Chapter 0299 1 looked back at Mica and Jeremy who were talking among themselves .<\/p>\n
The chosen judges sat in the front , talking amongst themselves .<\/p>\n
Most of the audience went to greet the ones they were there to support .<\/p>\n
Nan was frowning in the direction Judy had gone while a guy spoke her ear from beside her .<\/p>\n
I didnt recognize the guy , but had his hand on Nans leg and my brows furrowed at the sight .<\/p>\n
She never took me for someone who would hook up with a guy she just met .<\/p>\n
From the way he was touching her and his close proximity , Id say they definitely hooked up .<\/p>\n
If youll excuse me , I said to the other Lycans before I took off in the direction Judy had gone .<\/p>\n
I found her crouching behind a tree ; she was completely naked and covering her body with her arms .<\/p>\n
I walked around the tree , startling her .<\/p>\n
Are you hurt ? I asked her , kneeling in front of her .<\/p>\n
Her face was pale , and she had little blood on her lip , along with some bruising on the uses of her body .<\/p>\n
My chest tightened at the sight , and I had an urge to attack whoever did this to her .<\/p>\n
An urge I suppressed immediately .<\/p>\n
Im okay , she said softly .<\/p>\n
You should see the other guy .<\/p>\n
She laughed lightly and the sound was oddly musical .<\/p>\n
I did , I told her .<\/p>\n
You did great out there .<\/p>\n
Her cheeks flushed and her eyes lit up .<\/p>\n
Really ? She asked .<\/p>\n
I nodded .<\/p>\n
I reached into the bag I was carrying and pulled out one of my shirts .<\/p>\n
I keep it in there just in case , but I was glad to have it so Judy could change .<\/p>\n
When she saw it , a smile lit up her face .<\/p>\n
Thank you , she said , taking the shirt from me and quickly pulling it on over her head .<\/p>\n
It went down to her knees , which was perfect .<\/p>\n
She leaned against the tree , exhaustion taking over her .<\/p>\n
Im so tired , she whispered .<\/p>\n
I leaned against the other side of the tree .<\/p>\n
Its protocol to see the medic after a match , I told her .<\/p>\n
Every one of you needs to have an exam before they can clear you to the next round .<\/p>\n
She sighed .noveldrama<\/p>\n
Yeah , I remember they told me that during the introductory banquet , she told me .<\/p>\n
Cant I just sleep for a little bit ? Shifting took a lot out of me .<\/p>\n
I let out a small laugh ; it sounded foreign on my lips .<\/p>\n
I like that , I heard her whisper .<\/p>\n
I turned and tilted so I was looking at her from the other side of the tree .<\/p>\n
Her eyes were closed , but she had a soft smile on her lips .<\/p>\n
I was so close to her that if I moved another inch , my mouth would be touching her cheek .<\/p>\n
Like what ? I asked .<\/p>\n
Her eyes opened , not expecting that I was so close to her .<\/p>\n
She could feel my breath brushing across her cheek and it made her nose and cheeks turn pink .<\/p>\n
The sound of you laughing , she replied , turning her head to look at me .<\/p>\n
I dont hear it often .<\/p>\n
Its nice when I do .<\/p>\n
I looked into her eyes , a smile twitching at the corner of my mouth as I lifted my hand up and brushed a strand of sweat soaked hair out of her face .<\/p>\n
I tucked the hair behind her ear , and I couldnt help but notice her leaning into the touch .<\/p>\n
I allowed my fingers to rest on her cheek for a moment and then I used my thumb to softly caress her bottom lip , which she parted slightly .<\/p>\n
no sex , There were no words said between us ; this was a different type of intimacy than I was used to .<\/p>\n
There was n no cuddling \u2026 just breathing in each others energy .<\/p>\n
I let my lips brush across hers gently , my tongue slipping into her mouth just a little .<\/p>\n
Her eyes started to drift shut as I ran my fingers through her hair and deepened the kiss .<\/p>\n
Gavin \u2026 she whispered hoarsely .<\/p>\n
I kissed the corner of her chin and ran my lips down the nape of her neck.<\/p>\n
Goosebumps formed all across her flesh and she trembled as I ran my fingers up her back beneath her shirt .<\/p>\n
Just as I started to lift up her shirt , a twig snapped , making me jump apart so fast it could have started a fire .<\/p>\n
Then , a voice sounded from nearby .<\/p>\n
Judy , are you out here still ?<\/p>\n
