Desiring the Dancer

By Lilly Avalon

I’m not looking forward to my stepsister’s bachelorette party.

Valerie told our parents that it would be a small group of her closest friends at their beach house. A simple and classy affair, nothing extravagant. Instead, the guests have tripled, there’s a caterer, and at some point there will be strippers.

It’s going to be a disaster... then I meet Aiden.

He’s a cute waiter passing out the drinks. He’s sweet and I’m smitten. We can’t stop staring at each other from across the room. This mutual attraction is undeniable. There’s one other thing that’s undeniable, though.

Aiden is also the entertainment.

Desiring the Dancer

Carlie Coleman is not looking forward to her stepsister’s bachelorette party.

It was supposed to be a simple affair with a small group of Valerie’s closest friends at their parents’ beach house. Instead, the guests have tripled, there’s a fancy caterer, and at some point there will be strippers.

It’s going to be a disaster… until she meets the cute waiter.

Aiden Carter is sweet and she’s smitten. They can’t stop staring at each other from across the room. Their mutual attraction is undeniable. Before the night is over, she discovers something else.

The cute waiter is also the entertainment.

Chapter One

When's my stripper getting here?

Good Lord. I pull the last two champagne flutes from the cupboard and set them on the marble counter on the kitchen island. Holding back a heavy sigh, I reply, I thought you didn't want one.

Valerie rolls her eyes, brushing by me as she walks to the refrigerator. I changed my mind. Can't a person change their mind, Carlie?

Of course they can. It's just funny that you waited until the night of your bachelorette party to do so. Yes, you're allowed to change your mind.

So, you'll get me one?

What? I spin around, my jaw practically dropping.

What do you mean? She grabs a bottle of water from the fridge and chugs it.

Um, we're less than two hours from the party and I'm the one who's supposed to locate, book, and pay for a stripper? I'd like to say she's unbelievable, but this isn't out of the ordinary for my stepsister. I wouldn't even know where to start, I say finally.

I'm sure you could Google it. Oh! Valerie snaps her fingers. Myra got one for Cora for her birthday last year. Maybe she can put you in touch with them. She waves a hand and walks outside, her blonde hair flying behind her. Thanks, sis!

I stare after her, watching her walk down to the beach. Frustration builds up inside of me. It's unfair of Valerie to expect all of this from me. I doubt she'd be willing to put any effort if I were the one getting married. After all, I'm only her stepsister.

I make a fist and release it. Gotta focus. First, I need to call Myra, hope to God she has that number on hand, and cross my fingers they're available for a last-minute booking.

Myra answers after one ring. What does Bridezilla need now?

Valerie's best friend already knows the drill. According to her, you're the one who can put me in touch with a stripper.

"I knew it! I knew she would want one last minute."

Do you have a number for them?
