Seducing My Ex's Father In Law by Caroline Above Story

Chapter 538

Gavin's POV

As the car pulled up to the charity event, I knew I had to put my game face on. I hadn't been able to sleep in the last couple of days since my interaction with Judy. I could still fucking taste her on my lips from that night a week ago and she had the audacity to tell me it wasn't her... that I didn't have her in my arms. I knew she was lying to me; she was easy to read, but I couldn't figure out why she was lying.

The morning after that night kept flooding my brain, how I woke up naked in bed with Rachel lying beside me. Though my body had her scent on me as well, and the markings covering both our necks were from one another, I knew the delicate taste of Judy that remained on my tongue.

Her scent lingered in the room, despite how many times Rachel sprayed her perfume around the place.

"You seem lost in thought," Rachel said, sitting beside me in the car. "You've been distant these last few days. Is everything okay?"

I looked at her, the woman I used to be so desperately in love with, but all I feel right now is resentment. Resentment over the fact that she returned in the first place. Resentment because it was her, I woke up next to that morning, and not the one I truly wanted it to be. My wolf stirred in agreement, a strange reaction for him to have. No one I had ever dated or slept with had ever appeased my wolf other than my late wife, Melissa. But that was because she was my true mate. Judy was the first woman he actually seemed fond of and protective of.

It was no shock that he still couldn't stand Rachel, even more so now.
