The guy met their gaze. “Don’t get comfortable, boys.” And then his gaze settled onto Ulises. “Well, you lasted longer than most, didn’t you?”
“Fuck off, Cain,” Izzy growled.
Ulises’ memories came back to him.
They were of Cain sitting on Izzy’s lap.
You were fucking him at the same time you were fucking me.Something about the realization made Ulises feel dirty. He wanted to shower their past off him. If he let it wash down the drain, he could forget everything that had come before mating.
He waited for Izzy to deny it. When he didn’t his heart sank.
He thought he’d worked through it until the reminder of it walked into the club ahead of them. His contentment disappeared along with his good mood.
BossMan7 stared at Ulises. “Hello, Magic Man.”
Ulises couldn’t muster a smile.
“What’s wrong, boy? You don’t have anything useful to say.” BossMan7’s seemed calculated. “I’d keep him close if I were you. You just never know who’s going to steal him out from under your nose.”
Izzy tried to go after him, but Skippy was the bouncer for the evening. Izzy backed off when Skippy stepped between them.
Cain’s smile was wicked as though he were going in for the kill. He tapped his neck. “Izzy is full of surprises.”
And with that they turned and paid the door fee before entering.
Izzy’s jaw muscles jumped as they made their way inside. “I wasn’t going to kill them,” he mumbled to Skippy.
“No fighting in the club. You know that.” Skippy met Ulises’ gaze and smiled. “Hey, Ulises. You look like you’re feeling better. Sort of. Y’all are mated, huh? Congrats.”
“Thank you.” Ulises didn’t feel as though it was something to celebrate anymore. He tried to pull out of Izzy’s hold, but Izzy wouldn’t allow it. “I’m sitting at the bar.”
“Those guys gave me the creeps. We should stay together.” Todd needed his help to navigate the club. At least for the first few times. It might be a safe space but with the biker culture that was almost a separate thing from the dragon culture, it wasn’t the easiest group to become a part of.
Ulises stopped fighting Izzy. For the time being anyway. He was still bound and determined to get drunk. Pickling himself in alcohol seemed like a good idea.
Skippy grabbed his arm as they made their way inside. His gaze darted to Izzy and then back to Ulises again. “What put that look on your face?”
“Izzy fucked Cain at the same time he was fucking me. Makes me feel less than.” And Ulises had always been less than everyone else. He’d wasn’t a good warlock because his magic was all messed up and he was weird because of the tumors. He even got the flu like humans did all because he was a weird fucked up paranormal.
Since he got the pity party started, he wanted to run with it.
Izzy cursed. “Baby.”
Ulises headed for the bar. “If you need me, I’ll be over there.”
Izzy would have to help Todd for a while. At least until Ulises got drunk enough to forget the past.
“Get back here, boy.”
Ulises turned and met Izzy’s gaze. “I bet you’re regretting mating with me now, huh?”
“Ulises. Stop. Right now.”
“You had a choice, and you chose wrong. You could have chosen the other guy you were fucking. He’s probably not all messed up like me. But Todd is normal, so one out of two isn’t bad, right?”
Todd was the one who stepped between us, wrapping his arms around Ulises, hold him close.
Skippy stood and closed the door on someone who tried to enter the club. “Wait outside.”
