particularly vibrant in the green of Isaiah’s irises. The brown seemed to have gone into hiding for now.
“You have to go to work until when?” Isaiah asked.
Bae ran his schedule over in his mind. “There’s nothing scheduled after five, but that doesn’t mean there might not be emergencies, and I volunteer at The Heart tonight at seven.
You could come, if you want.”

Isaiah gave him a wicked grin. “Oh, I want, very much. Then I want to have dinner with you, talk to you, find out everything I can about you before we go home—to either yours or mine—and you fuck me senseless.”
“Oh, okay.” Bae wanted to kick himself for the inane comment, but in all fairness he hadn’t had his coffee yet. As in, a pot of it. A cup wasn’t much help.
“Just okay?” Isaiah asked, amusement in his voice.
Bae popped him on the ass, which got him a yelp. “Don’t be mean, I need caffeine before I’m good for anything.”
Isaiah snorted. “You were pretty fucking amazing without it a few minutes ago.” He rolled off Bae and practically sprang to his feet, the rat. Bae was so not a morning person.
Isaiah sniffed and held out his hand. “I smell coffee. You better get up before I drink it all.”
“You wouldn’t,” Bae muttered, glaring at Isaiah’s profile. He didn’t think Isaiah would, but Bae scampered out of bed regardless. Honestly, he and Isaiah didn’t know each other at all. Well, they had their mate-bond, the mental link between them that might or might not grow stronger. Bae could pick up the outlines of Isaiah’s emotions, but he didn’t want to prod to see just how much he could feel or sense of his mate’s thoughts.
They’d have dinner tonight, talk, all the stuff normal people did when they were starting to date someone. And Bae would have to call his family, because as much as he was dreading it, they needed to know he’d found his mate. That he was male was going to piss some of them off.
“What’re you thinking about that’s got you feeling so tense?” Isaiah asked as they walked into the kitchen. Bae shook his head at himself and checked out the sweet swells of Isaiah’s ass. He was going to get to fuck that tonight. “Whoa, and that was a wave of lust that just made my dick hard all over again.” Isaiah stopped by the counter and turned, and sure enough, his long, thick cock was erect and curving up towards his stomach. “Thinking about my ass, by any chance?” Isaiah wiggled his hips, flexing his ass and making his cock bob.
Bae’s mouth went dry, and his dick did its best to match Isaiah’s perky state. “Yeah, I was.”
Isaiah slapped himself on one cheek, much as Bae had done earlier. “Told ya, it’s all yours tonight, and that’s something I’ve never done before. Probably I should have said that, too.”

Bae jerked his gaze up to Isaiah’s handsome face. “Never? Why not?”
Isaiah shrugged. “Just didn’t want to. Or maybe I’m a secret romantic who was saving it for the right man.”
Although Isaiah was joking about the last part, Bae sensed some truth in it. He was flattered, and fucking hell, it was going to be a long day.
“So why were you stressing out before you noticed my delectable ass?”
Isaiah’s question shot Bae’s erection down to half-staff. He stumbled over to open the cabinet where the coffee cups were kept. “It’s complicated. I’d rather wait until tonight to talk about it.”
Isaiah poured them each some coffee once Bae set the cups down. “Is being with me going to be a problem?”
Bae checked Isaiah’s expression, because suddenly the mental link between them was gone, Isaiah keeping him out. Isaiah couldn’t hide the hurt in his expression, though.
Bae sighed and looked at his coffee longingly. It was going to have to wait a few more minutes. He faced Isaiah. There was no point in lying. Isaiah would know
