“You have an answer for everything, don’t you?”

Connie hooted. “That’s why he’s the king.”

Kit laughed softly. “Okay, fine. I’ll give you that one. I guess the question I really need an answer to is, why me?”

“Why not you?” Hudson asked.

“I’m going to throw something at you,” Kit threatened.

“Okay, okay,” Hudson held up his hands. “You’re driven, attractive, open-minded, and easygoing. You’ve had a lot thrown at you lately, and yet you’ve rolled with the punches. I appreciate a fighter, and you are one.”

“You are kind too,” Connie pointed out. “Beckett always talks about how your employees love you. Do you know how unusual that is in this day and age? You have a good heart. You’re sweet but also kind of sassy. I mean, seriously, what is therenotto like about you? Why not you?”

“I have to say, you guys are certainly good for my ego. Thank you.”

“We’d like to be good for you too,” Connie said. “We’re serious about this. About you. We want to get to know you. Will you give us a chance? Are you interested in us?”

“I’m pretty sure you know I am,” Kit said. “I just don’t know why you’ve focused on me. You’re both big, bad dragons, and I’m just me. I guess having both of you interested in me leaves me feeling a little overwhelmed. But I am interested.”

“Dragons can be kind of intense, so we’ll try to go slow and give you a chance to get used to us. But make no mistake,” Hudson said. “We want you. We want to fuck you.”

“Fuck, yes,” Connie growled.

Kit raised an eyebrow. “Just so you guys know, I also like to do the fucking on occasion.”

Connie hissed, the sound sudden and loud, as his eyes fluttered.

Kit jumped at the sound. “Holy shit, that was….”

“That’s not a problem. Soooo not a problem,” Connie said, opening his eyes.

Kit immediately noticed his eyes had changed colors.

“Sweetheart? Are you okay?” Hudson asked, resting his hand on Connie’s leg.

“Yes. Yes, I’m good.” Connie closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Opening them again, he looked at Kit. “Sorry. Hearing that you’re a switch got to me. I wasn’t expecting that.”

“Glad to hear you’re receptive,” Kit said.

“Very. We should mention that we only want to fuck you. And we don’t share,” Connie said. “Are you okay with that? Are you okay being exclusive with us?”

Kit seriously considered the question. This felt monumental, and he didn’t want to rush it. He stared at both dragons. They returned his look calmly.

“I am. I’m not interested in anyone else either. I want to see where this goes,” Kit said, grinning from ear to ear. “Lord have mercy, I’m dating two dragons!”

Connie let out a whoop, jumped up from the couch, and wrapped his arms around Kit. The next thing Kit knew, he was being twirled around the living area.

“Jeez, put me down, you maniac. I’m entirely too full for you to be doing that.” Kit laughed, staring at Connie’s happy face.

Connie plunked him down right in front of Hudson, who had also stood when Connie jumped up. Breathless, Kit stared into Hudson’s face. Connie crowded in behind Kit as Hudson moved in closer.

Heart pounding, and trapped between the two, all Kit could do was stare into Hudson’s eyes, eyes that were rapidly changing color. Connie’s hands landed on Kit’s hips just as Hudson cupped Kit’s face.

Connie’s warm lips landed on the nape of his neck, nibbling at the sensitive skin while Hudson claimed his mouth.

Kit fisted his hand in Hudson’s shirt and wrapped his other one around the back of Connie’s neck, because fuck, he needed something to hold on to.

The dual sensations drove him nuts. And hell’s bells, Hudson’s kiss was as dominating as the man himself. He demanded that Kit open, and when he did, Hudson’s tongue swept in, owning everything it touched. The kiss was hot and wet. Overpowering.
