The Alpha's Private Dancer

Chapter 5 - Mason

The bar was becoming busier, so it seemed it was a popular place, though looking around, I could see why. Half-naked women would certainly be a draw, I was sure.

“You wanting another drink?” Levi asked, and I nodded, unsure if he would hear me over the music.

My eyes wandered around the room once more, though I could not help allowing them to fall back to the dark-haired beauty in the corner. It was almost as if she did not want to be seen, although surely that couldn't be the case when she chose to work somewhere like this. But, if she was trying to hide out, it hadn't worked. I had seen her. Oh, I had seen her, and was struggling to take my eyes away from her. She was stunning, and should not be in a place like this. Though, in truth, I am sure none of the girls should be…

“Got your eye on someone Mase?” Killian nudged me with his elbow, suddenly bringing my attention back to my immediate surroundings, rather than to the woman across the room who was currently moving her hips in a way that should be illegal…

“Huh?” I shook my head, in an attempt to dismiss his words. “Nope. Just looking around the bar. Seems popular in here.” I lied. I did not need my friends giving me a hard time for checking out the dancer. I would never hear the end of it. They had been wanting me to find myself another woman since I rejected Brooke.

“Yeah, sure does. Should we go sit over there?” he motioned to the corner where the dark-haired stunner was working the stage, for the benefit of the few people sitting at the tables.

I nodded. I would not say no to being closer to her. “Going to grab a table.” Killian told Levi and Leon at the bar, while the rest of us made our way to the tables, having to pay to gain access to the area closer to the stage. That seemed to be how it worked here. There were the general seating areas, close to the bars, and then the more private dancing areas with the small stages surrounded by a handful of tables. Those were where you had to pay to sit, basically to pay to watch the girls dance.

As we paid for our seats, the security informed us the dancer’s name was Gi-Gi. And as I glanced up at her upon the stage, I couldn't help but think the name did not suit her, and made me curious if that was a stage name. But, the moment we moved closer, those beautiful dark eyes were once more on mine. Up close, she was even more stunning.

Skin so perfect and tanned, lashes long and flawlessly framing her big brown eyes. I had not looked at another woman since the whole mess with Brooke had exploded, but this girl made my damn heart race, and I had no clue why…

“You sure you ain’t checking her out?” Killian asked with a chuckle as we sat down. “Because it looks a lot to me like you can’t take them eyes of yours off her.”

I gave him a dark glare. “Or not…” he added with a cheeky grin, while Jaxon and Eli laughed next to him.

“She is hot.” Eli pointed out. Nothing like speaking the obvious, was there? “Though when I looked around all the girls were.” Eli added, which didn't surprise me. He was always one for the ladies...

“Doubt she would be wanting a brooding and blunt Alpha.” Killian winked at me, causing the other two to laugh again. I do sometimes wonder why I have these guys as friends when they do nothing but insult me.

We all looked to the stage as she moved so flexibly from dance move to dance move. Eli chuckled again, making me look across at him, more than a little confused about what he was laughing at. He grinned. "Just think of the fun you could have with her, Mase!" he said enthusiastically. "See how flexible she is!" he pointed out, as she seductively bent over running her hand along her long, toned leg from her foot to her thigh, making my pulse rate shoot through the roof.

"Can you even touch your toes?" Jaxon asked curiously, making us all look to him in disgust.

"And why is that relevant?" Killian laughed. "You wondering how we would look pulling off that move? Because I am telling you, it would not look like that!"

We were all laughing now, while Jaxon was trying to defend himself and explain his thoughts, but he couldn't get a word in, while we laughed. I may not have wanted to come, but tonight was certainly working out to be better than I thought it might be...

Leon and Levi were walking across to us, as Leon held back to speak to the security, making me wonder what he was saying. Before they came and joined us at the table with drinks in hand, placing them at the table for us all to enjoy.

Conversation was easily flowing, as much as the drinks had been. I think it was safe to say that Jaxon was enjoying his night out, but I found myself keep checking out of the conversation as my eyes kept falling to the beauty upon the stage. Mesmerized by the way her body curved and moved…

“You want to put your tongue back in your mouth Mase?” Levi teased, making me shake my head while the others all laughed. I was the only single one now, it wasn't like I was doing anything wrong.

And no matter how much I tried, I could not help myself. It only made it worse that her eyes seemed to fall on me too, or was that my imagination?

Suddenly, she moved down the steps at the front of the stage, all the while sashaying to the music. Her hips swaying seductively, while her eyes seemed to be focused upon our table, making my heart race. Was this because I had been unable to take my eyes from her?
