Lucifer Read online

  Dori had her reasons to feel suspicious of men but her ill will towards a few ex-boyfriends had been transferred to all men even gods.

  “I am honest.” Homer defended.

  “Humf.” Dori derided.

  Stef just shook her head and Homer took the wiser path which was to quit arguing with Dori because she would never be convinced that way.

  “Why don’t you take a break Homer, I’m going to think about what I can attach your tail to.” Dori said.

  Stef could swear he muttered, “I have some ideas.”

  She fought the need to giggle which would have brought the wrath of Dori down on all of them. She could be disagreeable when she had to revise projects to get them to work. Dori could concentrate on one thing and one thing only to the exclusion of all else. It’s what made her so good at her job.

  “I’ll go with him.” Stef quickly offered and she was out of the room in a second. She was grateful she’d been able to escape Dori and she headed to the music room where the sounds of singing filtered out the open door.

  She entered to the sounds of Lu singing his heart out. The song was just ending and Devon was lying on the floor on his back filming at an upward angle. No one went that extra mile like Devon. He went after the difficult angles, the unexpected shots and he got them.

  Gloria had been lucky that demons liked company and many had made the effort to put on clothing that hid their extras, wings and tails, so they could keep her sister entertained. Kiki was fascinated with what she called all the hot gods and she was behaving herself, for now anyway. Gloria had outdone herself on outfitting the band and they looked like the devil’s demons with the handsome devil himself leading them.

  Lu would make feminine hearts pound and breaths pant. He looked dashing and sinful as he strode toward her with a promising smile on his face.

  “I missed you.” He whispered, as he pulled her into his arms and gave her an all-consuming kiss.

  Her power to think and even breathe was temporarily lost as she clung to him afraid she’d fall if she let go.

  “I wish I’d come by to see you sooner.” She breathed as he stepped back leaving only one arm around her waist.

  “We could always disappear.” He suggested softly in her ear.

  “You would get me in trouble. The camera crew will be ready to shoot another set soon.”

  “Life’s no fun without a little trouble.” He murmured.

  There was something to be said for his outlook, but Stef knew that you had to pick the time and the kind of trouble or things could get out of hand. It was in Lu’s nature to be tempting and in hers to be responsible. That meant trouble would have to find them later, after the work was done.

  “No fun for now, but find me later and we’ll see what we can get into.” She offered.

  “I’ll hold you to that.” he promised as he went back to work.

  Devon shot her a look that she read as him being worried about whether or not she knew what she was doing.

  Hell no, but sometimes you had to take a leap of faith and hope it wouldn’t kill you.

  That’s what she was doing now. She left the room to go check on Dori who had come up with a mount for the wings and tail. They were simple jelly like patches with a hard sheet of plastic inside to anchor to. They wrapped around Homer like a belt fastening in front. Their color and even texture seemed to match Homer’s skin.

  “I’ll blend it in with this.” She pointed to a tub of flesh colored paste. “Then use make up to make sure it’s undetectable.”

  Stef blessed Dori for no longer giving her long drawn out explanations that would only result in her getting a headache and not really help her understand the process. She had sat her down one day just months after they had started working together.

  “Dori.” She had said. “I don’t really care how you do it. I’m a result oriented person so all I need to know is that it’s done.”

  Dori had blinked a few times and Stef had hoped she wouldn’t cry. “Cool, I’m used to bosses wanting lots of details to explain why it costs so much and takes so long.”

  “Not me. I trust you to do it as fast and inexpensively as possible. That’s why you’re my expert.” Things had gone much better after that.

  “So when do you want to film your masterpiece?”

  “I’m beat. Can we do it in the morning?”

  Dori did look tired now that Stef looked closer. “Sure, can you let Devon know before you quit for the day?”

  Dori nodded and started putting up her materials.

  Stef felt an enormous sense of relief to have one major part of the project well under way. She could wrap up the bidding war for who would have the rights to show their video first. Lu was lucky that everyone wanted to know what the gods were up to. To have a group of them singing and entertaining was like TV gold. The video would be free for the public, but the networks would have to pay for the right to show it. One network would get to show it first. Other networks would get it the next day and so on until it filtered down to where every network that was interested could broadcast it.

  The bidding was fierce and rivalries between networks was pushing up the prices far past her expectations. Lu and the other demons would be thrilled. She hurried to her room to get on line. The promotion page she had made was full of networks all trying to be first. She put a deadline for final bids as noon tomorrow. That would bring out the hard hitters. She looked over the bids and a thrill raced through her. She’d not expected six figure bids but she was excited to have them. She knew the demons wanted the money to be self-supporting. It was a worthy goal for anyone.

  The project was truly up and running now. Things were beginning to happen that made it more real and made success feasible. Not that she’d had doubts, not really. Now, anyone could be convinced that this was really going to happen. Lucifer and his Demon Band was about to be launched worldwide on their own private label. Hell records was going to be a success.

  It was supper time and Lu had messaged her that he was having a private meal brought in for the two of them. He wanted to meet her on the patio outside the music room. Lu was so unexpected and completely romantic.

  Stef took a shower, dried and fixed herself up. She felt a nervous excitement at what was in some ways a first date. He was a sexy demon and she wondered if she would be able to continue to take things slowly when she wanted him so much. They were both extremely sexual creatures and it as hard to hold back.

  She walked to the music room which wasn’t far from her room. She stepped in through the doorway and Lu was the first person she saw. He had a blue drink in his hands that he sipped at and the second she stepped in the room his eyes moved to her. It was that instant awareness, her breath caught in her chest and her heart beat sped up. Her throat was dry and her lips tingled. She would swear he felt all those things too. She could see the glint in his eyes as his gaze wandered over her blue dress. It showed a nice amount of cleavage and the skirt hit mid-thigh.

  She wore what she’d heard called fuck me heels with black thigh high hose. Her satin under garments were sexy and she was sure he’d approve if he got to see them. She skipped the perfume since she knew gods had enhanced senses. Her musky body wash more than did the job. He stepped toward her as if he couldn’t wait another second to touch her. He held out his hand to escort her to the table like the perfect gentleman. His hand was warm and he gripped her hand lightly but firmly. He led her to her chair pulling it out for her. Once she started to sit he slid it forward. She‘d admit she was impressed with his courtly manner.

  He sat next to her and poured some champagne into her flute. “It’s sweet, but not as sweet as you.” He whispered.

  He handed her a deep purple orchid, her favorite color. How had he known? One of her team perhaps since they all knew. So far everything was perfect.

  The plates were set before them, Lu had porterhouse because gods had huge appetites while she had filet mignon. A garden salad, wild rice, baby carrots and for dess
ert blue berry cheesecake completed the meal. Everything was absolutely delicious. As soon as they were through, he whisked her away from the table and outside to the beach they had walked on the night before.

  “It’s paradise here.” She sighed contentedly.

  “It will be once we’re able to move about freely.” Lu agreed. “I’m glad you agreed to give me another chance.” He tugged her into his arms and kissed her gently. It was just a hint of what might come later.

  “Do you know much about the water here?”

  “Not really. I’ve had to be careful about being seen outside. All of us have to be careful.”

  “I tried to find out more about the island before I came but I couldn’t find it on any maps. The bigger island next to it is on the map but there’s barely any information. I like to go snorkeling and I thought there might be reefs or shipwrecks I could search around.”

  “There are some locals coming around in the next few days. It will probably be after the free video goes live. I plan to have a party and there will be some who have lived here all their lives and they’ll be able to answer all your questions.”

  “That’s good. Have you ever gone swimming?” She asked. She knew he’d been abused, but she didn’t really know if he’d been allowed outside or what places he’d lived.

  “I learned to swim on a mission with Poseidon. He insisted I learn just in case, though he never said in case of what and I have to say now I’m glad I did.”

  “It will come in handy here once you’re able to go outside.”

  “When will the video air?”

  “In a few days. We’ll film it in the morning and Devon and I will edit it. I foresee no difficulties with getting it done in a day, two at the most. The networks want it as soon as possible.”

  Lu smiled making him look carefree and incredibly handsome. “I’ve waited all my life for the chance to have the smallest freedom.”

  She reached out and grabbed his arm pulling him close so she could hug him. “Soon, Sweetheart. You’ll have that freedom soon.” She closed her eyes reveling in his warm strength.

  He pulled back and looked down at her. His eyes zeroed in on her lips and she knew he would kiss her. It was soft as a whisper, at first. He pressed harder and his tongue sought entrance. She sighed and he took it as an invitation to enter and explore the deepest recesses of her mouth. He plundered, driving his tongue into her mouth as she wanted his cock to drill into her hot pussy. Dare she give up and give in?

  She might be overthinking things but she was risking so much by letting herself fall like this. Yeah, it seemed too soon to feel so much for a man even a demon who was bigger and bolder than life. It didn’t seem like she had a choice because sometime bonds just formed quickly and shit just happened! She’d never believed in love at first sight.

  It was funny because there were other things that she believed you knew right away. Take the team she had chosen for this project. She had known within seconds of meeting them that they would be perfect and she had never regretted choosing one of them.

  She remembered the first time she’d interviewed Devon. She knew she would eventually strike out on her own but she was still with the big record company then. She’d started her own business but had to do films instead of records because her contract with Rippin wouldn’t allow her to work with singers. She had six more months before she could leave and she wanted something to go to when she left. Devon had come to the meeting at a coffee house full of confidence.

  “Now listen Stef, I’m good at filming. I know you’ve not seen any of my work, but it’s good. I don’t expect any special treatment because we’re friends, but I do expect you to give me a chance.”

  It had just felt right. Devon had brought in his team and she’d liked all of them. They had started with human interest stories she’d sold to networks and they’d done short videos for groups, clubs, churches and so on and even a few weddings. They’d not made much profit but it was about getting their name out there and slowly buying the equipment they would need for the business. Each project had added needed items and helped build their reputation. She had singers and bands waiting to sign up the second her contract was complete. She left on good terms with Rippin. They even hired her company for music videos from time to time.

  Dori had been next. She’d been good but inexperienced. Stef had needed someone for special effects and some mechanized creations for a music video but she’d not had the funds to go with an established company. She’d given Dori a shot and never looked back. Dori had been nervous the first time. She had needed pep talks but she had gotten through and her confidence had soared. She had become the most sought after specialist in her field. It was amazing what just one opportunity could do for someone trying to break into such a challenging field.

  Gloria was next. She just knew as soon as they started talking that this person was the one to hire. It wasn’t like she was taking much of a chance since she only interviewed qualified applicants, but she known that they would get along and that was as important as being qualified. Stef didn’t put up with drama on the job and none of her people caused any. Some of them had drama in their personal lives like Devon’s camera woman and Gloria with her sister, but they tried their best not to let it affect their jobs.

  Her mind popped back to the present as she registered Lu’s hand palming her breast through her dress. “Let’s go to my room.” He suggested.

  She only gave it a moment’s thought before she nodded. In for a penny, in for pound. She was jumping in feet first and she hoped she wouldn’t be in over her head. If she survived, it would probably be the most exciting sensual experience of her life. She shivered with nervous anticipation. Lu kept his hand on her arm as if he was afraid she might make a run for it. Maybe a hint of the fear she felt showed in her face.

  She was surprised to note that his room really was only a few steps away from hers. He’d told her it was next door but she’d thought he’d been teasing her. Whether it was coincidence or a plan, she couldn’t say and he probably wouldn’t say either. His room wasn’t any more luxurious or even larger than hers but it was plenty big for what they had in mind. The king sized bed beckoned, its comforter a soft mauve color, the sheets a deep purple and they looked like satin. She wondered if he had a turn down service or if he’d done it himself hoping to get lucky.

  She was still considering how far she was willing to go even though she was in his arms and she wanted him in the worst way. He seemed to sense her hesitation and he had no qualms about convincing her to go all the way.

  “You’re mine. I can hear you panting, your heart pounding, your panties are wet and you want me as much as I want you!” Lucifer whispered in her ear as his mouth descended on hers.

  He knew what she wanted and she knew it to. There was no going back, she would give herself to him completely and he would take all she had and give her back indescribably pleasure. She would finally know what the truth was about the secrets the demons hid.

  He stepped back and started to remove his clothing. He gave her a look and arched his brow in question. “I’m enjoying the show.” She admitted and was rewarded with a beatific smile.

  She watched as he revealed himself by inching his pants down then pulling them up as he gyrated his hips wildly. It made her imagine him inside her moving just like that. He would be a wild beast beneath or above her. When he finally dropped his drawers and kicked them away, her eyes nearly bugged out. His cock was massive and straining. It looked dangerous yet desirable. Boy was she ever messed up. He stepped up to her sliding her dress up and over her head then tossing it to the side.

  His eyes gleamed with appreciation of her lingerie. It was silky and a deep blue close to the color of her dress. The bra pushed her breasts up like an offering, one that Lu looked determined to accept. Her thong, barely covered her pussy and it left her ass cheeks hanging bare. She could feel his hands stroking them gently as he pulled her up against him. So much strength and yet he was so te
nder. He lifted her up and her legs wrapped around his waist. They rubbed against each other with each step they took and she was so hot and slick she was sure if she’d been naked, he would have slid right in despite his size. Her desire was so strong, she no longer worried about anything and only ached for him to join them.

  He placed her on the bed and joined her. “Take the bra off.” He whispered, his voice raw with need. His eyes were slightly glazed and yet he followed her every move intently.

  She did as he asked tossing it to the side once she’d undone it. She felt exposed and her nipples beaded and tingled from a combination of the cool air and his complete regard. He groaned with approval and his hands reached out hesitantly as if afraid she’d change her mind at this late juncture. She was past all second thought and hesitations. Her need ruled her.

  His hands cupped and squeeze her breasts as he moved his lips to suck in one nipple sending burst of pleasure through her. She felt something sliding up her leg and was startled at first until she realized it was his tail. Agile as a hand, it stroked her leg and moved up slowly. Her breath came in pants and her heart beat drummed. Her stomach quivered with anticipation as the point came ever higher. She felt a poke, like a needle, on the inside of her thigh. That was odd but she started relaxing and her thoughts calmed. Need was the only thing she could think of and that need was strong. His tail moved between her thighs and slid under her thong. She groaned as it slid between her petals and moved to her clit. She was so slick it glided in a circle firmly pressing against her. He continued to squeeze her breast and suck on her nipples making them incredibly sensitive.

  She felt like she was drowning in an endless sea of bliss. She rode the edge of release with Lu backing off as she neared it and then bringing her to the edge again. When he finally let her take the plunge, her climax hit her hard. She let out a keening cry as she bucked and jerked against him. Wave after wave of pleasure rolled over her, so good it had an edge of pain. Her breath came in gasps and her heart pounded like a drum. She could feel the beat of it in her ears it was so loud.
