Seducing My Ex's Father In Law

I wouldn't dare speak.

Gavin released his grip on his mother. I saw the red mark on her wrist, though I knew it would heal in minutes, I still shivered at the thought that Gavin had hurt his mother enough to leave a mark. He was pissed, despite the apology. His wolf was still so pent up over the fact that his mother hurt me enough to draw blood; I could feel the anxiety and the anger continuing to roll off him.

I knew I needed to do something, so I placed my hand on his back, feeling his rigid shoulders.

"Hey," I said softly. "I'm okay. Just sit down with me."

I felt him relaxing slightly, though his eyes remained trained on his mother. I ran my fingers down his back and touched his hand, entwining my fingers with his.

"Please, Gavin," I whisper. "Just sit down."

After a pause, Gavin finally lowered himself back onto the couch beside me.

"Matilda," Donna said, her eyes darting to Matilda, who stood shell-shocked at the archway. I hadn't even seen or heard her approaching, and I wondered how much of that she saw. "Can you get the antiseptic and an icepack for Miss Montague's face?"

"Y... yes, ma'am," Matilda said and darted from the room without another word.
