Chapter Five

It felt like coming home, sitting next to Jory. It felt right, and it made things in Darius relax that he hadn’t even realized were tense and tight. His shoulders twanged with exquisite pleasure-pain when he raised his arm and waved to ask for another round.

Jory grinned at him, points of mischief dancing in his eyes. “Need a massage?”

“Too much jerking off,” Darius told him, straight-faced, only laughing when Jory threw a handful of popcorn at him. “You get your kinks worked out already?”

“I might have. And even if I hadn’t, I exorcised my -- everything -- being a hormonal asshole yesterday,” Jory said as he stood. He offered Darius a hand up. “C’mon. The beer can wait. We need to get you limbered up.”

Ideas danced in Darius’s head, none of them particularly PG-rated.

Jory hooted at him. “Mind out of the gutter, Alpha!” He pointed at the dart board, empty of players. “Two out of three, and the loser buys tonight’s rounds?”

Any other night, Darius would have said yes and been on his feet already. Tonight… He shook his head. “Maybe later.”

“How come? You love darts.”

“I’d rather be here with you,” Darius said simply, because it was true. He kicked Jory’s shin lightly. “And I’ve got plans for getting us both warmed up and worn out later that don’t involve bar games.”

Jory’s cheeks bloomed a beautiful red. Darius watched him duck his head, enjoying the view, content to be lazy and indulge in watching him color with pleasure. He’d missed that, this week. He’d only had it for one weekend, granted, but it’d already become something of an addiction.

And that could be a problem if he let it. Jory wasn’t in love with him, for Pete’s sake. He’d asked Darius because Darius was his best friend. He imagined Jory had thought just as much about him as he had about Jory this past week, but it wasn’t vanity. It was only natural. It was chemistry.

Speaking of which… Darius scented the air as subtly as he could. Still just a tang of suppressants clung to Jory.

“I know,” Jory said, downing a gulp of his fresh beer. He looked dejected now. “I can’t figure why it’s taking so long for them to clear.”

Darius caught Jory’s wrist and gave it a gentle squeeze before he could get any farther with that train of thought. “It wasn’t a criticism.”

“Not from you. From me?” Jory made a face. “I can’t shake the feeling that I’m doing something wrong. Like I’ve missed a step somehow and I won’t get where I want to go until I sort it out.”

Darius clicked his tongue to get Jory’s attention, then batted him lightly on the head. “And that’s because you think too much. Come on. I changed my mind. Let’s play darts after all.”

Jory could have said no. Darius didn’t think he would have. But just in case, he put a touch of the Alpha in his voice, when he asked, and had the pleasure of seeing Jory’s eyes dilate.
