I smile at his words. “I’m not a demon, asshole. I’m the devils’ queen.”
He groans. “I should’ve known that you love to torture people.”
My smile beams brighter. “You’re just realizing it? And so you know, I don’t like torturing only people. I like to torture those who have done wrong and need punishment. But that’s not it. I want to teach them to be better. I want to lead everyone, including you, on a path of change.”

“Bow down at my feet and beg me for forgiveness,” Lucian says, crossing his arms over his chest the second I stroll into the room with Cassius behind me. His naked body ripples with his muscles, and he transforms into his devil form. If Cassius were to kneel in front of him, Lucian could totally smack him in the face with his cock. And I have a real good feeling that he might try. A part of me really wants to see it. Another part of me...still wants to see it. I bet the sound of dick flesh hitting cheek bone would be like music to my sadistic, naughty ears.
Micah chuckles, hearing my thoughts. I can’t stop the grin from crossing my face as our eyes meet. We both laugh, drawing everyone’s attention to us. Crossing the room, Micah envelops me in his arms and hugs me close.
“What a sight that would be, heathen.” Micah kisses my forehead. Straightening his back, he looks at Lucian and Cassius. “You should thank Hell that Lucian can’t hear Raven’s thoughts.”
“Oh, now you better fucking tell me. I like how whatever crosses her mind makes her practically shoot beams of light and happiness from her soul.” Lucian places his hands on his hips and narrows his eyes at me. “Please tell me that it has something to do with torturing this asshole.”
“I’m nearly certain this is torturous enough as it is,” Cassius says, his handsome face sharpening with his scowl. I know it bugs the hell out of him that I’m making him do this, but this is his lesson. Like when Lucian got a taste of his own fire chain, Cassius will get a taste of what it’s like to need help and have to beg for it. He’s lucky that I already plan to see what we can do. If our roles were reversed, he’d probably deny me. He has denied me before. Every damn angel seems to have until they decide to turn their backs on Heaven.
“Far from it, Cass-hole.” Micah grumbles under his breath with his words. “Be thankful that we are even humoring this. You belong in the pits.”
“We could make him beg from there.” Kase scratches his fingers over his cheeks. “What do you say angel-girl? Should we make him suffer?”
Dante bumps him with his shoulder.” You know our soul has a thing for little rejects like this guy. But you know what would be better?” Wagging his eyebrows, Dante flicks his attention to me and then to Cassius.
Micah tips his head back and laughs, managing to hear whatever crosses Dante’s mind. I’m a bit jealous that when the devils are open, he can listen into everyone’s thoughts. I wish I had that ability. Or maybe not. I’m not so sure I want to know what’s on Cassius’s mind right now. Or Lucian’s for that matter, with the way his cock hardens.
“Strip naked,” Andre says, speaking up as if he can read Dante’s mind too.
Heat flushes over my face. The devils aren’t trying to humiliate Cassius. They’re trying to give me a show, probably as a thank you for bringing him here and making him beg.
“What? You can’t be serious. There is no benefit of me baring my body while begging for mercy.” Cassius ruffles his feathers. He’s nervous. I’m nearly certain of it. But I don’t think it’s because of the devils. I think he’s nervous because of me.
“You guys, that’s not necessary. I have plenty of eye candy right now as it is.” I twirl my fingers at all of them. Because it’s true. Lucian’s not the only one naked. It’s as if they just decided to go with the flow of things and this is our eternity now. I think Micah would be the only one to ever summon me clothing without me having to ask.
Cassius blows out of breath. “Thank you.”
Lucian jerks his hand out, grabs the front of Cassius’s shirt, and rips it off using his power. Heat flushes over my face at how fucking gorgeous Cassius is, showing off his muscular body.
“Just because Raven doesn’t think it’s necessary doesn’t mean that we agree.” This comes from Zade, who has been standing in silence beside Andre. “I think it’s time for you to bare all to her and to us as you ask us for forgiveness, for mercy, and for help. Consider this being us letting you off easy.”
Damn. I didn’t think Zade had it in him. He’s usually just going with the flow and allows the others to take control. I don’t know if it’s because he doesn’t want to or if it’s because he is completely incapable of taking charge. He is the devil of sloth, after all.
“Fucking out.” Cassius clenches his fingers into fists, his whole body twitching with his annoyance.
I shake my head and hide my smile. This whole situation is far more amusing than I had imagined it to be. I had intended it to be pure torture for the bastard angel, but it’s turned into one hilarious moment for me.
“Cassius,” I say, breaking away from Micah to stroll the space to him. “You don’t have to do that. It wasn’t in our deal. But, they’re not going to give it up. So it’s up to you to decide how much time you want to spend here arguing about this. I know how angels think, and I know that nudity isn’t a big deal. Unless you are completely different and happened to have adapted to mortal social norms.”
“He’s afraid to show us his tiny dick,” Dante says, pinching his index finger and thumb together, creating an inch of space. It’s far from true from what I have felt of Cassius, but it still bothers him. I can tell by the flash of heavenly light in his eyes. “I know it’s embarrassing when you have all this glorious, gigantic devil cock around here. Even Zade is hung like a damn horse.”
I cover my mouth, hiding my smile. “I’m going to leave the decision up to you. While I’m here in Hell, I have a very long time to wait. But if I start getting bored, I will turn to my devils for entertainment.”
“I bet he’ll just want to watch some more.” Kase whips his tail out and manages to lash Cassius on his ass. “Isn’t that right, you perv. You’re just like every other damn angel. You love watching us defile this pretty soul in every way she desires, don’t you?”
Cassius heaves a breath, unbuttons his pants, and kicks out of them, showing off the fact that he goes commando. It’s rather surprising. “Fuck, everyone just shut the hell up. If this is what you want, then you get it. Are you happy now? Does this make you guys feel like the big bad devils you all think you are?”
Uh-oh. Lucian swings his arm and punches Cassius in the face, sending him flailing backwards. He struck a nerve in all of my devils, and I’m not so sure that there will be anything I can do to stop them from dragging him to the pits to throw him under with all of the damned souls.
“Stay down and apologize. You think you are some powerful almighty being like the Higher Power, but you’re not. You’re not even close. What do you do in this eternity besides watch as humanity destroys itself? What are you doing besides trying to keep us from doing our job at getting souls where they belong?” Lucian shifts into his devil form and towers over Cassius, his horns jetting from his head and his hands glowing with the fires of his Hell power. “You do nothing. You stand by and watch your army fall. You do nothing except whine and complain about me. The one you should be complaining about is yourself. Because you do not stand up to your full potential, and that is why you are here, ready to bow at our feet and beg for help.”
