Chapter 223
Judys POV By the time we finished our training , the sun was alreatly setting .
I was exhausted and I wanted to return to the mansion where I could finally spend some time with Gavin .
I was craving his touch and hadnt realized how much I craved him until I felt his fingers on my arm earlier today .
My cheeks burned at the memory and a small smile tugged at the corner of my lips .
What are you smiling at ? Gavin asked as I walked around the corner .
I froze when I saw him leaning against the wall of the corridor , his arms folded casually across his chest .
Just thinking , I teased as I started to walk past him wanted to go to the bathroom , but his hand .
around my wrist stopped me and soon , I was spinning around to face him just before he took me and pressed me against the wall .
My body flared to life from his nearness and my breath hitched in my throat .
He was lucky we were completely alone right now because if anyone were to see us , it would only feed the rumor mill .
What were you thinking about ? He asked , a smirk on his lips .
My heart was pounding in my chest as I looked up at him .
Wouldnt you like to know , I said , winking at him .
Lattempted to wiggle out from against him , but he had me pinned between the wall and his body .
His lips found mine before I could utter a single word , and / my entire body lit up to life .
He tasted so sweet , and his kiss was way gentler than thought it would have been .
His lips moved perfectly against mine and his tongue slid out to taste my bottom lip , asking permission to enter my mouth .
Permission that I gladly gave him .
I found myself moaning softly against his lips , wanting to deepen the embrace .
I wrapped my arms around his neck and ran my fingers through his hair , massaging his scalp lovingly , Skylas words continued to play in my mind ; he deserves someone who would stick by him no matter what .
Someone who would never let him go .
Was that someone me ? Was I ready to commit myself to another man after I was hurt by my mate so badly ? How did I know that Gavin wouldnt hurt me in the same way that Ethan had ? Was that something Gavin would even want ? Did he want a true relationship with me ? I had so many questions in my mind , but the only thing I truly wanted right now was his lips on mine .
He lifted me up and my legs instinctively wrapped around his waist .
He ran his fingers up my bare back beneath my shirt as he started to walk us towards the bathroom .
But then the sounds of falling and screaming were like dumping cold water on whatever was about to happen .
Gavin dropped me to the ground before I could get the chance to comprehend what had happened .
My back hit the ground with a thud , and I winced in pain , cursing softly as he ran from the corridor and towards the main foyer .
I knew my tailbone was going to bruise .
I struggled to get to my feet .
I hadnt realized that I hurt my leg during that fall until I attempted to walk , and pain shat up my spine .
I hissed and grabbed the wall for support before I had the chance to fall over again .
Miss Judy ? Beta Taylor asked as he walked around the corner .
Are you okay ?? He rushed towards me to help me stand .
Yeah , just a freak accident , I murmured .
Ill be fine Who screamed ? Irene fell down the stairs , he told me , much to my surprise .
Gavin is with her now .
He wants me to take you home .
W … what about the paparazzi ? I asked .
Gavin took care of it already .
The stories had been pulled and the paparazzi arent going to go against him again after what he threatened , Taylor said , chuckling and shaking his head .
Here , let me help you get to the car .
He wrapped an arm around my waist , and I wrapped an arm around his shoulders as he guided me into the main foyer .
Gavin was holding a crying Irene , and be turned to glare at Taylor .
Where have you been ? He asked .
Taylor frowned .
I thought you wanted me to take Judy home , Taylor said , confused .
Leroy can handle that .
This is more important , Gavin growled .
WE need to get to the hospital right now .
My heart ached from his words … of course , I knew that his daughter was more important than me but hearing him say it out loud and not even be curious as to why Taylor was holding me up , Taylor glanced at me with a frown .
Are you going to be okay ? hurt .
I nodded , forcing a smile .
Lets go ! Gavin growled at him .
Taylor nodded and released me .
I nearly fell over but thankfully there was a wall next to me and I was able to use it for support .
Gavin didnt even spare me another look as he hurried after his Beta with Irene cradled in his arms .
My eyes found hers and I swear I saw a smirk playing on her lips just before they disappeared .
Had she done this on purpose ? Third Person POV Your tutoring session is already over ? Irene asked , poking her head out of her bedroom door as Matt walked by .
He nodded .
Yeah ; its late now .
Weve been studying and practicing for most of the day , he replied .
