“No, I mean curse, so my father won’t yell at me,” Moni says, smirking at me as she lifts a vine for me.

“So, wait. You mean that cum joke was your way of telling me Lucifer might be your father? When? Shit! Wow,” I sputter, flabbergasted.

“Oh yeah. We did a blood test, and we’ll find out after dinner if he’s our dad. He said it would explain how we all teleported into his vault,” she explains as I wrap her Demstone around her vine. Once it’s secure, I step back and look at her smiling face.

“Well, I can’t wait to find out if I have immunity to the big bad or not,” I say.

Moni tilts her head in question. “What do you mean?”

“Well, I doubt you would let your dear ol’ dad kill your bestie, right?” I smile at her, and she laughs.

“Of course not… Wreak all the havoc in the underworld; I won’t let him hurt a hair on your head,” she promises.

“I’ll hold you to it. Okay, shrink and see if it shrinks with you. I tried to add in that caveat,” I instruct. She zips down, making me smile when I see the stone resize appropriately. “Awesome. As long as Chester keeps his glasses with him, he should be protected, but um… I’m gonna let you get back to having your fun while I pass the rest of these out.”

CHAPTER 32

Roasted and Toasted

Rez

After hitting up Moni and Chester, I figure I might as well go down the hall and hand out everyone’s Demstones. I start in JP’s room, and I’m pleasantly surprised to see Zeke there. I made Zeke two thumb rings that have scythes on them. When he’s in battle, he’ll hopefully be able to activate them to elongate and it will help protect him along with the other rings Astaroth gave him. When JP tries to give me a heads up about Lucifer, I inform him that Moni already told me, but I can’t wait to find out the official word. Before I leave, I hand him his Demstones and tell him to get Zeke to help him put them on. He takes one look at the dick piercings and laughs.

Finding something for Knots was harder than I thought. The only thing that seemed to be a constant with him was his sword, so I made a jeweled pummel that would fit at the end of the hilt of his sword. When I show him, he pulls me in and gives me a fiery kiss that ignites my greedy pussy, but I have to remind myself I stink and still need to finish my work.

Next, I knock on Levi’s door and hear a muffled “Come in.” I walk in and find Levi standing in front of a desk and Ryker walking out of the bathroom in just lounge pants.

“Hey, temptress. Coming for a quickie?” Ryker makes a beeline toward me, pulls me into him, and gives me a searing kiss.

“Mmm. Tempting as you are, I’m here to give you guys a present.” I step back, smile up at him, and pull out some jewelry. The first thing I made for him was a new lip ring shaped like a bow. The Prince Albert ring has a crown engraved into it, and arrows for the Jacob’s Ladder. I show him each piece and explain what they are before I drop them into his palm.

“Does this mean you get to help me replace these?” Ryker winks.

“Um no. You can switch those out in the bathroom.” As I side step him, I pat him on the chest. “I promise to check them out later, though.” I blow him a kiss as I walk over to Levi.

“Hey,” I say as I gently run my hand up Levi’s back and peer around his shoulder. “What are you doing?”

“I’m about to find out who wrote this note that Knox found,” Levi explains as he puts down the mortar and pestle and grabs said note.

“Really? You’ve already made the potion?” A thrill races through me as he lays down the note and sprinkles what he just ground up over it.

“Yes.” Levi gives me a warm smile before he grabs a vial of yellow liquid. “If this spell works properly, we’ll see an image of the person that wrote this note.”

“Oh, can’t wait to get that answer,” Ryker chips in on the other side of Levi.

Levi pours the liquid over the paper and mumbles words in another language. I fixate on the paper as red and silver smoke billows up from it. Instead of showing the person’s face like I was imagining, a small scene plays out above the bowl.

A man stands up fast enough to send his chair flying into the wall behind him and reaches for a pen. He bends over and furiously jots down the words on the note. From his hunched form, I can’t make him out, but his size is enough to give me pause.

When he stands up to his full height, I finally get a look at the man that’s been keeping track of me. Dark shuffled hair hangs down over his forehead and into his dark blue eyes. They would be gorgeous if it wasn’t for the scowl and darkness I can see in them. His uniform shirt flexes and stretches over his wide chest and shoulders as he puts away the pen and picks up the paper.

“Who was that?” I ask when the scene fades and I’m left looking at the blank wall.

“Brooks,” Ryker answers. “Fucking Capt. Brooks.”

“Second in command to Chief Cloak,” Levi explains and turns to me with a worried expression.

“Well, that is until Knox steps up and takes his place,” Ryker says. “So, the question is… Why is Brooks keeping tabs on you?”
