“Ready to go?” He asked me, his tone a low whisper, his breath warming the side of my face as he whispered into my ear.
I nodded.
“More than ready,” I told him.
“We have to return to that game from earlier and get your prize,” he reminded me.
I laughed at the memory, but the laugh was cut short when Donna, his mother, approached us, her arms folded across her chest.
“Gavin, can we have a word please… in private,” she said, her eyes narrowed as she stared at her son.
Gavin sighed and ran his fingers through his hair, clearly fed up with his mother.
“I’m on a date,” Gavin told her, tightening his hold around my shoulders. “I’m not leaving her to speak with my mother. If you’ll excuse us, I need to get Judy home.”
“Fine but we will be talking about this tomorrow. Expect a visit at your office bright and early,” she shouted after him. His fists tightened in a ball, and I could tell he was holding himself back from saying and doing something he would regret.
“He’ll be back,” I heard Daisy saying to Donna. “There’s nothing for you to worry about, Mom.”
I hated that I was jealous, I hated that I was acting insecure, but the fact that his mom doesn’t like me… hurt.
Once we got back to the car, I was silent. Gavin sighed as he put the car in drive, looked both ways and pulled out of the parking spot.
“Don’t let them get to you,” he said softly. “They don’t know what they are talking about. My mother thinks she knows best… but she doesn’t. She’s being naive and soon her eyes will open, and she’ll realize her mistake.”
“What mistake?” I asked.
“That she can’t control me or who I bring into my life. All she cares about is her family fortune… she worries that if it’s put in the wrong hands, it could ruin everything.”
“And she’s not worried about Daisy?” I asked, raising my brows. “She screams gold-digger.”
“Yes, she does, which is what I try to tell my mother. But she claims that Daisy is a good friend and would never do anything to hurt the Landry family. I don’t know if I believe that myself though.”
“I don’t believe that at all,” I murmur, thinking about all the terrible things Daisy had said and done since I’d known her.
“Nor do I,” he replied a bit too quickly. “Besides their intrusion at the end, I hope this evening was satisfactory for you.”
I glanced at him.
“Satisfactory?” I asked. “Tonight was amazing. By far the best date I’ve ever been on.”
Granted, I haven’t been on many, but this was definitely at the top.
He bent down and brushed his lips delicately across mine as if he was just getting a small taste.
“Good night, Judy,” he murmured against my lips.
“Good night,” I whispered against his.
He pulled back a sparkle of something in his eyes that made my heart skip a beat. He then opened the door for me to enter the mansion, and with a gentle nudge, I stepped inside. He pulled the door shut, blocking my view of him.
I was still in a daze long after he left. I stayed in front of the closed door, even when I heard his car starting up and him driving away.
Tonight was completely magical.
By the time I reached my room, I was practically floating. I grabbed my doorknob and pulled it open, stepping inside.
As soon as I was inside, I heard something crashing to the ground, making me freeze entirely. I was now on full alert that someone was in my room as my eyes scanned the area. It was dark in my room, but with my wolf sight, I was able to spot the invader perfectly; someone was going through my things… searching for God knows what.
Standing across my bedroom, looking like a dear caught in headlights was… “Sammy?”

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....
