"A hundred years." Thrust.
"A thousand years." Thrust.
"Time has no meaning for us, my love." Thrust. Thrust. Thrust. "And I'll love you through all of it."
There was something there I needed to think about. Something in that statement needed to be explored but As was moving in earnest now and I couldn't think as he used his grip on my hips to help move me up and down overhim. Every downward stroke brought my clit in contact with his pelvis, and I was quickly brought back to the edge.
When he reached between us to circle my clit, I stopped thinking entirely. There was a single thought in my mind as I fell over the cliff.
"Mine."
Chapter
Eighteen
"You don't know what you're asking, love." Asmodeus said.
I was sitting at my vanity trying to tame my hair into something presentable after As had completely destroyed it. I was being officially presented to Lucifer and the rest of the demon lords. After a week in Hell, mostly in Asmodeus' bed, it was really starting to sink in. What I'd done and what I'd given up. I turned to look back at As, where he still laid lounging on the bed. What I'd given up, but also what I'd gained.
As spoiled me. He worshiped me. He cared for me and gave me everything I wanted. Everything but this. This one thing I was absolutely determined to have.
"I am asking for you to guarantee my friends' happiness and security. I don't think it’s too much to ask." I tucked a strand of hair back behind my ear and picked a pair of diamond studs from the case of earrings.
As had spent most of the year I'd been trying to escape him preparing for me. I had a full cabinet of jewelry, a closet the size of my old bedroom filled withclothing. Some of which I wouldn't be caught dead wearing, but most of it perfectly fit my style. So much of it was the style I'd wear if I had the money to dress however I wanted. As wasn't lying when he said he knew me. He understood me. He accepted me. All parts of me.
"Releasing a demon into the wild isn't something done lightly." As came to stand behind me, wrapping a hand around my bare neck and using his grasp to pull me back against him.
"I'm not asking lightly." I wiggled back against him, feeling his cock between my shoulder blades. I was so going to need a quick shower before we left. "I'm also not going to accept no for an answer. Are they really so terrible they can't be released? Are they going to reign chaos down on Earth?"
As didn't speak. His hand slid down into the gap of my silky robe, and cradled my breast. I knew he was stuck. Either he admitted they weren't the type of demons to cause problems or he admitted to sending evil demons to seduce the most important people in my life.
I tilted my head to the side, allowing As access to my neck. He pressed an open-mouthed kiss to my throat and scraped his teeth over it.
"I can't, love." Another slow kiss. "The demons pose no risk to your friends or the planet at large but releasing them sets a dangerous precedence I cannot allow."
I started to pull away from him, but his other hand came to my neck, holding me in place while he continued to toy with my breast. I hadn't been trying to punish him. I wanted to face him while he explained. Clearly, he had other plans. He usually did. The demon was insatiable.
"What I can do is promise you, an unbreakable bond.They are free to live out their lives as mortals until your friends' time comes. Then they come back to me."
"What about my friends?" I gripped As' wrist where it held me in place. “What happens to them?”
Asmodeus nibbled down my neck to my shoulder. I needed to stop him. We needed to have this conversation, but I needed to get ready to go too. I did not want to officially meet everyone with sex hair. But damn, it felt good.
“It’s up to them. They can go wherever they’re meant to go or they’ll be given a choice to come here.” He licked the column of my neck and a chill went through my whole body. “They have to decide for themselves, love. You can’t make the choice for them. They’re welcome here and I won’t leave them to the lower ranks of Hell but it’s still Hell.”
I had been so isolated with Asmodeus, I wasn’t sure exactly what that meant. I needed to figure it out, though. My friends didn’t deserve an eternity in Hell if it meant any kind of suffering for them.
“It’s good enough.” I dug my nails into the wrist I held until he released me enough to turn on the stool to look at him. “For now.”
“Violet…”
“Shush. We have thirty minutes before we have to leave.” I reached out and stroked the cock standing erect at eye level. “Can’t you think of something better to do with your time?”
“You’re going to be the end of me, little witch.” His hands came to my hair as I took him into my mouth. I popped off his cock to smirk up at him.
“Did you learn your lesson?”
“Lesson?” He echoed stupidly.
