“What are you two talking about?” Desmond asked, ruining the moment. He had zero chill sometimes.

“After I became a fallen angel, Michael and I were forbidden from seeing each other. I couldn’t go to Heaven anymore to see him and could only meet on earth. That proved to be dangerous,so I built him his own portal to Hell, so we could see each other whenever we wanted to.”

“Moon and sun, that’s so romantic,” Diana sighed.

Um, we made her ear ornaments for Christmas! Out of her ex-boyfriend’s ears!Voice shouted.

I blocked him out, focusing on Lucifer. “Where is it?”

“Not where,what. It’s in a ring I gave to Michael. All he has to do is think of me, and it’ll open for him wherever he is,” Lucifer explained.

Michael pulled a chain out from under his shirt. A black, shiny ring hung from it. “I always wear it, just not on my hand anymore…”

I could cut the tension in here with a plastic knife,I linked my Little Goddess.

Seriously, these two had to get their shit together and win my mom back.She smiled at me, then pointed at her hand. I was so absorbed in trying to strategize, I didn’t notice she wore my teeth ring.

I fought the urge to bring her back to her bedroom and fuck her senseless. I could wait for tonight…or at least try to.

Michael put the ring on his left ring finger, and his face twisted in pain. He swayed a bit where he stood, and Lucifer caught him, sitting him down next to Diana. The wall with the projection shook as a wooden, nondescript black door appeared. It blended in with the drab, neutral decor of the barrack.

Lucifer stepped up to the door and put his hand on it. His magic felt…dark, like karma met the cosmos. There was no way to describe it. The man awed and terrified me at the same time. “My magic isn’t picking up anything on the other side. But I’m more powerful in Hell, so I can’t say for sure.”

“How are youmorepowerful in Hell?” Diana asked. She walked to the door, then put her hand on it. “Nothing. I don’tfeel anything good too bad on the other side. It’s completely neutral…”

“Can’t we just peel in and see?” Mal asked.

“I haven’t ruled Hell for a long time. Someone could have changed the room the door leads to…” Lucifer said. “But we won’t know until we try.” He opened his palm, spreading it across the room. The whole space turned pitch black until he lit the tip of his finger with a flame. “That should hide everyone and our location.”

I eased behind him, in case he needed backup. He opened the door, using the flame to guide his way. The other side was a barren, desert field. Nothing grew, and the sun was high in the sky beating down on the parched soil. The city skyline was visible in the distance, not too far away. Lucifer snapped his fingers, and the view melted before my very eyes, revealing a bedroom.

“The desert illusion still works,” he said to Michael.

“We have a way in!” Diana exclaimed. Her magic beamed across the room, and my own teemed under my skin in response.

“Okay, let’s get a game plan together…” I had a feeling Red’s army wouldn’t know what hit them.

MAL

“You’re not close enough,” Diana said as she wiggled closer to me.

“I’m not sure how much closer I can get unless you wear me as a skin suit, Queen.” Her entire body was pressed against mine, and her ass was literally swallowing my hard dick. The only thing between us was two thin layers of underwear and the band tee shirt she always stole from me when we slept together.

“I’m so done with people-ing,” she said around a yawn.

By the time we drew up our invasion plans, had dinner, and contacted the leaders of the many factions that made up our army, we were exhausted. It was already past midnight, and Lucifer and Ares were still making arrangements. We made an excuse to leave early, then hit the sack.

“I can’t believe we’re deploying in less than two days…” Lucifer had told us that we needed to be ready to move as soon as tomorrow evening.

“Everything is changing so fast… this is it, Mal. The war is going full throttle once we take over Pandemonium…” She inhaled sharply and sighed.

“Getting anxious about this is natural. It’s a huge undertaking to invade and keep a city, but it has to be done. We’ll take a nap and forget about it until the morning,” I said, nuzzling my face in the space between her neck and shoulder. We’d taken so many cat-naps while we were away. It was our way to destress and reach some kind of inner peace.

“I missed the guys while we were away, but I’m glad we had that time together,” she whispered, her voice slightly raspy from how tired she was. “We’re so close now…”

She moved around again, trying to find her sweet spot. She was a restless sleeper, which meant she constantly ground her ass into my dick and tucked her cold feet in between my calves. It meant I had to have some self-control, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. Unless I could sleep with her facing me, because her tits were the ultimate pillow. My favorite things to lay my head on at night.
