Todd put the pastry in front of Ulises and gave him a napkin. "He needed my help rescuing Mitch. Afterward, he offered me a place to stay and a job."
Todd watched Ulises take a bite of the pastry. In particular, Todd watched his pretty lips. His cock got a little hard when Ulises moaned as he chewed.
Ulises set the pastry down. "This is so good. Salty and cheesy. Amazing."
Todd was never more thankful the island hid his erection or the way he adjusted himself through his jeans. Todd cleared his throat. "Would you go out with me?"
"Like a date?"
"A date. I'm not sure where we'll go. I'm new around here." And stupid because they were co-workers. The last thing he needed was to lose the best job he'd ever had but the words were out in the universe. He should have retracted the offer of a date but he found himself giving suggestions. "Dancing maybe."
Ulises seemed hopeful right up until Todd suggested dancing. "I'm sorry. I can't do anything that strenuous. I have a medical condition."
"Okay. What is there to do around here?"
"How about we keep it simple. Dinner. And if we want to continue the date there's a riverwalk that's nice. It would give us a chance to get to know each other better." Ulises took another bite of the pastry and moaned. "So good."
He had to get through a whole dinner with Ulises who made sex noises when he ate. He wanted a subscription for that. He would watch nine seasons of Ulises eating. It might be pure torture but it would be so worth it..
So Todd had a date with his gorgeous co-worker. He just hoped history wouldn't repeat itself.
Chapter Twelve
Ulises checked the time on his phone before going back to the dating app. He waited just outside the gate for Izzy. Answering the third guy's message gave him something to do while he waited.
Izzy was late. It was wearing on his nerves, driving him mad.
The guy's message didn't help. It was a little forward.
ABillionReasons787: You're the perfect boy for me. Do you live in the Duchester area?
At first, Ulises wasn't going to respond to him. How did he get to know someone who thought he was perfect even though they had never met? And asking him where he lived put him on alert. It would have been okay after a message exchange but it was the first message he'd sent.
Then he'd sent a series of messages after Ulises didn't respond right away. They made demands. It was as if the guy had forgotten he was a complete stranger.
ABillionReasons787: Are you going to keep me waiting?
ABillionReasons787: Answer me.
ABillionReasons787: Now, boy.
And so it went until Ulises thought telling him to fuck off was the best. But then he second-guessed himself, like he always did.
Maybe he should ask Easton what he thought since he was going into the office for an exam anyway. He could also wait until he got to Easton and Gavin's house later, since he was staying with them.
With the plan in place, he dialed Izzy's number instead of answering the message.
Izzy answered on the first ring. "I'll be there in less than a minute."
"You're late, Izzy."
"By a couple of minutes. I'll get you there on time. I promise."
Izzy pulled up a second later so Ulises ended the call. He got into Izzy's truck and fastened the seatbelt. "Drive, Jeeves."
Izzy chuckled. "You're spunky today."
"I'm spunky every day."
