Chapter 375
“Make sure he’s also able to continue his business as well. I don’t want them to have to worry about anything,” I ordered.
“Yes, sir,” Taylor, I could hear the smile in his voice; it made me roll my eyes as I ended the call without saying another word.
I sat in the resort bar, sipping scotch, thinking about my last encounter with Judy. I could practically taste her on my lips still and my cock twitched in my pants at the very thought. Tomorrow was the last day for the competition; tomorrow would determine the winner. I had already made up my mind though; I was going to ask her to be in the Elite force for my pack, whether she won or not. She more than earned her spot on the force and I wasn’t going to allow her to work for anyone else. Especially not Levi.
A presence beside him made him freeze and he turned to see a familiar figure seated beside him, her curly blond hair draped around her shoulders and crowning her features as she grinned at him. Instead of feeling attraction, he felt annoyed.
“What the fuck are you doing here, Daisy?” He asked, his annoyance palpable. “Can’t I come to a famous resort?” She asked innocently, batting her long lashes. “It’s just a coincidence that you happen to be here too. Or maybe it’s fate.”
“Fate has nothing to do with it,” I murmur, downing the rest of my scotch before I stand up. “If you’ll excuse me.”
“You’re going to make me buy my own drink? Is that any way to treat an old friend, Gavin?” Daisy asked, her bottom lip jetting out in a pout.
A low growl escaped my throat.
“You are not a friend.”
“That hurts,” she said, standing to her feet, her body swaying as she walked towards me. “And here I thought I meant something to you. After all, I do know your darkest secrets.”
My body tensed as I watched her; her eyes glinting with mischief.
“What is it you want, Daisy?” I asked through my teeth, not in the mood for her games.
“Take me to dinner tonight,” she said, her tone though sweet, still held a bite to it. “That’s all I want… just one evening being dined by the great Gavin Landry.” My eyes darkened.
“Why?”
She shrugged and gave me a playful smirk, which didn’t quite reach her eyes.
“No reason; I just want to catch up,” she said innocently as she batted her long and dark lashes. “Is that too much to ask?”
I swallowed, my jaw tense. The last thing I wanted was to be caught dead out and about with Daisy Baldwin; her motives were never pure and hadn’t been since I married Melissa all those years ago. I didn’t trust her, and she knew this.
“Don’t look at me like that, Gavin. It hurts my feelings… and you won’t like me when my feelings are hurt,” she said, a darkness in her eyes put my wolf on edge.
“Don’t you fucking threaten me,” I said in a low and threatening growl.
She smirked and stepped closer to me, her lips against my ear as she whispered,
“It would be such a shame if your secrets go to your precious Judy.”
I clenched my fists.
“You are asking for death, Daisy,” I hissed.
She giggled and stepped back.
“It doesn’t matter if you kill me. I’m not the only one here who knows. Did you really think she wasn’t being watched?”
My heart hammered in my chest at the thought of others being around, knowing my secrets, and keeping watch over Judy, waiting for the opportunity to strike. I wanted to throw her over my shoulder and run from this country; I wanted to take her somewhere else safer. Somewhere away from here.
My fists clenched at my sides as my nails dug into the palms of my hands. Daisy smirked again, knowing she had me where she wanted me.
“Just dinner, and I’ll make sure your secret never gets revealed to her.”
I swallowed the lump in my throat.
“Just dinner?” I asked, my resolve was cracking slightly.
She nodded.
“Yes,” she confirmed, folding her arms across her chest.
“Fine,” I muttered. “I’ll pick you up tonight, but Daisy, if you breathe a word about
this to anyone… and I’ll make sure my face is the last one you see.”
With that threat hanging in the air, I turned and stormed out.
