Erin’s POVI often ask myself, if I could go back in time, what’s the one thing I would change? When I was a teenager, I would have said not kissing Gavin as nearly as much as I wanted to. I wanted him to know just how much I loved him and how badly my heart ached for him when I wasn’t there with him. Even before I had got my wolf, I knew Gavin was my mate. He has always been the kind of boy you could never forget. I loved him deeply and I would forever love him until my last breath. When I broke up with him, it was like my entire world had fallen apart. But my father gave me an ultimatum that I couldn’t ignore. If I didn’t break up with him, Gavin would never be able to attend that incredible college he’s been wanting to go to. I couldn’t be the reason that Gavin’s dream didn’t happen. I never wanted to stand in his way. I did the only thing
Erin’s POV “Oh, you are so wet,” Gavin’s hand slipped between my thighs, tugging at the underlining of my panties. I was pressed against a bathroom stall, with Gavin in front of me, his scent intoxicating. I forgot how good he smelled. It’s been over a decade since I’ve smelled him; over a decade since I walked away from him, ultimately breaking his heart. And my own. His eyes darkened as he played with my core, shoving his fingers inside of me. At that moment, I couldn’t deny how badly I wanted him. How badly I missed him. It was only moments ago that I was waiting tables and hearing the snickering of some girls I went to high school with at their booths. “Excuse me! Waitress?!” One of them sneered. “You forgot the tomatoes on my salad. I refuse to eat this.” I didn’t forget the tomatoes; I watched her eat them. “My apologizes,” I say to her anyways. I took her plate and turned toward the kitchen. However, before I could walk away, I felt a cold liquid going down the back of m
Erin’s POVGavin unlatched the button on my pants with ease. His nearness was intoxicating; I had forgotten what it was like to be this close to him. His fingers crossed my bare belly, tugging at the lining of my underpants.I opened my mouth to protest, but I heard voices from outside the bathroom, causing my entire body to freeze.“Where the hell is Erin? She has tables to clean.”“She’s slacking on the job again.”My coworkers. They never liked me and talked about me any chance they got.“I don’t know why they keep her here. She does a shitty job.”“She should just get fired already.”My face warmed just as Gavin poured his darkened gaze into mine. He could hear them too; there was almost a playfulness in his eyes as his fingers slide into my underpants.“I can punish them for you,” he said in a mindlink so only I could hear him. “Just say the word.”I pressed my lips firmly together and averted my eyes from him. I wouldn’t give him that satisfaction. I felt his fingers reaching t
Gavin’s POVGavin didn’t want his moment with Erin to end, but he knew it had to. Especially when those ratty she-wolves were dragged out of the restaurant.That had to have been his best work yet; forcing them to speak their inner thoughts to one another. He knew at least one of them would have a juicy secret to spill and they didn’t disappoint.He had to be honest though, he wasn’t expecting Erin to be working in a restaurant, especially after the last time he had seen her. She had big ambitions in life throughout high school; she was always well-kept and gorgeous. Seeing her wearing a waitress uniform, shoes with holes in them, and hair that was messily placed around her head, was rather shocking to him.She dumped him in high school because she was too good for him. He was a poor boy orphan who couldn’t bring much to the table, and she was a rich girl living off daddy’s money.How the tables have turned.Now it seemed she was the poor one and he was the Alpha billionaire that she-
Erin’s POVThe hot water felt nice on my porcelain white skin; I breathed in the steam as it filled the bathroom. The water soaked through my hair, rinsing away my worries and fears of being found out.As I stepped out of the shower, I grabbed my robe that I kept hanging closely to the curtains, wrapping it loosely around my body. The robe was loose enough to reveal my deep cleavage with a strawberry mark on one of my breasts.The memories of last night surfaced in my mind; the way Gavin had touched me and kissed me. The way he nibbled on my nipples and used his soft tongue to lick down my body. My face warmed at the memory.The mirror was still foggy from the steam, but I managed to get a glimpse of the dark circles under my eyes. I couldn’t help but bite my lip, tasting the ghost of his lips still there.I wasn’t planning on going to see him last night, but the more I thought about our moment in the bathroom, the more I couldn’t resist him.Finally, I gave myself a valid reason –I
Gavin’s POV What the hell am I doing? Gavin scolded himself as he watched his Beta leave his office. Erin didn’t deserve new shoes; not after what she had done to him. He went to call his Beta back to his office and tell him never mind on that last request. “Don’t you dare!” Roman scowled. “She might be married to someone else, but she will always be yours, you fool! She’s had a bad time; it’s obvious from her place of employment and her shoes alone. She simply won’t survive without your raging cock.” There was humor in his wolf’s voice. “Don’t you remember how badly she had hurt us when she left? She rejected us. I made a promise that I would never feel that way again and I’m keeping my word.” “Yes, Alpha?” Seth asked as he made his way back into Gavin’s office after hearing his name being called. Gavin stared at Seth for a short while, wanting to tell him never mind, but the words seemed impossible to say out loud. “Nothing. Just make sure the shoes are comfortable to work
Gavin's POVBefore Erin could utter a single word, Gavin had hung up the phone.He felt pleased for having the last word; as he shoved his phone into his pocket, he was stunned as arms were wrapped around his broad body. The familiar scent of vanilla filled his nose as the tight embrace continued; he didn’t need to turn around to see who it was.“Surprise!” Susanna said excitedly from behind him.Erin’s POVI involuntarily trembled as I stood in the back corner of the restaurant, hidden and out of sight of the customers. I kept my phone in the tight clutches of my hand, pressed to my ear, long after Gavin had hung up.Was he really going to mail the ring to Henry? No. He didn’t even know my address… “He’s Gavin Pierce,” my wolf, Emily, reminded me. “He can find this information quickly. I do believe you are truly in deep water this time.” She was right. What was I going to do?Last night was truly a mistake; I don’t know what I was thinking, going to his hotel suite. The memories o
Gavin’s POVSusanna wasn’t due to return for another week. Gavin had the understanding that her tour was going to be a month-long, but it’s only been 3 weeks.“I came back early to surprise you,” she explained with a fond look in her eyes. “I just missed you so much.”He forced a smile on his face, though he only felt unsettled by her presence. It’s not that he didn’t like Susanna; she was beautiful, and she would honestly make the perfect Luna for his pack. But he knew she was only after fortune and power. The little fortune and power she had from the fashion industry weren’t enough for her.“If you’ll excuse me, I was about to make an announcement. But tomorrow night, we will enjoy an evening out together.”She beamed at that and kissed his cheek gently.Gavin proceeded to announce the opening of the newest Hospital in the northern region that he personally is funding. He’s a billionaire; it would be stupid if he didn’t spend some of his money to better the kingdom. That’s what kept
Erin’s POVI sat in my car with a heavy heart after my encounter with Gavin. I stared down at my hand where I could see the indent of the ring that once occupied that finger, and I sighed in defeat.I was going to have to tell Henry that I misplaced the ring. He was going to be so upset with me.“Well, if you didn’t insist on not using his money, then you could have gotten that ring,” Emily said with a sigh.“Are you crazy? I couldn’t use his money for something like this. I don’t need his money…” I argued in return. “I get paid in a few days. Maybe I will try again.” I stared out my window; the shadow of Gavin had disappeared long ago. I shouldn’t still be thinking about him, but that woman he was with was very beautiful. I wasn’t aware he had someone as well; I guess I shouldn’t be too surprised. He is Gavin Pierce after all; he’s incredibly handsome. It would have been crazy if he didn’t have someone just as beautiful on his arm.I was a nobody in comparison.“Don’t say such ridic
