Luka stood in the doorway, his gaze quickly moving away from me to where I could only assume Ben was standing behind me.

"I was right, you weren't alone," he said.

"Luka, I can explain," I said.

"She's busy tonight, demon," Ben said.

He wrapped a protective arm around me and I shrugged it off. "Hold on now."

"Did you try to slip into her dreams?" Ben asked.

"I've been in more than just her dreams," Luka said with a grin.

I could feel the temperature in the room rising and I knew Ben was pissed. It was like his emotions were vibrating through me. He felt hurt and jealous and a little murderous.

On the other hand, I could practically feel Luka'scome at methoughts. His cocky grin was just the right kind of ammo. He was doing exactly what he needed to piss off Ben.

Shit.This wasn't going to end well if I didn't do something quickly.

"Okay, first you need to get in here." I grabbed Luka and dragged him into my room. Then I peeked out into the hallway to make sure we didn't have an audience. Thankfully, the coast was clear. I closed the door, then flipped on the light before I stepped in between the two of them.

"First of all, you both need to calm down," I said.

"I'm calm," Luka said.

I glared at him. He really was calm. None of this seemed to bother him.

"Now that I know you're not in here with a killer, I'm good," he said. "Well, that's not true, I'd be better if I was in Raven's bed, but I suppose it's not my turn."

Ben growled, and I turned toward him and set my hands on his chest. "Ben, don't do anything stupid."

He looked down at me. "Have you been with the demon?"

"I thought you knew that," I said.

"I didn't know for sure," he said.

"Ben, I share a bond with both of you," I said.

"Wait, you have a bond with him too?" Luka asked.

I looked over at the incubus and saw the first sign of concern on his expression since he realized I wasn't in danger. "I do."

"Wow. I've never heard of that before, have you?" He was looking at Ben, waiting for him to respond.

"No," Ben said.

"Then again," he said, "You rarely hear of a mage having a mating bond at all. Especially not with a shifter or an incubus."

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you," I said, looking from Luka to Ben. "I need you both."

"We haven't been exactly keeping things a secret," Luka said. "Why hide the shifter? Are you embarrassed that you're with a wolf?"

Ben growled again.

"I'm serious, I'm not trying to insult you," he said. "I never thought of Raven as the type to hide things unless there's a good reason."

"My father can't know about this," Ben said.
