He nced at the menu and then back at me without taking it.
"You''re telling me with everything on this menu, you''re going to get a cobb sd and wine?" He asked, his brows raised.
My cheeks flushed, but I wasn''t going to back down.
"Yes," I said, though even I didn''t sound very convincing to myself.
He put his menu down and turned to face me, his scrutiny burning into the side of my face as I fought to keep my eyes from finding his.
"Judy, look at me," he ordered, his tone calm and almost sultry. My cheeks flushed even more; why was I suddenly so nervous around him?
I nced up at him awkwardly, my eyes finding his.
He reached out, and tucked a strand of hair behind my hair, his touch surprisingly gentle and it left me almost breathless. His fingers lingered on my cheek for a moment, and I had to fight the urge to lean into him.
"When youe here with your friends, what do you usually order," he asked, his tone low and his eyes never leaving mine.
I let out a breath, surprised by his question.
"How did you know I came here with my friends?" I asked in a breathless whisper.
He smirked, his eyes crinkling in the corners.
"Because I''ve done my research before deciding where to take you," he replied. "Now answer my question."
I bit my lower lip and again, chewing on it nervously.
"Bite your lip again and I''ll bend you over this table and give everyone in here a real show," he said darkly, his tone husky, sending a jolt right between my legs.
I gawked at him, my face heating with embarrassment. I released my lip with a sudden pop and licked it as I looked at the menu.
"Tell me what you normally order," he said again, his tone even lower this time.
"A pulled pork sandwich with extra pickles and fries with garlic butter and parmesan cheese and an alcoholic root beer float," my voice was rushed and soft as I averted my eyes from his. I didn''t want to see his reaction.
He put his menu down without saying a word, just as the waiter arrived.
"Good evening, Alpha Landry and his date," he began politely. "I am Marcus, your waiter for the evening. It''s an honor to be at your service and please, if you need anything at all, don''t hesitate to tell me."

Gavin nodded at him, his expression stoic and leaving no hint of what he was thinking or feeling.
Marcus pulled out his tablet, ready to enter our order into the system.
"Can I start you off with something to drink? We have an excellent wine selection and-"
"Actually, I think we are ready to order," Gavin told him.
Marcus''s eyes shed with surprise and then he smiled with a nod.
"Of course, Alpha," he said getting his tablet ready. “I should have known you''d know exactly what you wanted for wine. I''m assuming the most expensive brand."
Gavin nodded.
"Bring us that yes, but we are also getting something else," he told him.
Marcus''s eyes shed excitedly; he could already taste therge tip that Gavin was going to leave him at the end of this meal no doubt.
"What else can I get you?" He asked.
"We''d like to order two alcoholic root beer floats,” he shocked me by saying. I nced at him surprised. Marcus put that in the tablet.
"Excellent choice, Sir. That''s a fan favorite for sure," Marcus hummed as he tapped away on the tablet.
"We are also ready to order," Gavin told him. Marcus nodded to him to go ahead. "We would like two pulled pork sandwiches, both with extra pickles, and two orders of garlic parmesan fries." swnovel
My mouth fell open.
Marcus nodded again as he quickly tapped that into the tablet.
"Another excellent choice. You won''t be disappointed," Marcus said as he lifted
his gaze. "I''ll get that to you right away."
"Oh, and Mary''s," Gavin said before he could walk away. "Can you rush out an order of Mozzare balls and Pretzel bites as well?” Gavin nced at me his eyes dark and a smirk ying on his lips. "I''m feeling extra hungry tonight." swnovel
