He paused and turned to look at me, his hand still wrapped around my wrist. Not enough to hurt, but enough to make me realize he had no intentions of letting me go anytime soon.
“Watch duty,” he murmured. “You are coming with me.”
“I thought I was on Levi’s team,” I said, my tone coming out breathy and unfamiliar. I hated the effect he had on me; having him with me on this watch duty was probably the worst idea ever.
Especially alone…
“That’s never been the plan.”
I swallowed the lump in my throat as I stared up at him. I wasn’t sure what to say at that moment, so I remained silent as he continued to pull me towards the forest opening.
Soon, we were engulfed by the woods; it was much darker than it had been a moment ago, and truth be told, I wasn’t entirely sure where we were going. But soon, he stopped walking, and his shoulders seemed to relax some.
He finally released my wrist, and I pulled back slightly so I could look up at him. He wasn’t looking at me; instead, he was leaning against a tree with his hands buried in his pockets and his right foot resting on the trunk of the tree.
Anger flared inside of me for both his recklessness and for standing me up.
“Are you going to pretend like you didn’t just drag me away like some kind of caveman?” I asked, folding my arms across my chest. “What the hell was that about? What if they get the wrong idea!”
He stared at me, his eyes darkening.
“I’m only here to monitor you during your watch duty. You should probably get to work,” he murmured, looking away from me, his face shining with disinterest.
His words were like a stab in the chest.
I knew arguing with him would be pointless, so I decided to get to work on my watch duties. I had seen gammas do this before; they set themselves up high so they can get a good look at their surroundings.
The same tree Gavin was leaning against, I decided to climb to the top until I found a thick enough branch.
I remained perched on the branch, keeping my eyes out on my surroundings area, wondering where everyone else was stationed. I wasn’t really expecting anything to happen here tonight, but I was determined to make sure I nailed this job.
We remained silent for several hours, the silence stretching out and consuming us. I stared down at him continuously throughout the night, and he remained quietly against the tree.

The readers' comments on the novel: Seducing My Ex’s Father In Law
Anyone have suggestions for other books like this that are captivating for me to read while I wait for more chapters etc?...
Despite everyone's frustrations with this book, I think it's quite entertaining. I think Gavin and Judy have a long road ahead of them. If/when they're able to finally get on the same page, they still have to deal with his mom. Not to mention Judy has to reconcile with Matthew after abandoning him when she promised she wouldn't; and face Irene with the news that she's carrying a new sibling. Lol, Levi is the least of their concerns. Then there's having the baby. Pretty sure Gavin has untreated trauma associated with Irene's birth. My thoughts are, just be patient, find other books to read in between and enjoy the ride. I think it'll be good....
Anyone Know where we Can Read all of this book 2 chapters a day is a joke And waiting is killing me I’ll just want to end this book !!...
I never really read these books, but came across this one and annoyingly got hooked. Do these books just go on forever with no resolution? As if so, I’m going to call it a day and write my own ending lol...
Lovely… I just found this book Friday and I’ve finished all that here. How often do they release more and how much at a time?! I’m invested....
So Spencer was “in love” before he even meet her? I used to wake up and read this book but now I let days go past before I read the chapters...
Well heres to the next 300 pages of this never ending story because now Gavin is going to have to save her before Spencer does something even more stupid because Judy is to weak to do anything for herself apparently....
3 chapters we didn't need. Already guessed Spencer was working with Levi and that the attacks were also Levi...
I think of all the things that bother me the most about the rushed writing is the inconsistencies. Judy and Nans room number was initially 606 when they checked in at the island resort for the Gamma Competition, but then was suddemly 906 - which turned out to be needed information later. When they first met, Judy went to Gavin's office the next day and told him about her father's imprisonment and her need for money, but then later the author made it sound like Gavin had no idea. She won 5 million for takimg first in the competition but then it was eluded to her not have much money and needed cash from the additional tutoring job with Lukas and the position in Levi's elite force. Honestly, the wishy-washy writing makes it feel like Gavin is less of a strong leader and more like he has so much personal drama he cant keep anything straight. It feels like Judy is weaker than the author has intended, as well. I feel like Rachel's return could have been tightened up with more details around her time Gavin instead of making Judy out to be a bit pathetic and desperate for just a sliver of Gavins attention. Her pregnancy was also disappointing because of the rushed plot, the author seemed to have forgotten that Judy gave her virginity to Gavin and no other sexual partners were introduced for her - so who the father of her baby was shouldn't have felt like such a surprise - it felt a bit insulting to her vibe and the character build throughout the hundreds of unnecessary chapters. I believe if the author spent a little more time and cleaned up some of the events with pertinent and necessary details and remove the oddities of over-the-top pieces (like the shower gel and cologne that appeared out of nowhere for Gavin in Judy's condo) this storyline could really be something great and intriguing for readers....
