Chapter 18

Mac

It wasn’t until he was leading Lex and Imani into his place that Mac made a horrific realization. He lived in the quintessential bachelor pad.

His one-bedroom apartment was full of mismatched furniture, messy piles of items on every flat surface, and a few posters he’d tacked to the wall. If they looked in the fridge, all they’d find would be beer and condiments.

No, this wasn’t simply a bachelor pad. It was even worse; it was a dorm room. Not only was this place small, but it was beyond messy.

Lex had been here before and never said a thing. But now that they were lovers, Mac felt a new embarrassment at the state of the place. It was even worse to have Imani here. She must be accustomed to nicer things.

She didn’t say anything as she surveyed the living room with the ancient couch that tried to swallow anyone who sat on it and the stack of pizza boxes near the front door. The only thing he could see on her face was curiosity, but she had to be hiding disgust.

Having stayed here numerous times, Lex strode to the bedroom without hesitation. Mac let him go as Imani stepped up to stand next to him.

“I guess you don’t have people over very often,” she teased.

Feeling his face get hot from mortification, Mac hurried into the kitchen and grabbed the trash can. “Let me clean up a little.”

Batting off the lid, he started shoving everything in, including piles of clean clothes on the kitchen table that hadn’t been folded yet. His lack of discrimination between trash and not-trash quickly filled the bin. Reaching under the sink, he was relieved to find an entire roll of trash bags. There were enough bags here to put most of the apartment in the complex’s dumpsters. Honestly, that’s where it all belonged anyway.

“Um, are you throwing away your clothes?” Imani asked as she stepped up next to him.

“Gotta make this place presentable,” he grunted, knotting the top of a second trash bag full of clean laundry.

Putting her smaller, delicate hands over his, she stopped his movement, but he refused to meet her gaze. “Mac, are you okay? You’re acting weird.”

Still unable to look her in the eyes, he ran his gaze over the apartment. “You should be in a nice place.”

“This is a nice place,” Lex said as he strode into the kitchen. “Your bed is a little tight. We’re gonna need to order one of those bigger custom ones. Don’t worry though, I think we can make it fit if we get rid of one of the nightstands.”

Imani looked over at the chimera with a grin. “It’s adorable how focused you always are on our sleeping arrangements.”

Lex raised a pale blond eyebrow and crossed his arms over his chest. “Someone needs to make sure we’re all comfy while we’re fuckin’ or sleepin’.”

“Bed’s too small, and this place is too messy,” Mac muttered, reality slapping him in the face for a second time. Even if he cleaned up all the garbage and mess, this place would still be a shabby shithole.
