"Ulises," Izzy called after him but he darted inside the glass doors where the pool was. "Damn it."
Izzy went inside too but stopped when he saw Seryn and Mitchell sitting on the couch. They were still in their pajamas.
Ulises disappeared around the corner.
Seryn smiled in the way that was scary. "Why are you here?"
"I dropped Ulises off for work."
"I mean, why are youhere?" Seryn pointed to the living room floor.
"I chased Ulises inside your house." Izzy held up his hand when Seryn started to comment. "Before you kill me you need to know the finer details."
"I do just fine without the particulars."
Mitchell chuckled. "He's joking. He won't really kill you."
Seryn sighed. "Ireallywill if you don't fix the problem."
Izzy decided to talk to his mate first. He'd deal with Ulises later, when he could figure out what the hell he wanted. "Just so you know, I'll be around way more. Your new chef is my mate."
Seryn swore. "If you make it my problem, I'll fix the issue and it won't be in a way you'll want."
Izzy waved in acknowledgement as he left the room, knowing he'd fuck it up. The situation was one big clusterfuck. Topping it all off was the fact that he didn't want to be in a relationship with anyone, yet he’d pursued Ulises through that stupid dating app as though he did.
Multiple scents assaulted him at the same time. Cinnamon and bread made him feel warm inside. The bergamot overrode all other scents in the room.
Izzy took in the pretty blond man standing at the kitchen island before he took in the dark-haired one sitting on the stool sipping coffee. Neither of them saw him so he observed themfor a moment. His dragon protested, roaring in his mind. His dragon wanted to take him somewhere private so they could bond.
Todd rolled his eyes. "Evan, I'm only asking because it's not something I noticed about myself before. At least not to the extent of being in a certain lifestyle anyway."
"Daddy kink. Right. Well, it's been a while, but I can kind of see it, actually." Evan smiled behind his cup of coffee.
Todd sighed and cursed under his breath. "I really like him."
"Sorry, man." Evan set the cup on the counter. "If it makes you feel better, I've seen him around the house, and he seems really nice. Very cute. But he gives off Bottom vibes. So the sex would be awkward."
"That doesn’t make me feel better at all, actually." Todd rolled his eyes.
The conversation was making Izzy feral. Or maybe that was being so close to his mate and not touching him.
Izzy walked further into the room, making his presence known.
Todd sucked in a breath when he saw Izzy. He gave Izzy a very slow twice-over, licking his lips while he did.
Izzy closed the distance between them. He darted his gaze to the other guy, Evan, who made him mad with jealousy for very irrational reasons. "Get out."
Evan scowled and stood but didn't leave the room. "Who the fuck are you?"
Izzy growled and let his hands shift into claws. He wrapped an arm around Todd and lifted him off his feet. "Hang on, sweetheart."
Todd wrapped his arms around Izzy's neck without a word. He sighed as if he'd been waiting to be close to Izzy his whole life. The tension left his body.
Izzy smiled. He probably looked like a maniac with his fangs on display. "Hello, beautiful."
Todd smiled even as his cheeks turned pink. "Hi."
"I won't hurt you. Just want you to know that." Izzy darted his gaze to Evan, growling. "Him, I will hurt if he doesn't leave this room in the next five fucking seconds."
