Alpha’s Virgin Stripper

Lake;

“I think you’ve had more than enough fun for the night, Monterrey. Step away from her.” I gnarled, but it was nothing compared to River’s enraged growl. My eyes shifted from him to Jojo, who his tall frame overshadowed. I could not see her figure clearly, only the fear and terror engraved in her right eye. My jaw hardened in that instant. I had told her to stay put and not move an inch, the instruction was to prevent situations like this. But, she had to be a stubborn brat and defy my orders. I made a mental note to deal with her later. But first, I had to take care of the Monterrey boy.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Xavier stole his arm away from Red and took a firm stance by her side. He slips his right hand over her shoulder and pulls her closer to his body, rage quickened the flow of my blood.

“Why, Lake? I mean, I am only trying to have a good time with her. She is a stripper at your club, is she not? I would pay her good money, of which a percentage is yours. That is if there isn’t something I am missing. She is only your worker, right?”

By the goddess! This man was spewing so much nonsense, I wanted to pick him up and send him toward the hard ground, more than ten feet beneath us.

“I do not believe it is any of your business.” I bit back. I could no longer stop myself from walking toward them. I only wished Red had listened to me and stayed at a place, I would not have had to have this discussion with this man. As I stood in front of them, I saw the confusion in Red’s eyes, she was shaking violently against his hold. But, Xavier’s head was too up in the clouds to see that the woman standing was freezing to her teeth.

“I am sorry, I’m sorry…” She muttered, trying to wriggle free of his hold. Of course, I could trust Red to plead for mercy instead of driving her knee into his nut-sack. Just like I wanted to grab hold of his neck and squeeze the living daylight out of him until he could neither speak nor place his hands on the body of another woman without consent.

Xavier pulled her back and dragged her into his arms. He threw his head back in a peal of hearty laughter. Maybe, just maybe if I gave him a solid blow on his jaw, he won’t be able to laugh anymore.

“Come on, Lake. We were only having a friendly chat, there is nothing serious. Why do you look like you want to tear me into shreds and feed my bones to dogs? You’re too aggressive, loosen up.”

Did I need to tell him that he had just updated my list of the many ways I could kill him if he did not step away from Red immediately? Or should I just go ahead and show him? I weighed my options in my head for a nanosecond and decided on doing the latter. But first, I had to give him one last chance. Just so I can say that I warned him.

“I have said it before and I would hate to repeat it, Monterrey. Leave the girl alone, it’s your last chance. I would hate to deliver your head to your father’s door, he has been very kind to me.” I spat out. It was fun to play with his ego. I knew how much Xavier Monterrey hated to be referred to as his father’s boy, even though it was exactly what he was.

I knew it was not my threat, but my insult that did the trick. He snatched his arm from Red’s shoulder, releasing her from his grip. I saw her stagger backward before she gripped the railing for support. He walked slowly, towards me. I watched him with keen and dark eyes, he stopped beside me and corked his head toward my direction.

“You should be careful, Alpha Lake. People are watching. I would hate to be one of those who spread the rumor of your frolicking with low lives. You know how bad that can be for business, and…” He leaned into me, making sure the skin of his lips brushed my earlobe.

“You have been very good to me.”

Before I could turn to him, he had his back facing me and was halfway across the balcony. I kissed my teeth in annoyance and turned away from him. My eyes did a quick search for Red before I found her, cowering against the railing. Her jaw was firmly clenched, but I could feel her teeth rattle against each other. The cold was intense and her dress was very light.

I found myself moving towards her. She still had her shoulders slouched. I took my tux jacket off and wore it over her small frame. It threatened to swallow her, but it managed to bring the shivering to a slow halt.

“Thank… thank you…” She stammered, through bared teeth. I did not say a word; I could not bring myself to. I cupped her biceps with my arms and helped her stand straight. I could feel her stare at me, but I did not need to look at her. I took both her palms in my hands and scrubbed them against each other. It was to create some form of heat for her. Her bright eyes burned through my skin, but I could not stop what I was doing. It felt as though I was moving against my accord, I was hopeless against her charm tonight.

It was not enough; the frictional heat I had created was not doing her any good. My eyes rose from her palms to look at her face. Her skin sparkled against the light of the moon. Her delicate ears framed a button nose. It was a pleasure to see her fiery red mass of hair dance along with the wind. Her enticing, constellation of green eyes glazed back at me, bright with hope and happiness. She was beautiful, too beautiful to be true.

I did not know what happened next, but I know that I wrapped my arms around her thin waist and pulled her to myself. I wanted to keep her warm, I felt the clawing desire to keep her safe. And she was safe in my arms, she would always be safe with me.

When she relaxed against my chest, I pulled away from her and looked down at her face. My eyes darted to her lips on their own accord, beneath her innocent eyes and the glossy skin of her pointed nose, lay small lips, soft as silk, lush and smooth, beckoning on me.

I answered their call.

I cupped her cheek with my right hand and tilted her chin up slowly so that she was looking at me. Her green orbs sparkled as I stared at them. I could allow myself to get lost in those eyes. My thumb grazed the wet skin of her lips.

By the goddess! They were so soft, just as succulent as I had imagined, as they had always been.

I could not fight back anymore; I could not ignore my growing desire for her. I lowered my neck and eased my fingers into her thick mass of hair, before sealing her parted lips with mine.
