“Jason, stay behind a moment, if you please.”

Urho paused in slipping on his coat and gave Vale a sharp look. “Is that wise?”

Rosen and Yosef had left fifteen minutes earlier in a taxi, burdened with the serving dishes, cutlery, and cookware Rosen had used. Either Vale didn’t own any of his own or what he had didn’t meet Rosen’s requirements. Regardless, once they’d loaded in the bags of kitchen items, there hadn’t been room in the taxi for Urho, too.

Jason leaned back against the wall, rolling his shoulder blades flat so that he didn’t slouch, but still trying to give a loose, casual impression. Calculated, sure, but he wanted Vale to feel safe and if he stiffened up, he’d be sent out into the cold with Urho for sure. The alpha quell was waning, and he felt the tug of the imprint stronger than he had in days.

Vale glanced his way and smiled with that secret warmth Jason had seen in his eyes ever since he’d bested Urho at dinner. “Your taxi is waiting, Urho.”

One of Urho’s dark brows lifted and his strong jaw clenched. “I’ve been charged with delivering him to his parents safely.”

“His parents never asked you to provide that chivalry.”

“No, you did.”

“And I’ve changed my mind. Just call me an indecisive omega.”

Urho’s eyes widened. Jason almost felt sorry for him. But then he remembered that Urho’d had his cock up Vale’s delicious ass, and he hated him all over again. But he refused to let that show. Vale needed him to be an adult, someone who got along with his friends, and that’s the person he was determined to become. Jealousy was instinctual in an alpha, sure, but his intellect was too strong to allow his most base nature to rule him.

“Don’t forget your hat,” Vale said, plopping the black, pompous-looking beret on Urho’s head with a smirk. Urho hadn’t been forgiven for his remarks over dinner yet. Vale was going to make him work for it, and Jason was okay with that.

“I think you should reconsider, Vale. This isn’t a joke and it—”

“It isn’t your concern unless I make it your concern.” He tilted his head, pale neck gleaming in the low light of the hallway lamps. Jason wanted to lick it. “I’ll see you soon, Urho. Thank you for coming to dinner.”

“Thank you for having me,” Urho murmured, voice tight, and his expression tangled.

Jason worked to keep his own face neutral. He fought the urge to sneer, all smarmy and mocking. Yes, no matter what Urho wanted, it wasn’t his call. Jason would stay here and speak alone with Vale. It was his right as Vale’s alpha. His right to be with him and to touch him—

No.

He wasn’t going to let himself go down that mental path. He was strong and intelligent and his instinct wasn’t half as important as Vale’s smile. Which now turned to him as the door shut on Urho’s reluctantly retreating back.

“It’s snowing,” Vale said softly.

“Yeah?”

“Big fat flakes.” Vale’s lashes touched his cheekbones and then lifted slowly, the tiniest hint of seduction in his gaze.
