EDRA DIDN’T have a wide range of clothes, so he put on dark blue jeans and gray T-shirt and hoped that would do for the party. He made the short walk from the station to Jordan’s apartment in the Mission district, two raw chickens in the bag swinging at his side. The whole way he’d been dwelling on what the Strega had said. The golden rings glinted in his memory. He could’ve taken them there and then, and she wouldn’t have cared.

If he’d taken them, he’d have been committing to that future, and once that was done, the other futures would fall away.

His city or his own kind. Jordan or lesser dragons.

No other mates were in his future. This was his last chance. Unless the mate-for-life thing didn’t apply here. But it had hurt so much to be alone after the collapse, to have lost Lyo, that he didn’t believe that.

The cat watched him as he pressed the buzzer. She didn’t hiss, but it was clear that she’d eat his face off if he fell asleep unguarded. The feeling was mutual, though he was sure she’d scratch his throat the whole way down.

“Come up.” Jordan’s voice was scratchy on the intercom.

Edra opened the door and glanced at the cat. She followed him in and then raced up the stairs. He could’ve taken them two at a time, eager to get to Jordan’s door like he usually did, but today he needed the extra few seconds to himself. When he knocked, Jordan opened the door immediately, a smile on his face that was enough for both of them.

“You look… amazing, elf.” Jordan’s green shirt did something to his brown eyes… or was it the eyeliner? His hair was styled differently too, and gold hoops hung from his ears and a stud glinted higher in the very lickable shell of his ear. Jordan was dressed to party, not work. He looked entirely too kissable, enough that Edra wondered why he was doubting what he wanted when it was right in front of him.

Jordan hooked his finger into Edra’s belt loop and tugged him close. His lips brushed Edra’s cheek before Edra turned his head, wanting more. He wasn’t sure how it would be between them after Jordan’s visit, but it seemed they weren’t going to talk about it.

“We’re doing this now, aren’t we?” Jordan murmured against his lips.

Edra put his tongue to good use as he kissed Jordan, so he didn’t have to answer. He was sliding off the cliff and wasn’t even looking for ways to hold on. His wings would catch him if he fell. When his back hit the doorframe and Jordan pressed against him, he let Jordan take what he needed, because it was nice to be wanted when Jordan was sober. He moved his hips, liking the friction and knowing it was safe. He could enjoy without it being more.

“Tease.” Jordan eased back. He rubbed his thumb over Edra’s lip. “You had a little lipstick.” That was really the least of his problems.
