“Sorry.” Felix squeezed my hand. “He’s too busy enjoying my company.”

“Ah, the possessive type?” Luke said with a sneer. Fuck, the more he spoke, the uglier he got. Before I could say anything, Felix jumped in again.

“Nah, just honest.” Felix might be half the size of Luke, but he was more ferocious by a long shot. “If you had some deep friendship worth keeping, you’d still be around. But you were a flash-in-the-pan relationship, and you need to move the fuck on.”

Luke’s shoulders tensed, and I stepped forward, even though my fingers were still tangled with Felix’s.

“Excuse me, but this was between me and Cor, not you,” Luke said.

Fuck this.

“Lose my number, Luke,” I said, unable to hide the weariness from my tone. He wasn’t worth getting angry over, but I refused to sit back while he talked to Felix that way. “We didn’t work, and we’re never going to work. I’ve found my guy. It was never going to be you.”

Luke’s brows drew together, and my body buzzed as I braced myself for him to lash out. Except then he just let out a low noiseand pivoted on his heel. A moment later, he was disappearing into the crowd.

What the fuck? He’d left without pushback. Felix had been right. I should’ve stood up to him ages ago.

The reality descended onto me like a pile of bricks. Part of me had always known I’d been passive about a lot—easiest to do when you were the middle child—but maybe I did need to start speaking up more.

“Fuck, that was hot,” Felix whispered in my ear, his breath warming my cheek.

“Seeing my ex does it for you?” I teased, arching a brow.

He nipped my ear. Lust shot through me in a fierce, quick wave.

“Seeing you put him in his place did.” Felix’s voice was pure sin, all silk, and my pants got a little tight with the way my cock was waking up. “Want to go find a bathroom?”

Adrenaline shot through me. My cock went from a semi to full mast. I’d never dipped my toes into exhibitionism much, but so far, the times with Felix had been eye opening. I’d never realized what an instant turn-on I’d find it. And the idea of him bending me over in a bathroom stall while the game went on around us?

Oh, fuck yes.

I grabbed his hand and already took the first steps forward. “Follow me.”

Chapter sixteen

Felix

I’d been to the Wells Fargo Center so many times that picking out a location was a no-brainer. The main bathrooms would be too busy, but the family restrooms that were solo-locked ones would work perfectly for what I wanted to get up to with Cor.

As long as there wasn’t a long line of families waiting for the bathrooms, we’d be golden.

He had the same train of thought because he tugged me in that direction.

My heart thudded, and my skin felt hyperaware, like the slightest brush against it would turn me on. My cock had already hardened to a semi at the thrill of what we were about to do, and the fact that Cor was with me, no hesitation, cemented everything that had been swirling in my mind—that he was the goddamn perfect partner for me.

And him stepping up against Luke? Yeah, I hadn’t been lying. That had a hundred percent done it for me.

By some miracle of the sex gods, there was an open single restroom and no line.

“Dibs,” I called out as I opened the door and all but dragged him in behind me.

“You don’t need to call dibs when no one else is there,” Cor said, a smirk on his lips.

I shut the door and locked it. “Think you can stay quiet, lover?” I arched a brow, that thrill coursing through me like sheer light.

Cor’s eyes widened, his pupils dark with lust. “Depends on how well you fuck me.”

A grin rose to my lips. “Oh, sassy tonight, are we?”
