Chapter 11
Scarlett
"Pregnancy?" She asked shouting.
"Keep it down Karen, no one knows yet." She turned to Mom. "Just Mom, Alpha, and now you, but I don't want anyone to tell, I want to tell Dad and Bob, but I need to prepare myself first," I said and Karen just nodded.
"But then you are, together?" Karen asked and I just nodded.
"Yes, for now, we are together, but don't open your mouth," I said, making a sign of secrecy, placing my index finger on my lips.
"But don't expect too much, a Pack is always a great place for gossip." My mother warned, and I just agreed.
My mom gave me a ride home, and I went straight to the shower, I had time to put on makeup and style my hair, I put on a tight black dress and gold sandals, and when I was ready Christopher texted me that he was waiting downstairs.
I went down the stairs and left the house, to come face to face with a Mercedez SUV, Christopher got out of the car and went around to open the door for me. His gaze roamed my body and he sighed before saying.
"You always manage to surprise me. It's a sight to behold, Scarlett."
"Thanks," I said smiling as I got into the car, he walked around and got into the driver's side. "Another car? Are there any others that I don't know about yet?"
"There are 6 more for you to see." He responded by laughing, but I knew he was serious. Then Christopher touched my leg and squeezed it lightly before saying. "How about a Mediterranean restaurant? I know one called Cristoffolini, the food is great."
"I accept your suggestion, it's great for me," I responded, and we talked the whole way, about the most diverse subjects. When we arrived, the valet took the car and Christopher got in with me, the room was chic, it was a piano bar, with a pianist who was already performing, making the place cozy. The entire room was in shades of black, white, and red, the tables were wooden with white tablecloths and vases of natural flowers on top of each one. The receptionist took us to a more reserved room, and soon a waiter came to take our orders.
"I'll have a shot of whiskey, do you want wine dear?" Christopher asked me and my cheeks flushed instantly.
"I can't," I said laughing and Christopher's eyes widened remembering. "But I'll take an orange juice."
"I'll have that octopus with potatoes." He completed his order.
"Two of those." I handed over the menu smiling too.
As soon as the waiter walked away he reached across the table, reaching for my hand and holding it while stroking it with his thumb.
"I'm sorry, I forgot you can't have alcohol now," Christopher said, opening a smile.
"It's okay, I almost forgot too."
"Do you have many symptoms already?"
"Just morning sickness for now... I can't even eat croissants."
That made him laugh.
"Matthew came to see me at the hospital today..." The words slipped out of my mouth and Christopher's eyes widened as he looked up to look at me.
"He what?" He asked growling, and I slightly closed my eyes and sighed before answering.
'He was waiting for me when I returned from the meeting with you. He wanted a second chance, I just said no and rejected him, I put an end to it permanently.' I said calmly, and saw Christopher's muscles relax with each sentence I said.
We continued with dinner, and talking to him was something so natural, so incredible, that time flew by, he seemed like an old friend that I hadn't seen in a long time and that I needed to catch up on. We ate, I drank my orange juice, he his whiskey and after dinner we went to his house, on the way back he seemed a little airy. I took my fingers to his hair, I stroked him while rubbing my thumb on his forehead like a caress.
"What?" I asked and he sighed, taking my hand out of his hair with one hand, while the other remained firmly on the steering wheel, he took my hand to his mouth and kissed my palm before saying.
"Nothing for you to worry about, sweetheart. Boring Alpha business." He said and smiled at me before focusing back on the traffic.
We arrived at Pack’s House, and it was bizarre how even though we had only been there once, it seemed so absurdly familiar, we went up to his room and all he had to do was close the door and put the car key on the counter, and I felt two hands wrapping my waist and pulling me from behind for a hug, my body collided with his and I fit so well inside, it was so perfect that it made me sigh, his face went down to the side of my neck, and he kissed my neck and my jaw until he whispers in my ears.
"I'm starting to get used to it, since I kissed you the first time, I've only spent the nights in this room with you." His hoarse voice seemed to fill me inside, his sentence gave me chills at the same time that it made me smile.
"It was just two nights…" I said smiling as I turned to face him.
"But I want them all from now on." He said, still hugging me, and that made me stand on tiptoe so my lips could reach his, Christopher wrapped me with his hands, then with his tongue, and inside my chest I felt him involving me with his soul. Our kisses were something that went far beyond the physical and I felt like I couldn't get enough of him.
His hands wrapped around my leg and my ass, and I was quick to jump up and wrap my legs around his hips, it was like he was inside my mind, and knew exactly what to do and when to do it, we were synchronized, he continued kissing me but I stopped for a moment, with me on his lap, our faces were at the same height, I stopped kissing him to look at him for a moment, our eyes connected and there I saw my entire world in front of me.
It came suddenly and meant everything.
His gaze was filled with such absurd adoration that it made me lose my breath, Christopher smiled before kissing me again and taking me to the bed,
I felt the soft sheets on my back, and Christopher's body on mine, I pulled up the shirt he was wearing, those clothes were too much, it was as if my body needed his touch, I opened his belt, at the same time, he was taking off my dress, my hands ran down his back and when his kiss went down my neck, I scratched his back while I felt his muscles contract under my fingers. He continued to kiss, but his fingers went directly to my panties, pulling them down in one movement, while he positioned himself between my legs, my body felt so many things that I couldn't describe, it was chills, electric shocks, waves of pleasure, everything that left me in a trance when I was with him. When Christopher wrapped his tongue around my sex I lost consciousness, his tongue made circular movements, sucking and teasing me, while his hands went up to cup one of my breasts and he first pushed the bra up, but then I opened the clasp myself. I needed to take it off, the piece was too much for me. Everything that was involving me in a way that was too much to bear, I was thrown into an orgasm and my legs would involuntarily tighten while I tried to recover.
It was only a few seconds before he climbed up and covered my body with his, his hard cock was already ready between my legs, and I not only wanted it, I needed it. I pulled my legs up and heard him growl as he analyzed me in the position, where my sex was free, waiting for him. Christopher held my legs as he slowly thrust in, I opened myself to receive him while he moaned hoarsely and deeply. Soon the thrusts intensified and his moans became louder and more rhythmic, he was on his knees and his other hand went to my clitoris, while he continued thrusting, driving me crazy with desire, and I just wanted more and more, when his hoarse moan reaching my ears was the last straw for me to cum again. The feeling was so strong and intense that I felt involved with it, it was a mix of peace, love, passion, pleasure, and happiness.
Christopher lay down next to me with a smile on his face, he pulled me into his hug and I fell asleep on his chest, with a smile on my face.
I woke up suddenly to a cell phone ringing, Christopher was hugging me and I felt him pull me even closer.
"Isn't that asshole again? Is he?" He asked and I laughed before looking for my cell phone.
I reached for the device, but it wasn't mine that was ringing, and it was early, 6:10 am, too early for any normal call.
"It's not mine," I responded and that made Christopher jump out of bed, he reached for his cell phone and answered it quickly. He nervously ran his hands through his hair while listening to the call, his gaze must have come in my direction, and his blue eyes showed me concern, it cut me up inside, something had happened, and it was serious.
"Okay, I'm coming." He finished saying on the call and hung up the cell phone, releasing air from his lungs, his eyes met mine and he said full of sadness. "We were attacked, I need to go to the border, and we had several guards injured, they must need you at the hospital."
"Of course" I said looking for my dress, I quickly put on the clothes.
"Don't you want another outfit?" He asked me, his tone still filled with concern.
"At the hospital, I take a scrub and I have surgery shoes there," I said to him as I put on my sandals.
"But you need to bring some of your things here, to make it easier." He said, taking a shirt from his closet as if it were something common, I felt a big step, I wanted to talk about it, but Christopher's atmosphere of tension was palpable, I decided to try to talk about it later. “I wanted to take you, but the attack was on the border with the South, the hospital is on the other side, you can go with one of my cars. Ok?” Now he asked and turned to me while putting on his shirt.
"Of course, no problem," I said grabbing my bag.
Christopher quickly put on his pants.
"Do you want to talk about it?" I asked, even though I had known him for such a short time, I could identify when he was out of breath, and now more than that, he seemed upset.
"No, not now." He said finishing putting on his shoes.
"You go with the Mercedez SUV and I'll go with the sedan, they are armored." His speech made my blood run cold, a shiver ran down my spine, and my eyes searched his, I didn't know exactly what expression was there, but I worried too.
"Christopher, do you think this is really necessary?" I asked but my voice almost cracked.
"No, it's just for prevention. Please, Scarlett." He said and I nodded and he threw the key in my direction, I caught it in the air and we left together and headed towards the garage.
I went with the car he had taken me to dinner with yesterday, but I just wasn't used to that level of car, we left the garage and I headed towards the hospital while he went south.
I arrived at the hospital and parked in my usual space, I hurried through the emergency room and strangely everything was still calm, I found my sister at the emergency reception.
"Scarlett, what are you doing here, your shift isn't even today," Karen asked worriedly.
"We were attacked, there are injured guards, and this emergency room will fill up in a few minutes, call all the doctors and nurses who are out," I said to the receptionist and then I went in and went to the changing room. "Get me a scrub and a pair of shoes," I said as I took off my sandals and my sister threw the pieces at me. We returned to reception, and it was at that exact moment that we received the announcement from the guard, Karen was already calling Thomas non-stop and my heart sank, they were trying to synchronize their shifts, if she was in the emergency room he was on duty.
But so far with no news from him, it was a matter of a few minutes before the emergency room was full of guards, some had been injured by bullets, others by silver swords, others had been bitten and there were two amputated, one was the arm and the other the leg.
No news about Thomas.
