She shakes her head, laughing louder. “I don’t want your money,” she says. “I want to know if you need any.”

My lips part as I stare at her hand, extended with cash. “Wait.Youwant to givememoney?”

Music starts up, a little louder than the background music from before.

My attention is drawn to my left. When my eyes land on the pretty, short blonde, my lips part in awe.

I let my eyes trail down her body as my heart begins to race. Her hair is long and wavy, and she’s dressed in a pink skintight body suit that shows off all her curves.

She gathers her hair up into a messy bun as silks start to descend from the ceiling.

I’m captivated by her as she grabs the silks and wraps them around her hands and then her feet. I’m in utter awe, watching her do flips and poses. Nothing too out there, but enough to have me impressed.

“She’s good,” Silva comments, breaking me out of my hypnotic state.

“Good?” I breathe. “She’s fucking phenomenal.”

“Lift your jaw up, kid.” Silva laughs. “You don’t stand a chance.”

The girl on stage leaves, and I turn my frown to Silva. “Why not?”

She snorts. “First of all, you’re what, fifteen?”

“Nineteen,” I deadpan.

“She’s twenty-six, and way out of your league.”

“Well, yeah, but you don’t have to rub it in,” I grumble.

“I think I’m going to have to take a break from the silks,” the blonde girl from the stage slips behind the bar next to Silva.

My eyes are glued to her again, unable to look away. I think I’m in love. She’s so pretty. So fucking beautiful. And by the smell of her peaches and cream scent, an Omega too.Even better.

“My hands hurt,” she sighs. “Can’t keep my hold on them for very long. Been overdoing it.”

“Then take a break, do the hoop, or the trapeze.”

“Yeah, I guess. I might just take a break from performing for a while altogether.”

“Why? You’re so good.” At least what she did up there was.

Her blue eyes turn my way, and I swear to god my heart stops. “Hi.” She smiles, and yup, I’m dead. “Didn’t see you there.” She looks me up and down before biting her lip.

My cock twitches, and I have to stay still so I don’t make a sound. I swear, since becoming an Omega, this thing has a mind of its own. And bad timing too.

“This is Emmett. He’s nineteen.” I can see the light dim in her eyes, but her smile stays. I stare at Silva and frown. She gives me a knowing grin.What a cock block.

“Hi, Emmett. I’m Lexi. I’m going to take a wild guess and say you're new here?”

“Ahhh...”Okay, words, Emmett. You know how to fucking speak. Use your fucking words!“Yes.” It’s a word.

“Well, welcome to Widows Peak.”

“I was just telling him we can get him set up at the inn. He doesn’t know anyone or have a place to stay.”

“Oh yeah, for sure. Anything you need. How about a job?”

“A job...” I blink.
