She wrapped her legs around his waist as he deepened the kiss. He nibbled on her bottom lip. “Let’s get out of here,” he murmured against her. She nodded and Ethan called one of his subordinates to come pick them up because he was far too drunk to drive. He took her back to his house and they ha
Judy’s POV For the last couple of days, the pain continued only at night. It would go on until the morning, but with Gavin holding me almost every night, it wasn’t as bad. I was able to get through it. It made no sense because I’ve noticed Irene around the mansion, she’s been avoiding me… ignoring
He sighed and shook his head. “Not even a little bit… but Irene… she’s fragile,” Gavin murmured, shaking his own head. “Taking Ethan away from her would destroy her and I worry about what she might do if that happens. She’s my daughter and I only care about her happiness. I just hope Ethan shapes
Gavin’s POV I was hesitant for a moment as I stood outside the closed door. This was ridiculous, I shouldn’t be this nervous. But I couldn’t get Judy’s words out of my head. Why would I want this for my own daughter? It was obvious Ethan wasn’t serious about his mating with her, so why should I al
“Okay,” I finally said after a beat of silence. “We don’t need to talk about this any further.” “Can you leave now?” She murmured. “I’m really tired.” I nodded and started to leave, but then I paused and glanced over my shoulder at her. “I thought you’d like to know that Ethan is sleeping in a
“It’s part of the job,” she murmured. “But exhausting. So, seriously What’s so important? You sounded urgent on the phone.” I sighed and ran my fingers through my hair, tugging at the ends. “My mom is selling the house,” I blurted. “What??” Nan gasped. “Why would she do that? She loves that ho
Judy’s POV I stared at Gavin completely dumbfounded. “What did you just say?” I asked, my voice coming out breathy. “I asked you to move in with me,” he repeated, his face serene as he stared back at me. Even though he repeated it, I still wasn’t convinced I heard him correctly. “You’re jo
When she found the Epi-pen in its usual place, she grabbed it and put it into her back pocket, knowing she was going to need it for what she was about to do. “I’ve missed talking to you,” Judy continued as she spread the red jam on the slice of bread. “I truly do think of you as a friend, Irene.”
Tyler looked dejected. But seriously, what did he think was going to happen?“Oh, okay,” he said, his eyes pleading for her to not go. Her stomach twisted, guilt clouding her judgment. She swallowed the lump in her throat.“But I’ll still see you tonight, right? The concert and all…” she reminded hi
Third Person POVNan wasn’t sure what she was doing. She had been a complete mess for days and she could feel herself spiraling out of control.“My cousin really likes you,” Mac told her during lunch the day before. “He thought you were really cute and funny and wanted me to find out if you were see
She turned around and fell to her knees, grabbing the waistline of my pants and pulling them down my legs, with my boxers. I stepped out of my pants and boxers, kicking them to the side. I started to unbutton my shirt, revealing each of my abs as my shirt loosened around my shoulders. Her eyes narro
Gavin’s POVI hadn’t left the forest; I needed to clear my head. We were close to being caught. My wolf was distracted, as was I, and neither of us sensed nor heard anyone else coming towards us. But when that girl appeared, I thought I was losing my mind.Judy returned to the forest about 45 minute
“I wanted to tell you that you did an amazing job,” she said thoughtfully.“Thank you,” I replied. “That’s really nice of you.”“Did your boyfriend compete?” Nan asked.Sammy nodded.“Yes. He’s at the medic now getting looked at. He should be cleared for the next round.”“When will we know if we are
Judy’s POVTabby froze when she saw Gavin seated beside me against the tree. Her eyes were wide, and her cheeks were flushed. She immediately averted her eyes to the ground. Gavin jumped away from me in time, so Tabby didn’t actually see anything, but she knew she walked in on something… she just di
I looked back at Mica and Jeremy who were talking amongst themselves. The chosen judges sat in the front, talking amongst themselves. Most of the audience went to greet the ones they were there to support. Nan was frowning in the direction Judy had gone while a guy spoke her ear from beside her. I d
Gavin’s POVI sat frozen as I watched Judy fly in the air. She had no parachute, nothing to catch her… if she fell, it could possibly be the end for her. But at the last minute, she shifted into her wolf form. I had never seen her wolf before it stirred something inside of me that I couldn’t seem to
I swallowed the lump in my throat as the wolf got even closer.Just as she reached the branch I was on and swiped her claws in my direction to throw me off balance. I released the branch I was holding onto and the branch I stood on flung so hard that it smacked her right in the face, knocking her of
