Upon hearing the name, I swallowed a grin.
Terry thanked the omega and headed toward the velvet curtain. The alpha in a suit held it open for us.
“You sneaky bastard,” I whispered into Terry’s ear.
“Surprise!” he shot back.
Excitement fluttered in my stomach. I’d longed to visit this place since I’d learned about its existence. We entered an open space interspersed with tall tables and bar chairs. It had a distinct club atmosphere, with sultry music and colorful lighting, but the furniture and interior decor looked like they were from two centuries ago. A few patrons mingled about as well as sat at tables.
“They claim to serve specialized dishes with aphrodisiac effects,” Terry said.
“Um. I’m horny enough. Can I just have a regular burger before we go hit on someone?”
My mate chuckled. A server approached us then—a lean, muscular alpha with a sizable bulge in his tight white pants. He wore a white mask on his face.
“Good evening, and welcome to Priapus. Can I have your name, please?”
“Harbinger and guest.”
“Thank you,” the server said, checking something on a small tablet. “We have a table for you. Please follow me.”
I licked my lips as we passed a couple of dark-haired omegas. They carried their drinks to a corner table and looked around curiously, faces partially obscured by masks similar to the ones we wore. They seemed like a couple of friends on the prowl. Definitely approachable.
The server showed us to our table close to the bar and left. In seconds, another alpha in a white mask and white pants took our drinks order. I couldn’t help but glance at his groin. Yep. Hung like a horse. Or maybe the pants came with padding as part of the staff uniform.
I snickered at the thought.
“Something funny?” Terry asked, scanning the room with his usual professional focus.
“I just wondered if the guy had a balled-up sock in his underwear. What about you, see something potentially dangerous?”
Terry smiled, his shoulders relaxing. “No. Habit, sorry.”
“Are we going to eat?” I picked up the menu from the holder on the table and scanned it. “No burgers. This is only finger food, Terry.”
“Should I have taken you to a steakhouse, dear mate? May I remind you what the main purpose of this place is?”
“You’re right. Cheese plate it is. And they have steak vol-au-vents with some secret sauce.”
“Unless it’s made of whale sperm or something, I’m in.”
I spluttered. “Whale sperm? I hope not.”
Our drinks arrived, and we ordered the food. The room became more crowded. There were several omegas without company and a few omega-only groups of friends. I might have spotted a dragon shifter or two, but I couldn’t be sure with the lighting and the masks.
As we ate, I kept looking at the couple of omegas on the opposite side of the room. They chatted and laughed, their cheeks flushed. They seemed to be getting a little tipsy. A large alpha with a graying ponytail approached them, and they talked to him for a bit, but then he left again. One of the omegas caught my gaze and smiled before turning to his friend.
Pushing my empty plate away, I patted my belly. “Now I’m ready to mingle.”
“Good. See anyone you like?”
“All of these boys are here for the big dick. I don’t know where to start.”
“I might have an idea.”
I followed Terry’s gaze to the bar. An omega leaned on the counter with his back to us, his hips tilted provocatively. He was presenting his ass to the entire room in that position. And I was grateful to him because it was aspectacularass. Wide hips, thick thighs, big round ass cheeks. The two deep dimples at the base of his spine beckoned to me. When he turned to face the room, lips wrapped around a straw, Terry hummed. The omega had a thin lace mask around his eyes that didn’t hide much of his features. It worked more like a pretty accessory than a disguise. He wore a skimpy top to match his tiny shorts,only strings and a scrap of pale fabric barely covering his nipples.
My mate had never declared a specific taste in omegas, but I’d seen him gaze dreamily at curvy bellies and large, soft pecs. This boy had my mate lusting, and my dragon reacted. Saliva gathered in my mouth.
