“What the fuck do you think you’re doing?” Steve said from across the room, not even trying to come to Simon’s aid. “I thought the fire at your bar was enough not to try anything like this?”
“That was you? Well thanks for the confession, that will make things a lot easier. Oh, and I am threatening him. Tell me where he is or I’ll call the police on your little drug party here,” Elijah said.
“You wouldn’t dare call the police with your girlfriend’s brother involved. I don’t think you would do that,” Steve said.
“Try me. You have ten seconds to tell me.”
Elijah began to squeeze Simon’s neck as each second passed, Simon began to struggle and Elijah’s smile widened. Simon had put his hands up in surrender, Elijah loosened his grip enough to let him talk but not enough to get loose.
“OK, ok, William is at Liam’s place on Surry Street, he’s there,” Simon said.
Elijah kept his hand where it was and pulled his phone out from his pocket. Searching the internet for Surry Street and asked Simon for the number of the house. Checking the number existed.
It did.
Simon rubbed his neck where Elijah had removed his hand and glared back up at him.
“You’ll regret this when I tell my parents what you did, they will make poor old Lilly pay,” Simon said.
“What is it with you society kids? No one cares who your parents are, least of all Lilly. If your parents want to embarrass her parents then go ahead. No one cares,” Elijah said.
Simon tried the door behind him and it opened, it swung open out into the garden and Elijah grinned at them and nodded over his head. Simon turned to see what Elijah was looking at and his face paled when he turned back.
“You said you wouldn’t call the police if I told you.” Simon said.
“I lied, sorry, your drug dealing nearly killed Lilly and countless others and that is not acceptable. You deserve to rot in jail,” Elijah said.
The police came through to the kitchen from the front and back and rounded up all the occupants. Elijah looked at Mickey and smiled, they made a good team and his plan had worked. Mostly worked, he still needed to find the pendant.
Chapter Forty-Three
Lilly hadn’t seen Elijah for over a day and she missed him. He finally got in touch and said that they were all going out for dinner to celebrate Jack and Olivia’s return from their honeymoon. They’d only been away for a week. Still, Olivia missed her Thursday dinner and wanted them all to get together before everyone went their separate ways.
Lilly sat on the edge of the sofa bouncing her knee up and down with nerves, she waited for Elijah to return. Jack and Olivia were doing their best to entertain her with shocking questions aimed at her.
“Do you like anal Lilly? Teasing the starfish, do you like that?” Jack asked.
“Stop trying to embarrass me, it won’t work now, I’m used to your shocking statements. I won’t watch you have sex. You can’t watch me have sex. I don’t want to be whipped or tied up and no you can’t drip wax on me. I am thrilled you two have such an open sex life but could you stop having your honeymoon right in front of my eyes. Please?” Lilly said.
Lilly looked over at the newlyweds, legs and arms wrapped around each other and they kissed. It was quite a turn on for Lilly, she hadn’t met such openly sexual people and their lack of shame allowed her to look and stare and enjoy what she saw. She wasn’t going to admit one word of it out loud. She wouldn’t be able to cope with the shame of them knowing she liked what she saw.
“We don’t mind, do we Olivia, its only skin after all,” Jack said.
“Sure, if Lilly wants to watch I’m all for an audience, I’ve never had one before,” Olivia said.
“Stop teasing me Olivia, I know you would never allow anyone to watch you two,” Lilly said.
“Ok fine, but can we still kiss, is that acceptable?” Olivia asked.
“Fine, I just hope Elijah hurries up because I’m reasonably sure Jack’s hand was in your pants just a second ago,” Lilly said.
Jack burst out laughing, army rolled the pair of them off the sofa and onto the floor. He settled himself on top of Olivia, threaded his fingers into her hair above her head and then turned again so that Olivia lay on top.
“See, look no hands in pants, all above board, just kissing.” Jack confirmed and made a demonstration.
“Don’t you two ever give it a break?” Elijah asked from the morning room doorway.
Lilly jumped up and ran to his open arms. He hugged her tight and kissed her soundly on the lips.
