Seducing My Ex's Father In Law

"Alpha Landry," the hostess said, a polite smile on her face. "Your Beta just dropped your children off. They are already seated at their usual table. Maybe I'll escort you?" She asked, motioning for the back patio.

"Not necessary," Gavin said, wrapping an arm around my waist, keeping me pinned to his side. The hostess glanced at me and her body tensed; she cleared her throat, and then forced a tight smile.

"Of course," she said. "Enjoy your meal."

Without another word, Gavin put his hand on the small of my back and guided me towards the patio entrance. It was a large space with a few tables spaced apart with white umbrellas. Irene and Matt sat at one of the tables closest to the edge, overlooking the harbor.

"Dad!" Matt was the first to spot us. He was already running towards us and hugging both his father and me.

"Hope you weren't waiting long," Gavin said he running his fingers through Matt's shabby brown hair.

"No, we just got here," Matt said, guiding us to the table.

"Have you ordered yet?" Gavin asked.

"Not yet. Irene told them we are waiting for you to arrive," Matt explained.

Gavin nodded.

Irene stood up when we approached, and as soon as her eyes met mine, they widened. She stared at me from head to toe, her mouth agape.
