Chapter 48 Do It for Me
Landon carefully applied sunscreen to Tessa, and by the time he was done, her face was as red as an apple.
“Thanks.” She lowered her head as she expressed her gratitude, feeling as if the areas he had touched were growing even hotter.
Seeing her shy reaction, Landon chuckled. “Let’s go.”
The two of them walked side by side toward the entrance of the whitewater ride.
Suddenly, Ysabel turned back to Tessa. “Let’s sit in a row together, all four of us!”
Hearing her, Tessa instinctively tried to pull away from Landon, but Nathaniel beat her to it, dragging Ysabel aside. “Don’t bother Alpha. You and I will sit together.”
Ysabel stomped hard on Nathaniel’s foot.
“Why are you stepping on me?!” Nathaniel winced in pain. Ysabel didn’t even have a wolf, but she still packed a punch.
“Serves you right! I want to sit with Tessie!”
It was only then that Ysabel belatedly realized, Is Uncle Landon into Tessie? But he’s 11 years older than her! That’s way too much of an age gap! No way am Somebodyting Tessie fall for this!
However, by the time she reacted, Landon and Tessa had already taken the back row.
Left with no choice, Ysabel sat with Nathaniel in the front row.
She turned back, only to see Landon fastening Tessa’s seatbelt. Their movements seemed far too intimate
“Oh no, this is bad,” Ysabel muttered in distress.
“What’s bad?”
“Uncle Landon is way too old! How can he even think about Tessie?” she wailed. “He’s completely lost it! Tessie’s not even an adult yet. She’s still underage!”
Nathaniel didn’t say a word. He was trying not to laugh
Someone had actually called Landon old, and it was none other than his own niece. But honestly, only Ysabel would have the nerve to speak about the Alpha this way.
As the ride started, Ysabel’s excitement took over, and for the moment, she forgot all about her concerns.
All along the ride, only Ysabel’s thrilled screams echoed The other three remained suprisingly calm.
When the boat reached the peak and plunged down into the water, a huge splash erupted.
Landon shielded Tessa with his body, blocking most of the water.
Being protected like this, Tessa felt a little conflicted.

“That was amazing!”
Ysabel was drenched, but she was still buzzing with excitement.
When they got off the ride, all four of them were wet to varying degrees.
“What do we do now?” Ysabel frowned, looking at her soaked clothes.

The damp fabric clung uncomfortably to her.
Landon spoke up smoothly, “Let’s go to Willow Ridge Resort.” Cameron and the others were still waiting there.
Tessa’s light–colored clothes were now completely soaked, sticking to her and outlining her curves.
Landon’s gaze darkened slightly before he quickly took off his jacket and handed it to her to wear backward.
Tessa didn’t refuse.
At the parking lot, Landon instructed Nathaniel, “Take care of Ysabel. Don’t bully her.”
“Alpha, you should know her temper by now. It’s a miracle if she doesn’t bully me. How would I even dare bully her?” Nathaniel sighed, looking at Ysabel helplessly yet fondly.
“Uncle Landon, you’re the one who shouldn’t bully Tessa!”
Ysabel had originally wanted to ride with them, but after receiving a single look from Landon, her voice grew smaller and smaller.
Nathaniel promptly shoved her into the car.
“Enough. Tessie’s smart enough to know what she’s doing.”
Landon opened the passenger door and guided Tessa inside.
Then, he retrieved a clean towel from the trunk, got into the car, and leaned over to dry her damp hair.
Tessa reached out to take the towel from him, but instead, she accidentally grabbed his hand. She immediately recoiled as if burned and retracted her hand.
“Mr. Thorne, I can do it myself.” The action felt too intimate, and she wasn’t used to it.
“Alright.”
Landon didn’t insist and handed her the towel.
Tessa absentmindedly patted at her hair.
“Do you want to dry off too?” she asked once she was done.
“You do it for me.”
Seeing her hesitate, Landon continued, “Didn’t I just help you?”

Tessa fell silent but still leaned forward and started drying his hair.

Tessa leaned forward slightly, while Landon lowered his head, his gaze inevitably falling on the graceful curves beneath her white T–shirt.
She appeared slender, yet every curve was perfectly proportioned where it mattered.
In this posture, her slightly open neckline revealed a glimpse of her soft, full chest, the delicate contours searing themselves into Landon’s vision.
