Chapter 63: Guilt

Colten’s POV

The only demon I found at the club just wanted sex. She said, and I quote, “I’ll be the best you’ve ever had.” Yeah right. The best I’ve ever had is the only reason I’m seeking out Lucifer.

I get a group text from Brent.

Brent: found him

Me: where should we meet up

Brent: I’ll tell you when after I talk to him a bit, we’re working on a deal and plan

Damien: be careful

Joel: don’t fuck this up

Sebastian: don’t be an idiot

Garrett: call us as soon as you can

I’m still worried about Max. It’s super unusual that he disappeared and hasn’t reached out to us. His phone is turned off and we left him in Vegas. I have a bad feeling about it.

“What do we do now?” Garrett asked.

“I don’t know, I answered.” We all met back up at the hotel and were just waiting on word from Brent. I don’t like the idea of him meeting up with Lucifer by himself but it’s too late for that now.

After a bit of silence Sebastian spoke up, “I hope that Sophie is ok. We can assume she wasn’t originally supposed to be kidnapped but she was because she was with Rose. I just don’t like the idea of her being a disposable pawn.”

We’re all overcome with worry for the girls and the babies. Fuck graduation, and I don’t care if I get fired as long as Rose, Sophie and the babies are okay.

Finally after a few hours we get a call from Brent.

Joel put the phone on speaker.

“The plan is set and the deal is made.” Is all Brent said.

“What plan? What deal?” I asked.

“Don’t worry about the details. Everything is taken care of. Just be thankful that Lucifer is going to help us. We got really lucky.” Brent said.

“Where are we meeting?” Joel asked.

“WE aren’t meeting. This is a solo mission that Lucifer is going on. He’s going to make an appearance with his brother and figure something out. Either way we’ll get the girls back. He said just give him a couple days.” Brent said.

A couple days? That’s a hell of a wait to see if this plan even works.

“Get your ass back here.” Joel barked.

“Aye, aye captain.” Brent answered.

Next thing we know Brent suddenly materialized in front of us.

“Damn!” Garrett jumped back at Brent’s sudden appearance.

“The hardest part is going to be sitting tight and waiting.” Brent said.

“What did you offer him?” Joel asked.

Brent suddenly looked uncomfortable, “don’t worry about it, it was a small errand. Let’s just get some rest and wait for our mate.”

Maximus’s POV

“I can feed my own damn self!” I snapped at Monica.

“But baby-“ she started.

“Don’t but baby me. I’m a grown ass man.” I grabbed the fork from her and continued eating the pasta she made.

“Max, sweetheart, don’t be so short with me. I love you and I’m just trying to help.”

I felt bad for snapping but I couldn’t take it anymore, she’s treating me like a baby that can’t do anything.

“Monica, please leave me alone.” I put my fork down and walked away. I tried leaving out the front door but it was locked.

“Monica, what the hell? Why is this door locked?” I asked.

“I didn’t want you to wander off since you don’t have your memories.” She answered.

I growled and went to go lay down on the bed.

“Sweetheart, don’t be mad at me. I know you are confused but trust me when I say that we are in love and I’ll take care of you.” She cooed at me. She stroked my thigh and worked her way up before caressing my cock through my pants. I felt myself harden at the sensation. Fuuuuuck that feels so good.

“Let me take care of you, baby.” She moaned before pulling down my pants and underwear. She took my length and slowly licked up the underside before swirling her tongue on the tip. I grew harder and longer in her mouth as she began to swallow me down. Shit she doesn’t have a gag reflex. She squeezed her throat every time my dick pumped through it. I began to thrust harder and faster until finally I exploded in the back of her throat. She moaned as she licked me clean. I finally noticed that she had her hand in her jeans and was playing with herself.

“Ahhh, ahhh, oh Max!” She cried out as she came in her pants. I could smell her release and it made me want more. I groaned, unable to help myself.

“Are you ready for me to ride you?” She asked. I thought it over but something was stopping me.

“I’m tired,” I said, trying to distract her. She sighed, obviously disappointed.

“Go to bed then, you’ve had a long day.” She said.

I laid down and thought over what I’ve learned today. I’m missing something and Monica is hiding something. I just need to find out what.

But why do I feel this overwhelming sensation of guilt?

Rose’s POV

I jolted awake. Something wasn’t right. I yawned and stretched before I noticed that Asmodeus wasn’t in the bed with me.

I padded to the bathroom to relieve myself and finally made my way to the living area. He was there sitting on the couch, looking at his phone with his brows furrowed.

“What’s the matter?” I asked.

“We must return to our home in Hell. My brother is coming to visit us. Apparently he’s curious about my new bride.” He said.

“Why must we go?” I asked. I was too afraid to go back to Hell. At least while we were traveling I felt like I was on familiar soil.

“Don’t question me, love. The visit won’t be very long, I’m only going to host him a few days.” He said.

I pouted at his refusal to stay.

“Well my dear, are you ready? I’m sure Sophie misses you.” He said.

That’s right! How could I forget my friend? I’ve slowly been going mad with my thoughts becoming obsessive over Asmodeus.

“Let’s go then.” I answered.

He snapped his fingers and then we were back in the familiar living space of his home. Supposedly our home.

“Rose!!!” I heard a loud squeal before I was attacked by Sophie.

“Sophie! Have you been well? Did Levi try anything on you?” I whispered the last part.

“He’s been trying but I’ve denied him. What about you? Have you been behaving?” She asked.

“I need to talk to you about that.” I whispered, ashamed of what I’ve done. She nodded, understanding that here wasn’t the place for that discussion.

“Well ladies, you may go to visit with each other while I meet with Levi to discuss business. Try to behave.” He winked at me before he walked off.

Sophie grabbed my hand and dragged me to her room.

“Tell me everything.” She prompted as soon as we plopped on her bed. I spent over an hour recalling to her our travels and the sexual escapades that I partook in. I cried when I told her how I succumbed to the lust and allowed him to touch me. I told her how I can’t stop drinking his blood and how I’ve started to become obsessed with Asmodeus.

Afterwards, she patted my back and told me, “you’re addicted to his blood. Levi told me that their blood has addiction properties and that’s why I couldn’t drink from him. You didn’t know?” She asked.

Hell no I didn’t know! Everything is starting to make sense.

“No. In fact he encouraged that I drink from him. Sophie, this is all starting to make sense! I just need to stop drinking his blood!” I exclaimed, relieved to have found the beginning of a solution.

“Have you figured out a way out of here?” I questioned her.

“No girl, I’ve been shopping with Levi a few times but he always stayed with me. We only ever left by him snapping his fingers, I haven’t seen any exits.”

Shit. I rubbed my belly and tried to stay strong.

“Something’s gotta give!” I cried out, frustrated.

*knock, knock, knock*

“Yes?” Sophie answered out.

“May I enter?” I hear Levi ask.

Sophie winked at me, “yes you may.”

Levi opened the door and approached me. “It’s so good to see you, Rose.” He grabbed my hand and kissed the back of it. “I’ve missed your beautiful face.” He winked and then cupped my cheeks before laying a kiss on each of them.

“Quit flirting and get back here!” I hear Asmodeus call out to Levi.

“I must go ladies.” He bowed and left the room.

Sophie giggled at his antics.

I just smiled, glad to see my friend happy.

“Don’t blame yourself for what happened.” Sophie continued, “he manipulated you, Rose. Of course you have control of your own actions but what is the price you would’ve paid if you didn’t go along with what he wanted? I understand you were worried about your babies and mates and that’s why you didn’t deny him. Things will get better soon, I truly believe that. Now let’s go see what these men are trying to hide from us.”

“Asmodeus told me that his brother Lucifer was arriving today, that’s why we left. I think we should get a feel for Lucifer and see if maybe we can talk him into letting us free or if he’s on Asmodeus’s side.” I told her.

“Alright detective, let’s see what they’re talking about.” She said as she strode towards the door.
