Lucifer Page 13

“It may be a current employee, they may hate him too.”

  “This isn’t helping to narrow the list.”

  “It’s going to be a huge list. This seems deeply personal. They’re using his daughter to get to him. That smacks of family. That’s where I’d start.”

  “We can send our suggestions to Hermes mate, Cherish. Her company will probably be used to track down the clues and try to find out who is behind this.”

  “I hope they figure it out.”

  “It’s time for the band and me to head back. Are you coming to watch us?”

  She smiled at him enjoying his need for her to be there with him. “I’ll watch for a little while but I can’t stay. I have paperwork.” She explained and she knew he could tell by her expression she didn’t enjoy it. It wasn’t like most people enjoyed paperwork.

  He just smiled back grabbing her hand to pull her along with him to the music room where everyone else was already in position. He got into position and she found the closest available place so she could sit near him. Even though she’d heard all the songs now, she still loved to hear them and watching him sing was a joyful experience. Even the sad songs that made her come close to crying were cathartic for her soul. He looked at her as he sang making her feel he spoke to her soul to soul. She swayed with the music and her eyes were locked on him as the words washed over her.

  She stayed longer than she had intended, Lu just had that effect on her. He pulled her in and ruled her heart. Oh, shit! She was a goner where he was concerned. She could only hope he was sure when he told her he cared and that he didn’t change his mind. She slipped out of the room but she knew his eyes followed her as she left because she could feel his eyes burning into her back. Paperwork sucked but it was a necessary evil. It was how she tracked the work they did and the money they made. This had already turned out to be the biggest project she’d ever had both financially and as far as enacting big changes to the way big deals were made by top bands. Not many could pull off the deals she’d managed for the demons and she’d had doubts she’d be able to do it either but now it was done.

  She didn’t intend to publicize the deals she’d made but eventually they would leak out. It would only help build her reputation once they did but she was in no hurry for it to come out and she would be tied up with the demons indefinitely anyway. She headed back to her room where her laptop was set up at a small table in a corner of the room. She opened her emails and started replying as fast as she could. It was her plan to be done when Lu was so they could have supper together.

  She answered the emails in order of priority doing the business ones first then moving to the family ones. She answered Sierra’s but added Doc and Way as recipients to save time once she checked their emails and saw they were all just nosy. She didn’t satisfy their curiosity about her sex life only about how the project was going. She sent off that email and scrolled through the rest deciding there were no other ones that were urgent.

  She still had an hour to do some paperwork and send off any information she needed to send. She worked hard and her neck ached from bending over her computer. She looked at the clock noting she had ten more minutes before she planned to leave to meet Lu at the cafeteria. She finished up and leaned back in satisfaction. She’d completed more than she’d expected to finish. She could leave now and not feel guilty at all.

  She hustled down the hall to the cafeteria unable to hold down her excitement at the prospect of spending time with Lu. She’d expected her joy at being with him to start to slowly diminish as it often had with other men she’d dated. It had increased instead and she couldn’t help but wonder what it all meant. He and the band were already seated with full trays so they must have stopped a bit early. At least no one was in her way as she grabbed a tray filling it and sitting next to Lu in no time.

  “I wasn’t sure if you’d make it.” Lu whispered to her.

  “You knew I couldn’t stay away.” She joked.

  “I knew I didn’t want you to.” He admitted.

  “There was no place I would rather have gone.” She offered.

  “There’s no one I would rather have with me.” He agreed.

  “Now that we have that out of the way,” she replied, “what exciting plans did you make for us this evening?”

  He whispered, “You, me, no clothes, a bottle of champagne and endless sex is what I have in mind.”

  “Sounds delicious.” She purred.

  They both ate quickly speaking as little as possible. They had a plan and they wanted to enact it as soon as they could. Stef felt tingles of heat rush over her as she thought about what Lu said. She couldn’t wait until his hands moved over her stroking her passion higher and higher. He was a naughty devil to have such an innocent expression most of the time. She knew him too well to be fooled again by the cool façade that hid his inner heat. She ran her fingers over his thigh. The table hid anything she might do but she felt Lu shiver.

  She wanted him panting by the time they made it to his room so he’d be unable to hold back. She was on fire and she wanted him that way too. She walked her fingers across his thigh toward his groin. She heard him make a funny noise as he cut off the groan that started to rumble from his throat. She tried to hide the big grin that fought to come out. So what if she was a bad girl too? It just made her his perfect match.

  They were through with their meal and had their trays cleared in minutes. Lu grabbed her hand and dragged her out the door. His eyes gleamed with need and what was on his mind were intentions to sate them both. Stef knew she played a dangerous game when she pushed him past his ability to stay in control. The thing was she wanted to see him out of control and full of need. She was ready to try things a little rougher, she felt like she’d adjusted to his size and his strength. She hoped she was right because she would soon find out of it was true. She wasn’t afraid, if it hurt she knew Lu would gentle himself for her. He would never cause more pain than she could handle or want.

  They went through his door and he slammed it behind them before spinning her around and into his arms. More masterful and just a bit rougher than usual, it made her heart beat faster and her breathing speed up. He pulled her to him hard and his mouth devoured her. His teeth nipped her lip and his tail smacked her ass. It was so unexpected and startling she jumped. Lu chuckled, a deliciously sexy sound. Shivers ran over her as she anticipated what he might do next.

  He pulled her arms behind her and grabbed her wrists in one hand. She helplessly awaited his pleasure. His other hand grabbed one breast squeezing it just roughly enough for a sliver of pain to run through her. He leaned down and kissed it before sucking her nipple into his hot wet mouth. She moaned as sharp pangs of want shot through her. He bit lightly on the distended end of her nipple as his hand moved around her and grabbed one ass cheek squeezing as he pressed her against him. She felt his cock, hard as steel but covered in velvet press against her stomach.

  She ached to have him slam into her as hard as he could. She wanted to feel him so deep inside her that he pressed against her womb. She was wet, slick enough that he would slide in with little resistance yet he waited, torturing her with her need. She felt something slick on her stomach and realized his cock was dripping with want too. He was torturing the both of them equally. It made her feel better because after all, misery did like company.

  She moved causing his cock to bounce against her. She fought against a smile as he groaned in response.

  “Think its funny do you, my bad girl?” He growled.

  His mouth attacked hers, consuming her with more passion than ever before. As a punishment it was lacking because she loved it. Her mouth attacked him right back. She nipped his lower lip lightly and her tongue impaled him. She fought to free her arms to hold him but he refused to let her go. He resumed his attack on her senses kissing licking nipping all over her neck and breasts.

  “Oh God, Lu! I can’t take much more. I need you inside me.” She groaned.

  He growled and began to remo
ve her clothes with all haste. She tried to help but he was quicker without it. He stepped back to gaze upon her nakedness while he stripped off his clothes. Quick and efficient, it wasn’t much of a show but the results were great. He was so fucking sexy she felt a wave of moisture pool between her legs at the sight of him. He didn’t give her long to look before he picked her up to deposit her on the bed. He positioned his face between her legs and started to lick her like she was an all-day sucker. He vibrated his tongue and she jerked up against his face. The demon had some mad oral skills.

  Her hands sank into his hair sliding and twisting into the silky stands. The urge to pull him hard up against her was there but she resisted it. She arched a little every time he pressed her clit unable to help herself. Shivers of need ran from his magical tongue shooting through her faster and faster. She was on the cusp of an all-consuming explosion. Need ran rampant through her and he fed the need with his mouth and now his fingers and he sank inside her. Oooh, yesss! So close she could smell the orgasm that was about to consume her.

  He sped up his finger and his tongue and she hung on the edge so close it was killing her. He vibrated his tongue and lips and she rocketed to release, clenching and clutching at his fingers. She squeezed him so hard she was surprised he could move but he kept sliding in and out. Finally she quieted, but he kept up his oral attack until she practically begged him to ease off. He did sliding up her body and impaling her on his thick shaft.

  He kissed her and she could taste the residue of her own flavor on him but it tasted nothing like chicken to her. Not that Lu had even compared it that way. It had been an old boyfriend who favored that comparison although she suspected it was just a joke. Lu’s tongue shot into her mouth and she dueled with it. They sparred as he drove relentlessly into her hitting spots that made pleasure shoot through her. He was an incredible lover, more concerned with giving than taking and that ensured they both drowned in pleasure.

  She wrapped her legs around him pressing her toes into the soft fleshy part of his delectable ass. His cheeks flexed and relaxed as he drove in and out of her fast and hard. Even after the incomparable orgasm he’d already gifted her with, she could already feel the next one building. Delightful tension ran through her as he drove in once more. Her muscles massaged him and he groaned with need. They were both so close to diving into pleasure it wouldn’t take long now.

  “Oh God, Lu! Faster Baby.” She groaned.

  He picked up speed even though he would have said it wasn’t possible moments before. “Stef, you feel so damn good!” He exclaimed as he felt her start to tighten around his shaft.

  Her body clenched and clutched at his and as he felt her explode all around him, he joined her in that incomparable bliss.

  He jerked and bucked into her sending streams of hot cum deep inside her. Pleasure wrapped all around him and he felt drained in a pleasurable way. He rolled to the side to avoid collapsing on his female and he pulled her into his arms to snuggle her close. They fell asleep and woke several times throughout the night to enjoy each other. She loved sleeping in his bed because he was in it.

  Morning came and once again there was the rush to get everything done. Devon was back to filming. But he was only doing it in sets. They would do two songs and take a break. Devon filmed the first two songs and then he started to work on editing with her. After lunch, the band moved to the next two songs and when they took a break, he and Stef worked on the editing the rest of the day. They fell into a pattern for the rest of the week and most of the next one. They were done with filming for the video and recording for the DVD. Now they had editing and the band had two weeks before the birthday party.

  Her mind went back to the talk Zeus had with Lu, the band and her team when he filled them in on the demands that had been made to gain the freedom of the captive demon. The birthday party would be on a Saturday in Wilmoth, Texas. It was a little community supported by the Handovers. It housed their corporate offices and their biggest plant. It had been the first plant the family had owned. They’d made much of their money in investments, such as foreign mining, real estate and tourism but the plants they had built with their fortune, had become the backbone of their wealth.

  They were the first family in that area so they would be in unfriendly territory until they were miles away. It was a scary prospect the demons were facing. They couldn’t leave their brother in enemy hands, but they were risking their own freedom to save him. There was never any doubt that they would go, they would just try to minimize their risks while arming themselves in any way they could. There was no way Stef would stay behind. Her risk wasn’t as great as theirs. Whoever was behind this, wanted demons not humans.

  She was sure that the gods had checked out the family and the town thoroughly. They would cover everything they possibly could but dangers still existed. It occurred to her that if they were doing this to capture a demon better suited to them, they would be after Lucifer. After all, he was the fairest and most talented of the demons. She had already had Devon take stills of Lu and the band individually. It was a common marketing strategy. Sexy pictures would pique the interest of anyone who thought the male body could be tantalizing. Lu’s pictures had been especially sexy. So much so that she’d kept a few copies for herself. The one where he was wet and held a towel in his hand, wow!

  The band practiced every day and Devon filmed them even though the project was done. She was promoting her ass off trying to get any free publicity she could. Lu and the band was all over the feeds on both internet and television. She and her team had even done some interviews answering questions like how hard were the gods to work with, were any of them divas and did any of them hit on the ladies that were there. She’d been disappointed in how obvious the questions were but glad no one had found out about her and Lu. Not that she was embarrassed to be with him, but his single status would help the band’s popularity.

  Lu handled the press with amazing ability. They loved him and it showed. Sales for the DVDs had been record setting. The only thing marring all the good news was the worry about the captive demon and the birthday party event. Maybe because they were all so nervous the time until the trip to Texas just dragged.

  Dori had left, having to do a project she’d already committed to, but she’d be back before they went to get their demon. Everyone else was staying, even Gloria and Kiki. Gloria had turned down another offer just to stay here. Stef wondered why and Gloria said this was almost like a vacation. She couldn’t argue with that.

  Another week passed and she and Lu only got closer. She was crazy about him and she hoped he felt the same. Plans were being finalized and Sierra was planning on meeting them in Texas. Of course Zeus would be with them too since Sierra planned on going in with them. Zeus was too well known to do so without attracting unwanted attention so he would be going incognito. Stef was getting more nervous with each passing day. She was afraid to risk losing her demon. She felt certain this was a plan to steal Lu from her. To her way of thinking, who wouldn’t want a gorgeous talented demon?

  The other demons weren’t anything to throw stones at either but to her it was all about Lu. If only they could get through this thing alright, she had so many plans to help make them a success. She wanted to make a demon calendar with a demon and one of their songs for each month. Lu would be December and dress as a naughty Santa. She could just imagine him in red and white fur.

  “What are you smiling about?” Lu whispered in her ear.

  She turned bright red having been caught off guard. She replied breathlessly,” I was just looking forward to seeing you.” It wasn’t a lie exactly.

  “Seeing me how?” He asked, almost as if he knew her wicked thoughts.

  “Naked and waiting in bed for me.” She whispered.

  “I like the way you think.” He agreed. He put his arm around her waist and led her back to his room.

  Once they were inside with the door closed, he began to strip. There was no point in waiting, so she started to undres
s too. They both stood there naked staring at each other while their breathing came in pants. Who knew who moved first? It didn’t really matter because they came together like two combustible chemicals. It was a flash fire with heat consuming them as they kissed and groped body parts like they might never see one another again. It was primal and carnal, as they consumed the passion between them and tried to devour it.

  Her mouth nipped and sucked at every bare inch of flesh she could get to and it felt like Lu was doing the same. She wanted to taste and touch all of him. His salty skin with that raw male scent drove her crazy when she licked him. They were standing but she tried to urge him to the bed but he refused to budge. Stubborn demon! He finally picked her up and carried her to the bed, the place she wanted him to begin with. He dropped her there and landed on top of her but he caught his weight, most of it, on his hands.

  He used his hands and his mouth to ravish her. He sucked her nipples until they were so sensitive she could hardly stand it before he worked his way down her tummy. Shivers of anticipation ran through her as he went lower. His tongue left a wet trail that gave her goosebumps. He kissed and sucked down to her lower belly until he was just above her thighs. He blew hot air across her pussy making her shake with need. He flicked out his tongue running it over her nether lips and she almost came unglued. He came back pressing hard until his tongue slid between her lips and ran it from her channel to her clit.

  His tongue was magic, hot and wet, it knew just what to do and did it. She arched and jerked beneath him. So sensitive and in need of relief. His tongue circled and worried her clit as she moaned and thrashed needing just a little more.

  Chapter 10

  His Mate

  He knew it would take only a little push to send her into orbit but he wanted to stretch her pleasure out as long as possible. It was no hardship, he loved her taste and he liked that he could give her so much pleasure. He decided to let her cum when she started to beg and plead. Gods all had more versatile tongues than the average human. Lu thought they were longer too. His Stef certainly went wild when he unleashed it on her.
