He said that without a single bit of snark and I could play nice too. I was concentrating on the weight at my back and willing them to move.
“Sydney, you look like you have to fart, but you don’t trust it. Stop thinking so hard.”
There he was. I flipped him off.
“I wouldn’t phrase it like that, but youarethinking too hard. You don’t have to command your arms when you want to drink a glass of water. You just have to want to quench your thirst. Don’t think about it, justwantit.”
Sorry, wasn’t that the same thing? I tried to do what Nero suggested. I don’t think it was quite what they wanted. My wings suddenly snapped straight out and smacked Kujo clear across the room.
“Shit, dude, I’m sorry! I wasn’t going for a bitch slap with my wings. I was just trying to move them a little.”
Kujo shook the birds away from his head and stood up.
“I know. You only mean to assault me when I’ve got it coming. I also have wings, so I went through this. It happens.I’m a Cambion with a shitty family. I can take my knocks. Did you hurt your wings?”
Did I? I wasn’t in pain, but I was much more aware of my wings now. They flexed gently, but didn’t hurt anyone this time.
“No, I think they are fine. Does that mean something?”
“It’s a good thing,” Nero said.
“You’ll be back on your feet in no time and then Nero and Kujo can teach you to fly.”
That part was cool. If we actually had time with the shit show going on.
If you’re wondering how long an incubus on angel sex fest lasts when the Gates of Hell are crumbling and we werethisclose to finding the King of Hell, the answer was two days. I knew first hand what kind of magic an incubus had, but didn’t they get rug burn on their dicks fucking that long?
I asked that as soon as Satan showed up with Abaddon for science. No one could be that horny and I thought I could be that horny. Abaddon wasn’t offended I asked him about his dick chafing. He just threw back his head, laughed, and then winked at me.
“You jumped several steps at once, young one, but angels can heal anything.”
“I mean, the smut writer in me wants to shake your hand for abusing your angel magic to have a two-day fuck fest, but the me that got kidnapped and brought to this shit show wants to punch you in the dick for having an orgy with everything going on. It’s no fun if you can just heal it.”
“I like this one. What exactly do you expect me to do? I tend to make things worse when I use my brawn and I’ve tried to use my brain to alert us of breaches. I’ve fetched souls a few times when Satan was occupied. None of us have the ability to shore up the gate and I don’t know who took Lucifer.”
“Someone does though and they’ve seen the Beast of Eden up close. You don’t have to tap into that, we just need them to think you will.”
“Doesn’t work like that. Do you know therealreason you are sitting next to an incubus?”
I was guessing he didn’t meanthatparticular incubus because I could wax poetic for days about why I was sitting next to Nero and a lot of it had zero to do with what he looked like or his magic. He was just a great guy.
“Because I responded to the alarm and brought her here?” Nero asked.
“No. I’m going to tell you something you didn’t learn in school. Lilith didn’t end up in Hell after being banished from the garden and start creating demons as a fuck you perversion to what our father did with humans. She had a very particular reason for creating incubi and succubae. Me.
“Think about your magic. You can soothe, but you can also completely knock out an angel. Do you think the other Fallen would have allowed that if the alternative wasn’t worse? Lilith first created the succubae to control the Beast of Eden and then the incubi when it became clear I had a preference.
“I’ve had a long time to deal with my rage issues and what I did during the rebellion. I worked hard to put him in a little box, but quite literally anything could let him out again.”
Well, fuck that. From what I understood, Nero was one of the strongest incubi in Hell. He could probably knock Abaddon out without breaking a sweat. Still, I was a big fan of men who dealt with their issues and I wouldn’t put Abaddon in a situation where he’d backtrack.
“Listen, my house isn’t a sex fest all the time. I also have a thing for brilliant minds and scintillating conversation. Balmaz and Dornon are smart in different ways. Dornon is an artist who knows anything and everything about the greats from multiple realms. Balmazshouldbe working as either a programmer or an engineer, but a lot of people think an incubus isn’t smart enough for that.
“He helped me design the alarm system when there’s a breach. There’s not much we can do with anything from forty-six years ago when Lucifer was taken, but we might be able to figure out who attacked Satan and spying on you. I’m not completely ignorant, little one. Satan is the only one I tolerate lately, and he keeps me abreast of what’s going on.”
That could work. And it actually made a lot of sense. I liked sex just as much as the next woman, but I didn’t want to have sex all the time either, even if I could just heal myself and keep going.
Twenty-four hour sex just sounded reallysticky.
