I shook them off. No, I didn’t get the sense that Felix was that type of person. He was warm and understanding. My blindness wasn’t an issue for him.
“Remind me again if you’re single?” I asked, half teasing because I already knew the answer. “No alpha or anyone otherwise in your life?”
But Felix paused, and when he spoke there was a hint of pain in his voice. “Yes, I’m single.”
Earlier, Felix had mentioned he was recently out of a relationship. Now it was clear he had some sort of baggage he wasn’t yet inclined to share.
“Sorry, I didn’t mean to drag up a sensitive issue,” I said.
“No, it’s okay, it’s not that,” Felix said quietly. “I guess I just haven’t talked about it since it happened.”
“We can drop it, then.” I smiled. “You’re here to have fun, not be interrogated.”
Felix hesitated, then said, “Yeah. Let’s do that for now. Thanks. But if what you’re asking is if I’m interested in you, then the answer is yes.”
Excitement pulsed in my blood.
Okay, Eli. Let’s make sure this is reality and not one of your crazy fantasies, all right?
“Interested,” I asked slowly, “in what way?”
In the quiet of the room, I heard Felix swallow hard. “I think you know what I meant, Elijah.”
A shock of arousal shot down to my lower half, making my cock twitch. There was no room to misinterpret what Felix was saying to me.
His words were crystal clear, and without question they meantI want to fuck.
