Page 22 of My Forbidden Alpha

“That’s not smart, Red.”

“There’s no other option,” she answers quietly, tilting her head to the side as she washes her hands gazing distractedly at the fairy lights and small colourful lanterns that decorate the garden. They are courtesy of Indy; she sent me pictures when she put those up.

I’m struggling with trying to understand her and what my head is telling me to do. I know I should tell Dad before things get even more fucked up. Looking at her now, she looks even more mature with that expression she’s wearing. She’s the picture of a woman who is trying to deal with her issues by herself.

There’s more to Scarlett than she lets on and for some reason I want to know that woman.

I look out at the lanterns, my mind made up.

“Then I’ll come with you.”

Pleasure in the Night

Elijah

“What?” She looks up at me sharply, her eyes widening. “No, Elijah, if something happens-”

“And what if something happens to you? This is not up for discussion. I’ll make up some excuse to Dad and we can handle this discreetly and efficiently.” Or I hope so anyway

She seems pretty surprised as she ruffles her hair. “I don’t know…”

“I’m not letting you do this alone, so take your pick. I go to Dad and tell him everything or you let me help you, Red,” I reply, watching her arrogantly, knowing she doesn’t have much choice but to accept my help.

She glares at me. “Wow, I don’t really know how to process this. I’m finding it hard to believe that you actually want to help me, of all people.” She raises her eyebrow sceptically as I toss the dishcloth on the counter after wiping down the last of the dishes.

Crossing my arms, I lean against the counter.

“Why wouldn’t I help? This is my pack, and no matter how annoying your sexy ass is, you are part of it,” I say, frowning as I look down at her seriously.

She looks away and nods. “Hmm, I guess,” she murmurs withuncertainty.

“Look, this is best for everyone. They were only a twenty-minute drive away from here, meaning your father probably already knows exactly where you guys are staying. You need someone with you. There is no way you can take on a pack alone and I am pretty capable of handling an alpha.”

Even just the two of us are not enough to take on an entire pack, but it’s a sticky situation.

“Hmm,” she hums, still doubtful. Our eyes meet and the urge to move closer, tuck her hair behind her ear and promise her that I’ll take care of her crosses my mind, but I frown, pushing that thought away.

Those thoughts are not the concern of a brother… definitely not.

“Have a think on it, but it’s either both of us or neither of us.”

What am I doing? I’ve never been like this towards her before. Sure, I’d tease her, tug her hair, tickle her, toss her into the pool, but what I did earlier crossed a line.

I look away, frowning, knowing I needed to get out of here.

“Well, I’m heading out. I have a late-night rendezvous with a certain bombshell.” Although she seems to lack the flavour and spice the doll in front of me has…

“Sure, have fun.” Her voice is flat, hostile even and I cock a brow. “Make sure you lock the door on your way out.”

She leaves the kitchen abruptly before I can even reply, slamming the door behind her.

“Sure thing.” I nod at the closed door and grab my phone. I head out towards the packhouse where I know Fiona will be anticipating my arrival.

Time to get some pussy.

“Oh, Elijah, that’sit!” Fiona moans breathlessly, pleasurecoursing through her as she rides my cock, her moans of desire fill the room, mixed with my own groans. The smell of sex fills the air as pleasure flows through us both.

“That’s it, come for me,” I groan, looking up at the woman above me. Her breasts bounce with every thrust as I grip her hips tightly, ramming her down on my dick. Her head is tilted back in pure ecstasy, her cheeks flushed and her hair a sexy mess. Marks I have left on her cover her neck and breasts, and despite the fact I have a hot woman riding me, it’s not enough.
