“That remains to be seen. But every day that passes is one day closer to Lucifer getting what he’s after.” I made a point to meet and hold each of their gazes. “It is imperative that we do not fail.”
“Again with the we, like he’s gonna step up to the plate,” Sin said with a roll of his eyes.
I ground my teeth together, needing more effort than usual to keep myself in check. Sin was begging for a beating, and I wanted so badly to deliver it. But that would encourage his bad behavior. If he knew it got a rise out of me, he’d only redouble his efforts to do it again.
Chaos must have sensed the violence simmering within me. He moved across the room and snatched the highball glass out of Sin’s hand, drinking the remains of the whiskey in one go. “Leave it to me.”

MALICE
“Oh, my little hellcat, what are you up to now?” I muttered as I watched the screen record of her computer from the comfort of my room. She had no idea I had this kind of access, but really, what kind of self-proclaimed protector would I be if I didn’t make sure she wasn’t getting herself into trouble?
She hadn’t begun a session, so I couldn’t see her, but watching her scroll through comments and messages was entertaining in and of itself. Especially when she got to a few of mine. Of course, she didn’t know it was me, and she wouldn’t if I had anything to say about it.
TheSingularity: I like the pink, but I think purple would look better on you.
Merri-Go-Round: And here I thought you were going to say you’d like it better on your bedroom floor. Way to keep me on my toes, cutie.
I scrolled back up to her original post and the photo of her in nothing but a robe, holding up two options for the day. Her hair was in a thick braid, her face free of makeup, and she held a pink pair of leggings in one hand, a deep violet in the other.
Fuck me, she was striking. There was no question about that. A natural beauty by any definition.
MakeItClap22: Damn, baby girl. What if we just drop these options on the floor and you go naked?
URDreamLover: I’m with MakeItClap22. Let’s have a naked day.
Magic_Fingie_Dingies: I could give you a massage. Then you could give me one... with your mouth
EverySteve: Yoga? I love your yoga sessions.
OnMyKnees4U: Yoga is better with friends. I’ll be your partner! We can practice some new positions.
Thesesupportersof hers were nothing more than a bunch of lecherous bastards. It was a good job she was feeding from them. If all she was getting was money, I’d already have corrupted the entire website and burned it down.
Thankfully, not everyone was as disgusting. She had a few more respectable comments sprinkled in as well.
Brookec_reads: Okay, but where did you get those? They look so soft.
PrettyPenny: One for today, one for tomorrow. Why choose, baby?
bookwhore69: The bralette is cute, but will it actually keep the girls contained? Mine always try to escape.
Estar92: Can you link me to your favorite yoga channel online? I’m getting supes bored with my usuals.
Merri had made a point to respond to all of them with the requested links and information. Now that I was getting to know her, I could tell she enjoyed those interactions far more than the ones with her more... excited fans. Though I’d be willing to bet she was also a fan of mine. Her comments felt more genuine and less like her persona.
Unable to help myself from testing my theory, I typed out a quick response to her comment.
TheSingularity: You said it, not me... and it would be rude of me to disagree with a lady.
Her reply came almost instantly, a wicked sort of glee bubbling up inside me as I watched her type.
Merri-Go-Round: Is that an invitation? How forward of you. You haven’t even bought me dinner yet and already you’re trying to get me out of my clothes.
Before I could respond, a DM popped up on her screen, interrupting the flirty banter I shouldn’t have been enjoying.
