    The Alpha's Pulse
     
    Chapter 1
     
    Vance watched the curvy bartender move back and forth behind the bar. Damn, she was beautiful. Her jeans hugged her in all the right places. Breast strained through her button up top. He felt his cock harden just looking at her.
     
    He had just come from a show with his band. It had started as just a hobby with his buddies but they actually had some talent. After getting some small gigs, their fame grew steadily that they started going on tour last year, starting right here in town and going all the way to California. When they returned home to Lancaster, the state of Pennsylvania had welcomed them with love and local fame. Now he was the lead singer to a very “in demand” band. His band mates wanted a drink after the show to celebrate and they had found this little dive bar to pull into.
     
    It was dark and dingy and filled with girls wearing too much make-up and perfume. There were even a few bold enough to come over and offer themselves. He wasn’t interested although he seen a few of the guys go into the booths with a girl and throw up a blaeja-- a cloak that hid things from the human eye. Moans could be heard after that but not seen.
     
    He could only shake his head and continue sipping his drink.
     
    He had been ready to go soon after he came in. That was until he’d seen her come out the back carrying a case of beer. She’d immediately caught his attention and he sat back, ordering drinks he didn’t want.
     
    He watched her prance around the bar. Tight blue jeans hugged her thick thighs and ample breast all but spilled from the taut top. Her long black hair was up in a messy knot. Pouty lips and striking hazel eyes and creamy light caramel skin finished off her look.  Knocking back his drink, Vance got up and walked toward where she was serving a group of college girls. He sat down and looked directly at her. He wanted her in a bad way and he would have her. He smiled as he thought of what was to come that night. If things went his way, he would have this curvy woman crying his name before dawn.

    Elissa was tired. It was all she could do to stand up straight. She just worked a double shift and had one hour left. The bar was starting to empty, with just some girls in the corner, a few men playing pool and an older couple who only had eyes for each other. Oh yeah and Mr. Tall and Sexy at the end of the bar.
     
    The man was gorgeous. His hair was brown and fell around his shoulders. His eyes were so grey they could have been stone. He was tall. Or at least he looked it. Muscles everywhere. He was sexy and he knew it.
     
    He’d been eyeing her since she came on the floor, his gaze following every move she made. Even when she wasn’t looking at him she felt his eyes. Something about him said she had seen him before but she couldn’t place where. Walking over to where he sat, she wiped the counter in front of him.
     
    "Can I get you anything else, love?”
     
    The smile he gave her made heat pool between her thighs.
     
    “Yes you can sweetheart.”
     
    The way he said it made her think he was talking about more than just alcohol. He was looking at her like he could see right through her clothes. Her nipples hardened at the thought instantly.
     
    What the hell is wrong with you Elissa? He just wants another Gin and Tonic.
     
    Pulling herself together, she put her hands on the bar and waited. A slow smile spread across the man's face. Licking his lips, he asked. “What time are you off?
     
    “Who's asking?”
     
    “The only person who matters, sweetheart.”
     
    “Is that right?” She blushed, actually blushed. “Well if you don’t want a drink…” She let the sentence trail off, waited a few more seconds, and walked away, reminding everyone else that it was last call.
     
    Closing the bar up was always a tedious job, but she was ready to go so she hurried through it. Glancing around her, she checked to see who was left in the
