Beautifully Irresistible(94)

“You wouldn’t stick up for him if you knew what I already know,” he shouted in my face.

His nose looked enormous and really painful marring his otherwise very handsome features.

“What are you talking about, Alex?”

“You will find out in time. I’m just warning you. Be careful, Jennifer.”

“Sounds like a lot of jealous bullshit to me, Alex.”

“Suit yourself.”

“Alright, I will take your advice, thank you. Now what about that dance now, Alex?”

I looked straight at him, flirting with him outrageously. He was very handsome even though my taste was always team blond. His thick silky hair was almost black. He had gorgeous deep brown eyes and full lips. His body looked pretty ripped too. I would have been lying if I didn’t admit that I was attracted to him.

“I thought you would never ask.”

He smiled at me. Alex pulled me close and we moved around the hallway. He kissed my neck softly.

“That’s nice, Alex. You really are hot, you know,” I whispered.

He gently caressed my bottom.

“So are you. Zack is a lucky bastard!”

“Kiss me hard, Alex.”

His eyes flashed with need and desire.

“I would love to, Jennifer”

He licked his lips and started to kiss me. I felt his erection pressing into me. I ran my fingers through his silky thick dark hair. It wasn’t the worst kiss I had ever had and I quite enjoyed it as he kissed me gently exploring my mouth.

Alex found that he really regretted kissing me when I pulled my knee sharply up into his groin with all my strength.

I yanked his hair hard as I inflicted my attack.

“Ah, you bitch!” he groaned as he slumped to the floor holding his tackle.

“Stay away from us, Alex!” I shouted at him as I turned heel and headed back to our room without the ice.





Chapter Forty Eight





The following morning after breakfast in bed we caught an early train back home. Zack had donned black sunglasses to cover up his swollen eyes. We were both absolutely shattered and any thoughts of a romantic night in a hotel were ruined by Alex.

“I still can’t believe you gave him a good knee in his junk! You are one tough cookie!” Zack laughed as we sped through leafy Kent.

“He didn’t know what had hit him. I bet he is aching today!”

I had kept the kissing part quiet even though it was only the means to an end.

“Zack, are you sure you are not going to press charges?”

“No. Alex didn’t press charges in Paris and I could have got in a lot of trouble as there were plenty of witnesses. I hate to say it but I appreciated that. It’s probably best left alone.”

“One thing has been bothering me, Zack. He said I don’t know what type of man you are and I should be careful around you. I have never felt like that around you. You are lovely to me all the time.”

“Just ignore him as he’s trying to cause trouble. He took it hard when Phoebe grew bored of him as a plaything. To be honest, he was by far her longest affair.”

“Did he love her?”

“I think he must have. He used to follow her around like a puppy dog. Did I not tell you that he worked for us? When I discovered their affair I fired him. He is still a close friend of David’s.”

Ah yes, the lovely David, the prime suspect.

David Simms, the creep that I was planning on visiting very soon.

We continued the rest of our journey in silence as I mulled over Alex’s words of warning.





Chapter Forty Nine





When we got home, the house was eerily quiet and I would have expected the twins to be home.

“Scarlett, Jasper, we are home,” Zack shouted into the silence.

“She must be upstairs studying with her headphones in, Zack. That will be why they can’t hear us,” I told him as I went into the kitchen to put the kettle on for a cup of tea.

“Hello, Gatsby boy.” Zack patted his dog affectionately.

Gatsby fussed around us clearly happy to see us.

“I will go and check on her. Jasper must be up there too.” Zack bounded quickly up the stairs.

His amazingly long sexy as hell legs carried him. Suddenly an awful thought crossed my mind.

What if Connor was up there?

Oh shit!

“Wait there, Zack. I will check. She might be in the shower or something.”

I tried to overtake him on the stairs.

Sadly I failed, outrun by the earlier mentioned legs.

“Scarlett, we are home.”

He knocked on her bedroom door. He waited a few seconds and then went in.

I had caught up with him by now and I stood in the doorway of her room, taking in the scene.

Oh dear!

“What the fuck is going on here?” Zack shouted.

Scarlett and Connor were naked in bed together. They had the covers pulled up around their necks.
