Your Dad's Perfect (Ruby) novel Chapter 35

We walk through the hall. I don't even need to turn to know his eyes are fixed on my ass. I do, though, his eyes raise, and he smirks.

"You need to stop wearing things like this here."

"Would you rather I was nude?" He pulls me to him.

"Don't tempt me to say yes."

Smirking I nod, and turn back, opening the door I can't help but smile.

"Ruby." I freeze, seeing Jake, and hear the door close behind me. I don't move. I have no idea if Alaric is still there, but the door has a glass panel. I turn and look behind, unable to see him. "Ruby."

Turning, I look at Jake. "What?" My word is quiet. "Why are you here?"

"You avoided me all week. You said you were busy, but come here?" He stands, looking around the room.

"Jake, you need to stop following me."

"If you had answered, I wouldn't need to."

"I don't have my phone with me, Jake." I left it at home so I could avoid his calls. "How did you find out I was here?"

"Ivy said you were with Bex but wouldn't say where. I rang Lucy, and she told me where you were." He looks around us. "What the fuck is this place anyway?"

"Jake, you need to leave."

"Who is the guy?" I don't answer. "Ruby, who is the guy you're seeing? I have a right to know."

"Jake, please stop. We're at a private business, don't do this here." I've avoided any communication with him. I had an assignment due, so that was my excuse.

He moves and his lips press against mine, moving I push him back.

"Jake!" What the fuck. "No!" He moves to kiss me again.

"Jake, Ruby." I look up and see Alaric; he came from another direction. "Why are you two here?"

"Dad? What is going on?" Jake looks between me and Alaric.

"You tell me. Someone came to my office and said someone was causing a scene. She said no."
