"Your father?" Luka's brow furrowed, then his eyes widened as realization dawned on him. He took a step closer to Ben. "What have you done?"
"He didn't do anything," I said.
Luka wasn't listening to me. He moved closer again. "You're putting her in danger. Did you think about anything other than your cock?"
"Hey, stop." Now I had to diffuse Luka. And to be honest, seeing him mad was a little scary. He was standing tall, his upper body tense, his hands balled into fists. Flames danced in his eyes.What the fuck?
Shaking off my own fear, I grabbed Luka's arms, squeezing gently. "It's okay. I'm safe."
He looked down at me, his eyes returning to normal. He still looked pissed, but he looked calmer. "It's not okay, Raven. Do you know who his father is? Do you know what he does to people?"
"Yes," I said. To be fair, I didn't fully know, but I had a general idea. And I knew it still didn't matter. I didn't have a choice. Ben was mine and I was his. The same as it was with Luka. I couldn't walk away from either of them even if I wanted to. And I didn't want to. I needed them. We were bonded in a way I couldn't explain.
"Listen," I said, rubbing my palms up and down his upper arm. "I didn't get to choose him any more than I chose you. But I'm glad for it. I need you. I need him too."
Luka's eyes flicked past me. I could feel Ben's body heat moving closer to me. I turned so I could see them both, releasing my hands from Luka. "You two don't have to like each other, but you're both going to be in my life and you're going to have to at least pretend to get along."
Both males let out low growls.
"That doesn't sound like pretending to get along," I said.
The growling stopped.
"Look, you know none of us chose this. But you both have to know that I wouldn't trade either of you for anything. You're going to have to be okay with this." I held my breath as I waited for them to respond.
"At least he can be out with you in public," Ben said. "He can keep you safe when I'm not able to."
"You know I will," Luka said.
"See? We can make this work," I said.
"I'll play nice if he does," Luka said.
"Ben." I looked over at my handsome shifter, wondering if he was going to go along with it. "I need you."
He reached his hand out toward me and I took it in mine. He squeezed my hand. "I need you too."
"Well, I suppose since it's your turn tonight, I'll be on my way," Luka said.
My face heated. I never imagined I'd be in a position where I was juggling two males. At least it was all out in the open now.
Ben pulled me closer to him, wrapping his arms around me. "You can show yourself out."
"See you in the morning, Kitten," Luka said as he slipped out the door.
