Judy's POV

Whatever Taylor had said made Gavin's demeanor completely change. One

minute he was holding me and peppering my temple with soft kisses, and the next he was sitting up straight, his entire body rigid. I could feel the tension rolling off him in waves, and it put me on alert.

"The Moon Gem belongs to my mother," he said through my teeth. "It's always been an important family heirloom. Why the fuck would she auction it??"
