Chapter 21
Roman took the opportunity to hand over a bottle of wine. “Alpha Knight, why don’t you let Taya pour a glass of wine for you.”
Roman had wanted to see me undress in front of everyone, but he quickly realized that I was his date and that he had publi cly referred to me as his girlfriend. He would look like a foo l if I took my clothes off in front of everyone-especially an Alpha.
