“Told you,” I said.
Mylo faced me with an adoring expression. “You were right.” He paused, grinning sheepishly. “Did you know I’ve never actually beaten the Cruel Combat campaign before?”
I gawked. “What? Are you kidding me?”
He chuckled, rubbing the back of his head. “Nope. That was my first time. I was too nervous to try it before, but it actually wasn’t as bad as I thought.”
“So, what you’re saying is, you’re a natural born gamer god and I should bow at your feet?”
He laughed when I mimed dramatic bowing. “Stop that! You’re gonna get cum on the furniture.”
The door opened.
“Aurum’s going to getwhaton the furniture?” Saffron demanded.
We both froze. Mylo’s face drained. He looked mortified. On the other hand, I was surprised it took him this long to show up.
“Oh gods, I’m so sorry!” Mylo cried. “We’ll get this cleaned up right away!”
“Hey,” I said casually, waving at my twin.
Saffron looked away with a perturbed grunt. “Dude. Ew. I didn’tthinkwe needed to make a rule where we don’t fuck in the common area, but I’m officially laying down the law.”
I nodded. “Fair enough, bro. My bad.”
Twenty-Two
Mylo
The fourth DragonfateGames came to a close in a blur of chaos and contentment. I didn’t know if I’d made good TV or not, but I didn’t care. I’d found new friends, family, and of course, my fated mate.
All I had to do was stand there with a smile. That wasn’t difficult, since Aurum was by my side. Gaius dealt with the lion’s share of wrapping things up. Everything he said oozed with charisma, and all his speeches ended on inspiring high notes. He made the audience forget their disappointment that only one twin found their mate. Instead, he hyped up me and Aurum’s love, as well as the next season—whoever ended up being its bachelor.
Apparently, Jade already knew, but he was tight-lipped about his schemes.
“An omegas’night?” I asked, blinking at the invitation card Taylor handed me.
The tiger shifter gave me a cool smile. “That’s right. Poppy and Alaric are leaving the island tomorrow, so I wanted to spend a night together. Just us omegas.”
My heart jumped. I’d grown fond of my two new friends, and I thought the little party was a great idea.
“And I’m invited?” I repeated just to make sure. I’d never been invited to anything. Well, except maybe mandatory staff meetings at my job. Well, ex-job. Since I was mated to a rich dragon, I didn’t need to work minimum wage at a game store anymore.
Taylor had a firm purr in his voice. “Of course you’re invited. You’re one of us.”
“Who’s that at the door?” Aurum called from the bathroom. He strode out in a towel, squeaky clean after his shower. The couch we’d had sex on was just as clean after we thoroughly scrubbed it down.
Taylor ignored the fact that Aurum was half naked. “We’re stealing Mylo tonight.”
Aurum gasped, throwing his arms around me in a possessive embrace. “What? Why?”
“Omegas’ night.”
Aurum pouted. “But I wanted to play DreamHunt 14 with you.”
I smiled in sympathy. “Don’t worry, I still want to play, too. But my friends are leaving tomorrow, so this is the only chance we have to hang out.”
“Oh, right.” Aurum perked up. He pressed a goodbye kiss to my head and released me from his clutches. “Go have fun. Take care of him, okay, Tay?”
