I know he values being part of the team, though I wouldn’t have cared if he wanted to stay home with Tabby while we fight.

Things have gotten worse, and both sides are losing people every day.

The only major advantage we have is that we keep getting more souls in Hell than Heaven does. So we’re able to replenish our armies at a higher rate. I’m not sure what it’s going to take to end this, but if we have to kill every angel there is, I will.

Hell is my home, and I love the demons I have here. I’m willing to do whatever it takes to win this thing.

Toth comes running up behind me and whispers in my ear, “You need to go to sorting,” he says. I look back at him and tilt my head. He gives me a look, and I realize who’s there waiting for me.

“I won’t be home late, I promise,” I say, reaching up and giving him a kiss.

“You better not. I need my girl tonight,” he replies. I grin at him and nod. We’re on a bit of a rotation. It took lots of fighting because Toth doesn’t think it’s fair that Elvor and Judd share a night and also have individual nights. That’s how Toth ended up with two nights a week. And tonight is one of his nights.

There have been a few more free-for-all fuck-fests. But if I’m being honest, I prefer one on one time. It’s also easier with Judd and Elvor together at the same time, but whenever they all want me together I make it happen.

“Can you give cuddles to Tabby for me?”

“You’re lucky I fucking love you. I can’t believe you named her after that fucking show,” he says.

“And you’re lucky I love you. Still at the bottom of the pyramid, though,” I remind him with a laugh. He swats my ass and shakes his head. Toth loving Tabby as much as me has been the biggest surprise since I was gifted, my sweet demon baby. I can’t wait to get back to my fluffy girl, but I have pressing matters at hand. Hell has a very special guest waiting for me.

Elvor is behind Toth, and I run, jumping into his big fae arms before I have to portal off. “I’ve got to go handle something. Can we make brownies before bed?” I ask him. He shakes his head at me and gives me a salacious kiss.

“Brownies after murder? Only you,” he comments.

“You love it,” I reply.

“And I love you,” he says, holding me tightly.

Each one of them brings out a different piece of me. With Elvor, I feel like I could do no wrong. He truly understands every dark crevice of me and loves me for it. Judd gives me the type of love you read about in books or see in movies. He’s really become the person I can depend on to give it to me straight but be gentle at the same time. And Toth… he’s my fire. Every day with him is exciting, and it’s fun to push each other’s buttons from time to time. He also understands more about my past than the other guys. Having the three of them is beyond any realm of understanding.

He kisses me one more time and lets me go.

I portal directly to the sorting area, looking into the rooms with each soul. This place is so much cleaner and nicer than the pit. It’s fucked up in the best way. Everything is sterile and white, making the dead think they’re in Heaven. The longer I’m here, the more I can appreciate my father’s dark humor.

She’s crumpled in the corner when I open the door.

When she sees me, she scoffs, rolls her eyes, and holds her knees tight to her body.

“I didn’t think you would be joining us so soon.”

“Yeah, me fucking either,” she spits angrily.

“It had to be done,” I say matter-of-factly. This isn’t how I remember her, not one bit. She seems different, not as bubbly and carefree as the last time we met–which was probably under better circumstances, at least for me. She’s really quite lucky to be coming to Hell with a direct pass to demonhood.

She stands up, her long red hair falling around her face. “What had to be done?” she asks.

“You had to become a demon somehow,” I say, wondering if this girl is stupid or something.

“Yeah, well, my cousin sure as fuck didn’t need to kill me to get me here.”
