Banana Cream Dreams by Leyla Hunt

Come for the cream, stay for the dream…

Kai is struggling to make ends meet by serving while finishing his second year at art college. He figures participating in a date auction will distract him from his woes for a while, and he’s right. He spends an evening with alpha who’d won him and is instantly taken aback by the strength of the connection he feels for the tall and dark stranger. Yet, guilt over a past relationship keeps him hesitant to jump in. He resigns to living with just memories of the evening, until he discovers something that will forever bind the two of them together. And when he reports for a new server job at a hot new restaurant in town, there doesn’t seem to be an escape from destiny.

All Drew wants is to finally succeed at his lifelong dream of running his own hip restaurant and lounge. But when his sister drags him to a bachelor auction and he wins a date with a cute and charming omega, all bets are off. He can’t get enough of Kai, but unfortunately the omega seems hesitant – almost scared. Drew feels there’s no other option, so he backs off. When Kai shows up for an interview, all the hot and fuzzy feelings come rushing back, and Drew finds out there’s more than just good service on offer.
