Chapter 149

Judy’s POV

This was probably a stupid plan. I mean, we were all wolf shifters, so Mica and Gavin could probably smell me. I closed my eyes and held my breath as I hid under Gavin’s hotel bed. I felt like a child, playing hide and seek, except I was naked. My clothes were tucked beneath me. I managed to grab them before I slid off the bed and rolled underneath it. I could hear the distinct voices at the doorway, though I wasn’t paying attention to what they were saying.

Gavin soon dismissed Mica, much to my relief. After the door was shut, Gavin waited a few moments. We both heard Alpha Mica’s footsteps retreating and I let out of the breath I had been holding. I still didn’t come out from under the bed though.

Truth be told, I was embarrassed.

This was such a stupid plan. Why did I think breaking into his hotel suite and laying in his bed naked while he wasn’t here was a good idea? I could feel the heat on my cheeks growing with each passing second. I heard Gavin’s footsteps getting closer to the bed and my heart pounded wildly against my ribcage.

Then, he stopped.

I wasn’t sure what he was doing, but I could see that his feet were only inches from me. I kind of hoped he would just go to the bathroom so I could slip out undetected, but I knew I wasn’t that lucky.

“Are you going to stay under there all night?” He asked, his voice deep.

I should have known that he knew I was here this whole time. I felt ridiculous hiding like that.

“Do you think maybe you can go to the bathroom?” I asked him, my voice coming out as a squeak.

“What?” He asked in return.

“I’d like to sneak out,” I whispered, my tone trembling. “But I can’t do that when you’re watching me. Can you just go to the bathroom?”

At this point, I was desperate.

He was quiet for a long while; I thought maybe he would put me out of my misery and go into the bathroom so I could leave and pretend this terrible thing never happened. But when he didn’t make any effort to move, hope started to fade a little. I felt him nearing closer until he was only inches from me, and then he bent, getting a better look at me.

My cheeks burned even more.

“Or you can come out from under the bed,” he suggested, keeping his tone low.

With a pounding heart, I cursed under my breath. As I slid out from under the bed, he grabbed my arm, helping me to untangle myself fully. I hadn’t realized how long I was under there because my body felt all tangled and stiff. His warm hands cupped the smell of my back as I stood to my feet.

I was wildly aware that I was completely naked, and I should have been more embarrassed. Then again, I was a shifter, and nudity wasn’t really a big deal amongst us.

“What are you doing in here?” He asked, his eyes narrowed.

I felt small at that moment like he was a father scolding his child.

“I thought we were meeting tonight,” I admitted, nibbling on my lower lip. “I’m sorry for intruding…”

“I assumed you’d come here after dinner,” he told me, placing my chin between his fingers and pulling my head up so I was looking at him.

I sucked in a sharp breath when I saw the look in his eyes; they were dark and filled with a hunger that sent a shiver throughout my body.

“I wasn’t hungry,” I managed to say, my voice barely audible.

His eyes darkened even more, to the point that they were practically black.

“That’s unfortunate,” he said, stepping closer to me. He ran his fingers down the nape of my neck and across my shoulders. Goosebumps formed across my flesh as his fingers found their way down the sides of my breasts, which hardened from the cold room temperature. Eventually, his hand was around my hip, and he pulled me into him, my naked body against his very clothed body. “Because I’m starving,” he finished his sentence as he took me in, his nostrils flaring.

I ran my fingers up his chest and wrapped them around his neck, pulling him closer to me so I could press his lips against mine, but he pulled back slightly, denying me and hurting my ego a little.

I pouted when I saw the pure amusement in his eyes.

“Not yet,” he said, stepping away from me. “I want to savor you… but also you need to be punished for breaking into my room and hiding from me.”

My cheeks burned as I folded my arms across my chest. I watched him lazily walk around the room as he slowly unbuttoned his shirt, his abs becoming apparent to me with each removed button.

“It wasn’t you I was hiding from,” I told him, my eyes watching him warily.

“Maybe not at first,” he told me, his eyes finding mine. “But after Mica had left, you remained hidden. Why?”

I swallowed the lump in my throat and stared at the ground. That was a mistake because he was closing the gap between us before I could even blink. I looked up at him and saw his wolf flash through his eyes, making me shudder.

“Don’t look away from me,” he said in a low growl; I shivered. “Answer my question. Why did you hide from me?”

“I was embarrassed,” I whispered.

“Why?” He asked, his lips were so close to mine that if he moved just a little closer our lips would be touching. His eyes dropped to my mouth, waiting with bated breath for me to answer.

“Because…” my voice trailed off as his lips delicately brushed mine.

“Because why?” He asked in a hushed whisper, nipping at my bottom lip.

“Because I’m… naked…” I whispered back, peeking up at his dark eyes through my lashes.

He ran his fingers down the sides of my body, pulling me into him. I gasped when he cupped my ass, lifting me up slightly so was rubbing my core against his budge.

“Don’t ever be embarrassed about being naked in my bed,” he said as his lips crashed against mine.

The kiss was anything but sweet; it was filled with a primal need that made my heart race in my chest. He lifted me into his arms and forced my legs around his waist as he deepened the kiss, his tongue tangling with mine.

I couldn’t help the moan that escaped my lips as he scratched his nails down his back. It seemed no matter how physically close to him I was, I couldn’t quite get close enough. I scratched him, needing to be even closer.

We both fell onto the bed, Gavin remained on top of me as he kissed the nape of my neck, his teeth grazing across the softest part of my flesh and making me tremble. He ran his lips down my shoulders and across my chest. My bare breasts were hardening from his touch as goosebumps clung to my flesh.

I arched my back as his teeth tugged at one of my nipples; he played with the other one with his fingers, tugging on it and making shocks of pleasure course through my body. Everywhere he touched became hyper-sensitive. I felt tingles and electricity everywhere in his path. The warmth of his body penetrated mine and it felt as if he was bringing me back to life after I’ve been dead for so long. It felt like taking that first breath of air after I spent a lifetime drowning in the ocean. With every touch, with every contact his skin made with mine, my heart beat a little bit quicker.

Had it always been like this between us? Or was this something that was entirely brand new?

Before we came to this country, before we even knew that we were both going to be here, our relationship had gotten rocky. I didn’t think we were going to continue our sexual relationship when I returned, but here he was… and here I was, entangled with one another as we kissed and touched each other’s bodies.

He lifted his shirt over his head, throwing it to the ground. I checked out in incredible body, running my fingers down his tan ridges, my mouth watering at the sight of him. He was so good-looking that it physically hurt me to look at him. It should be illegal to be this good-looking.

I ran my tongue down his torso, wanting to taste this man. I could taste the salt from his sweat and the sweetness that radiated off him. He quickly undid his pants, pulling them down, along with his underwear. His member was heavy as it was released.

I wrapped my fingers around him, needing to touch him and make him feel exactly how he made me feel.

I licked my lips, eager to satisfy him as he stroked himself in front of my face, teasing me with what he knew I wanted. He placed the tip against my lips, and I kissed it gently, but just as my tongue darted back, he pulled away, his eyes dark as his wolf fought to take control, my own wolf surging forward, eager to get to him just as I was.

I pulled her back, confused by her reaction.

Thankfully, Gavin didn’t seem to notice. He brushed his fingers through my hair, tucking a strand behind my ear.

“Not so fast,” he told me. “I want to see you squirm first.”

He ran his fingers down my chest and cupped my breast, squeezing it playfully and pulling another moan from my lips. He continued to stroke himself and watching him get even bigger was driving me crazy. I wanted to touch him.

I reached my hand up, but he stepped back. I was immediately cold from the lack of nearness, and I pouted without meaning to.

“If you want this, beg for it.”

I blinked and looked up at him.

“What?” I asked, my tone coming out breathy.

He smirked as he placed the tip against my lips again.

“You heard me,” he teased. “Beg.”

I stared at him for a moment longer before a stifled smile made the corner of my lips twitch.

“Please, Gavin… I want it… please give it to me,” I told him in the peppiest-sounding tone I could muster.

I was surprised when he belted out laughing; he didn’t laugh often, but when he did, it made my heart flip in my chest. It was a nice sound, and I wanted to make him laugh more and for longer.

“That’s how you beg?” He asked, raising his brows.

“What do you expect from me?” I replied. “I don’t beg.”

“I suppose you deserve it then,” he said. “Open.”

I opened my mouth without hesitation, and he shoved his member into my mouth.

I swirled my tongue all around his shaft, bringing him further and deeper into my throat. He ran his fingers through my hair, thrusting into me, his cock twitching with satisfaction every time I sucked in. He let out a throaty growl and a deep moan as he closed his eyes, taking in every feeling I was providing him.

He spoke my name in a low tone that sent a shiver throughout my body. I loved the sound of my name off his lips.

When he came undone, it was hard, and it was a lot. I pulled away from him, smiling up as he kissed me deeply, his tongue invading my mouth.

“You should get some sleep,” he told me with a wry smile.

I blinked.

“What?” I asked.

He grinned and pulled me to my feet.

“Welcome to your punishment.”
