Dad arched his brows.“My soul is so black, my sperm doesn’t work very well.It will take lots of practice before we get so lucky.”
Ew, had he and Mom done it more than once?I’d always been under the impression it had been a poor choice one-night stand.
Selina dropped her gaze to his shiny shoes and then dragged it up to his slick hair, pausing for an unnecessarily long time on the groin area.She licked her lips.“I think I’m up for it.”
“You need to be sure,” Dad said, wagging his finger at her.“Consent is important.Even to the devil.”He glanced over his shoulder.“Also, you’re going to have to quit this place.”
“That’s okay.I can’t stand coffee.And one of the residents.”
Dad arched his brow.
“I’m sure,” Selina said, boldly stalking toward him and wrapping her arms around his neck, one leg around his thigh.Yep, there was the ass cheek.“Absolutely sure.”
This was officially weirding me out.
Dad pressed a hand to the small of Selina’s back and tossed a spell over his shoulder.All the demon chatter going on while we were having our private conversation abruptly stopped.
He turned himself and Selina to face the crowd.
“New plan, minions,” he announced.“I’m going to create a new spawn.A better spawn.”Glancing over Selina’s head, he winked at me before turning back to his followers.
“Let’s go home!”
A rousing cheer cut off abruptly when Dad zapped a nearby demon, turning him to dust.
“What was that for?”Selina asked, sounding almost giddy.
“He looked at you funny.”
She kissed his cheek.
Huh.As weird as it was, maybe this would work out after all.
Dad threw his arms into the air, and I raised my own, in front of Asmoday and Krishna, taking several steps backward and shunting them along with me.
“Back to Hell,” Dad announced, and then he tossed magic at the moat.
Nothing happened as far as I could tell, but his minions trudged forward anyway.I kept backing up, Asmoday and Krishna inching along with me, until we were standing to the side, next to the last building on the block.
The minions flooded toward the moat, six or seven wide, and suddenly, all but the two in the middle stepped off the edge and into the murky water.
The two in the middle walked across the water and slipped through a minuscule opening in the hellmouth.
Apparently he’d created an invisible bridge and none of them seemed to know how wide it was.
“Why don’t they just fly across?”Asmoday asked.
“Don’t ask questions.This is too entertaining,” I replied.
“Are you sure you aren’t interested in…?”Dad trailed off.
“Positive,” I assured him.Watching demons fall into a moat where a kraken was waiting for dinner was reasonably innocent fun.
Managing any part of Hell?
Not.
“Your loss,” Dad said.I begged to differ but didn’t say as much.No need to press when we were this close to being rid of him and his brethren.
