Elliot's Secret (The King Brother's Series Book 3)

by G. Bailey

  “I would want to be there! I would have killed anyone that hurt you. I don’t care about your past, I don’t care what my asshole of a dad made you do or what yours did. I only care that I’m in your life now and there is no way I am going anywhere when you are hurting!” I shout at him. Elliot walks over to me as I shout.

  "Allie, God you make me so fucking mad," he growls before kissing me hard and coming on top of me. We battle with our tongues before I hear the rip of my short silver dress and I feel him pull it away.

  He unclips my bra before ripping that off me too and taking a nipple straight into his mouth before I get a chance to say anything. My back arches in pleasure as he plays with me. The next thing he rips is my thong before he parts my legs and is diving in between them like a starved man. I scream out Elliot's name as I come fast from the pleasure and he grunts before pulling down his jeans and chuckling off his top with his leather jacket. Elliot doesn't waste time and pushes himself inside me in one long thrust but he doesn't move. I glance up to see him looking at me intently and he kisses me gently as he rocks into me again and again.

  "Allie don't scare me like that again. I just can't…can’t lose you. You don’t have any idea what I would do to keep you safe," he whispers into my ear.

  "I'm sorry," I say before I kiss him. We try to go slow but we both lose the battle quickly as I cry out as Elliot thrusts into me. Seconds later we both finish together, with me staring in wonder at his face as he finishes. I will never forget what it's like to see him like this, so relaxed and happy. He looks younger and less stern.

  "Are you going to untie me now?" I say with a chuckle, the handcuffs aren’t hurting me, while he lies on my chest still inside me.

  "No secrets, Allie. You’re my girlfriend and we have a lot against us already. You should have told me you were coming tonight." He replies.

  "I won't keep anything from you again. I am sorry for scaring you but don’t fight me on coming with you next time. I need to be there for you, I will never be the stay at home girl and if you can’t deal with that…," I say the last part as a whisper.

  "Okay, I always knew I wouldn’t be able to stop you doing anything you want but I will be keeping the handcuffs, just in case," he interrupts and grins down at me. He leans up to undo my hands and slip out of me.

  "Staying here tonight?" Elliot asks as he comes back from the bathroom a little later with a washcloth.

  "Yeah," I say looking around at Elliot's surprisingly clean room. Why is his room always tidy, I have the urge to just mess it up to annoy him.

  I clean up with Elliot's help and dress in one of his shirts and boxers.

  "Did you eat?" He asks.

  "No," I say.

  "Come on, I can order something from that twenty-four-hour pizza place and see if Harley wants any help,"

  I nod following Elliot down the stairs and I think it's sweet when he takes my hand. Izzy opens the door followed by Blake as we get the bottom.

  "Hey bestie," I say with a grin.

  "Hey you two," she laughs coming over to give me a hug and then looks at Elliot.

  "You okay? Blake said the fight went well." She asks. I didn’t realise Blake was there but it doesn’t surprise me.

  "Yeah, we're ordering some pizzas. You in?" He asks them both.

  "Yeah I will grab us some drinks," Izzy says taking Blake's hand as they walk away. Elliot and I find Harley in the living room, feeding a sleepy- looking Jake his bottle.

  "Hey, you want pizza?" Elliot asks taking a seat.

  "Yeah," Harley yawns.

  "Here, let me," I say taking Jake from Harley and I rock him in my arms. I’m lucky it doesn't take long before he is sleeping. I keep him on my shoulder snoozing as I take a seat by Elliot who pulls my feet onto his lap as he talks.

  "Aww, he is so cute," Izzy says coming into the room with Blake holding cans of Coke and some beers which they put on the table.

  "Poor man misses his dad and mum. It’s unfortunate that he has had three teeth come in this week, I may have to apologise to his parents about his new fun game of biting everything," Harley comments taking a beer.

  "They’re back tonight, so he will be happy and why is your fault he is biting?" Izzy asks.

  “I took him to one of those baby classes they told me to. Anyway, I was a little distracted because baby classes have a lot of single mum’s who wouldn’t leave me alone and a little girl his age was biting his arm. He bit her back as I got to him and they both cried. Since then, he has been biting everything.” Harley says with a slight shiver as we all chuckle.

  “Totally not your fault bro,” Izzy says and her phone rings, which she answers walking out the room.

  "Ready for the exams?" Blake asks me.

  "Yeah, I think so. They’re a little difficult and my heart just hasn’t been in it," I say thinking of my business class I share with Emilia. We are going to work on it together but she actually likes the class, when I all I want to be doing is teaching dance. I love all the kids and I’m teaching them a dance for a show at the end of the year.

  "Oh my god, that was Tilly, her mum got a job as a teacher at the school and she starts in July. That means she is moving here with her family in ten months’ time when her dad’s contract ends," Izzy says while jumping up and down. She then jumps in Blake's lap, giving him a big kiss.

  "That's amazing beauty, I know you miss her," he says leaning back.

  "I can't wait to see her. She was my best friend for years when I was younger and stuck by me when my mum died. Her family is cool too. She has an older brother and two younger ones, they are coming too." she says and I notice how Blake tenses a little.

  "So, your ex is moving here," he says quietly but we all hear and go quiet so we can listen. We are close like that or nosy, but who cares?

  "Yes, but you don't need to worry," she says quietly and Blake pulls her into a kiss that's so passionate it could melt the room. I look away to Elliot who is smiling down at me.

  "It's strange seeing you smile so much," I say tracing his lips with my finger, while Jake lightly snores on my shoulder.

  "I have a damn good reason now angel," he says making me blush. Elliot plays with my hair, making me sleepy, while Harley talks to Izzy.

  "So what's your friend Tilly like?" He asks.

  "She has just turned twenty and is a book editor. She and Devon, her older brother, work together. They own a publishing business. She joined him a year ago after her university writing course was done. She loves her job and well, she is a brilliant person. You'll like her and oh, she has the brightest red hair you’ll ever see and it's real." She tells him and us.

  "Are her brothers all red heads then? Boys never look hot with red hair. Except for that guy in Game of Thrones. You know the big wildling," I say and Elliot squeezes my knee, making me look at him with a questioning stare.

  He doesn't reply just looks forward making me think it might have been about calling another guy hot.

  "No they look like their dad; they all have dark blonde hair like yours. I think I know what guy you mean but there’s only one love for me in that show," she comments.

  “Let me guess, Jon Snow?” I ask and she nods as Blake tickles her.

  "I can't wait to meet Tilly. I feel like I know her already, from you," I say changing the subject when they guys look like they want to kill us. I guess listening to your girlfriends talk about other guys being hot, is not fun.

  "You'll love her. She says anything that comes to her head like you but she is so bubbly. I can’t remember ever seeing her upset about anything; she could just make everything better."

  "I don't say everything, you guys would be scared of me if I did," I say and everyone laughs.

  "Last week you commented about my hair after I woke up and told me I looked like my hair had been fucked instead of me last night," Izzy says flatly.

  "So? It did," I say while the boys laugh.

  “Blake’s mum was there, she had come over to make us breakfast.�
� Izzy says with a playful glare. Elliot laughs next to me and I grin.

  "Angel, I like that you say what you think, not a lot of people do anymore," Elliot says kissing my forehead.

  “Maisy just texted me and said their flight is delayed. They aren’t sure how long they will be.” Harley says, drinking a bottle of water.

  “That sucks. Let’s hope they don’t lose their suitcases, that always happens when something goes wrong.” Izzy replies.

  "Oh that reminds me, I need to borrow an outfit to go home in tomorrow Izzy," I ask her.

  "Sure but why?" she asks.

  "Elliot had trouble working out how to get my clothes off, once I was handcuffed.” I tell her and her eyes widen.

  “You know, you’ll have to remember to get me naked first or I might run out of clothes," I tell Elliot. Harley coughs as he chokes on his drink and Izzy goes bright red as she hides in Blake's chest, laughing.

  Elliot belts out a loud laugh and I cover Jake’s little ears.

  I sit back and shrug, realising that maybe I am a little too honest and maybe my friends are right.

  Chapter Nineteen

  Allie

  “Last dance,” I say to the group of twenty women and one guy in front of me. This is my Saturday class and it’s nice to be teaching them today. I move through the dance, watching everybody as much as I can. They copy nicely and I start the song again, letting them do it on their own as I go around the room, correcting what is needed.

  “Nice job, guys. See you next week.” I say and pick up my towel to wipe my head. I grab my bag after rolling the mats up in the room and putting them away.

  Izzy and Maisy aren’t in class today because Maisy said Jake kept her and Seb up all night teething and Izzy has gone to help so they can get a little sleep.

  Poor little man, I will pop to the shops and get him some ice lollies to sooth his teeth. Hopefully, I can find the sugar-free baby ones I’ve seen Maisy give him.

  “So you finally got what you wanted?”

  I turn from locking the cupboard door and see Lily walking over to me. She looks perfect as usual, long red hair in a bun, wearing tight jeans and a tighter blue top.

  “What?” I ask.

  “Elliot. You finally got him to yourself.” She says, stopping close to me.

  “Yes, I did,” I reply. I don’t mean it sound cruel but I know it does. Lily always knew how I felt about Elliot but she started dating him anyway. We stayed friends but she was never a good friend to me, I think she just kept me close so she could keep me away from Elliot.

  “Don’t expect it to last long. I knew he always wanted you but it was me he always came to. I know all about your father.” She steps closer. Elliot told me that Lily used to come to the Cage, he said he never really cared that she was there. Nothing like the reaction I got when I went. I don’t understand how she could go and watch him fight all those years, and still be a bitch to him by cheating on him.

  “I know because Elliot invited me to every fight. He wanted me there and he was my best friend. Feelings like that don’t just go away. Did he tell you we planned our future together? The club he brought, I helped him choose.” She says, trying to make me jealous. I hate that it is working.

  “I don’t have time for this. You’re a two-timing bitch and a crappy friend.” I tell her and walk around her to the door.

  “He won’t stay away from me. Just wait and see.” She says behind me. I don’t believe a word; I know Elliot isn’t crazy enough to go back to her. He would tell me if he saw her, at least I hope he would. I don’t have any ex’s around but I would tell him if I was chatting to one.

  “Can I have a word, Allie?” Harley asks me as I walk outside the room. Harley is dressed in a blue suit that makes him look a mixture between scary and hot. His hair is long and I’ve never seen it down, he keeps it in a knot at the back of his head and sometimes has braids down the side. Harley has slight stubble that suits him.

  Why did God have to make all the King Brothers so attractive?

  “Sure, what’s up, Harley?” I ask him, thankful for the distraction from Elliot’s ex.

  “My office,” he says nodding his head in the direction of the right corridor and I follow him as he walks towards his office. Harley shuts the door behind me and I take a seat in the chair opposite his desk. Harley takes his seat on the other side.

  “Why do I feel like I’m back in first school and I’m about to get told off?” I ask and Harley laughs.

  “No idea. I want to speak to you about your dance classes.”

  “Oh, go on then,” I say leaning back in my seat.

  “The instructor who was meant to take over from you, can’t. I’ve had over fifty children and parents sign up on a waiting list for more dance class. Everyone has asked for you, I want to offer you a job.”

  “That’s a lot.” I say.

  “Yes, it is. The job would be very well paid and you would have your choice of the new rooms or the one you have. You would be given a free gym membership and be able to hire a dance assistant. We would be able to offer new classes in the week.”

  “I'll have to think about it, I’m in university now and I have a few more years before my course is finished.” I tell him.

  “I understand, I will find someone else until you finish but if you change your mind. Let me know.” Harley nods, a simple smile on his face as he leans back in his chair.

  “Thank you, Harley.” I say and he nods.

  “One more thing.”

  “Yes, what’s up?”

  “Does your father know about you and my brother?” he asks me.

  “Kind of but not that we are still together. It’s complicated.” I say, looking away. It’s not like I can tell him about my dad’s warning.

  Harley would make us break up. I know he would do anything to save his brother of any harm and as much as I never want Elliot harmed, I can’t make him leave me again, I just can’t.

  “Just be careful Allie. Also, how did you get that ringtone stuck on Elliot’s phone?” Harley asks me.

  “Oh, it’s an app. It changes the ringtone back and it just looks like a game app. So even when Elliot buys a new iPhone, it sends the app over. That ringtone is not ever going to be not funny. I have no plans to tell him.” I say and Harley laughs.

  “I think I need to borrow this app for Luke’s phone. The little shit keeps eating my salted caramel chocolates. When he doesn’t even like them, he just does it to piss me off. Can you send me the link later?” He asks and I nod in laughter.

  “I have something for you both,” Harley say and pulling out a drawer in his huge desk and looking in it as I wait. He hands me an envelope.

  “What is it?”

  “Open it.” he laughs.

  Inside are some school photos, one of me and Elliot when we were around eight. We were both laughing and Elliot was pulling a pigtail of mine. I used to love pigtails when I was that age. The rest are of our school photos, we used to sit together until he started hating me.

  “When were these taken? I don’t even remember this day.”

  “It says sports day on the back. I found a box of photos in the spare room the other day when I was sorting it out. I don’t know who took them and printed them out but I thought you would like that one.”

  “I really do, thank you, Harley,” I say slipping it into my bag.

  “A cake would be a great thank you,” Harley suggests.

  “You Kings are all the same. It’s all about food with you guys.” I shake my head, standing up.

  “Lemon cake is my favourite. With icing.” He replies, not caring.

  “I like you, Harley King. I might even add a casserole in as well.”

  “Welcome to the family, Allie.” He says with a laugh as I walk out.

  Chapter Twenty

  Elliot

  "Black coffee and one of those peanut cupcakes, thanks." I say to the woman behind the counter at the local coffee shop.

  "Always the same orde
r,” a sweet voice says behind me and I turn to see my ex, Lily, smiling up at me.

  "Yours is a mocha right?" I say, remembering her favourite drink. Despite the fact I wasn't with her for the right reasons I did try to be good to her.

  "Yep," she smiles looking happy.

  "Hey, can I have a Mocha too?" I turn asking the women, who again just nods before walking off.

  "Thanks. You didn't need to," Lily says looking down.

  "I know," I say quietly, feeling guilty about how things were between us. I lead her on for years, knowing I would never love her. That she was just a distraction.

  "Can we talk?" She asks taking her drink off the side while I pay.

  "Sure," I glance at her before taking my stuff over to a seat. Lily sits opposite me looking nervous.

  "You alright?" I ask, having no idea why she wants to talk.

  "Yes, I guess I'm just sorry. Look, I shouldn't have cheated on you. I always knew why you were with me and I wanted someone to actually want me first."

  "Right. No, you shouldn't have but what I did was just as bad. I shouldn't have used you like that and I'm sorry too," I say before taking a sip of my hot drink. I have actually cheated on her over the years, not because I wanted to but because they paid my father for me. I hated myself for it but I never went looking for anyone else until we broke up. It only happened a handful of times and I was lucky because I know Harley had it worse.

  "So you’re happy now? With Allie?" She smiles looking relieved.

  "Yes," Is all I say because I don’t want to discuss my feelings for Allie to my ex.

  I think I'm in love with her.

  I haven't been able to say it out loud because what I feel for Allie has scared the crap out of me.

  "Good. I've met a guy at university," She blushes and places her hand over mine on the table. I move my hand away.

  "That's good, Lil," I say using the nickname I always called her.

  "I really loved you but now I understand that it wasn't enough. I hope Allie makes you feel that way. Can you tell her I’m sorry about the other day? I was jealous and angry. I should have been a better friend to her." Lily says standing up holding her drink.
