After She's Terminal The Alpha Regrets (Elaine and Lucas) novel Chapter 185

Chapter 185

Blaine had been thumbing through a magazine left on the table in front of her cushioned seat when someone new entered. She’d been astonished that a private jet had been sent for her, of all people.

It’d be infinitely more comfortable for the next seven hours of flight time than cramped in the commercial cabin with a hundred other people.

It would have been a nice flight. If Lucas hadn’t stepped on board.

Elaine couldn’t even speak for the first five seconds of staring at him. And he did the same to her. Disbeli crossed his face as he worked his jaw, trying to come to terms with the fact that she was going to be on this flight with him.

She closed the magazine. He lowered his hands from his tie.

“You,” she said like poison from a vile. She couldn’t believe he was hijacking her personal flight. “What are you doing here?”

“Taking my private jet to England. May I ask why I’ve found you on it?”

“Your jet?” Elaine snapped, standing up from her seat. “This plane was chartered for me!”

“You’re going to England?” Lucas asked.

“So are you!”

“Well I have reason.”

“So do I.”

The two stared at each other a moment longer before Elaine shook her head. “There is no way I’m spending the next several hours next to you on this flight.”

Lucas took a breath then began to undo his tie once more. “Might as well get used to it. Seems as if we might be stuck together.”

“Oh no we aren’t!” Elaine strode ride past him to the door…which was sealed. The flight attendant had just finished doing so. 1

She looked up at Elaine. “Oh, ma’am, can I–”

“I need off this plane,” Elaine said.

“We’ve already pressurized the cabin–”

“Then un–pressurize it!” Elaine snapped.

The woman shook her head. “I’m sorry, these doors won’t be opening again until we reach the Bradford Airport in England.”
