An Ice Queen for sale (Alice)

Chapter 29 The invitation Gideon

I wasn't ease at all when I watched the car leaving. Sam was our family's most trusted guy. He guarded Sloane as well through her childhood. No one could touch her. He knew why Alice was here, but still I asked him to take care of her. Sam was so confused, but he

understood me when I told him it's not the time yet.

I went back to the house. Gemma was still there, I hoped that was the last day she wanted to spend here, as it was even harder to stand her behavior. And that wasn't my only problem with her. I seriously worried that she would provoke Alice again, and I wouldn't be able to hold myself back from defending her. That would ruin everything. I couldn't let that happen.

I hast sat down on the sofa in the living room when I heard Gemma.

"Good morning."

She stood at the door in a tank top, and in a thong only. I looked at her as she walked closer. She stood behind me and massaged my shoulders.

"Don't t you want to take a shower?" She asked in a tone that always turned me on. But not this time.

"I showered already."

She stopped moving. She walked in front of me and went to her knees. Her hands were on my tights, drifting to my lower abdomen.

I took a deep breath. I hardened instantly, but I didn't want to have sex with her. My body wanted that, but my brain didn't. I thought about refusing her wasn't a good idea. She would have blamed Alice for that, and that just would have created another conflict between them. I couldn't let that happen. I was thinking of yesterday, when I could trick my brain. Imagining Alice had sex with me was satisfying enough, so Gemma was at ease. I was just about to do that again when my phone vibrated. Opening my eyes, I pushed Gemma away from me, and I got my phone, ignoring her disappointed face. That was Seth. I picked it up.

"Seth."

"Hi Gid. How come you are not sleeping this time?"

"I had to get up early. What's up?"

"Are you busy today?"

"No, not really."

"Good, I want to invite you to join us today."

"What do you do?"

"We decided with Leah, we are going to give a present to Ava that she longed for," ""What?"

"She wants to ice skate."

That made me frown. They couldn't know that Alice was a figure skater.

"Are you serious? She is still so little, and that sport is dangerous,"

"She is at the

perfect age to start it. We bought everything to keep her safe. And she really wants that so much."

"And what do you want me to do?-

ey can play with each other, etcetera. We planned to

"That is going to be her first time on ice. It's just a meeting for them before the training starts. They o be with her, then after the gala, we could have lunch together."

I was thinking. That would be a perfect occasion for me, I looked at Gemma, She was stil

still on his knees, waiting for me to finish the conversation.

d happy.

"Gid, I don't think she should come with you. I would bring Alice instead. It will be a family event in a busy place. That is a perfect opportunity." Gemma to hear this conversation.

I walked out of the living room. I didn't want Gen

"Gemma argued with me yesterday. She'll go mad if I miss her out of this."

"Gid, don't make me remind you of your plan. Riccardo's attention could be on you. Gemma has nothing to do there. Bring Alice with you."

I took a deep breath.

"Til take both of them then."

"Oh... look at the playboy, taking his wife and his girlfriend out at the same time."

"Fu❝k off Seth."

He laughed.

"You do what you want, just please tell your wh're to behave herself. We will have kids around."

"Bye Seth." I hung up.

He sent me the time. We still had time till then, I was happy about that, as I didn't want to disappoint Alice by calling her back so soon. She looked so happy to go. I didn't want her to be sad. My heart ached for her when I saw the fear in her eyes. I wished I could have comforted her

I called Sam

"Sam, I have to ask you to bring Alice back in an hour."

"Okay"

"Is everything alright?"

"Yes, Gideon."

"Okay, if something happens, call me."

"Okay." I hung up.

I walked back to the living room, and 1 hoped Gemma would be happy about I was taking her to a family event, and she would forget about sex. Avoiding arguments, I decided I would tell her about Alice coming as well, only before we leave, "Gemma,"

She looked at me.

"Seth called me. He invited me to join them today. And I want to take you with me if you want to come."

Her eyes widened, and she smiled at me. She stood up and hugged me.

"Gideon, of course... I want to go. When?"

"Soon, so I think it's better if you get ready."

"Of course. What occasion is that?"

"Just wear

something comfy."

"Okay"

living room when she turned back and ran to me. She folded her arms around me and kissed my face. Then she leaned closer

Then she smiled at me and ran out. I could be at ease f

for a little while now. I said comfy, so I hoped she would get ready in time.

I was deep in thoughts for a long time. Actually, I was thinking about my plan again and again.

My phone woke me up from my daze. It was a message from Sam. He said he found Alice talking to a man. He wrote the man was probably a trainer, or a staff.

My rules were clear, and even if they had no meaning now, without Alice knowing that, she wouldn't do anything that would anger me. She still thought that I would hurt her, which I would never do, but I would have killed that bastard who touches her. He also said they were on the way back. 1 stood up, then I went to my room to get ready. Gemma was there. She's done her hair, she had her makeup on. She wore leggings and a tank top that followed her lines really well, and left little for the imagination.
