Gavin’s POV I could smell her arousal as she sat on the couch, her legs wrapped around me while my arms were wrapped around her. I wasn’t used to showing this level of vulnerability; I wasn’t used to being this vulnerable in general. I didn’t particularly like revealing this side of myself. But I couldn’t help myself when it came to her; she brought this side out of me. Seeing her in the arms of another man did something to me; it released this primal need to claim her and make others back off. I never wanted to see another man touching her again and if they did, I would rip their heads off. There was no doubt in my mind that my wolf would happily kill anyone who touched Judy Montague. A strange reaction for someone who isn’t our mate. As my lips trailed down the nape of her neck
