Ivo stared at his phone. Then he exchanged a look with Ace, who had a smile spreading across his face.

“I’m thinking he has his hands full right now,” Ace drawled.

“Maybe his butt,” Harvey whispered.

Ivo bit his lip and typed another message.

I hope you’re staying safe!!!!!

Nat didn’t reply.

“Duke will make itveryworth his while,” Ace promised.

Ivo frowned. “How do you know that?”

“My friends and I talk about sex.” Ace shrugged. “If anyone doesn’t make sure their omega comes hard, or a few times, or both, we knock it into their thick skulls.” Ace looked pointedly at him. “Do I satisfy you, sweetheart?”

Ivo blushed. “You don’t even need to ask that.”

Ace peered at the puddle of drying cum on the bed next to them. “I guess not.”

He cupped Ivo’s nape with his large hand, pressing his thumb to the crook of Ivo’s neck. Then he leaned in and kissed Ivo’s ear. “Where would you like to have my bonding mark?”

Ivo’s heart stuttered. “I-I’m not ready to answer that yet!”

Or maybe he was. Ace smiled anyway, dropping a kiss on Ivo’s temple. “That’s okay. I’ll wait for you to be ready. In the meantime, would you like to see my hoard?”

A DRAGON’S MOST PRECIOUS TREASURE

Ace heldhis breath until Ivo nodded, his eye wide and curious.

“Why haven’t you shown it to me before?” Ivo whispered. “It’s been weeks.”

Ace blushed a little. “Everyone talks about how dragon hoards are full of gold.”

“But...?”

“But mine isn’t.” Ace huffed. “In fact, it’s a hoard of the most useless thing.”

Ivo blinked and waited for Ace to elaborate. Ace’s face warmed further; he wrapped an arm around his mate and tugged him to the centermost room of the mansion, sealed by a set of double steel doors.

Ace breathed a stream of fire onto the sensor by the doors—first a warm orange flame, some hotter white flames, then orange, white again, and the hottest blue flames.

The sensor blinked green. The heavy steel doors slid open with a hiss, and Ace held his breath.

Rows upon rows of bookcases crowded the room. Like Harvey had said, there was barely space in here for Ace’s dragon self to spread his wings.

Ivo’s eye lit up. The next moment, it clouded with confusion, and he took a careful step forward. “Wait. What... are these?” He stopped in front of the nearest bookcase and picked up a thick book. “A Comprehensive Guide to Windongs 1998? Your Introduction to McApple?”
