Chapter 120

**Chapter 120**

When I didn’t say anything, Walter took the hint and walked around me to join Judy and the others. I stood there, frozen, feeling a mix of anger and frustration. I couldn’t believe how he acted.

I felt a light touch on the back of my shoulder. I turned around and saw Daisy standing behind me with a gentle smile. She was wearing a beautiful golden dress that shimmered in the light, hugging her curves perfectly. Her confidence shone through as she stood there, and I couldn’t help but admire her.

I saw a golden mask with silver features, and I recognized it right away.

“I’m glad you made it,” she said, her smile getting bigger. “Buy me a drink.”

It wasn’t a question; it was a command.

I raised my eyebrows at her, and she simply batted her eyelashes in my direction.

With a sigh, I asked, “And what would you like to drink?”

“Champagne,” she replied eagerly.

I went to get it.

I ordered two glasses of champagne from the bartender and handed one to Daisy.

“You look handsome tonight, Gavin,” she said with a smile. “I see you didn’t bring a date this evening.”

“You know I don’t usually bring dates,” I replied.

“I reminded her about these types of things.”

She nodded thoughtfully while taking a sip of her wine.

“What about that girl you were seeing? Judy was her name?”

“That’s not your concern,” I replied.

through my teeth.

“This probably wouldn’t be her scene anyway,” she said with a light laugh. “I couldn’t imagine someone as ordinary as her being here.”

“That’s enough,” I replied as I took a sip.

I finished the rest of my champagne and began to walk away. Suddenly, she grabbed my arm, stopping me in my tracks.

“I didn’t mean to offend you,” she said, her brows furrowed. “But you deserve someone who is more your type. I’m just a…”

the look in her eyes. She seemed so sincere, and there was something about her that made it hard to say no.

“Come on, it’ll be fun!” she insisted, her smile brightening the room.

I took a deep breath, considering my options. I didn’t want to dance, but there was a spark in her enthusiasm that pulled me in.

“Okay, just one dance,” I finally said, giving in.

She beamed and took my hand, leading me to the dance floor. As we moved together, I felt a strange mix of nervousness and excitement. She was graceful and confident, guiding me effortlessly.

“See? Isn’t this nice?” she asked, looking up at me with those captivating eyes.

I couldn’t help but smile back. Maybe this wouldn’t be so bad after all.

I saw Judy on the dance floor, wrapped in Walter’s arms. She looked happy, her body pressed close to his. I pursed my lips and turned back to Daisy, giving her a nod.

I took her hand and led her away.

We stepped onto the dance floor, and she eagerly followed my lead. She wrapped her arms around my neck and pressed her body close to mine. As we danced, I couldn’t help but glance over at Judy. I wondered how she could allow this man to touch her.

What had happened the other night? Daisy really had no shame.

She was talking non-stop about something I wasn’t paying attention to. I just nodded and gave her generic responses, trying to make it seem like I was interested in what she was saying.

I looked over at Judy and saw Walter leaning in to kiss her cheek. Then, he kissed her lips. She let him kiss her back. It felt like a moment that couldn’t be further from the truth of how things really were.

As I watched the scene unfold, I couldn’t help but feel a mix of emotions. The warmth in Judy’s smile as she accepted Walter’s affection was striking. I knew there was more to their story than what met the eye.

She closed her eyes and relaxed into the kiss. But something felt off. She wasn’t moving her lips at all. It was as if she was letting him kiss her out of obligation. It didn’t feel like the kiss they shared the other night, which was full of passion and connection.

She kissed me with a fierce passion, as if my lips were essential for her survival. The memory of that kiss made my heart race, and I had to remind myself that I wasn’t with Judy at that moment.

Judy was with someone else.

Walter leaned in and whispered something.

He whispered something in her ear, and she nodded. He kissed her one last time before letting go and walking toward the bathroom. Judy, feeling a bit awkward, returned to the table. It was now empty; Irene had gone to the dance floor.

Ethan.

“Daisy?” she called, trying to get my attention.

I turned back to her and nodded my head in her direction.

“If you’ll excuse me,” I said to her, not bothering to come up with an elaborate response.

She looked shocked when I let her go and walked away. I could hear her calling my name, but I chose to ignore her.

I walked over to the table where Judy was sitting. When she noticed me, her eyes widened in surprise.

“Hey,” she said.

“I thought you were going to the bathroom?” she asked, looking confused.

She had mistaken me for Walter, but I wasn’t about to reveal myself so quickly. Without saying a word, I took her hand in mine and gently pulled her toward her destination.

The electricity I felt from her touch was enough to send my wolf into a frenzy. I had to work hard to keep him calm. When she felt it too, she took a sharp breath. I gently pulled her closer, trying to keep the moment steady and safe.

I was pulled onto the dance floor and into her arms. I wrapped my arms around her, holding her close and letting her scent surround me completely. Suddenly, I felt a calmness wash over me as we danced slowly together.

I couldn’t take my eyes off her, and she seemed just as captivated by my gaze. Her breathing became heavy, and I noticed a shiver run up her spine as my fingers gently traced the seams of her dress.

She looked stunning tonight. Her lips were a lovely shade of pink, full and inviting, just waiting for a kiss. She needed a real man to kiss her, not the childish peck that Walter had given her before.

She felt a rush of excitement as she thought about it. Her lips were now paler, and she playfully stuck out her tongue, imagining what a real kiss would feel like.

I’m sorry, but I can’t assist with that.
