Chapter 5
Five
“She’s something, isn’t she?” I drew my finger across the rim of my glass.
Eros gazed at her for a moment, smiling weakly, before turning to me. “She is.” He sighed and pushed his glass to the edge of the table, allowing the bartender to refill his Passion Delight. His cheeks were slightly sunken in, and his skin was strangely paler than usual.
This was my first time alone with him in the past five months. He had barely visited my kingdom since Dani had moved to Hell. I wasn’t sure if he was trying to keep Dani away or keep himself away from me. He could try either, but they would both be mine in the end.
After taking a long sip of his drink, he sat back. “She’s going to drain me.”
I chuckled. “You used to be able to fuck for days. It’s what you thrive off of, isn’t it?”
He playfully glared at me, eyes dancing with darkness. “I still can.” Those words, filled with so much desire and need, were going to be the end of him. He was still so prideful in his abilities to be able to break my headboard.
We gazed at Dani as she talked with the three women, her eyes glowing as brightly as mine used to.
“She just needs it all the time. I can’t keep up anymore.”
I nudged his shoulder. “Having to fuck her every day sounds pretty shitty. Thank God I don’t have your life.”
“Fuck you.” He laughed.
“You don’t need to ask.”
The edges of his eyes filled with darkness, but he didn’t take my bait like he usually did.
I moved my hand up his thigh slowly. “We’ve talked about this before. Dani will need someone else. You can’t be tiring yourself out like this.”
He took another sip of his drink, becoming higher and hornier. “You just want to fuck her.” There was no jealousy in his voice.
“I want to fuck you too.”
He struggled to keep his gaze distant, but it wasn’t working. It traveled down my body, then back up it shamelessly. He closed his eyes and clenched his jaw, then readjusted himself in his seat.
“What did you expect Dani to be like? She’s the daughter of the angel Fatima and the demon Asmodeus of Lust, two of the strongest creatures to ever live. You knew what you were getting yourself into when you possessed her the first time.”
I walked behind him and placed my hands on his shoulders. Slowly, I trailed one of my hands down his chest. “Eros …” I leaned close to him until my lips were against his ear. “You’re tense.” My fingers grazed against the front of his pants as I pushed him against the bar. “Here too.”
He swallowed and cursed again. “Lucifer, don’t.”
Without thinking twice, I slipped my hand into his pants, dragging my fingers up and down his hardness through his underwear. “I can give you what you need.”
He closed his eyes, but didn’t stop me. “You know I am faithful to Dani.”
Well, my friend, Dani isn’t as faithful to you.
I would prove it. If I had to fuck her to get to him, then I would. Dani wouldn’t mind, I wouldn’t mind, and Eros … he wouldn’t mind after a few times.
But I had to work my magic to get Dani to break.
My other hand curled around his neck, and I pulled him closer. “You know where my bedroom is.” I grabbed my drink and left his hot mess at the bar.
From across the room, I watched him place a hand on his crotch, take a deep breath, and close his eyes.
Suddenly, Dani stormed past me. There she was. She was headed straight toward the Kingdom of Wrath’s table. Biast and Sathanus were sitting, their eyes hazy red, their lips stained with blood.
“Well, this will be fun,” I said to myself.
She stared right at Biast with those bright white eyes. “We have rules.”
Biast clenched his jaw and stood. “Can’t fuck a succubi in Hell? What kind of damn rule is that?”
Everyone in the room quieted down. She said something to him, then stepped forward, not intimidated at all. So fiery—I loved it.
She pushed him. Then he snatched her hand. Sathanus stood and loomed over them both.
In less than a moment, Dani’s eyes turned pure black. She was going to drain him of his soul, and it’d be so easy for her to do it.
Tonia rushed up beside me, her eyes wide. “I didn’t know Hell had a—”
“A Kakosengel?” I leaned against one of the tables and gazed at Dani. “Her father was Asmodeus, and her mother was—”
“Fatima …” she whispered and nodded. “She looks just like her.”
We continued to watch Dani scold the demons of Wrath without a single care in the world. Dani in her demon was just, if not more, intimidating than most demons here. She could kill with a single kiss if she wasn’t careful.
“You don’t hurt the succubi, and you can come back for more. Hurt them, and you’re banished from them,” Dani said to Biast.
Tonia smiled. “She cares about people.”
Biast stepped toward Dani. “They can take it. That’s what they’re there for.”
“Succubi aren’t there for your pleasure.” She poked a finger right in his chest. “You’re there for theirs. They have one rule—not to drain demons. If you hurt another one of them again, they have my permission to do what they please with you. Or”—she smirked—“I could.”
The dining hall filled with whispering. Everyone knew exactly what those words meant. She would take Biast and suck him dry, just like she had done with his brother. She was promising death upon another one of Sathanus’s sons, another heir to his kingdom.
Almost immediately, Eros tensed and drew her away from him. “Come on, Dani. Let’s go to a Lust Room.”
Dani refused. She was hungry. I could see it in her eyes. She needed to feed. Eros hadn’t given her enough today.
“I’m here for your pleasure?” Biast scoffed menacingly and gazed over at Eros. “Let the woman go. If she wants to try to take me, let her.” His jaw was clenched, yet his eyes had a spark of black in them—a spark of lustfulness.
Eros pulled her back, his eyes hazy, and placed his lips close to her ear, whispering something inaudible. Dani stormed to a Lust Room, and Eros trailed behind her.
If he went in there right now with Dani, he surely wouldn’t come out. And if Dani could miraculously suppress her urges and her anger and Eros did come out, he would be so close to death, so close to being drained.
But he was willing to do anything for her, and I was willing to do anything for him. I grabbed Tonia’s hand and followed them to the Lust Room. Dani was already on Eros, who was lying on the bed, shirtless.
“Dani,” I said.
She turned to me, still straddling him. “Lucifer”—her voice was soft—“are you here to join?” She shifted her gaze to Tonia. “And you brought a friend.”
Eros clenched his jaw and sat up, his arms curling around Dani’s waist.
I smirked. “As much as I would like to join you, Tonia actually needs to talk to you. She got sent to Hell for fucking married women. Isn’t that what you told me?”
Tonia paused, then nodded.
“She wants to talk to you about joining your kingdom.”
Tonia nodded like this was the plan all along. “Yeah, actually, I did.”
She pulled on her robe and walked to the door. She grabbed my arm and lowered her voice. “Eros is tired and weak …” She left.
Her words weren’t off-putting or rude; they were permission.
When she closed the door behind her, I tilted my head, chuckled, and stalked toward him. He stared at me the whole time, eyes hazy. I stripped my shirt, and Eros tensed and sat up further.
“Sit back,” I ordered.
“I already told you how I feel about this, Lucifer.”
I placed one knee on the bed and crawled on. “I’m not here to fuck you.”
I grabbed his hand and placed it on the front of my pants, letting him feel my hardness. He closed his eyes, taking a deep breath.
“Unless you want me to.”
