business.”
    Ben started laughing—a very uncommon occurrence—and Joe
    looked slightly confused. “What?”

    “Stefan loves to cook, and he’s much better than I am. I was
    trying to make breakfast this morning when he rescued me. By the
    time I got back downstairs after getting ready for work, he practically
    had a feast on the table. I still don’t know how he did it.”
    “Maybe you should introduce him to Nate. They can swap recipes
    or whatever it is that they do. Although, the two of them together does
    make me a little nervous. No telling what kind of trouble they could
    get into.”
    “Yeah, I’m not sure that’s a good idea, but I know Stefan could
    use a friend. He had to leave his best friend behind when he mated
    me. I know he misses him.”
    “Why don’t you have him over for dinner or to visit for a few
    days then? I’m sure it would make Stefan feel better,” Joe asked.
    Ben shook his head. “Stefan didn’t go into a lot of detail, but
    there’s some sort of issue involving his stepbrother, Oliver, and some
    guy named Dane. Apparently, Audley—Stefan’s best friend—is
    Dane’s little brother. Dane promised Audley to Oliver, and Dane was
    supposed to get Stefan. I kind of interfered with their plans.”
    “No shit? They were swapping siblings? Sounds a little fishy to
    me,” Joe said, sitting forward in his chair. All of his former
    amusement had gone from his features. “Isn’t he part of Prince
    Zacarius’s coven?”
    “You know, I don’t think it ever came up. I’ll have to ask Stefan
    when he gets here,” Ben said. “Although, considering I met him at the
    mate gathering, I’d assume he is.”
    “You ask him and I’ll make some discreet inquiries.”
    Ben nodded. “I’d appreciate it, Joe. It’s weird, but I don’t want
    Stefan unhappy.”
    “It’s not weird, Ben. It’s called having a mate. Weird is having a
    mate who's a sempath and can always tell if you’re lying or not. Try
    building a relationship on that. I can’t hide shit from that man.”
    Ben chuckled. He saw Nate using his unique abilities a time or
    two. It was a little eerie, but Joe seemed to dote on Nate’s every word.

    He wasn’t freaked out by Nate’s abilities, so Ben had decided early on
    that he wouldn’t be either. Nate was just—Nate.
    “I’m sure Stefan comes with his own baggage. I know I certainly
    do,” Ben said, trying to make Joe feel a little better.
    “Oh, don’t get me wrong. I wouldn’t give Nate up for anything. I
    just wish that sometimes I could get something past him. I can’t even
    try to surprise him. He knows. He—” Joe stopped talking when there
    was a knock on the door. “Come in?”
    Charlie stuck his head in, nodding to Joe before looking at Ben.
    “Uh, Ben, there’s a guy out here. Says his name is Stefan and he’s
    brought you lunch?”
    Ben jumped to his feet and started to follow after Charlie,
    stopping to look back at Joe. “Do you need anything else, Joe?”
    “No, Ben, go have lunch. But I expect you back here in an hour.
    No running home to have lunch, if you know what I mean.”
    “Hell, who needs to run home? A broom closet will work just
    fine.” Ben chuckled as he walked out, shutting the door behind him.
    He immediately spotted Stefan standing by the door, looking around
    nervously.
    Walking over, he wrapped an arm around him and leaned down to
    give Stefan a long, passionate kiss. “Hey, baby, what did you bring
    me for lunch?” he asked when he finally lifted his head.
    “Ben,” Stefan whispered, leaning in to take a deep inhale of his
    scent. Looking up at him, he smiled. “I missed you.”
    “It’s only been a few hours, Stefan,” Ben reminded him.
    “And?”
    Ben chuckled, getting a few strange stares from his fellow
    officers. He wasn’t known for his sense of humor or for laughing.
    Stefan just seemed to bring it out in him. He said the most amazing
    things
