Chapter 121

Chapter 0121 Judy’s POV This kiss was like no other, my heart was racing in my chest. I never thought Walter could kiss like this, but here I was, practically floating in his arms while his lips conquered mine. Yet, the kiss was so familiar it was almost like I was kissing Gavin.

Why was I thinking about Gavin yet again? It was like couldn’t get that man out of my mind. When we broke apart, I breathed heavily. My cheeks were flushed, and my heart was racing at lightning speed.

I opened my mouth to say something to him, but he stepped away, his eyes wide and yet dark with lust.

“Walter-

My words were cut off as he disappeared through the crowd, leaving me standing breathless and blushing. I was shocked that he left me there after such an incredible kiss. I reached my fingers to my lips, touching them. They were swollen and I’m sure they were probably red as well.

“Are you okay?” Irene asked as she paused next to me she was looking in the same direction I was. “...uh...” I stammered, not sure how to respond. “Do you know where Walter is going?”

“Walter?” She asked with a frown before glancing over her shoulder at the table. “He just got back to the table”

My entire body froze; what did she just say?

I slowly turned to see Walter saying something to Ethan as he took his seat, and his eyes scanned the area until he found me. A smile lit up his face and he waved me over to join him; I was taken aback. If that was Walter, then who just kissed me?

I looked back in the direction of that man, but he was long gone. My heart was racing, and my palms were sweating. A stranger just gave me one of the best kisses of my life, filled with passion and longing that I had never felt before... well, that’s a lie. I’ve felt it once before. I feel it whenever Gavin kisses me....

But that couldn’t have been Gavin. He wouldn’t kiss me in public like that. He had way more self–control and we both agreed that our night of passion should never happen again. We agreed that we had to pretend it never happened, so if that wasn’t Walter and it wasn’t Gavin, who was it?

“Your face is all red,” Walter said with a frown as I reached the table. “Is everything okay?”

I couldn’t tell him what had happened, so I nodded.

“Yes,” I answered, giving him a small smile. “I think I’m just a little tired.”

At this point, we had been here for a couple of hours and as much fun as it’s been, I was exhausted. I wasn’t used to this kind of thing and the alcohol was getting to my head a little.

“Here, have a sip of water,” Walter said, passing me a glass.

1 smiled greatly at him and took some mouthfuls of water, sighing in contentment as the cold liquid soothed my dry throat.

Chapter 0121 “Thank you,” I said to him sweetly.

#26 BONUS He stood to his feet and wrapped an arm around my waist, kissing my cheek softly. Even his scent was different than the man I was just kissing on the dance floor. My mind was whirling with confusion and my wolf was practically whimpering in my head.

She wanted me to chase after that man and yet she was Sicted and in pain over the fact that our mate was here with another woman. It was driving her crazy and in return, it was driving me crazy as well.

“How about we go outside,” he suggested. “There was something I wanted to talk to you about anyway.”

I nodded and let him take my hand; we said goodbye to Irene and ignored Ethan completely. He was glaring at me, and I wasn’t in the mood to deal with him right now. I walked with Walter towards the back door, and we stepped onto the back patio of the Gala Hall. It was a gorgeous night; the moon was a perfect crescent and there wasn’t a cloud in the sky, making way for the most gorgeous display of stars I had ever seen. The air was a bit chilly, and I wrapped my arms around my body to keep warm.

I should have brought a coat, but I wasn’t really thinking about it when we left this evening, Walter took his suit coat off and wrapped it around my shoulders as if he could read my thoughts.

“Thanks,” I said to him.

“Of course,” he replied, keeping his arm around me and pulling me close to his side.

“It’s a beautiful night,” I told him, trying to make conversation to ease some of the awkwardness I was feeling around him.

“Not as beautiful as you,” he basically purred.

Wanting to change the subject, I cleared my throat and shimmied out of his embrace. I turned to face him, and he had a small frown on his lips.

“So, what did you want to talk about?” I asked him.

He lifted his mask over his face so I could actually look at him; I completely forgot that I had a mask on as well, so I took mine off and held it in my hands while I looked up at him. He looked nervous and I could tell he was internally trying to talk himself into something... or maybe out of it.
