Page 97 of His White Moonlight
Lindi’s light brown gaze swung to me, not showing a hint of the maliciousness I knew she possessed.Her perfectly styled brunette hair was swept off her neck to showcase the necklace she wore.
“Lindi,” I said.“I didn’t expect to see you here.Nice necklace.”
She smiled prettily and touched the diamond strands.
“Thank you, Wrenly.I never thought I’d see you here either.”
“You know her?”Bennett asked me.
“I do,” I said neutrally.“From school.”
She held out her hand.“Lindi Shane.And you are?”
He looked from her to her hand and reluctantly shook it.“Bennett Wulf.”
“It’s a pleasure to meet you, Mr.Wulf.I would love to meet for coffee sometime, if you’re interested.”
She plucked a business card from her tiny clutch and passed it to him when he released her hand.Again, he hesitated for several seconds before accepting it.
“I hope I hear from you,” she said.
With a polite nod, she walked away with her mom.
CHAPTER FIFTEEN
The air outsidehelped cool my overheated skin as I focused on remaining calm.I could feel Bennett's gaze on me as we waited for the valet and hoped he wasn’t smelling my fear and anxiety.
“How well do you know her?”Bennett asked.
“Well enough to know she’d pick up on the third ring if you called her.”
“You don’t sound happy about that.”
“Your love life and who you choose to spend your time with is your business, not mine.If you’re interested in her, I wouldn’t stop you.”
I’d push you with both hands,I silently added.
“I’m not interested in her.Just curious.”
The car pulled up, and Bennett opened my door for me.I got in and glanced at the restaurant's entrance, half-expecting to see Lindi there.She wasn’t.She was too smart to be spotted.But she was somewhere watching, probably trying to figure out how I knew Bennett.
While at school, I’d been very careful to disassociate myself from the Wulfs.Every time Mom and Dad had visited, I’d ensured it was on a weekend when most of the students were gone.I’d even switched out Mom and Dad’s contact information with Grandma's on my registration form when some of the girls started to ask questions.
I was so lost in thoughts of school hell that I didn’t realize Bennett had taken a different exit until we left the neighborhoods and entered fields and trees.
“Where are we going?”
“I need to go for a run.”
“Why out here?”I asked, getting nervous.
“Because I don’t think I could handle any of the pack joining me right now.”
I glanced at him, but his expressionless mask was in place again, making his mood hard to read.
“Wouldn’t it have been better to take me home first?”I asked.
“No.”
