Chapter 0145
She wrapped her legs around his waist as he deepened the kiss. He nibbled on her bottom lip.
“Let’s get out of here,” he murmured against her.
She nodded and Ethan called one of his subordinates to come pick them up because he was far too drunk to drive. He took her back to his house and they had sex all night long.
Judy’s POV
Pain coursed through my entire body starting with the mark on my neck. My body trembled violently, and tears streamed down my cheeks. I Irad felt pain starting in my neck before, whenever Ethan kissed Irene, but it was never anything like this.
This was a whole new level of pain that I wasn’t used to and I never wanted to feel again. My entire body felt as if it was being electrocuted. My wolf was howling in despair, and I couldn’t get the noise out of my
ears.
Gavin ran out of the bathroom with a warm cloth; me waking up screaming scared him, and he rushed to the bathroom right away. The loss of contact from his warm body made it all feel worse but once he returned, I felt a little of the tension and pain subsiding.
“It’s okay,” he breathed, placing the warm cloth over my head. I reached up and grabbed his shoulders, pulling him into me. I needed him close; for whatever reason, his body made the pain more bearable.” Ssshhh…” he breathed, kissing the top of my head as his arms wrapped around me.
“It hurts…” I whimpered, my fingers trembling as I scratched at my neck.
‘Stop doing that,” he said through his teeth, grabbing at my hand as he replaced it with the warm cloth. “You’ll hurt yourself even more.”
“I don’t understand what’s happening…” I said as tears flowed evenly down my cheeks. “I’ve never felt pain like this before… only when Ethan kisses Irene… but it’s never been this bad.”
He was quiet for a moment, and I could tell he was thinking intently about something.
“Do you think they could be doing more than kissing? Gavin finally asked after a long silence.
I sucked in a sharp intake of breath; could that be what’s wrong? Could Ethan and Irene be having sex and that’s why I was facing this severe pain coming from the mark on my neck?
I could hear my wolf whimpering at the very thought. My body continued to tremble in Gavin’s arms, and he held me even tighter.
“Just take a deep breath…” he whispered. “You’re going to be okay. I’ve got you.”
His words lulled me enough to relax and I felt the pain subsiding just a little more. He dabbed at my neck with the warm cloth as his lips covered mine, taking my bottom lip into his mouth. It was like medicine and suddenly, the pain wasn’t there at all. I melted into his kiss, needing more of him because for some reason, he took the pain away.
He ran his fingers through my hair, massaging my scalp and sending a warm wave of chills down my spine, making goosebumps form on my flesh. When he pulled away, the ache in my neck returned, but it wasn’t as severe as it once was. I was left breathless, and my face was flushed from the heat. He smiled down at me as he kissed the bridge of my nose.
‘Any better?” He asked, a smug look on his face.
“A little,” I murmured.
“Good,” he said, kissing my lips once more. “Hold this to your neck. I’ll mindlink Taylor and ask him if Irene returned last night.”
I nodded, still feeling dazed as I firmly held the warm cloth to my neck. The moment his arms were no longer around me, the pain returned, and I couldn’t help but scream in agony. I could see the look of remorse crossing his face just before his eyes glazed over. I knew that meant he was mindlinking his
beta.
His frown deepened and I nearly blacked out from the pain until his arms were wrapped around me again. The pain began to subside, and I felt myself releasing the breath I had been holding
“That’s strange…” he said softly.
It was very strange that his touch made the pain go away, so I nodded and looked up at him.
“Very…” I agreed.
He blinked a few times and looked down at me.
“What? No, I mean it’s strange that Irene returned home hours ago. She’s been sleeping in her room. No one saw Ethan returning with her,” he told me.
My heart sank. Then if Ethan wasn’t having sex with Irene right now… what the hell was he doing??
Was he having sex with another woman?!
