Chapter 0288
Gavin’s POV
I didn’t bother returning to the dinner. I didn’t need to deal with Levi and his shit. He made me lose my cool in front of everybody and now they were going to see me as a monster. That wasn’t something I wanted to deal with right now.
During the dinner, I sent a text to Beta Taylor, asking him to find out if Judy was actually competing. He sent me a digital copy of the competitors and sure enough, Judy was amongst them. I clenched my fists; how could she not tell me something as important as this? 1
How did she even get here? Did she take a commercial plane? I had my private plane, I could have brought her here..
And did she come here herself?
Or was a friend with her?
Would she be stupid enough to travel to a different country completely by herself? I had a lot of questions I needed answered and I wasn’t going to be able to rest until I got these answers. I took a long walk, and my Gamma, Derek, trailed me but tried not to make it obvious. He was good at hiding in the shadows and only being seen when
needed.
I returned to my hotel suite and got undressed. I put on a pair of sweatpants and a T–shirt. Derek went to his own room; I wanted my privacy, so I got us each our own rooms. I dismissed him for the night telling him I could handle myself.
I was still reeling from the dinner party. The thought of that jackass touching Judy; he was sitting way too close to her and kept whispering in her ear. What the fuck was he saying to her to make her blush?
There was a soft knock on the door.
I glanced at the time and saw that it was just after 9 pm. I had been so lost in thought that I wasn’t paying attention to the time. I went to the door and pulled it open, saw Judy starting to walk away. Her head was down and her face was red like an apple. She was leaving, not wanting me to know that she tried to knock. It was soft enough that she probably thought I didn’t hear it, but I had Lycan hearing so it seemed louder to me.
Before she even noticed I opened the door, I grabbed her arm and pulled her into the room, slamming the door behind us. She gasped and fell into me as I wrapped my arms around her, holding her as tightly as I could without crushing her.
“Where did you think you were going?” I asked her.
She relaxed as I continued to hold her.
“1… I thought maybe you’d be sleeping,” she told me, her voice coming out as a breathy whisper.
“Don’t lie to me, Judy,” I whispered as my lips brushed across her upper cheek.
She let out the breath she had been holding before she peeked up at me through her lashes. She parted her lips to say something, but I didn’t give her the chance. I closed the gap between us, kissing her hungrily and deeply until she was nothing but a puddle in my arms. I deepened the kiss even more, shoving my tongue into her mouth and tasting everything she had to offer. Something about her made me feel feral. She ran her fingers up my body, taking my shirt off in the process. I tossed the shirt to the ground and pulled her closer to me, my hands firmly gripping her hips, thrusting my groin against her as we made our way to the bed. She was still wearing that sexy little black dress that made me want to rip it off her body, but I didn’t want to destroy her dress when these dinner parties were important to her.
I slowly undid the zipper of her dress, letting it fall to the ground as I lifted her up and onto the bed. Our lips never broke apart from one another; this time, it was different. It was slower, more intimate feeling, and less feral.
I used my
teeth to pull down the straps of her bra, making her tremble from my touch. I pulled her bra down until her breasts sprang free from their hold. Her nipples were hard and begging for me to touch them; small goosebumps lined the sides of her breasts as I ran my fingers across them, tugging at her nipples in the process. and making them even harder. I smiled at the effect I had on her body.
