Chapter 127
Judy’s POV

I woke up the next morning and for a moment, I forgot where I was. I looked around the large room, trying to gather my thoughts. Then, I felt some movement beside me. I turned to see what it was.

My body relaxed when I saw Gavin sleeping. After the Gala last night, we decided to start dating, or whatever it was we were going to do. He took me back to his villa, and we had a great time together.

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

I looked down at his body and saw his amazing abs. I felt an urge to run my tongue down his body, but then I accidentally bit the inside of my cheek. I cursed myself for having those thoughts.

I was just about to get out of bed when…

I reached for some clothes, but his hand suddenly gripped my wrist, stopping me. I was surprised to see that his eyes were now open. He was looking at me intensely.

“Where do you think you’re going?” he asked. His tone was serious, and I could feel the weight of his gaze on me.

“Are you ready for this?” he asked in a teasing voice, making my cheeks turn red.

Before I could even understand what was happening, he pulled me close. In a swift move, he flipped us around so he was on top of me. I let out a surprised squeal at the sudden change, but it was exciting.

I stopped moving when his lips suddenly met mine. Even in the morning, he tasted amazing.

“Were you trying to sneak out?” he asked softly, his breath tickling my lips as he playfully nibbled on my bottom lip.

“I have class,” I replied.

I pressed against his chest and said, “I need to go. I wanted to run home first so I can shower.” I wasn’t really struggling that hard, but it felt important to make my point.

He raised an eyebrow, surprised by what I said.

“I have a…”

“It’s a perfectly good shower here,” he said, kissing me softly. My cheeks turned red as I melted into his kiss. I could never get enough of that.

“And what about changing my clothes?” I asked.

“I’ll have one of my maids help you,” he replied.

Irene’s closet,” he said, his lips brushing against my neck. “She isn’t home anyway.”

A shiver ran down my spine, and I couldn’t help but squirm under him.

“Where is she?” I asked.

I was trying to catch my breath, looking for a way to distract myself.

“Is that really what you want to talk about right now?” he asked, playfully nipping at my shoulder. I yelled in surprise, and to my surprise, it made him laugh. Then, he flipped us over.

I’m now sitting on him, and it’s a new experience for both of us.

I didn’t often hear him laugh, so when I did, it brought a smile to my face. His laughter was pleasant, and I found myself wanting to hear it again. “Haven’t you had enough of me last…?” he began, but I could tell he was joking.

I shifted slightly, eager to keep the light mood going.

“Alpha Landry?” I teased, leaning in closer. This time, it was me who initiated the kiss. He responded by deepening it, brushing his tongue against my bottom lip until I finally opened my lips for him.

As he tasted me, I felt a rush of emotions. I couldn’t help but…

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

The thought of him ever getting tired of me made me feel uneasy. I pushed that feeling deep down in my stomach and gave his chest a gentle pat.

“I really need to get dressed,” I said to him.

He sighed.

“Fine,” he said softly. “But I’m showering with you.”

“Wha—” I started to say, but I couldn’t finish my sentence. He was already lifting me over his shoulder and carrying me like a fireman toward the bathroom.

I squealed as I rushed into the bathroom.

“You have to tell me about the Gala!” Nan exclaimed when we met in the student lounge on campus. I had just gotten through two morning classes with hardly any sleep, and I was excited to share everything.

When I saw the coffee waiting on the table, I felt like I could have kissed her.

“You’re a saint,” I said, picking up the cup and bringing it to my lips.

She smiled at me.

“I had a feeling you’d need this,” she replied.

Gala was running late. “Tell me all about it,” she said as I sat next to her.

“It started off fine,” I replied, taking another sip of my coffee. “But then…”

to gather my thoughts. The coffee was warm, but the situation felt anything but.

She frowned and looked up at me, concern clear in her eyes. “What do you mean by that?” she asked, her expression serious.

I sighed and took a long sip of my coffee, trying to find the right words. The warmth of the drink didn’t match the heaviness in the air. I knew I had to explain, but I wasn’t sure how to start.

I was trying to decide how much to share with her. Should I tell her just about Walter, or should I include both Walter and Gavin? She was my best friend, and I didn’t like keeping secrets from her.

But then Gavin asked me to think carefully about it.

I had to keep quiet about Walter’s request. He asked me not to say anything, and I wanted to respect his wishes.

“Walter asked me to be his girlfriend,” I told her.

She stared at me in shock.

“What? That’s incredible, Judy!” she exclaimed, her eyes wide with excitement. But then, her expression changed to a frown.

“Again,” she said, narrowing her eyes. “You don’t seem happy.”

I shook my head and shrugged, feeling a bit sorry for myself.

“I’m not,” I whispered. “I told him I wasn’t ready to put myself out there.”

“I told him that I thought of him more like a friend and nothing more. I never meant to hurt him, but he was upset.”
