Chapter 0223 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 red to life from his nearness and my breath hitched in my throat .


    He was lucky we werepletely 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 dly 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 , Sks words continued to y 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 tomit 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 rtionship 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 toprehend 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 ident , 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 re 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 nced 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 ying 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 ; itste now .


    Weve been studying and practicing for most of the day , he replied .
