All Chapters of The Alpha's Private Dancer : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

I didn’t like this fool. There was no two ways about it. The way he was looking at Gianna pissed me off. Looking at her like he owned her. Yes, she may work within his bar, but she was not his. She was not his possession. I was not going to allow him to treat her that way.My ego had taken a hit when she said she was leaving me, I had hoped to spend the rest of her shift with her. I realized if she was working the afternoon to evening shift, then she would finish earlier than she had on my previous visit. I was more than willing to pay for her time, because that was what was expected in a place like this, or else she would be expected to be on stage.Then, I hoped I could hang around outside until she finished, and perhaps suggest a drink, or even dinner… yeah, okay, so I sounded a little like a stalker, but I was trying to ignore that right now, and hoped that she wanted to spend time with me as much as I did her. So, for her to decide she was leaving before our time together had ba

I don’t even know what I was talking about. The words I was spewing were absolute nonsense and I knew it, but they had worked. They had won Gianna around, and she had been unable to resist saying something.I could see the inner struggle she was fighting the more I spoke, and I have to say it was amusing. The way she chewed her lower lip, I assumed to stop herself speaking was pretty damn adorable. Hell, she was pretty damn adorable. Not exactly a way you’d expect to be describing a woman sitting next to you dressed in lingerie…Her eyes looked everywhere but at me, as I still held the cocktail out toward her. “Aww, come on now, beautiful, you can’t speak and then go quiet on me. That is just teasing.” I told her. “Especially when your voice sounds as good as yours does.”Gianna’s gaze slowly moved toward mine, her long lashes fluttering, maybe a little anxiously, as she still chewed that lower lip. The thing she maybe didn't realize was, in doing that, she was simply drawing my atte

My attempt at conversation with Gianna was seriously flailing. I was obviously not as good with the charm as I hoped I was. Not that I ever really needed it before. I was an Alpha for god’s sake, women in and around the pack usually threw themselves at me, knowing my title. Not that I was ever fussed by that, knowing they were simply after me for the title. If anything, it had repulsed me. It certainly made it hard to know who was genuine and who wasn't.And then I had met Brooke and things had changed. She was the one meant for me, and all women had ceased to exist in my mind. Shame she had not felt the same way upon meeting me. Maybe then I would not have ended up as hurt as I did.Maybe the lack of charm was why she decided to look elsewhere? I found myself questioning. ‘Do not start.’ My wolf warned me, knowing I was headed into a downward spiral the moment I began thinking like that. The hurt my former fated mate had caused had seriously damaged my mindset. My ego. My heart. It t

I looked across the parking lot toward my car, but leaning against the wall near it was a man I did not expect to see so soon. Mason. And the moment his eyes seemed to register me walking across the parking lot, his eyes lit up, and his face broke into a smile. Not a small smile either. A big, beaming smile that it was hard to resist smiling back at…“Well, hello.” He greeted me as he made his way toward me. “Fancy seeing you here.”I raised my brows at him in question, a little shocked he was even here. He had left the bar a little while ago now. Had he intentionally been hanging around waiting for me? Or was he waiting for a cab? It was difficult to say, and I most certainly did not want to make things more awkward by asking. But one thing I knew, was it felt odd that he was here outside of the bar environment.“Aww, you keep looking at me like that and anyone would think you weren’t too happy to see me, Gianna. Nothing like trying to give a guy a complex, is there?” Mason teased, a

The waiter walked across to the table with our coffees, placing them on the table with a polite smile. I couldn’t help but notice his gaze remained upon Mason this time, which was highly amusing. He obviously knew he had irritated him, despite the fact there was no real reason for Mason to be upset by this guy's behavior. I was sure he was just being friendly.“Are you guys ready to order?” the waiter asked politely.We hadn’t even had a chance to look at the menu yet. If the rest of the dinner took as long as this did, I would find myself spending all evening with Mason… or was that his plan? Though, would that be the worst thing in the world?“Not just yet, we will take a look at the menus now, and then call you over if that is okay?” Mason said, his voice full of authority. I could tell this guy was one that was used to being listened to. I may not want him telling me what to do, but it was kind of sexy hearing him being so dominant…“No problem.” The waiter scuttled away without a
