“You don’t have to explain yourself to us, Conrad.” Evangeline pushes to her feet. “But it sounds like you’re saying yes to a movie and cuddles?”

“I am, and maybe there are other things we can do besides sex, right?” That makes both of their faces light up, and I feel lighter.

This was the right decision.

I stand, pulling Evangeline under one arm and wrapping the other around Koda’s waist as we head inside. Tonight might seem dull to other people, but it’s just what I need.

Chapter Thirty-three

Evangeline

“Remind me why I thought it was a good idea to have the men go on a date with me on the same night?” I ask, exasperation clear in my tone as I glance around the table at Koda, Jagger, Ronan, and Gavin. “There’s entirely too much testosterone in this room right now.”

Ronan throws his arm over my shoulders as Koda’s hand comes down on my thigh and squeezes. “That’s what you get for splitting me up from my beta.”

“Yeah, yeah, yeah.” I shake my head, hating that we practically have to yell over the music blasting through the club. I don’t know what Koda was thinking by planning a date night at a local club, Eternity. The place is super nice, and we have a VIP area to ourselves, but I can’t hear myself over the music. “Why is it so loud?”

“I can turn down the music,” Koda offers and my eyes narrow.

“You mean to tell me that the music could’ve been turned down at any time?” I keep my words even until he nods. “Then why the hell have we been listening to it so loudly? I’m too old for this shit.”

Koda winces, shooting me a sheepish grin. “Sorry, babe. I didn’t really notice. At the shop, the music is usually pretty loud, so I’m used to it. I’ll take care of it.”

He jumps off the couch and hurries over to the bar. It only takes a moment for the music to lower to a more reasonable level.

“Thank the gods,” I groan as I lean my head back.

Ronan chuckles. “You’re not that damn old, omega. I’ve got a few years on you, and Jagger has even more. Don’t start complaining about how old you are. This isn’t a game you’ll win.”

“Neither will you,” Jagger says with a chuckle. “And then we have Gavin and Koda, who are practically babies compared to us.”

Koda looks less than impressed as he makes his way back over to us. “Definitely not a baby. Babe, let’s dance.”

Wrinkling my nose, I shake my head. “No, thanks.”

“What?” Koda looks horrified that I’ve turned him down. “I know you like to dance.”

I shrug, biting back a smile as his eyes widen. “Yes, I like to dance, but I’m not ready to dance yet. Don’t let that stop you, though.”

“You want me to dance on my own?” He rolls his eyes. “That sounds like loads of fun.”

Ronan pushes to his feet. “Come on, Koda. I’ll dance with you.”

Koda’s whole face lights up as he grabs Ronan’s hand and drags him over to the small dance floor near the floor-to-ceiling windows. I lick my lips as Ronan’s hands land on Koda’s hips, pulling him closer until there’s no room between the two of them. Koda links his arms loosely over Ronan’s shoulder as the two of them move to the music. They look hot as hell as they move together, hips rolling and bodies constantly in contact.

A whimper falls from my lips unbidden. “Maybe I should’ve danced with them.”

Jagger chuckles. “Why, when we can just enjoy the show?”

I shuffle in my seat, trying to ignore the heat blazing through me. I can’t tear my eyes off the two of them.

“Are you feeling needy?” Jagger’s voice is husky against my ear. “I can take care of that for you, if you want.”

Tearing my eyes away from the dance floor, all I can do is blink up at Jagger for a moment as I try to process his words. Understanding sinks into me, and I shake my head. “As amazing as that sounds, I actually want to get to know all of you better. Sex is great, but it muddies up the water.”

Gavin chuckles from my other side, running a hand through my hair as I turn to face him. “You’re stronger than me, omega.”

I laugh nervously, jumping off the couch before clearing my throat. Yeah, having a date at a club was a terrible plan—especially in a secluded VIP area. I want nothing more than to take these men up on their offer, but I also know how easy it would be to sink into my omega needs and desires.
