The Queen is Territorial
"Just go talk to him, Grace." Harrison gave Audrey a look that said 'Help, Please?' before he looked back over at Grace. If looks could kill, the blond Jude was talking to would vaporize on the spot.
"No...why interrupt what's clearly an enjoyable time." Even her words prickled with jealousy and the Queen she could be.
"Gracie." Audrey's fingers brushed Grace's hand gently. "You know nothing compares to you for him. Just go snuggle up to him."
Grace was going to argue but Audrey pushed her gently towards Jude. She continued to bristle at the way the blond laughed at something Jude said, and how her fingers brushed his arm. He'd been headed over with Harrison, to her, when the other girl had cut him off and he hadn't come to her since. It didn't help any either when the girl shifted to cut her off from reaching Jude in a move that looked like she was just shifting her weight.
She shouldered her way past the girl, glad for the indignant sound from the girl, and wrapped around Jude's arm with a dark look for the girl. The look was one that said if it were legal, she'd be skinning the girl before she blinked up at Jude with soft eyes.
"Hey, Gracie." Jude dipped to kiss her sweetly as he pulled his arm free so he could wrap it around her and draw her to his chest.
She leaned up and deepened the kiss to the point that he gave a low sound into her mouth before she let up for air and snuggled into his chest. "You were taking so long, my Jude." She pouted softly up at him with sad eyes.
"Well he has engaging conversation to keep him entertained. Perfectly well taken care of," the blond murmured in a silky voice.
Jude frowned a little at the blond's words and looked over at Harrison, who raised his almost empty beer glass to prove Grace's words. That it had been longer than he'd realized talking to people. "I'm sorry, love." He dipped to nip her pouting lip. "It's been nice talking to you, Amber, but I really do have to go. I've got friends waiting for me. And my lovely girlfriend here." He kissed Grace again, soft and apologetic.
"Well, maybe I should come meet your friends." Amber purred with a smile.
Before Jude could answer Grace laced both her hands with his and rested them over her stomach. "No." Her tone held Queen and enough jealousy that Jude curled more around her to sooth her. "You're not welcome to meet his friends. You're welcome to go away."
Jude dipped to kiss the shell of Grace's ear with a soft and only for her, "You're prickly, love." He offered a smile to try and sooth Grace's tone just a little. "Goodbye, Amber."
Amber bristled with a dark look before turning tail and stalking away.
Grace leaned back, more against Jude as her head turned up. "I don't like her. She wants you..."
Jude dipped to kiss her deeply, his turn to earn a soft sound from her. "I'm yours, Grace. No matter who looks and who tries, I will always be yours."
She nipped at his lip with another soft sound, this one softer. "Forever?"
Jude chuckled softly, a soft and full of love sound. "Yes. Forever. Now come on, your sister and my best friend are waiting." He moved her to Audrey and Harrison without complaint from Grace. He knew it'd take a little while for her to un-bristle, time and a lot of attention from him. Granted, he also knew if she stayed that bristled she'd take it out on him in bed, which was always an amazing time as well. Choices, choices for him.
