Chapter 15
I wanted to see what shed do , he said with a shrug .
Ive had enough of this ! Gavin growled.
You are grounded until I say otherwise .
W … what ? Matt cried .
But … but I was just joking … Tears filled Matts eyes , and I would be lying if I said I didnt feel bad for the kid .
I mean , it was only water , and it was a harmless prank .
But I certainly wasnt going to intervene in Gavins parenting .
Adam rushed out of the Villa , having witnessed this show , le had a towel in his hands .
Get to your room , Matthew , Gavin ordered .
He then glared at Adam .
Take him to his room .
5 , Alpha , Adam said , bowing his head .
Yes , I took the towel from Adam and went to Gavin to dry off his back , as I did so , I listened to Matt cry .
But Dad , you never play with me anymore , he whined .
just wanted to have fun … This is not the way to get my attention , Gavin said firmly We will discuss this again later .
I began to towel dry Gavins soaked back ; his shirt was now transparent due to the water , and I could see the strong muscles of his back .
My mind was immediately brought back to the night in the VIP suite when I ran my fingers down his back .
I hadnt realized how muscly it was until this very moment .
I wanted to run my fingers down them again .
As I patted his back dry , I found that my other hand had a mind of its own and it wandered under his shirt .
I felt his back stiffen as my fingers explored his ridges and creases .
I used my other hand to move the towel under his shirt as well , acting as if I was only drying him off .
His breathing seemed to have gotten harder , almost matching mine .
The silence between us was so thick that I could hear the sounds of my heart beating .
I bit my lip as my fingers traveled downward until they started to reach his lower back .
Mattie , whats wrong ? A feminine voice said from nearby .
I whipped my hand away , coming back to reality .
My face burned with embarrassment .
What had happened to me ? How did I lose control like that and why did he let me ? ་ ་ He quickly adjusted his shirt and cleared his throat .
He turned and without looking at me , grabbed the towel from my hands .
My hands fell to my sides , and I stared at the ground , willing my face to stop burning .
Dad grounded me , Matt answered the woman .
What did you do now , Mattie ? The woman asked .
Just wanted to have some fun and squirted them with water , Matt confessed .
I was just taking him to his room .
If youll excuse us , Madam Irene , Adam said as he ushered Matt inside .
At the sound of her name , my gaze lifted and sure enough , Irene stood in front of us with a concerned look in her pretty eyes .
Irene truly was a beautiful woman , and my chest tightened at the thought of Ethan being with her .
She wore a casual pink dress that fit her form perfectly .
Her long blond hair was braided down her back and she only wore a little makeup ; she didnt need a ton of makeup o be pretty , which irritated me even more .
She watched as Adam took Matt inside and then she frowned at her father .
Chapter 0015 What was that about ? She asked him .
Your brother and his tricks , Gavin muttered .
That boy needs more discipline .
And because the cruel fates were laughing at me , Ethan walked around the corner , completely oblivious to the tension in the area .
At that moment , Irene noticed me , and she frowned , tilting her head before looking at her father with a questioning look .
But my gaze was too focused on Ethans to notice anything else around me .
He froze entirely when he saw me standing beside Gavin and then his eyes darkened with irritation .
I bit my lower lip as I stared back at him and I swear I heard a low growl escape his throat , which brought Irenes attention to her fiancé . She frowned at him and then she looked at me .
I could see the questioning look in her eyes and then the brief worry as she folded her arms across her chest .
Who is this woman ? She asked Ethan .
Do you know her ?
