Seducing My Ex’s Father In Law novel Chapter 617

Despite being a friend, and his embrace warm, his touch somehow felt wrong. Like, I shouldn’t be allowing him to touch me like this. But I needed to feel something… anything other than the pain I was feeling from Gavin.

“Come on,” he said softly, lifting me off the ground and carrying me bridal style. My lips trembled as I suppressed more sobs, but I couldn’t hold them in.

He brought me over to his waiting car and helped me into the passenger seat. He buckled my seatbelt because I was too out of it to do it myself. He ran around the car and got into the driver’s seat. For a moment, I thought I heard my name coming from Lucy’s lips, but it was gone as Spencer sped away from the packhouse.

He was quiet as he drove through the streets; his hands clutching the steering wheel tightly, as if it owed him money, and his jaw tensing periodically.

I glanced up at him with a frown, not sure what to say. I was grateful for my friend at that moment for getting me away from the packhouse, but now that I was getting further away, I had questions in my mind… like why?

Most of the gammas were on post with this new threat out there, so why was Spencer at the packhouse to begin with?

“Thanks,” I tell him, breaking the silence after a long while.

“Don’t mention it,” he said, his eyes remaining fixed on the road.

“You didn’t have to do that, you know.”

He was quiet, which gave me a slightly eerie feeling in the pit of my stomach. It was a feeling I never got from being around him before, and I wasn’t sure where it was coming from now.

I blamed it on the high tension from what I just dealt with, the heartbreak, and the pregnancy hormones. It was clouding my judgment, apparently.

As we passed my condo, my frown only deepened as I looked at him. I assumed he was taking me home, and his house was in the other direction.

“Where exactly are you taking me?” I asked him, my tone coming out rougher than I intended.

“Somewhere safe,” he assured me, though his tone was anything but reassuring. I furrowed my brows at him, not sure what he was talking about. This pack was plenty safe with the amount of security there was around here this last day or so. I wasn’t in any kind of danger… at least not physically. So, I wasn’t sure why he felt the need to take me somewhere safe.

“I’d rather just go home,” I told him honestly.
