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.

"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."
