Page 77 of My Grumpy Alpha
I stare up at Eli and hate myself, I hate myself that I’m falling for him, and to him, I’m nothing but a booty call and I am powerless to say no when he says yes.
Chapter 27
I’ve Grown Soft
ELI
Marvin drives us down the street to the apartments, which should take all but two seconds. He keeps looking at us through the rearview mirror and smirking like he knows all our secrets.
Every time I inch my hand over to grab hers, he looks at us, like a parent driving their kid to prom.
Ridiculous.
And yet I jerk my hand back every time.
I glare at him.
He just shrugs and keeps driving.
I know she’s tired, at least she seems really tired, maybe it’s my fault, I’m asking too much of her body, but I feel like I’m wild, like I’ve been set free.
Don’t bite. Do not bite. I remind myself.
Marvin pulls up to the curb.
“You two have a great night!”
“You aren’t opening our door?” I ask.
He opens his own and gets out then opens mine, “Sorry sir, thought you were in a hurry.”
“Cheeky bastard.” I grumble under my breath.
He just keeps grinning.
“And miss Ava, I hope you have a great rest tonight, you really should turn in early.”
She yawns. I smack him on the arm.
He’s just asking to get fired.
"Clearly that therapy is doing wonders for your mood.” He nods at me.
“Wouldn’t you say Ava?”
She yawns again.
“Yes, his… er… um… temper has very much improved.”
“I’m sure it’s all due to therapy.” Marvin winks at me.
I’m murdering him later.
He shuts the door gently.
“Bye now!”
She walks past us, and I give him one more silent threat with my eyes while he blinks innocently at me as if to say what? What did I do?
