“He put you to bed?” She asked, I could hear the smile in her voice.“In the most nonsexual way possible,” I told her. “I was still fully clothed.”“Ouch,” she murmured.“What am I going to do, Nan? I made a complete fool out of myself in front of a Lycan.”“You were drunk; you can’t blame yourself
Judy’s POV“Irene,” I greeted, thankful that I sounded stronger than I felt. “I wasn’t expecting to see you here.”“Oh, I was just getting some stuff for my upcoming wedding,” she said, holding up her shopping bag. She glanced at Nan. “And who’s this?”I swallowed the lump in my throat; the last thi
Nan had a good idea during dinner to maybe go and see my father in prison; perhaps he could give me some insight on how to handle his mate. I wasn’t sure if that was something I was ready for. But after I got out of school the next day, I decided to give it a shot and see if I could speak with my fa
Judy’s POVThere was clear sadness in my father’s eyes as he watched me plead for my mother. I knew it was breaking his heart that he couldn’t be there with her to hold and comfort her. He used to tell me stories about the first time he ever saw her and how in love he was. He knew right away that sh
She put her seatbelt on, and I did the same. Then, she put the car in drive and drove off toward Gavin’s Villa.“I’m sorry if my brother is too much,” she said after a beat of silence. “He’s chased off every tutor he’s ever had. I’m not sure what’s wrong with that boy.”“He seems great to me,” I tol
Judy’s POV“Matthew! What have you done??” I heard Irene shrieking from the back porch steps. I hadn’t even known she was there, and I wondered how long she had been watching us for.I watched as Matt’s face turned pale and his eyes grew misty with unshed tears.“I’m so sorry, Judy,” he said, his bo
I knew she was right.It took a few more minutes, but eventually, Irene found a blouse along with a skirt. I frowned at the skirt and raised my eyebrows at her.“My pants are fine,” I told her, pointing to my pants.“Yeah, but this blouse requires this skirt,” she told me. “Trust me, I know fashion.
Gavin’s POV“I picked up the pink gems you requested,” Beta Taylor said as I walked into the villa. He held out a long black case to me and I took it without hesitation. I opened it and smiled at the pretty string of pink gems. This would look great on the mirror in Irene’s new car. She was going to
“What is it?” Alex finally asked after a long while of silence.“I need to call my father,” Irene said, still in a daze.She grabbed her phone and swiped across the screen until she got to Gavin’s contact number. Then she pressed the call button, her breathing shaky. She’s hoping that her tone doesn
Third Person POVIrene was lost in thought, lying in the parlor, doom-scrolling through her phone. She frowned when she came across a recent article that featured her father and Judy out on what seemed like a date. Irene wasn’t stupid, she knew that there was something going on between the two of th
“Did you think I wouldn’t?” I asked him.He shrugged his shoulders.“I knew Dad would come back, but I didn’t think you would take,” he admitted. “But I’m glad you’re here. Doctor Pierce said I can leave later today because my vitals are good.”Eliza nodded, a fond look in her eyes.“It’s true. He s
Judy’s POVI slept better than I had in a long time. I was fully satisfied both emotionally and sexually. As the sun cast its morning rays through the window, causing a subdued light in the room, I stretched out my body and yawned tiredly. Gavin’s arms tightened around me from behind, pulling me clo
I finally broke my kiss from her mouth and started to trail down the nape of her neck. I nibbled on her ear, kissed the sensitive spot just below the back of her ear, the one that makes her shudder with pleasure and goosebumps form on her arms and legs.My hands moved to her hair and to the buttons
Gavin’s POV“Judy’s friends are settled in the villa,” Taylor said as soon as we got back to the villa. He was standing at the entrance with the butler, Alex.My hand was still tucked in Judys, a slight blush on her cheeks that did something to my insides.“Great,” I said. “You can proceed on that o
I gave him a sad smile.“I think over time he will learn to forgive her,” I told him honestly. “It’s not something to rush, though. You just found out something devastating, and it’s going to take time. You need to sit with it for the time being, but also remember that there are people who love you
Judy’s POV“What?” Gavin asked, his eyes dark and brewing as he stared down at Matt. “What are you talking about?”“She told me it was she who put the peanut butter in my sandwich…” Matt murmured. “She tried to kill me and everybody knew about it… right?”My heart shattered at his accusatory words.
“I need you to look into Samantha, the maid in the mansion,” he said into the phone; I assumed he was speaking to Beta Taylor. “I want a full report on everything she does. In the meantime, I’m having Judy stay in the villa, so go there and pack some of her things to bring to the Villa.”My heart sk
