Savon didn’t want to be a bother to anyone and had to fight his nerves when he went to the door to speak to who he thought was the manager. He shuffled his feet to move inside when he was allowed and looked carefully at the other. “Hi, Uh, hi,” he stumbled over his words, “I, um, I’m Savon and I was wondering if you were hiring? I mean, I have a job.. an escort, but I was looking for something else too.” He didn’t make eye contact and knew that was bad, so he looked up hopefully, really wanting to be good enough for this.

Raiden looked up at the male as he entered the office. He set his pen down and folded his hands over the desk in front of him as he looked the other over. He knew from the scent that Savon was a coyote. His pack was progressive so he knew that it could be difficult to find a job. When the male said he was an escort he sighed and looked around his office while he thought about it. “Well, I can’t have people assuming that you’re working your escort gig when you’re here, so being out front would not work for me,” he said honestly. “Are you any good at cooking?”

  “ Yes because that is what I want, an alpha that wants to mate with me because of my position. I may be sweet, but if one of them try to mate me and want to control the pack I am not above biting their dick off.” He pouted. He pack was his to lead and he wasn’t going to step aside for no one. “ How was it, seeing Nico, and seeing Aylwin, is he doing okay since leaving?” He missed Aylwin he was a good friend, and he hated to see him go.  “ Yes sounds like a plan.” He grinned.

Caleb was super surprised by the hands on his ass and he gave a little noise, squirming as he was groped and kissed. “I-I mean. What else would you um. Want. To do.” he stuttered out, hiding his face in Raiden’s neck his face flushing red at the overt flirting. 

“well, that’s what they all say at the beginning,” he chuckled, putting on his cordial smile that had yet to become worn despite its frequent usage from lycan. it was a careful facade he’d perfected over the years. “oh,” he exclaimed the moment the bottle was held up to him. judging from its packaging and the faint scent that surrounded its mouth, it was a jewel of a wine. “wow, this is … expensive stuff, you didn’t have to.” eyes quickly whirled over to the other male, bright with gratitude. “thank you,” lycan said, setting the bottle down correctly on the bar counter. “and you owe that place? wonderful atmosphere there - took a boy there for a date because we both were feeling adventurous.” he beamed at the man, before twisting his expression into an apologetic one. “oh gosh, where are my manners? the name’s lycan fleur, and i am the owner of the eclipse.” a hand dashed towards the man, offering a shake. “i don’t have a gift to give you as of right now but if you are free, i can cook something quickly. 

Raiden chuckle and waved his hands in the air. “There is no need for a return gift, I assure you. Being from the Lowe pack I like to make good with other local businesses. I go and offer gifts and support should they ever need it. I think community is important even if we don’t come from the same pack,” he explained, letting his hands slip into his pockets. The idea of food did sound good right about now. “I mean, I never turn down free food but you’re not even dressed and you are trying to close up, so I won’t trouble you,” he said with grin. “I have plenty of food being uneaten at home.” He shook Lycan’s hand firmly before letting it fall. “Pleasure to meet you, Lycan. I’ve seen this place in passing but, as you’re aware, owning your own business means you’re only free after everything has already closed for the night,” he chuckled, rubbing the back of his neck.

“ I like Comedies too. I guess we will both be in for a surprise when we pick a movie.” He laughed. “ I know I have a lot of time, but sometimes I feel like I’m don’t I’m getting older who wants to mate with someone almost in their 40s.” He chuckled. “ I feel like there needs to be some dating app or something, but I will keep my eyes open and see who I connect with and you are free to give my number out.” He smiled. “ When was the last time you saw Alywin?” He asked looking up at him.

“ I don’t know, I’ve missed like all the movies that have came out within the last few months, what is one that you like?” He asked looking up at him. He shrugged. “ I know he is right, but I won’t admit that to him.” He laughed. “ No, I haven’t really been looking that hard. There are tons of beautiful alphas or betas, but most people are pretty intimidated by the pack leader.” He pouted. “ I am happy, and I do want a mate and pups lots of them, but I don’t have the time for it.”

He giggled pushing his face away as he nipped him, feeling his cheeks light up. “ Sounds like a plan to me, but then we should watch some movies while we eat.” He grinned as he took his hand. “ I love it, it is a bit overwhelming at times, but I have to remember to take breaks to have fun and relax. My father made it sounds a lot easier, but he keeps saying it would be if I had a mate to relieve stress.” He said rolling his eyes playfully.

“ Good because I’ve been feeling a bit lonely and require lots of attention and affection.” He said grinning up at him. “ He has? I always hoped he would change his mind and come back, we are family after all.” He pouted, he would have to take a trip to see his friend. “ Then we can be needy together.”

“Noooo Rai you have to be nice. Be nice because I said so. Not protective.” he huffed as he buried his face in Raiden’s neck nuzzling against the alpha happily, squirming in the man’s lap as he got more comfortable in it. He kissed back not a moment of hesitation in the action. “I dunno you can kiss me all you like. Whenever you want.” he said with a little smile stealing one from the alpha this time. 

“Aylwin? He’s a great wolf, I do still love him. But things come to an end sometimes and you can’t help it. I’m sad he’s not in our pack still but I understand and respect his choices.”

“I would ask what you plan on doing down there.” He said putting his hands on his hips.
