"Gentlemen, welcome. As you're new I'll introduce myself once... I'm Tony Hemingford, this is my delectable hostess Diamond. She can get you anything you want in this club.
"I trust that you will follow the code of conduct and enjoy all we have to offer including your membership benefits. I have some work to do. Diamond will take care of you from here." Tony bent down between Pieter and Jerome and whispered, "One paw out of place and I'll kill first and ask questions later."
Jerome looked Tony in the eyes. 'She's mine. The only reason I won't touch is that her safety means more to me. I've kept my hands off for five years big brother. We both know control isn't my problem.'
Tony grinned an evil grin. Pieter cleared his throat and spoke, "Totally understood Mr. H."
Tony and Jerome were still locked in a staredown. Jerome smirked. He looked at Gaby. "Diamond, come give Pieter a lap dance." His words were almost a purr.
Her eyes widened and looked at Tony. Tony rolled his eyes. "Don't be foolish. Diamond, give the big bad Alpha a lap dance. Go wild, he can't touch you even if you want him to. Beta, I suggest you draw the curtains and keep your Alpha from being tempted. We wouldn't want him to be another weak Alpha thinking with his-," Tony's upper lip curled up in disgust. He could already smell the Alpha's body betray him. He grinned and laughed evilly as Pieter drew the curtains.
Gaby sat on Jerome's lap. She felt him tense. She couldn't not do it. Tony would be watching.
A heavy baseline blared through the speakers. Pieter smiled at her and then turned his back to them. He felt Jerome's unease and gently flowed power to his Alpha.
Gaby rolled her hips as she held onto his knees. She was afraid to look at him and yet she wanted to watch him. She peeked at him through her eyelashes over her shoulder.
She had his undivided attention. She could tell he was battling True Nature because his eyes brightened and darkened as he watched her. She let her hand go down her body from her breast to her hip and she heard his breath hitch.
Knowing Tony was watching and Pieter would be close she threw caution to the wind and stepped away from Jerome. Her curves were in a bodysuit that left just enough to the imagination while covering her arms in opaque black material. Her pants had sections above and below her knees that were covered by diagonally crossing pieces of string. Her heels were ridiculously high.
"Lose my breath" by Destiny's Child came on and she got off his lap and used the table as her stage. Her body on the table as the undulations of her body rose and fell; watching her ass rise and fall in front of his face as her legs opened and closed to the beat did something to Jerome. His nails dug into the wood of the chair.
She put her foot in between his legs and stood to his side before putting his head between her legs. Her arousal which he'd been acknowledging minimally was thrust in his face before she pushed his head back. Her curves were put before him and pulled away from him. She ended the lap dance with her hands on his knees and her butt in his face.
Jerome closed his eyes. 'Inhale'. His body listened. 'Okay. Now exhale.' His body cooperated. 'Again, good.'
Gaby watched him splinter the chair's arms trying to control himself. She had seen him battle True Nature before but never because he wanted her. His pheromones were calling to her and she was careful to stand next to Pieter who had a sheen of sweat on his brow.
'I'm sorry Alpha. If I don't do what he says they hurt the other girls and I'm forced to tend their wounds. Please tell your mate I'm sorry.'
Jerome looked at her and smiled. His canines gleamed. "Don' worry Bebe, I'll take care of it." He watched her chest heave up and down. 'All night, if I have to, when I fully claim you,' he thought to himself.
His island accent gave her goosebumps. He smiled seeing his effect on her. Seeing his effect on her body felt so good.
Pieter turned around and smiled. "Thank you for the intense welcome Diamond! 'Ro really enjoyed it. I'm sure we're going to be regulars, right boss?"
Jerome's grin turned predatory as he nodded. He then looked at the chair he'd broken and smiled sweetly at Gaby. "I seem to have forgotten my manners. Would you please see about getting me a new one?"
Gaby nodded. She opened the curtains. The whole club suddenly became more alive. Some customers seeing Gaby without Tony started clamoring in her direction.
Jerome stood up, put her behind him, and shook his head just as security cordoned off their section of VIP with living bodies. A new chair was brought to replace the broken one and business went on as usual.
Her hands on his back kept Jerome from destroying the place. He couldn't think of letting her do what she just did for anyone else. He knew that Tony had allowed him to have her like that to tease him, specifically.
He doubted Tony let his hostess dance like that for anyone. There was a strict policy that no one got anything from his hostess without Tony's okay. Tony's scent was all over Gaby but it didn't irritate him the way it had when he'd walked in.
He gently went through Gaby's mind sifting through the last few weeks. He pieced together a few aspects of the chain that they hadn't been able to work out. She swayed with confusion.
Tony strode back towards them with a grin. "Alpha Wilder, I'm so disappointed, you didn't even sniff her up close. Was Diamond not to your tastes?"
"Diamond is perfect, tell your other properties not to touch me. I have a very jealous mate and while I don't mind disrespectful women being put in their place I have better uses for my mate's energy." Jerome smirked. "How much do you want for her?"
"Well," Tony grinned looking at his fingernails. "I think we could start at 5 million. That should tide me over for as long as it takes to train a new hostess without any loss of profits. That lap dance will be charged to your account. You know my rates." He turned to Gaby. "Let's go to my office my Sweet. I have your favorite snack ready."
Jerome growled lowly. Tony rolled his eyes and gave Gaby his arm. She took it and excused herself from the VIP section.
As they left a few others from the rest of VIP came towards them. A group of frat boys boldly approached them. The boldest stepped up to Jerome.
"Isn't Diamond amazing? What did you do to get Tony to give you the lap dance?"
Jerome knew that his pack was known for its beautiful women and its wealth. These wolves were not aware of who he was. He smiled.
"Your entire tuition for all four years of your first degree."
The frat boy nodded, "You know, you smell like an Alpha. Not just any Alpha but top two tiers."
Jerome grinned. "Diamond is fucking amazing. She'll do that to a brother."
The frat boy nodded. "Makes sense. You're just her type. Fuck, you look just like the guy she described to me. How many Masters Degrees do you have?"
Jerome raised a brow. These guys were too damn nosey. "Six."
The boys' jaws dropped. Pieter chuckled. "Okay Peewees, time's up. I'm sure you can take a tour of Alpha Wilder's pack some time if you want to know more." He herded them out of VIP.
Pieter came back and found his Alpha surveying the scene. "Boss, you good?"
Jerome nodded. She was okay, she touched him and he was getting her back. He was better than okay.
"I honestly don't know how you didn't dry hump her while she danced for you," Pieter said aloud. 'I was freaking out when you started having images of licking her core. I think I'm scarred for life by the way. I now know what the Luna looks like naked.'
Jerome sighed. 'That was pure imagination. I have no idea what she looks like fully nude. I'm sorry you had to experience that. I've never wanted anyone or anything so much. I almost gave in.'
"She's so fucking sexy." Jerome finally said out loud.
Pieter grinned. This mission was so about to be over. They finished the rest of their surveillance and noted just how many of the girls they knew about were working in this club. When they stepped out they looked like regular drunk patrons of the club.
As soon as they were in the car Jerome rounded up his team. By the time they got back to their hotel suite, Commander Weiss was waiting for them. Jerome was fully in control and everyone knew it.
The next few days would be data and evidence collection. If no one made a mistake, they'd have everything they needed to shut down the operation for good. Jerome was ready to have his mate, nothing was going to mess that up for him.
