Chapter 62

Judy’s POV

I could feel my cheek swelling from the force and the cut in my lip dripping with blood. The moment he saw the blood on my face, I could see the horror in his eyes. He released me quickly and stepped back, holding up his hands.

The motion of him holding up his hands though caused me to flinch, which caused hurt to flash in his eyes.

“Judy… I’m—”

“Don’t touch me,” I said through my teeth, my voice coming out unfamiliar.

“I’m… I’m so sorry…” he said, covering his face with his hands. “I didn’t mean to hurt you…”

“Just leave…” I said, desperate to hold back these tears until he was gone.

He didn’t keep me waiting long, he said nothing more as he turned and ran from me. The moment he was out of sight, I let myself crumble. Tears flowed down my cheeks, stinging the wound on my lip. I touched my swollen cheek with my fingertips and winced. Thankfully, there were no witnesses, but I wasn’t going to stick around long enough for anyone to come outside and see my situation.

I quickly hurried from the back patio. I didn’t bother going back inside; I thought about saying goodbye to Irene, but the moment she saw my face, she would be questioning me, and I couldn’t answer those questions right now. My entire body was trembling as I made my way around the front of the building.

Walter was my ride and there was no way in hell I was going to find him and have him bring me home. I reached into my purse and grabbed my phone. I was about to call for an Uber but then I heard my name and my entire body froze.

“Judy?”

I knew that voice as if it were my own and I was dreading facing him right now. I couldn’t seem to keep the tears from flowing down my cheeks. I kept my back towards him, not wanting him to see me weak like this. I heard the car door opening and then shutting; soon, I was engulfed in the familiar scent as I felt his hands on my shoulders.

Electricity pulsated through my flesh from his touch, and I hated that I was drawn to him like this.

“What happened?” Gavin asked, his dark tone brewing. He knew I was upset without even looking at me; how did he know?

When only the sounds of my sniffles could be heard, he forcibly turned me around. The concern in his eyes turned into shock when he saw my face. As his eyes scanned my swollen cheek and the cut on my lip, I saw the fury in his gaze.

“Who did this to you?” He asked through his teeth.

“It doesn’t matter,” I murmured, wiping the tears off my cheeks. “I just want to go home.”

“Was it my nephew?” He asked, ignoring my request to go home.

When I didn’t answer, he let out a low growl. He already knew the answer without me having to say it. He grabbed my chin gently and moved my head upward, so my eyes were fixed on his.

“I will never let him hurt you again,” he said slowly, making sure I caught every word he spoke. I stared into his eyes for what felt like a long while before I nodded.

Then his lips slowly closed the distance, and he kissed me gently; my heart immediately skipped a beat, and my wolf was on her toes. His kiss was everything…and yet so familiar. It was at that moment I realized; he was the man I kissed inside. I suppose if he were to have his mask on still, he would resemble Walter. It was the family resemblance, and I felt foolish to not have realized that sooner. My heart was racing as his tongue slipped out of his mouth and glided across my bottom lip, asking for permission to enter.

Permission that I granted by parting my lips for him. He wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me into him, kissing me as if his entire life depended on it. The pain in my cheek and my lip slowly faded and I couldn’t tell if it was him who was healing me, or my wolf, but regardless, I didn’t want him to stop.

I wanted… no… I needed more of him.

Gavin’s POV

After kissing Judy on the dance floor, I went to the host of the Gala and gave her my contribution check before saying goodbye and leaving. I didn’t want to be there any longer; especially after watching Judy leaving with Walter, hand-in-hand.

My driver had already left, not expecting that I would be ready to leave so soon, but I knew Taylor was around the corner and would get there faster than my driver, so I called him and had him pick me up instead.

It didn’t take long for Taylor to get there and he knew better than to ask me any questions right now. Just as we were about to leave, I saw Judy walking down the street from the back patio with her arms wrapped around her trembling body and it looked as if she’s been crying.

I knew at that moment that I wasn’t going anywhere without her.

But the second I saw her swollen cheek and the cut on her lip, I was seeing fucking red. Family or not, my nephew was going to die for what he did to her.

Kissing her wasn’t part of the plan, but it certainly calmed both me and my wolf down. The moment I kissed her, I knew stopping was going to be almost impossible. At first, I tasted the blood on her lip, but then her wound started to close, and I wondered if it was her wolf that was healing her, or me…

I pulled her into me even closer, feeling every curve of her body pressed against mine. I pulled her towards the car, not letting my lips wander from hers until we reached the front door of the car, and I knocked on it, forcing Taylor to roll down his window.

I reluctantly broke the kiss to look at Taylor’s smug face. Judy was breathless and her lips were no longer swollen from the wound but swollen from my kiss.

“Get out,” I told him. “Wait out here.”

“Yes, sir,” Taylor said with a sparkle of humor in his eyes as he rolled up the window and then stepped out of the car. The second he was out of the car and the door was shut, I opened the back door and gently helped Judy into the backseat.

She lay on her back, waiting for me to join her. I slowly crawled across her body, shutting the door behind me. She was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen; her dress hugged her figure perfectly and my wolf was practically feral, wanting her out of that dress and naked in my arms. I kissed along the nape of her neck, and she gasped at the sensation, I sucked on the soft spot where her neck met her shoulder, and a soft moan escaped her lips as she ran her fingers through my hair. Her fingertips felt good brushing across my scalp, and I felt a shiver running across my spine.

I slowly pulled down the straps of her dress, pulling until her incredible breasts were on display. Her nipples were hard and begging for me to touch them. She let out a breathy gasp as my tongue twirled around one of her nipples, sucking it into my mouth and teasing her until she was panting with need.

“Gavin…” she gasped.

Warmth spread across her body, practically radiating off her and warming me in return. A smile crept along my lips; I loved the effect I had on her and I wondered what else I could do to make her react in this way. I tugged her nipple with my teeth, making her whimper and arch her back. I could smell her desires pooling between her legs and it caused my wolf to growl hungrily.

I trailed my lips down her body, kissing her above her dress until I reached the bottom layer of her dress. I used my hands to gently push her dress up and my eyes darkened when I saw the black silk panties she was wearing.

Was she wearing these for Walter?

The thought pissed me off and I had to bite back a growl.

I was going to make her forget Walter's name; the only name I wanted on her lips was mine.

I pushed her panties aside, revealing her most sensitive spot. She looked and smelled so good that my mouth was practically watering. Without warning, I devoured her. She yelled out my name and it felt so good to hear it coming out of her mouth. She tasted just as good as she smelled, and my cock twitched with need.

I sucked her clit into my mouth and teased her until she could no longer take it. As she came undone, she yelled out my name, but I didn’t relent until she was practically paralyzed from the pleasure.

I gave her clit one last kiss before I brought my lips back to hers, kissing her with everything I had inside of me, and shoving my tongue deep into her mouth so she could taste herself on me. She kissed me hungrily, nipping at my bottom lip and chuckling when I nipped at her now fully healed bottom lip.

She ran her fingers down my body, exploring my abs through my shirt and a small smile tipped the corner of her lips showing that she liked what she was feeling. I helped her out by undoing my belt and unzipping my pants so she could have easier access to me. It didn’t take her long to get my manhood out of my pants and firmly in her hands.

Her touch was electrifying, and I nearly combusted on the spot.

I kissed her as she stroked me, rubbing her fingers across the tip and then down my shaft, making me moan like never before.

“I need to be inside of you,” I whispered against her lips.

Her eyes sparkled to life as she nodded.

“Take me…” she whispered.

“Tell me you are mine…” I begged, not recognizing the hoarseness of my voice, or understanding where these words were coming from. “Tell me…”

She looked at me for a moment, the heat in her eyes intensifying before she closed the distance and kissed me deeply just before I heard her breathy whisper.

“I’m yours.”
