The Alpha Who Saved Me

CHAPTER 65

Gavin

When I come back from tossing the used condom away, Quinn is wearing my shirt and sitting in the window seat, staring out into the darkness. I walk over to her and run my fingers through her beautiful auburn locks.

“Why?” It’s all she says without looking at me. I can feel her emotions all over the place as I kneel on the floor beside her. When I try drawing her into my arms, she pulls away, “No. Please answer my question.”

“Quinn, I’m not sure how to explain it without you getting upset with me.” I try holding her once more, but she isn’t having it.

“Well, then I guess there isn’t anything more to say to one another.” She states as she stands up, pulling my shirt over her head and tossing it at me, “Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.”

Now I’m pi*sed, I stand and grab her arm wanting to hold her back, so I can try and explain, but she takes hold of my wrist, and next thing I know, I’m flying through the air and slamming into the closet door all the way across the room. I drop to the floor, stunned momentarily.

“Oh, my Goddess! I’m so sorry, Gavin.” Quinn is kneeling next to me, a look of worry written all over her face.

“For f*ck’s sake, Quinn, what the hell was that?” I ask rolling my right shoulder around since it took most of the impact.

“I don’t know, I swear! I was just going to yank your hand off my arm.” She stares wide-eyed at me as she tries helping me up, but I brush her off. There is already enough damage done to my ego without needing her help in getting up off the floor. “Please, let me help you, Gavin.”

“Why, so you can throw me to that side of the room this time?” I try giving her an annoyed look, but a smirk takes its place, and then I chuckle. Instead, I pull her down to my lap, “You need to listen to me, Quinn. I want to claim you as my chosen more than anything, but I think you need to make sure that it’s what you really want.”
