“First of all, I’ve never met God and up until I blew the roof off my house and ended up here, I didn’t believe in any of this. But something tells me if I was literally God and I wanted to spank my kid for starting a rebellion by making Hell the equivalent of grounding him to his room, I’m not going to put a little loophole in there where his kid can take his punishment.Whatever the answer is to stabilizing Hell, it’s not just my DNA. But I’m committed to finding out the answer if we can’t find Lucifer because I’m looking for him, too.”

“She has my full assistance and resources,” Satan said.

The rest of the princes agreed, but Satan was the only one I believed. Abaddon wasn’t here. I had a feeling he was sleeping. This wasn’t really his thing. The rest of the princes weren’t going to help. If anything, they were going to get in my way.

And based on how he was looking at me, I really needed to be worried about Asmodeus trying to take me out.

It had been a very long, but exciting day. I got to spar with one of my idols, tag along on a fugitive soul trip, I got permission to read a fallen, and I was pretty sure Sydney punched Asmodeus in the dick in front of every reporter in Hell. That last one was extra exciting. As the Prince of Lust, he was supposed to be looking out for my kind, but he was responsible for all the shitty laws where we could barely use our magic unless we were making someone else feel good.

I thought we were all going to find a bed and go to sleep. We crashed on the big sectional and while it was comfortable, I didn’t think we’d be doing it again. Sydney had other ideas, and it just made my daysomuch better.

“I don’t suppose you want to make another puppy pile to sleep in again?”

Idefinitelydid. My kind craved touch. I already knew Celix would, too. I’d been picking up enough vibes from Kujo that if he just got over the fact that she made him pay when he deserved it, he wanted to snuggle with her, too. Actually, I was picking up more hate fucking vibes than cuddly teddy bear, but she was semi open to that as well.

“Yes, but I need to shower first.”

Sparring with Wrathhog was a lot of work. She didn’t make it easy, and I loved every minute of it. Celix agreed, too, and also wanted to bathe. I looked at Kujo through my lashes. I knew she frustrated him, but she also intrigued him. Kujo wouldn’t do well with a passive wife. He needed a woman who would constantly challenge him.

Sydney was actually perfect for that. And it meant a lot to Celix and me that we put on faces like she was more used to and she preferred us as we were. Celix and I were usually fine with kids, but if we needed to go to the mortal realm and deal with adults, we had to put away our more demonic features. I loved that she preferred us without the glamour.

I jumped in the shower in one of the guest rooms. Huh. Lucifer had the same body wash I used. It wasn’t the really expensive stuff you could only buy at a boutique that would have given me stink eye the whole time I was there because they thought I was going to shoplift. This stuff was made by a Succubus and you could only buy it from her stall in the market.

I couldn’t see Lucifer attending a market in the shitty part of town. His servants probably did, but I was guessing he liked it enough to not correct them. This stuff smelled amazing. Lia had been approached by upper demons to repackage it with their face on it like they made it for a minuscule portion of the sale and she kept telling them to get fucked.

I did a quick shower because I really wanted to cuddle Sydney. I usually slept naked, but I thought that might be a little much. Still, I got the feeling she’d prefer boxers and nothing else.

Yeah, I knew I was right when I stepped into the bedroom she’d chosen and she was only wearing a bra and panties. Also, I was an Incubus. Nearly everyone in Hell wanted to fuck me. I don’t thinkanyonehad ever looked at me how Sydney was looking at me right now. It was utterly filthy and held so much promise.

“Sorry, I’m probably making you uncomfortable. You’re just beautiful and I shouldn’t stare just because you’re an Incubus.”

“I don’t mind it when you do it. I like it.”

I did. Because she was everything I wanted and everything Hell told me I couldn’t have. And she didn’t give a shit about any of that. Sydney wasn’t going to let anyone tell her what to do. I loved that about her.

We were having a moment, and I thought we might actually kiss. I was wondering what her lips tasted like, but then Celix came in and interrupted. He also had similar ideas about sleeping in his boxers. Ugh. Celix was practically my brother, but I was really resisting the urge to smack him with my tail.

Sydney threw up her hands, and I subconsciously covered my dick because I didn’t want it smashed and I didn’t know why she was angry.

“Is everyone in Hell stupid hot? Seriously, my boobs do this stupid thing without support and you’re both perfect.”

I felt the Incubus rise to the surface. I could have pushed him down, but I didn’t really think she wanted me to.

“Your breasts look perfect to me. You’d have to take the bra off so we can peer review.”

“Nero—oh, holy shit,” Celix said.

Because Sydney popped that bra off and flung it right at Celix’s face. From what I’d been told, Lucifer had been the mostbeautiful of all the angels and Sydney looked just like him. She was perfect. She lifted her chin as she stared at us and I felt my cock harden.

“I don’t know, Sydney. They still look perfect to me.”

I’d probably have to put them in my mouth to be sure, but until she gave me the go ahead, I wasn’t making a single move. I’d also tamped down on my magic because I didn’t want to influence her. They would say I did, but Celix was here as a witness. I was strong for an Incubus, so everyone in this house would know when I did.

“Maybe you should get over here and check then. You, too, Celix. I wasn’t really planning on sex tonight and then you had to come in here with your muscles, fangs, and tails in just your boxers and my vagina decided she wanted to play with some demons.”

Fuck.Something told meweweren’t going to be able to handleherfirst time with demons.

“Do you want the Incubus, Sydney?”
