Chapter 373

Gavin’s POV

Judy not sleeping beside me made it difficult to sleep. I knew she was only a hotel room away, and she was with her friends, all there to support my daughter, but still, I would be lying if I said I didn’t miss her like fucking crazy. Not that I didn’t have a good night myself; I spent time with Chester, Erik, and Matthew.

Taylor and Eliza went to the packhouse for dinner, and then they crashed fairly early, wanting to spend some time together. They work so much that they never get to have a vacation, so I didn’t blame them for wanting to spend the night together. But the thought of them getting this time to be with one another fills me with jealousy like no other.

I want that time with Judy. I know I get her every day and will for the rest of my life, but I could never have enough time with her.

The door of the room creaked open, and I lifted my head, my eyes narrowed at the sudden intruder. At first, I thought maybe Matthew was having a nightmare or something; he was known to have had nightmares in the past since finding out Irene triggered his allergic reaction on purpose last year. But over the last month or so, the nightmares seem to be getting better, especially since Judy officially moved into the villa.

But when I didn’t see Matthew standing there, my heart stuttered.

Judy.

She stood timidly in the doorway, wearing her sleep shorts and a tank top. Her hair was slightly a mess from sleep, and her cheeks flushed as she worried about her bottom lip. I thought I must be dreaming. My self-consciousness brought her to me in my sleep because I couldn’t stop thinking about her.

“I must be dreaming,” I murmured my thoughts out loud.

She smiled, a bit shyly, which was cute as fuck.

Shutting the door behind her, she padded towards me and climbed into the bed. Her scent made my mouth water, and my wolf perked up in immediate attention. Her nearness made my cock twitch.

A pain hit my side, making me yelp in surprise.

“Ouch,” I said, rubbing the tender spot her nail had dug in. “The fuck…”

“Not dreaming,” she said with a grin.

I blinked a few times, my eyes finally registering what they were seeing, and my brain catching up to the reality of the situation. I wasn’t dreaming. My mate had come back to me in the middle of the night. I glanced at the clock on the nightstand with a frown.

It was 2 am.

I had no idea it had gotten so late.

“What are you doing here so late? Aren’t you having your girls’ night sleepover?”

She snuggled against me, and I couldn’t help but breathe her in as I wrapped my arms around her. Now that she was here, with me, I had no intention of letting her go back to her girls’ night sleepover.

“I couldn’t sleep,” she admitted.

I could hear the emotion in her voice, and I knew something was wrong that kept her awake. Something more than just missing me.

“What happened?”

She peeked up at me through her lashes.

“I just wanted to see you,” she whispered. “I don’t like spending nights away from you.”

I knew there was more to it, but I didn’t push her. I wrapped her tighter in my arms and nuzzled my face against the nape of her neck, inhaling her scent deeply, letting it relax my body.

“I love you,” I whispered against her, smiling as I felt her melting against me.

“I love you too.”

I nipped at her bottom lip, allowing my hands to cross her body along the swell of her belly. She was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen in my life; my heart only beat for her, and I wanted to show her just how much she meant to me.

I rolled on top of her, careful not to put too much pressure on her stomach, not wanting to hurt her or our baby. I deepened the kiss, my tongue dipping between her lips, tasting what was mine. She let out a breathy moan as my fingers slipped beneath the hem of her tank top. I slowly raised it over her head, revealing her gorgeous breasts to me.

She looked up at me through hooded eyes, and I could see the lust-filled expression she gave me. She swallowed as my lips crashed into hers again, and I swallowed more of her moans.

I broke the kiss from her mouth and trailed my lips down the nape of her neck, sucking the mark I left on her, creating a fresh one to satisfy my wolf’s need to claim her mind, body, and soul.

Her hands traveled down my naked torso, appreciating my abs and the fact that I was only wearing boxers. I heard the satisfied groan deep in her throat and the light purring of her wolf, which made me smile as I continued to nip and suck on her neck and shoulders. Her fingers slipped beneath my waistband, and I moved slightly to give her better access, knowing she wanted my boxers off just as badly as I wanted all her clothes off, too.

But then she stopped, her fingers froze, and the look of worry was clear on her face. The hesitation made me pause my exploration of her body as well, and I looked at her with concern.

“What is it?” I asked, my brows furrowing.

“It’s just… we hadn’t had sex in a while,” she said, nibbling her lower lip. “I was starting to think that maybe you weren’t attracted to me anymore.”

My eyes widened at the sudden realization. It’s not that I didn’t want to make love to my mate and future wife, we’ve just been so busy lately, and every time we tried to be intimate, we’d get interrupted. I had been just as frustrated as she was, and I hated that she was feeling as though I didn’t find her attractive anymore. I knew it had to do with the fact that she was pregnant.

She was self-conscious about her newly formed body, and I would be damned if I allowed her to think she was anything other than perfection.

I rolled onto my back, taking her with me, forcing her to straddle me so I could get a better view of her. Judy’s cheeks were flushed as I moved my hips, allowing her to feel exactly what she does to me. As soon as she felt my hard and very needy erection between her legs, she closed her eyes and whimpered softly.

She was desperate for me just as I was for her.

“You are the most beautiful thing I have ever laid eyes on,” I told her, my grip on her hips tightening. “Don’t ever doubt how much I want you.”

“Take this off, Gavin,” she said, tugging at my boxers. “Please.”

I loved the sound of her begging; it made me grin.

“As you wish, my love,” I said, lifting my hips so she could tug my boxers down my legs. I kicked them off once they were low enough, and my erection was free… hard and prominent against my belly, but free.

She wrapped her fingers around my cock, rubbing her thumb across the tip and using the precum as lube.

“Fuck,” I hissed, my eyes rolling back in my head at the feel of her hands wrapped around me. “That feels amazing.”

She smiled as she bent down, her lips wrapping around the head of my erection, sucking and teasing me with her tongue, tasting me… tasting what was hers. I let out a guttural groan.

Judy took me in deeper, my cock hitting the back of her throat. She swallowed me down expertly; the warmth of her mouth and the softness of her tongue were almost too much for me to handle. I thought I was going to bust until she pulled back, releasing me with a pop.

I looked at her with hooded eyes, unsure of what she was doing. But before I could protest, she pulled her sleep shorts down. She wasn’t wearing any underwear, and the scent of her arousal hit me like a freight train, making my wolf howl in the back of my head. She was incredible, and I wanted to taste her so bad. But she didn’t give me the chance before she was positioning my cock at her entrance and sinking down on top of me.

“Fuck,” I said again, my voice nothing more than a raspy whisper. My hold on her hips tightening into a bruising hold… I was certain I would leave marks on her.

She lifted up and down, her eyes closing as she moved her hips, grinding herself against me and chasing her own pleasure as well as giving me mine. I could feel the intensity of my orgasm building, and I knew she was close too. She was so incredibly wet and warm. Her breathing grew heavier, and another moan escaped her as she continued to quicken her pace. Her breasts, which were becoming larger, bounced in front of my face, and I couldn’t help but capture one of her sensitive nipples in my mouth.

She ran her fingers through my hair, and I felt her core clench. She let out a gasp as an orgasm consumed her. As always, it was enough to trigger mine. I paused my movements, my hands tightening around her to keep her still as I exploded inside of my mate, marking her, once again, as mine.

When she collapsed on top of me, I peppered kisses along her face and neck, murmuring how much I loved her and how much I needed her.

We made love a few more times before we both finally fell asleep from exhaustion.
