He nodded and pressed his forehead against mine.
Youre right.
I dont like it.
But youre right.
But if he gives you any issues- Ill call you, I assured him.
I stood on my toes and kissed his lips.
Mr.
Protective..
He rolled his eyes, but I could see a hint of a smile on his lips.
Thats me, he murmured.
Always the protector.
He deepened the kiss and then pulled me into his bed where we made love for most of the night before falling asleep.
Where have you been? My mother asked as I walked down the steps of the house.
It was late morning, and I had gotten home a few hours ago from Gavins villa.
I managed to get a few more hours of sleep before waking up for the day.
I wanted to get here and act as if I had been here all night before my mother woke up, but apparently, she had noticed my absence.
I just woke up, I told her, rubbing the sleep out of my eyes.
You hadnt been home all night, she told me, folding her arms across her chest.
Dont think I didnt hear you coming home early this morning.
Youve been like this for weeks, Judy.
You stay out all night and return in the morning.
? 12 My cheeks flushed at her words.
So, she had noticed.
I bit my lower lip and glanced at the ground.
She studied me for a moment before her eyes grew wide.
Are you seeing someone? She asked.
What? No, of course not.
Is it Ethan? She suddenly asked, making my blood go cold.
I could see the hopefulness in her eyes.
Did you two reconcile? No, Mom, I told her, bursting her bubble.
Ethans engaged to someone else … remember? She sighed and rubbed her temples as if she were gaining a headache.
Well, I hoped seeming hes your fated mate and all that you both came to your senses.
But I guess thats not the case.
Anyway, we are going to the Cash family barbeque tonight, so just make sure you are on your best behavior.
I frowned at her and folded my arms across my chest.
Im not the one you should be worrying about, I told her.
She rolled her eyes.
Honesty, Judy.
Its an attitude like that that gets you in trouble, she murmured.
Im going to ask them for some help paying your fathers debt, so I need tonight to go well.
My mouth dropped open.
Mom, we dont need their money, I told her.
I already told you that Ill take care of it.
And I appreciate that, sweetie.
I truly do.
But your father cant stay another minute in that awful prison.
My wolf has been taking all the pain hes been feeling and my heart breaks for her.
We need our mate back and safe and my last hope right now is the Cash family.
They are rich enough that they could help us.
It doesnt hurt to ask His family isnt nice, I reminded her.
Theyve never treated our family kindly no matter how much you and Dad tried to suck up to them.
They looked at us like we were bottom of the barrel trash and not even worth polishing their shoes.
That isnt true, my mother told me.
His mother, Meredith, had always been kind to me and his grandmother as well.
They are friends, Judy.
They will help us if asked.
Judys POV
You agreed to do what?? Gavin asked, folding his arms across his chest as he glared at me.
I sat on his bed, with my head down.
Why would you agree to go to that barbeque? Because Irene asked, I told him.
Shes my friend, vin.
She needed me to be there … so Ill be there.
He sighed, running his fingers through his hair.
Let me go with you, he said after a moment of pause I stood to my feet and closed the gap between us, wrapping my arms around his neck.
