Gavin asked as I walked around the corner .<\/p>\n<p>I froze when I saw him leaning against the wall of the corridor , his arms folded casually across his chest .<\/p>\n<p>Just thinking , I teased as I started to walk past him wanted to go to the bathroom , but his hand .<\/p>\n<p>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 .<\/p>\n<p>My body flared to life from his nearness and my breath hitched in my throat .<\/p>\n<p>He was lucky we were completely alone right now because if anyone were to see us , it would only feed the rumor mill .<\/p>\n<p>What were you thinking about ? He asked , a smirk on his lips .<\/p>\n<p>My heart was pounding in my chest as I looked up at him .<\/p>\n<p>Wouldnt you like to know , I said , winking at him .<\/p>\n<p>Lattempted to wiggle out from against him , but he had me pinned between the wall and his body .noveldrama<\/p>\n<p>His lips found mine before I could utter a single word , and \/ my entire body lit up to life .<\/p>\n<p>He tasted so sweet , and his kiss was way gentler than thought it would have been .<\/p>\n<p>His lips moved perfectly against mine and his tongue slid out to taste my bottom lip , asking permission to enter my mouth .<\/p>\n<p>Permission that I gladly gave him .<\/p>\n<p>I found myself moaning softly against his lips , wanting to deepen the embrace .<\/p>\n<p>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 .<\/p>\n<p>Someone who would never let him go .<\/p>\n<p>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 .<\/p>\n<p>He lifted me up and my legs instinctively wrapped around his waist .<\/p>\n<p>He ran his fingers up my bare back beneath my shirt as he started to walk us towards the bathroom .<\/p>\n<p>But then the sounds of falling and screaming were like dumping cold water on whatever was about to happen .<\/p>\n<p>Gavin dropped me to the ground before I could get the chance to comprehend what had happened .<\/p>\n<p>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 .<\/p>\n<p>I knew my tailbone was going to bruise .<\/p>\n<p>I struggled to get to my feet .<\/p>\n<p>I hadnt realized that I hurt my leg during that fall until I attempted to walk , and pain shat up my spine .<\/p>\n<p>I hissed and grabbed the wall for support before I had the chance to fall over again .<\/p>\n<p>Miss Judy ? Beta Taylor asked as he walked around the corner .<\/p>\n<p>Are you okay ?? He rushed towards me to help me stand .<\/p>\n<p>Yeah , just a freak accident , I murmured .<\/p>\n<p>Ill be fine Who screamed ? Irene fell down the stairs , he told me , much to my surprise .<\/p>\n<p>Gavin is with her now .<\/p>\n<p>He wants me to take you home .<\/p>\n<p>W \u2026 what about the paparazzi ? I asked .<\/p>\n<p>Gavin took care of it already .<\/p>\n<p>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 .<\/p>\n<p>Here , let me help you get to the car .<\/p>\n<p>He wrapped an arm around my waist , and I wrapped an arm around his shoulders as he guided me into the main foyer .<\/p>\n<p>Gavin was holding a crying Irene , and be turned to glare at Taylor .<\/p>\n<p>Where have you been ? He asked .<\/p>\n<p>Taylor frowned .<\/p>\n<p>I thought you wanted me to take Judy home , Taylor said , confused .<\/p>\n<p>Leroy can handle that .<\/p>\n<p>This is more important , Gavin growled .<\/p>\n<p>WE need to get to the hospital right now .<\/p>\n<p>My heart ached from his words \u2026 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 .<\/p>\n<p>Are you going to be okay ? hurt .<\/p>\n<p>I nodded , forcing a smile .<\/p>\n<p>Lets go ! Gavin growled at him .<\/p>\n<p>Taylor nodded and released me .<\/p>\n<p>I nearly fell over but thankfully there was a wall next to me and I was able to use it for support .<\/p>\n<p>Gavin didnt even spare me another look as he hurried after his Beta with Irene cradled in his arms .<\/p>\n<p>My eyes found hers and I swear I saw a smirk playing on her lips just before they disappeared .<\/p>\n<p>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 .<\/p>\n<p>He nodded .<\/p>\n<p>Yeah ; its late now .<\/p>\n<p>Weve been studying and practicing for most of the day , he replied<\/p>\n<p>Sara is a daring romance writer who turns icy landscapes into scenes of fiery passion.
