“Can I make one suggestion though?”

He nodded, nose brushing my earlobe.

“How about if I go downstairs and make us a big breakfast then bring it up here. We can eat in bed then take a long nap.”

Rowan sat up and grinned down at me. “No wonder I picked you out of all the other doms at the club.”

“You what?” I tried not to laugh, my dom side trying to decide whether it needed to take over the conversation.

“I picked you out. Who would I want but the best?”

“And we haven’t even scened yet. You did want to try that, right?”

“In your playroom?”

“Deal.” I pulled him down on top of me. “But if you ever feel ready to try out the main floor, it will be with nobody but me, got it?”

“Mm-hmm. What’s for breakfast, Sir?”

“It’s a surprise.” I kissed him on the lips and rolled him to the side, giving him a quick smack on the bottom before sitting up. “You’ll have to wait and see.”

I was as happy naked in my own home as the next man, but for cooking, I pulled on a pair of boxers. What we’d be eating would be as big a surprise to me as to him. Since we’d been working on the club, I’d pretty much given up eating at home, so I wasn’t sure what might be in the freezer or the pantry. If I didn’t manage to find anything, I’d just have to call for delivery. But my wolf really loved the idea of cooking for our omega.

Turned out, I had sausage links in the freezer and a box of add-water pancake mix as well as butter-flavored syrup in the pantry. Since I had no butter, that was a necessary element. A half hour later, I had a tray laden with food and coffee ready to take up to my omega. One thing I always had on hand was the essentials for a good cup of coffee. Dark-roasted beans, whipping cream, and raw sugar crystals.

I found him asleep again but he heard me enter and opened his eyes. “Pancakes, alpha? You’re the best.”

That made it harder to take him home and drop him off that afternoon. I missed him from the moment the door closed behind him, but at least I could look forward to seeing him again tonight.

Chapter Eleven

Rowan

Cuffed felt different that night. The air was charged with even more sexual energy than usual. There was a new DJ. The music had strong bass. There was something about even the music making everyone, well, I didn’t really know. But the atmosphere was charged with an inexplicable energy.

Talon called me to the office as soon as I walked into the employee entrance. He kissed me stupid and said he wanted to make sure my cuff was on.

He wanted me to deliver him a drink later and promised that my tip would be fantastic.

Several times that night, I saw him come out of his office, putting out some fires. There was an altercation in one of the private rooms, and Talon intercepted the drama despite having a security team.

He even took a seat in the corner booth and watched me work. He must’ve had a dozen males approach him, some even being so bold as to sit next to him, only to be dismissed immediately.

Talon hadn’t even looked their way.

“I take it the date went well?” Samuel sidled up to me and waggled his eyebrows.

I snorted. “I don’t know if I’m supposed to say anything. Talon is our boss.”

Samuel shrugged. “I won’t tell. Come on. Every available omega in this place has slick dreams about Talon and meeting all his needs. Give me something.”

My wolf snarled a bit inside me. “I think I’m not going to divulge. There are some things in life that should stay private and personal.”

“I can respect that,” Samuel said. “I can tell how it went anyway. Look at you. You’re glowing. You’ve been smiling while drying the glasses, and no one smiles while doing that mundane work. You keep glancing to the corner booth. He’s sitting there, watching your every move, Rowan. I’m telling myself that the date went well. I’m happy for you.”

I nodded. “Thank you.”

I took a large order for a table that the other servers seemed to be avoiding. I liked to help them when I could, if I had time. Plus, sometimes the tipsier people were, the more generous they became with their tips. Not that I’d seen many overdrinking here.
