Chapter 321

Judy’s POV

Gavin smirked as he lowered his lips to my neck, fanning his breath and gentle kisses against my skin. I couldn’t help the small moan that escaped my lips as I melted into him. But I was aware of what he was doing, so I put my hands on his chest and gave him a gentle push.

“I’m serious, Gavin,” I said, staring up at him. “It’s kind of odd that the Cash family is suddenly moving. What did you say to them?”

“What makes you think I said anything?” He asked, pulling me closer to him.

The corner of my lips tipped up into a smile.

“Because I know you and I can feel your emotions,” I told him.

I moved the hair away from my neck; I’ve been keeping my hair down since yesterday so Irene wouldn’t see the mark on my neck, just like Gavin wore a turtle neck for the same reason.

“Are you forgetting we are bonded now?” I asked him, raising my brows.

His eyes found my mark, and his expression softened. He lowered himself to me, pressing a gentle kiss to the mark.

“I could never forget,” he murmured against my skin. He pulled away for a moment so he could look into my eyes. “I banished them.”

My eyes grew wide.

“You did what?” I gasped.

“I banished them,” he repeated. “They’ve caused enough issues for my territory, and I won’t tolerate it anymore.”

“So, they are rogues now?” I asked, my eyes wide. I couldn’t even imagine the Cash family becoming rogues.

“Either that or they’ll follow Ethan to Levi’s territory and pledge their allegiance to him. If Levi has them, most don’t want wolves that were marked as rogues, but because of the circumstances, he might take them.”

I nodded as I processed that information; it was a lot to take in and completely unexpected. Truth be told, I thought they’d always be around to cause mayhem in their path.

“I would have done it sooner, but I had no real grounds,” he told me, tucking a strand of hair behind my ear. “Insulting and disrespecting their Luna is grounds for banishment.”

I leaned into him, loving his closeness. My wolf was purring with happiness, having had a mate again. The mate bond we once shared with Ethan was long forgotten, and all that was left was a promising future ahead with the love of my life.

“What are you thinking about?” He asked, cocking his head to the side as he gazed down at me. His eyes shone with a mix of love and curiosity, and maybe a little longing.

“I’m just thinking how lucky I am,” I told him honestly. “When I officially met you almost 2 years ago, I never thought my life would turn out this way. I never thought my heart could feel so full after it’s been destroyed by another. You put my heart back together… You put me back together, and because of that, I’m going to be forever thankful to you. You’ve given me the life I never thought I could have. I wear your mark proudly on my neck, and I can’t wait for the world to know about us.”

He smiled down at me, the curiosity gone and replaced with extra love and compassion.

“And they’ll know about us soon enough,” he assured me. “But first, I want us to tell Irene and Matt. I was thinking of doing it over lunch this afternoon. And then tonight, we have plans to have a welcome home party for you. I thought we could tell everyone else officially?”

I nibbled on my lip and nodded.

“Yes, I would love that,” I told him.

“Good,” he said with a grin. “I’ll have an outfit for the evening sent to you later. Typically, I would have you go shopping with the stylist, but I’d like to spend as much time with you as possible today before we go to lunch with my kids.”

I smiled at him, knowing better than to argue.

“Okay,” I tell him. “So, we have a few hours before lunch.” I wrap my arms around his neck and pull myself closer. “What do you want to do to kill some time?”

He wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me flush against him as he lowered his lips to mine, tasting me. He hummed in the kiss, fusing his lips to mine as he deepened the kiss. His tongue slipped between my lips and tangled with mine, both our tongues fighting for dominance as we took our fill of one another.

He lifted me up and placed me on the counter, the motion making me gasp. His lips never left mine, though, and when I gasped, he sucked my tongue into his mouth. I ran my fingers through his hair, loving how he shudders from my touch.

He nipped at my bottom lip, drawing it into his mouth and sucking on it like it’s the sweetest piece of candy. I couldn’t help but moan into his mouth; I knew I was soaking wet even before he slid his fingers beneath his shirt that covered my body. His delicate touch sent goosebumps along my flesh as his fingers danced up the softness of my leg until they were at my panties. I wore a black thong that I knew would drive him crazy if I were to have him this morning.

He let out a low growl, his fingers looping the delicate fabric. Before I knew what was happening, the thong was ripped off my body in one motion and thrown across the kitchen.

I gasped as I broke the kiss, looking into his dark and lust-filled eyes.

“Hey, that was my favorite thong,” I protested, slightly wounded that he tore my underwear without my permission.

“I’ll buy you a thousand more,” he said as his lips trailed along the nape of my neck. He peppered a soft kiss right where he had marked me, and then he sucked the sensitive skin into his mouth, making me shiver.

His fingers dipped between my folds, making me moan from the sudden contact.

“So, wet for me already, “he groaned into my ear, nipping at my lip as he brought his lips back to mine. He kissed me deeply as his thumb found the bundle of nerves that would ultimately make me come undone.

He grinned at my kiss, loving my reaction to him. This man was going to be the death of me. Having Gavin’s fingers playing with me while we were in the kitchen of his mansion, when his staff could appear at any moment, was hot, and it sent a sudden thrill through me that I didn’t expect.

He teased my entrance with his fingers while his thumb continued to stimulate my clit gently, not hard enough to make me cum, but just enough to keep me panting with need.

“Tell me who you belong to,” he murmured against my lips.

I moaned, frustrated because I wanted to come undone so badly. I wanted him so badly, but it felt like he was just out of reach.

“Gavin…” I pleaded, my voice nothing more than a whimper. “Please…”

“Tell me who you belong to and I’ll give you exactly what you want,” he said, nipping at my sensitive flesh along my neck.

“You…” I breathed out. My body was so wound up, I was afraid I would burst at any sudden touch. “I belong to you, Gavin Landry.”

His name came out as a scream as his fingers plunged deep inside of me, his hand already coated in my juices as he stroked my G-spot, finding it with expert speed like he knew my body better than I did. He knew exactly what I needed and where I needed it.

Before I knew it, I was coming undone almost violently on the counter, gasping out his name as my body was wracked with tremors.

“So, fucking beautiful… so perfect,” he said, his lips finding mine in a sweet kiss as his fingers continued to tease me slowly and gently until my body finally stopped trembling. When he pulled his hand away, I saw that it was glistening with my juices.

My eyes darkened when he brought it to his lips and tasted his fingers, his eyes practically rolling in the back of his head as he groaned.

“It’s so delicious,” he murmured, as he continued to taste me on his lips.

Watching him was the hottest thing I’ve ever seen in my life.

He brought his hand to my lips, willing me to taste myself on his fingers. I wrapped my lips around his fingers, tasting myself. His eyes darkened even more at the sight, and I felt myself getting turned on again, despite having already come undone.

I wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled myself off the counter, forcing me to wrap my legs around his waist and hold onto him for dear life.

“Gavin!” I shrieked, a laugh bubbling out of me.

He nipped at my neck, right where his mark sat, and the laugh died on my lips, turning into a breathy moan.

“I’m not done with you yet,” he murmured against my skin.

“We have… we have lunch with your kids…” I whispered, my voice coming out almost raspy as I suppressed my moans. I knew we still had a couple of hours, but we still needed to pick the place and then get dressed. That would take some time, and I really wanted to get this over with.

I was worried about how Irene would react when we told her that we had another and are expecting a baby.

Would she be happy?

Or would she think it’s weird because we are the same age? This wasn’t something that I thought would happen, but it was happening, and I didn’t want Irene to object to any of it. I knew it would gut Gavin to not have his daughters' support.

As I tried to think about that, Gavin’s touch and kisses brought me back to the present moment, making it hard for that memory to resurface and ruin the moment.

“I guess we'd better be fast then.”
