We crumple onto one another, among the rubble and the scents of our frenzied sex.

“I have never,” Malphas says.

Barbas agrees. “Nor I.”

“Nor I,” says Typhon.

“I have,” Rhygel says.

“You have?” I ask, too spent to be shocked.

“But only in my dreams. And now you’ve made them all true. Every last one of them, my love.”

Epilogue

“Hey, Mom! How’s Argentina?” I ask from the new phone I had Claudia special order from one of her witchy vendors. She didn’t think it would work, but I had to remind her that I make the rules. It received calls from the earth plane here in the demon plane right out of the box.

“Argentina’s great! So many nice people and such good food! When are you planning to come for a visit?”

I glance around at my demons, each busy patching the new holes and missing walls in the dormitory.

“I’m free now, should I pop by?” I ask, setting my sights on the portal mirror which takes me and any demon I wish to accompany me anywhere I want to go in the world. I don’t usually take the boys with me unless Malphas is there to help with the illusion magic.

A seven foot tall blue demon might cause a ruckus with a certain crowd. I’m looking at you, Ruby Dixon fans.

Oh yeah, after finding my horde, I starteddevouringevery earth plane monster-themed novel out there. Turns out… there are a lot of ladies like me. Or, who wish they could be me.

“Oh, your father’s booked us a day excursion, but maybe you can stop by tonight for dinner?”

“Sounds perfect,” I say and mentally start planning what I’ll wear.

“How’s Michelle?”

“Oh, she’s fantastic. She followed my lead and quit the insurance company so she can focus on her Drxen.”

“Is that her newest demon boy toy?”

“Yes, Mom. Michelle’s still figuring out what she wants in a guy, so she’s trying them all on like clothes. But she’s happy for now and that’s what matters.”

“Happy for now. I suppose that’s all anyone can ever ask for, huh?”

I look at the demons around me, the muscled, sexy, gorgeously kind demons who worship my body whenever I ask for as long as I want.

“I don’t know, Mom. I think some of us are lucky enough to get a happily ever after.”

“Mmm. Well said, honey. I love you.”

“Love you too, Mom.”

How’s she doing?Barbas asks in the link we shouldn’t still have but do because I wanted it.

She’s great, thanks to you.

And you. Don’t forget.

Rhygel approaches and wraps me in his arms, spreading his wings around us. “In case I haven’t told you today, this place would be nothing without you.”

“And you,” I say, as we say to each other every day since I first walked through a mirror and decided to make rules not just that I liked, but laws for the good of all.
