crushing’s messy."
    Caleb agreed with Dom. “Hunter quit the bullshit. My job and the woman I’m fucking doesn’t infringe on the other. As to the threat, Shade right now is sleeping in a mass of Shadows. I wouldn’t threaten her, they might get testy, and I know Hound magic can’t compare so don’t posture man… this is one that controls all the darkness. It likes her.”
    His own S hadow Scar pulsed on his throat and writhed in agreement.
    "Just making sure we ’re on the same page." Hunter grumbled.
    "FYI , our magic rivals most races. Shadow demons are hard to mimic unless we have the support of the Shadows." Dominic offered.
    “And over her?” Caleb punched up the security footage on the main screen in the room and showed them her draped in shadow, the darkness writhed about her, snuggled her, held her in its embrace. “You think they will come to your call over hers?”’
    Dom shook his head. "I wouldn't hold out much hope over a minor demon let alone that one."
    “See? Non issue. So dare I offer you guy’s lunch? Sereeta is preparing something huge in there, not sure what it is…” he smirked. “And I’m sure she would enjoy you popping in to say Hi.”
    "Food?" Hunter asked Dom.
    "We shouldn't. Time’s getting on."
    “Food and sex?” Caleb asked knowing full well both of his associates were usually swayed by the concept. “And you can hitch a ride back into port, and check out Lady Shade for yourself.”
    " Very well, if only to satisfy curiosity. It’s always nice to meet new additions."
    "You satisfy curiosity and I'll satisfy more pressing needs. Done." he proclaimed the paper now in piles. Hunter gathered them up and placed them carefully back into their envelopes.
    Caleb smirked. “ Just don’t press her ass into the soufflé again, she’s stunning but I don’t feel like seeing an ass print in the desert.”
    "No promises." he shifted into his hound form flashing him a wolfish grin before loping off out the room.
    Dom watched him leave silently.
    Caleb shrugged. If he wanted to mount her in Hound form… who was he to stop him? He looked at Dom and smirked. “So? Anything else, or would you like to come with me to wake her up?”
    "Let’s."
    Caleb led him back through the interior to the double doors that were the entrance to his bedroom and opened one of them and let Dom in with him and then closed the door, intent on not being disturbed.
    Hunter was occupied with the cook so they had time… though he wasn’t sure for what. Sharing Shade hadn’t actually been on his mind, but in his musings he realized that she was becoming permanent in his thoughts, something he couldn’t handle right now. The woman was wild, and bringing in a third would not only please her, but keep her at arm’s length a bit more. Win-win.
    Shade was lying on the bed still, quietly on her back . He motioned to the Shadows that were dancing around her and his own pulsed again. He stroked the scar on his throat, to calm it. It might be rooted to him, but it was still excited to be near its mistress.
    She was in full control of them, they saw to her constant pleasure. Well he was doing so as well.
    “Part off her, show us the beauty that is Shade’s body.” He said softly and the Shadows started to depart, revealing her body, obviously nude under the light silk sheet.
    "Stunning." Dom said appreciatively.
    Shade stirred as if sensing the Shadows had moved.
    Caleb nodded and then moved closer to the bed and grinned. “Pet…” he said quietly. “We have a visitor.”
    "Ummm," she smiled sleepily. "Is it a hot naked cabana boy?"
    “I’m sure he could be anything you wanted him to be. Eyes open love, attend us and we just might attend you…”
    “And that’s worth opening my eyes for is it?” She smiled sleepily, though they all knew she was anything but.  Her nipples had pearled and jutted against the silk, and she moved in a sensual roll, a clear enticement.
    Caleb shook his head. “That’s if
