A new female Alpha watches, her perfectly manicured nails tapping along her thigh. She’s beautiful with deep red hair and is wearing a black pantsuit. She leans over to bring her face toward the cage. I’m bending over at the waist, touching my toes and allowing an Alpha to smell my hair.
“You look beautiful,” she tells me, and I smile.
“Thank you, what’s your name, Alpha?”
She grins at her designation and nods. “Claire and yours?”
“Selene,” I say with a smile.
“I’m sure your real name is even more beautiful, but I’m willing to work for it.” I’m leisurely dancing for this Alpha as she continues to drop different bills on the stage for me. I feel so powerful. I can tell this Alpha commands a room; she probably has some high powered job and is in charge all day. But right now? I’m in charge, and I’m wanted. That’s all I want; to be looked at the way she’s looking at me right now? I get down on my knees, my body pressed against the bars.
“You can touch,” I tell her softly, and she smiles. Her finger tip drags down my stomach as she tucks another twenty into the top of my panties. She leans closer toward the cage, her warm hand gliding against my skin.
“Do you do private rooms?” she asks.
“I haven’t before,” I tell her.
“We wouldn’t have to do anything you are uncomfortable with, sweet Omega. I would take such good care of you.” I swear, it’s like she’s tucked me against her chest and purred for me with how seductive she’s being. I’m nearly about to comply, let this gorgeous Alpha show me what it’s like to truly be cared for. I’m holding the bars with two hands, my knees bent, smiling at this enticing Alpha, when two massive fists clench around the bars by my face.
“Luna, get the fuck out of there. Now,” he demands. I’d know that voice anywhere.My stepbrother, Ian.

“Ian,whatareyoudoing here?” I hiss.
“Get the fuck out of the cage now, or I’ll drag you out myself,” he retorts.
“You need to leave, Ian. This is none of your business.” The female Alpha takes us both in and decides to remove herself from the situation.
Dammit.
I was finally going to do it, gather up the courage to go to a private room, and Ian comes in and ruins it. I need to get him out of my system. If I can’t have him, I need to find something—someone else.
“You’re my fucking business, Luna.” He grabs my arm through the cage, and it’s odd how security is watching but not doing anything. They would never let an Alpha touch me without my permission.
“Ian, you’re going to get me fired. Let go of me. Don’t you already have an Omega at home to pant over? How would James feel if he knew you were here? I knew you were a dick, but I didn’t think you were a cheater.” The words taste like lies on my tongue, but I’m pissed, and they just fly out of my mouth.
“Luna, get your ass out of the cage right now before I bend these bars in and throw you over my shoulder.”
“No, fuck off,” I hiss. “I’m not letting you take this away from me. You have everything, Ian. This is all I have, and you will not take my power away from me. I won’t let you!” I scream.
His face softens, and his touch loosens on my wrist, a more gentle touch. “Will you please come out, so we can talk?” He changes tactics by speaking sweetly to me.
“The owner is here tonight. I can’t just leave my post.”
He rolls his eyes. “Don’t be fucking stupid.”
My mouth gapes as I look at him, and the realization hits. Why he could touch me, why no one is batting an eye at this encounter. “You own this place?”
“Yes, now will you get out and stop being a brat?” He glares at me, and I’m at a loss and know I have to do as he asks.
I huff, but what am I supposed to do? I unhinge the cage from the inside and step out. He holds his hand out to me, so I can walk down the steps wearing my heels. He doesn’t let go of my hand as we walk through the employee area. We continue down the hall to an office I haven’t been in before.
He places his suit jacket around me, and as much as I like the smell, I push it down and expose my lingerie clothed body.
“Luna,” he grumbles.
