Chapter 155
Gavin’s POV
I paced my room; I had just finished showering, and I was wearing only boxers. I ran my fingers through my soaked hair, watching as water droplets landed on the ground. Anger was festering in my chest, and my wolf was itching to get out and go for a run, but I held him back because the way he was right now was unstable. I worried he might do if I were to set him free at the moment.
I couldn’t get Mica’s words out of my head; she was free to move on to the next round. In hindsight, I should have been happy for her. That was what she was here for, right? But I couldn’t bring myself to be happy. She was moving onto the death matches… if she were stubborn enough, which I know she is, she could end up dead before this coemption is over.
There was a faint knock on the door, and I froze, glaring at the door. I knew it was Judy before I even opened it. I grabbed the handle and pulled it open, almost pulling the door right off its hinges in the process. She stood before me, her eyes fixed on the ground and her cheeks blazing red.
She wore a black lacy nightgown, and it made me wonder if she wore it just for me. Her hair was pulled back out of her face, though a couple of strands fell over her face, giving her head a bedhead look to it.
My cock twitched at the sight of her, and I wanted to pull her into the room and have my way with her until the sun came up. But I held back because this wasn’t about sex. I needed her to know that I didn’t think it was a good idea for her to move on to the next round. I wanted her to go home.
I stepped aside, waiting for her to enter the room without saying anything. Once she was secured in the room, I shut the door behind her and locked it. She flinched as the lock engaged and I frowned even deeper at her.
Was she afraid of me suddenly?
She kept her back, turned towards me, and her eyes on the ground as I assessed her body. She was walking normally, which meant her wolf had healed her even more since earlier.
I stepped around her until I was in front of her, and I narrowed my eyes at her. She still refused to look at me and for a moment, if let like I was a father about to scold my daughter. I cringed at the very thought and allowed my body to relax.
“I think you should go home,” I finally said, my voice losing its edge and sounding defeated… almost weak.
She finally looked up at me, her eyes wide as she studied my face, trying to find any hint of humor like I wasn’t serious. I rolled my eyes at her face and folded my arms across my chest, giving me an even more of a “dad” look. I immediately unfolded my arms and clenched my fists at my sides.
“What do you mean?” she asked, narrowing her eyes at me.
“Next week is a death match, Judy. You aren’t in any shape to compete,” I told her.
“The doctors cleared me, I’m fine,” she said, her brows pinching together. “Even Alpha Jeremy said I was fine to compete next week. I’ll be healed by tomorrow.”
“It’s too dangerous,” I said, my jaw clenching. “You could have died today. Next week will be worse because they will actually be trying to kill you.”
She scoffed at my words.
“Thanks for the boost of confidence,” she murmured. “Look, I’ve been cleared, and I’ve been chosen. That’s not an opportunity I’m going to pass, Alpha.”
She turned away from me but before she could take a step towards the door, I stepped around her, blocking her way.
I let out a growl, my wolf threatening to take charge. She stared at me with wide eyes until I managed to pull the reins on my wolf.
“Do you want to get yourself killed?” I seethed.
“Why do you even care?” She blurted. “Last week you barely even knew I existed. Do you know how many times you’ve blown me off? I’ve tried to tell you about this competition for the past week and I couldn’t because you were never around. Do you have any idea how that made me feel?”
I stared at her, dumbfounded.
I could feel my anger calming as I stared at her pinkening cheeks.
Her words resonated with me and washed over me like a freight train. She wiped at her cheeks angrily as some stray tears escaped her eyes. She was angry and now she was trying hard not to look at me as she pressed her lips into a thin line and desperately tried to keep herself from bolting out of the room.
“You think I don’t care about you?” I asked, my voice lowering to almost a whisper, slicing through the silence that started to consume us.
Her avoiding my eyes and not replying made something inside of me snap.
Before I knew it, I was pressing her against the wall, pinning her between the wall and my body, and my lips covered hers, sucking them into my mouth and licking at the seams until they parted for me.
Her body responded to me almost immiedalty and she was soon molding against me, opening herself and allowing me to deepen the kiss. Our bodies were radiating heat as I lifted her into my arms; her legs instinctively went around my waist, holding herself against my body.
I felt the heat of her core pressing against my abs as she ground her hips against me, begging for that release. A breathy moan escaped her lips, and she gasped when she felt my erection through my pants, pressing into her.
I ran my lips down the nape of her neck, already missing the warmth of her lips. She whimpered as I nipped at the soft area between her shoulder and neckline; goosebumps trailed along her flesh as I kissed down her bare shoulders, bringing the strap of her nightgown down with me. She pulled her arms around the strap allowing me to pull her nightgown down even more. Her breasts, exposed before me, were hardening as the cool air of the AC attacked them. Her nipples pebbled before I could even get them into my mouth.
She gasped as I twirled my tongue around her nipples, teasing and tugging them with my teeth. She ran her fingers through my hair, pulling at them as I brought her more pleasure with my mouth. She let out another moan, bucking her hips even more as I squeezed her other breast with my hand before giving it the same mouth treatment.
“Gavn…” she whispered. “I need you…” she gasped out.
I could smell her arousal, and it made a smirk twitch at the corner of my lips. I brought one hand down to my pants and tugged them down slightly so my erection could fly freely. Then I brought my hand back to her waist, holding her against the wall as I used my other hand to slide her panties to the side slightly.
In one quick motion, I was thrusting inside of her, growling and moaning at the familiar warm feeling. Her core expanded and formed around me like a glove, melding together and sucking me even deeper inside of her. No matter how close I was to her, I couldn’t seem to get closer. She let out a soft whimper, but her eyes showed nothing but pleasure and lust as I thrust even deeper and harder into her, allowing me to swallow me whole.
Her back banged against the wall, and I brought my lips back to her, kissing her breathlessly.
I walked with her over to the bed, keeping myself inside of her. Laying her on the bed, I kissed down her neck, quickening my speed, watching as she squirmed and listening to the sound of my name spilling from her swollen lips.
I knew she was close to the peak when I felt her clenching around me, sucking me even deeper and her legs trembling with a primal need. I felt myself swelling inside of her and I breathed out her name, nibbling on her earlobe and making sure she could hear every single letter in her name as I came undone inside of her, blasting my seed and coating her walls. I felt her wetness as she joined me over the edge, her body wracked with sweat and trembling from the aftershock of our joined orgasm.
She fell into my arms, keeping us linked together as I held her. Our breathing was in unison, and her heartbeats banged to mold into one melody, one that neither of us could understand.
After a moment, I reached up and brushed a strand of damp hair out of her face. Her eyes were closed, but I knew she was still awake. I kissed her forehead and turned over, still holding her, but facing my side as her face buried in my chest.
I let my words wash over her as I spoke to her ear, pressing my lips as close to her skin as possible.
“You better not die.”
