“You missed lunch,” he said.
“Yeah,” I agreed.
“Come on, I’ll buy you dinner. Your other boyfriend can join us too,” he said without even looking up at Luka.
“I feel so seen,” Luka said.
“I’m glad to see you two playing nice,” I said. “But there’s kind of something I need to do with Luka.”
“He’s welcome to join us,” Luka said.
I glanced over at my incubus. Was he flirting with my other boyfriend? “Not that. I told you already.”
“Oh, yes,” he said. “It’s a secret. I don’t even know what she’s up to.”
“Just trust me on this, Ben,” I said.
Ben’s jaw tensed and I could feel how conflicted he was.
“I promise, if this works, I’ll explain everything to you tomorrow,” I said.
“I have to wait a whole night?” he asked, looking skeptical.
“Please,” I said. “Tomorrow, me and you. One on one.” It was a cheap trick because I knew what that meant to him. I knew he preferred to have time with just the two of us more than any of my other mates.
For a moment, I wasn’t sure if he was even going to respond. Then finally, he nodded once. “You win this time, demon. But remember, I’m right next door all night long.”
Luka gave him a mock salute. “You got it, boss.”
Ben scowled at him, then looked back at me. “You need to eat, at least.”
“He’s right there,” Luka agreed.
“Fine, I’ll go for dinner but you two both need to promise me you’ll go along with me being on my own tonight. I don’t want the others to know yet. Not after Violet.”
Ben’s face fell. “That’s what this is about again? How many times do we have to tell you that you don’t have to protect us?”
“Look, if this goes the way I hope, I’ll have some information and then we can all make a plan together. I promise,” I said.
“Alright,” Ben said. “I’ll hold you to that.”
