Fell for the Alpha-less Queen

Just One More Night Together

43 Peade

All afternoon, Ms. Tessa rehearsed with the Avery band. The six of them felt like they had gone back five years-back when they had nothing, but could still enjoy the pure joy of making music together.

It wasn't until the sky had darkened that Ms. Tessa finally stood up and said goodbye. "It's late. I'm heading home."

"Tessa, it's already this late. Why not just stay here tonight? Why go all the way back?" someone asked.

Ms. Tessa shook her head. "No. Landon's still waiting outside."

He understood the bond she had with the band, so he hadn't come into the rehearsal room at all. But she knew him-if she didn't go home tonight, he would wait out there all night without saying a word.

Once the others heard that, they stopped trying to convince her to stay and walked her out instead.

Sure enough, the moment she stepped outside, she saw Landon's car parked nearby. As soon as he saw her, he got out and opened the door for her.

Ms. Tessa sank into the seat and leaned back without saying a word. She really was a little tired.

"Tired?" Landon asked with concern. He knew she was planning a concert and hadn't objected-whatever she wanted to do, he would support it.

"Yeah. It's been a while since I practiced with them. I'm definitely a little exhausted... but I really love this feeling."

She'd never wanted to debut or live under the spotlight, but she truly did love music.

"Then that's all that matters. If there's anything I can help with for the concert, just tell me."

"Not for now."

"Alright. But if there's anything you need, you have to let me know. Okay?"

"Of course. Don't worry. If I need your help, I'll definitely tell you."

"Just be careful when you go out lately. Evan's backed into a corner wounded dogs bite harder. He's dangerous, and not the kind of guy to play fair."

Landon couldn't be by her side twenty-four hours a day. In the end, she'd still have to be careful.

"You be careful too," she said. She worried about him as well. No matter how strong he was, he was still just

one person.

And she didn't want to become his weakness.

"Don't worry. Evan wouldn't dare touch me." Evan knew exactly what kind of man Landon was-and could and couldn't be messed with.

When they arrived at Wisteria Apartment, Landon went straight to the bathroom and drew a hot bath in the large tub. Then he returned to the living room and gently picked up Ms. Tessa, who was resting on the

couch.

"You've had a long day. A hot bath will help you relax."

"Mm." Ms. Tessa felt like he was spoiling her too much. So much that she was starting to lose the ability to take care of herself.

"Landon, aren't you spoiling me a little too much? You're going to ruin me."

Landon chuckled. "I want to spoil you. And even if I do ruin you, that's fine- because I plan to keep spoiling you."

He always worried he wasn't giving her enough. He always wanted to give her the best of everything.

There was over a decade between them. Naturally, he sometimes feared there might be a gap between them.

Ms. Tessa leaned into his arms.

"Well, looks like I'm stuck with you for life. No one else in this world could ever treat me better than you.

After experiencing the kind of care he gave, how could anyone else possibly compare?

Hearing her say that made Landon incredibly happy.

"I like that. I like when you say 'for life.""

He carried her into the bathroom and gently set her down. "Want me to undress you?"

He'd be more than happy to help.

Ms. Tessa laughed and boldly raised her arms. "Yes."

Landon raised an eyebrow.

She definitely understood what he was implying. If she had said no, he would

have held back for the night.

But clearly, she still had the energy for some nighttime activity.noveldrama

And that... he wasn't about to pass up.
