“Sorry, he hasn’t slept. There’s new reports online this morning that you guys need to know about,” he stated, Lukas instantly knowing it involved him.

“What did they do?” he asked, sitting up and focusing on Caden while Jensen continued to try and pry me off.

I was a little offended that now they had each other they didn’t need my affection anymore. How rude.

“Someone took a photo of you guys making out and groping each other at school. There’s articles about you all over the place this morning,” Caden sighed, and I felt Lukas stiffen beside me.

“What? Show me.”

I handed him my phone, letting him scroll silently for a minute before I spoke.

“I know you’re not a big fan of the PDA, but isn’t it freeing? You can stop worrying about it getting out. Own it, man.”

Lukas kept scrolling, and Jensen eyed him warily. Jensen wouldn’t give a shit about people seeing a photo like that, but Lukas could spiral badly.

“Luke? Talk to me,” Jensen murmured when he remained silent, keeping his panic to himself.

“I want to find out which asshole at school took this photo,” he finally answered, tossing my phone on the bed gently with a scowl. “I’m going to fucking kill them.”

“What if it’s a girl?” I offered unhelpfully, earning a glare from Caden.

“Then I’ll let Jense handle it,” he said seriously, making Jensen huff out a laugh.

“You want me to beat up girls for you now? You need to do more than choke on my dick to get the hubby treatment, babe.”

“Bite me, asshole.”

“Come here then.”

“I feel like I’m in a three-way,” I joked, rolling over to face Lukas. “None of us give a shit who you’re with. All those other people don’t even matter. Not your mom, not the students, nobody. Besides, you’ve got a cute boyfriend, show him off.”

“Did you call my boyfriend cute?” he grunted, giving me the side-eye.

“I did. I mean, look at him,” I said with exaggeration, laughing as Jensen gave me a shove. “Hey! I’m helping you! He got all jealous and called you his boyfriend!”

Lukas hadn’t even seemed to notice he’d done it either until I mentioned it, his face flushing.

“You’re not helping,” Jensen warned, raking a hand through his hair. “What’s the plan, Luke?”

“I already told you. Go beat up the girls for me,” he replied with a huff, climbing out of bed and heading towards the bathroom, shutting himself inside.

“There goes all the progress I made with him,” Jensen sighed, sitting up to take my phone from where Lukas tossed it, having a look himself.

“Anyone heard from Rory?” Caden asked, changing the subject.

“I did at three this morning,” I offered. “She was still neck deep in paperwork.”

“She didn’t sleep either?” Jensen asked with a frown.

“She’s mean when she’s tired,” Caden grumbled.

“She can take her mood out on me. I’ll take one for the team,” I grinned, putting my arms behind my head and sprawling out.

“One of you check on her while I handle Luke. You two will only make this shit worse if I let you do it,” Jensen said as he gave us the stink eye, climbing out of bed and heading towards the bathroom to let himself inside.

“Coffee,” Caden muttered as he motioned for me to follow him, giving the guys some space, and we found Josie in the kitchen looking irritated. “Morning, Mom.”

She glanced up, forcing a smile. “Morning. Sleep well?”
