He handed me back the resume without saying a word. His eyes scanned me quickly before he turned his focus to his son. The atmosphere felt tense and a bit awkward. Matt stood there, waiting for a response, but the silence stretched on.

Matt was looking back and forth between me and his father. I could see the questions in his eyes.

“And what do you want, Matt?” Gavin asked the boy.

For a moment, Matt seemed uneasy. His eyes darted around, searching for the right words.

There was a part of me that thought Matt would tell me to leave and that he never wanted to see me again. I wasn’t sure if I had made an impression on him or if I was just like anyone else in his life.

I was preparing myself for a rejection when suddenly, Matt’s face lit up with a big smile as he looked at his father.

“I want Judy,” he said, surprising me with his choice.

Gavin and Adam also looked shocked by what Matt had just said.

Adam’s expression changed quickly, filled with emotions. Gavin raised his eyebrows as he looked at his son.

“Are you sure?” he asked, wanting to confirm.

Adam nodded in response.

“I thought she was just another pretty face,” he said. “But she’s shown me she’s more than that.”

“Dad, she’s really good at what she does. I want her to tutor me and train me to be the best,” he said proudly, glancing at me and then back at his father.

I felt a sense of warmth and excitement.

I felt a swell of pride in my chest, and I had to hold back a smile. I could see the admiration in Gavin’s eyes as he spoke to his son.

He then turned to me and said, “My son doesn’t usually get along with tutors. The fact…”

“That he likes you speaks volumes.”

My cheeks turned warm. Was that a compliment?

I cleared my throat, trying to regain my composure.

“You are the man of the house, and ultimately, it’s your decision. If you’d like…”

“I can still go. I didn’t mean to intrude on your home,” I said, keeping my head held high.

“Dad?” Matt asked, tugging at his father’s shirt. He looked worried, sensing that his father was about to make a decision that could change everything.

Gavin smiled at his son, Matt.

“Go inside with Adam. I need to talk to Judy for a moment,” he said softly.

Matt glanced at me and then back at his father for a brief moment.

Before nodding, he followed Adam into the villa without saying another word, leaving me alone with Gavin.

I wrapped my arms around myself, as if I was trying to protect myself from whatever Gavin was about to throw my way.

“I will leave,” I said.

“I told him before he could actually kick me out, ‘I honestly had no idea that you were his father.'”

For a moment, he looked a bit uneasy.

“I’m not going to make you leave,” he surprised me by saying.

“ My son likes you, and that’s rare. I won’t ruin that for him. I’ll let you be his tutor,” he told me.

“Oh, well, thank you,” I replied, reaching out my hand to shake his.

He looked at me briefly, his arms crossed over his chest. Then, he raised his eyes to meet mine. He was quiet, and I began to feel really uncomfortable and nervous under his gaze. To ease the tension, I slowly…

I lowered my hand.

“There are some conditions,” he finally said after what felt like forever.

I raised my eyebrows; I should have known it wouldn’t be that easy.

“What are these conditions?” I asked.

I asked him, “What do you think?”

He looked at me and said, “For starters, you can’t wear clothes like that again.” He glanced at my outfit before meeting my gaze again.

I was shocked by his words as I looked down at my crop top and shorts.

I noticed his frown. I remembered earlier when his eyes were dark as he looked at me. He shifted his gaze from my eyes down my body, stopping at my exposed belly for a moment before moving to my legs. I felt a blush rise to my cheeks at his lingering gaze.

The thought of him checking me out made me smile. As I stepped closer to him, a smirk spread across my lips. I realized I could have a little fun with him while we were on the topic.

I tilted my head to the side and looked into his eyes.

I looked into his darkening eyes, my voice dropping to a low, sultry whisper.

“Why is that, Alpha? Are you afraid you won’t be able to resist?”
