It’s past midnight, and we’re still at Ansel’s stupid party. By now, music pounds through the speakers, and sweaty bodies move against each other. On the other end of the room my little penguin shifter dances with the crowd of omegas who adopted him earlier in the night. Nobody is growling. Nobody is giving him side eye. And Ansel isn’t even by his side anymore. He’s watching the crowd with me.

One of the omegas grabs Lewis’s ass, and I flinch.

Ansel places a calming hand on my shoulder. “Don’t worry. That’s Marney. He doesn’t swing both ways. He’s just being friendly.”

I’ve never had a problem with how… touchy polar bear shifters are. But now that Lewis is dancing in the middle of a crowd of people who all have wandering hands, I’m on edge.

“Todd, you need to loosen up. Or, you know, tell everyone. They’ll keep their hands off if they know he’s yours.”

I shake my head. “We’re waiting for his Pebble Gifting Season.”

Ansel takes a sip of his martini. He doesn’t say anything for a few minutes, but I know he will eventually. There’s no way Ansel isn’t going to respond to something like that.

“So you’re serious about this?” he finally asks.

I shove my hands in my pockets and nod.

“Well, I like him. He’s sweet. Like you.”

I laugh. “I’m not sweet.”

Ansel smiles at me. “Yeah, you are.”

He might be right. When it comes to Lewis, that is. Who is now holding yet another drink. That’s number three. Lewis can’t handle three drinks. That doesn’t stop him from taking a big swallow of it.

Fuck. Why can’t he ever drink slowly?

An alpha named Rich eggs him on to drink the rest and grabs his naked waist. My whole body tenses. I force myself to stay back.

“You’re growling. Just so you know,” Ansel says.

“He’s pawing at my mate. What am I supposed to do?”

After Lewis finishes his drink, more than a dozen people watch in shock as Rich guides Lewis into a dance with him. Rich seems too drunk to care. He’s stumbling around with Lewis in his arms, and Lewis is simply standing there as still as possible, clearly unsure what to do.

Ansel hands me his drink. “Before you go charging over there, let me take a shot at this, okay?”

He’s right. If I go over there, I’m bound to expose my relationship with Lewis. I’m too riled up right now. But watching someone else rescue my omega is hard.

Ansel walks over to Rich and says something in his ear. Rich stiffens, and his hands fly off of Lewis like he’s a hot potato. The second he lets Lewis go, Lewis bolts across the front room. For a moment I wonder if he’s going to throw his arms around me.

He stops right in front of me and murmurs, “Will you take me home?”

Finally. “Yes. Where are your clothes?”

“The bathroom.”

I walk with him back to Ansel’s bathroom. I close the door behind us, not caring what anyone thinks at this point. Lewis’s clothes are neatly folded on the counter.
