I clenched my jaw. The man held a certain familiarity and power in the way he spoke and held himself. He reminded me of Trevon when he was possessed. He must’ve been from the Kingdom of Wrath, possibly the Commander of Wrath himself, Sathanus.

A waiter placed a plate of food in front of him and nearly knocked over his drink. He slammed his fists against the table, and I jumped. Yep, definitely from Wrath. I turned away from him.

Javier cleared his throat. “Dani.”

Oh, great. Here we go.

“How’s my dear friend Trevon doing? I’m assuming you two aren’t together anymore since you’re here with two of Hell’s finest.”

I balled my hands into fists under the table. He had some nerve asking about Trevon, especially because he was the reason for our breakup and for him being possessed. I took a deep breath through my nose and bit back my anger. It would be exactly what he wanted. “He’s doing fine,” I said. “Thanks for asking. Maria is doing well too.”

Sathanus snatched his drink from the table. “Lucifer, I didn’t think your pride would let you sink so low to have a human pet.”

Lucifer placed his elbows on the table and leaned forward, brow arched. “Still trying to get under everyone’s skin, Sathanus? Seems like you could use your time doing something more useful like, maybe, actually commanding your kingdom instead of burning everything to the ground.”

After slamming his fists against the table, Sathanus stood. His eyes blazed red. “I will not take this disrespect. You and the pet were not invited here.” He glared at Lucifer with so much hatred. “Remove them this instant or I will.”

My heart raced, and I suddenly got flashbacks of Trevon freaking out on me that first night. Eros placed his hand on the inside of my thigh and rubbed it gently, trying to calm me down.

I gazed at the meat on the center of the table and tried to control my breathing. God, I should’ve brought a cross.

“Dani and I were invited by Lord Eros,” Lucifer said.

I didn’t know which commander was scaring me more—Sathanus who was about to flip the table or Lucifer who was frighteningly calm right now.

Some succubi sashayed over, pushed Sathanus back down, and sat on his lap. His eyes still blazed, but when he snaked his arms around the women’s tiny waists, the color faded.

Eros’s father cleared his throat and placed his Passion Delight on the table. “We don’t call pets by their names, Commander,” he said to Lucifer. “She’s a pet, and that’s all. Call her what she is.”

“She’s not a pet,” Eros said, tensing.

His mother laughed. “Eros, baby, she isn’t anything more than that. Why don’t you get yourself a true succubus? Someone who could actually please you.”

Damn these people. I could please Eros. I could please him, couldn’t I?

She stood and leaned over the table, flashing her cleavage to everyone. I turned away in disgust. “Girls!” she said, flicking her manicured finger behind us. Two succubi walked up to us.

One sat on Eros’s other leg and pressed her breasts against his chest while the other ran her fingers up and down his horns.

Eros tensed, and his eyes darkened just enough for me to tell that he enjoyed how she touched him. I pressed my lips together and stared at the table. Could I really please Eros?

He dug his fingers into my side and shoved the woman off of his lap. “What the fuck are you doing, Mother?” He stared at the two succubi. “Get the fuck away from me.” He was seething, and I felt like our whole plan was ruined.

Lucifer pulled me onto his lap, placing his hands on my waist and holding me to him. Eros stood and slammed his hands against the table. “Why do you insist on fucking with my life?”

“You will sit down now,” his father said. “Or you will be escorted to the portal with your filth of a pet.”

Javier smirked across the table, and I had the sudden urge to hurl my fist at him.

“If you want your banishment to be lifted, you will sit,” his mother said.

I brushed my fingers against his and noticed that he didn’t have on his ring anymore. He looked down at me with black eyes, growled in frustration, and sat.

The girls hovered around us while we ate. I watched them lightly graze their fingers against the back of Eros’s neck, lean a little too close to him, and even speak in those damn seductive tones that could work on anybody.

Lucifer leaned closer to me, lips against my ear. “You need to eat.”

I snatched my fork and stabbed it into the lasagna, because I wasn’t about to eat whatever kind of meat was sitting in the center of the table that Sathanus couldn’t stop devouring.

After eating about half my plate, I glanced up to see Javier staring at my breasts. I wrinkled my nose. What a damn disgusting—

Javier looked me in the eyes. “Eros,” he said. “I don’t see what your problem is. You have Commander Lucifer and the pet as your lovers. If you’ve truly accepted the way of the incubi, you shouldn’t have a problem letting a couple of beautiful women sit on your lap.”

I hated that man. Hated him so much.

Lucifer gripped my waist a little tighter, so I couldn’t move. “He doesn’t have a problem with it. In fact, girls!” He motioned for them to come closer. “Why don’t you escort Eros to a Lust Room?”

My eyes widened. What the hell did he think he was doing? When Eros refused to go—and he would—this was all going to get much worse for the three of us.

Eros took a deep breath and stared at me as the demons sauntered over to him, swaying their hips from side to side. They were so damn sexy. I didn’t know how anyone could resist them.

They wrapped their filthy arms around my Eros.

“Make sure you girls do a really good job. He’s been tense lately.” Lucifer winked at them.

They wouldn’t have to because he wasn’t actually going to go with them. He wouldn’t. He told me he wouldn’t do anything I wasn’t comfortable with. There was no way he’d let them take him to a Lust Room.

Eros looked away from me and stood.

The girls giggled into his neck, their lips trailing up the sides of it. I sat there with my brows furrowed. No, no, he wouldn’t go. He was just going to push them away again.

He looked at Lucifer, then turned away—not sparing me a single glance. And, at that moment, I didn’t know what to think. All I could do was watch helplessly as he walked down the hall with his arms curled around their waists.

Dani

I had been hanging onto a thread of hope that Eros wouldn’t actually do anything with them, but when I heard that door shut my heart broke. It was like Trevon all over again, but worse.

Lucifer rubbed my thigh in a soothing way and leaned close to me. “It’ll be okay,” he whispered.

I didn’t even want to be here anymore. All I wanted was to curl up in my bed with Maria’s arms around me and cry. For Mom, for Trevon, for Eros. It was stupid but I couldn’t help it.

I felt broken.

Dinner continued in silence, and I was sure that everyone just wanted me to hear the moans coming from the Lust Rooms. Lucifer tried to reassure me that there were many Lust Rooms here, but I didn’t care. Every minute that Eros wasn’t here with me hurt.

He was probably shoving them against the walls, thrusting into them, making them beg the way he always made me do. And I was stuck looking at his asshole brother and wondering why I ever agreed to this.

When dinner was over, Lucifer pulled me up. “Smile, Darling.”

I hurried to the other side of the room, not being able to listen to those damn screams any longer. “What is there to smile about? I’m in Hell and my boyfriend is fucking two girls in a Lust Room right now.”
