Her Forbidden Alpha

Chapter10　Amelia’s Secret

The next morning Scarlett trained alone again and this time Elijah did not disturb her. After what happened last night, both were unsure on how the other would be when they came face to face. Although last nights events had awakened a deeper desire in them both they were uncertain on the extent of the other’s interest when they were not so high on alcohol.

But Elijah himself knew he wanted her, he could not even think of another woman, not when she consumed his mind. It disturbed him slightly that he had taken such a strong interest in anyone, something that he had never experienced before.

After training at dawn, Scarlett had returned home. Showering in a bathroom that smelt strongly of Elijah was difficult, the steamy room a clear sign he was back from training too. Sighing inwardly she got dressed in a pair of jeans and an oversized off-shoulder white top that clung to her breasts. She paired it with white flats, had her hair open and her lips painted a nude today. With a coating of eyeliner and mascara she was ready.

She walked downstairs feeling a little nervous to face him. Her core throbbed at the thought of last night.

Entering the kitchen she saw the bleak sunlight shine through the windows, casting a dull glow around the white kitchen cabinets. The delicious smell of the full English breakfast her mother was finishing up cooking enveloped her senses. Indigo was setting the table, yawning away. Jackson and Elijah were sat at the table, Elijah glanced up when she entered but she avoided his gaze.

“Morning.” Scarlett said walking over to the table ruffling her hair.

“Good morning dear.” Jackson said giving her a small smile. Scarlett smiled going over and giving him a kiss on his forehead. Her scent tickled Elijah’s senses as his eyes roamed her body for a second before he looked away smoothly.

“You get the food.” Indigo grumbled, sitting down groaning. “It’s not fair, Elijah tortured us all.”

“You’re complaining about Elijah now? That’s different.” Jackson chuckled. “I’m glad he’s putting the effort in.”

Jessica smiled as she and Scarlett carried the two platters containing; toast, bacon rashers, sausages, eggs, hash browns, roasted mushroom and tomatoes.

“I think everyone needed a little push.” Elijah said.

“A little brutal considering last night was a party.” Indigo grumbled. Scarlett added food to her plate taking her seat next to Elijah’s, much to her dismay it was the only seat left after Jessica took the one next to Jackson.

“Who said to drink so much then?” Jessica scolded.

“You knew…” Indigo asked, surprised then grinned as she began helping herself to food.

Elijah noticed how Scarlett made sure her leg or arm did not brush his. He instead parted his legs even more, moving one close to hers as he purposely brushed her hand when he reached for the baked beans. She glanced at him as a tingle of pleasure rippled through her, her heart skipping a beat before looking away quickly. She crossed her legs to avoid his knee touching her, remembering how she had straddled him last night…

“So, either of you care to explain what happened last night?” Jackson asked seriously, staring at them. Scarlett froze, her eyes widening as Elijah simply raised an eyebrow questioningly.

“With Hank..” Jessica added, seeing Scarlett’s frozen expression.
