Chapter Fourteen

Daisy pulled away from Gavin’s mouth, looking over his shoulder. Lukas was watching the two of them from the doorway with amusement.

“Sorry to interrupt, but you know, this is my house.”

Gavin rolled his eyes. She gave him a sharp look, but she didn’t step away. Lukas walked further into the room and behind him, was Ella. Her eyes went a little wide when she saw them with their arms around each other. She kept her mouth firmly closed.

“Well, this is going to be awkward,” Daisy muttered under her breath.

Gavin stroked her hair, giving her a smile. She knew he’d heard her. Damn vampires and their super senses. She stepped away from him, but he enclosed her hand in his. She stared down at their entwined fingers. This was the first time he’d shown affection towards her in front of anyone. She didn’t count the night when she’d practically pounced on him in front of Aaron. When she met his eyes again, he was expressionless. She didn’t know what this meant. Maybe he was going to prove to her friend he wasn’t the monster Ella thought he was.

Ella and Lukas sat down on the sofa together, his arm wrapped around her shoulder.

“Are you okay?” he murmured to her.

She nodded, still staring at Daisy and Gavin with hesitancy in her eyes. Gavin tugged Daisy over to the armchair and sat down, pulling her into his lap. He curled a hand around her waist and laid his other on the arm of the chair. She felt a little uncomfortable. She didn’t want to rub her weird relationship with him in Ella’s face.

“I think we need to clear the air between the four of us, don’t we?” he said, appraising the two hybrids on the sofa.

“For the record, I don’t have a problem with this,” Lukas said, waving his hand at them.

Daisy cringed a little. The only one who had an issue was her best friend.

“I think the problem is that Ella doesn’t really know you. Isn’t that right?” Daisy said, trying to ease the tension.

“I don’t trust your kind,” Ella said.

Daisy tensed. Ella wasn’t going to make this easy.

“Do you trust your friend?” Gavin asked.

“With my life.”

“I am not Raquel, Ella.”

The room was deadly silent. Ella’s hands shook. He’d well and truly hit the nail on the head with that comment. Ella looked away, blinking back tears.

“I know,” she whispered.

Daisy’s heart broke. Her best friend was in pain. Gavin’s hand around her tightened. He could feel her emotions. She hadn’t even begun to process what it meant or how she felt about it. She took his hand, giving it a little squeeze before letting go and standing. She skirted around the coffee table and knelt by Ella’s feet. She took Ella’s hands.

“Ella, babe, I’m sorry you’re hurting. I’m sorry that happened to you even though you won’t tell me exactly what she did.” Ella looked down at her. “I love you, you know that.”

Ella nodded, squeezing her hands. She lowered her voice to a whisper even though she knew both Gavin and Lukas could still hear them.
