Yet there he was.
Standing in front of us.
It hadn’t been that long since I’d seen him myself. I mean, even shorter for him because of how time passed down there.
But for the guys like Ace who had been outed from Hell so long ago, sucked to Earth unwillingly through a Hellmouth, yeah, it had to be really fucking shocking to see the face of a man you never thought you would see again. Especially after Claiming a woman, and getting trapped on Earth with her.
“I was wondering where you’d gotten off to,” he said, looking at Ace. “And the rest of you,” he added, glancing around.
“We got sucked through Hellmouths,” Ace explained.
“I figured as much,” he agreed, nodding. “Bael,” he greeted me, giving me a familiar smirk. “I knew for sure your ass would never leave willingly. Your brother, on the other hand…” he said, glancing around again.
“He’s not here,” I explained. “He’s… missing at present.”
“Yes. There seems to be a lot of that going around. Is that a fire I smell?” he asked, shouldering in through the door, and moving into the library, warming his hands in front of the fire.
“You’ll get used to it,” Ace assured him. “It might take a few decades, but you’ll get used to the cold. Assuming you plan to stay.”
“Funny thing,” he said, nodding. “Hades himself showed up in my home, saying he wanted control again.”
“Was there a battle?” Drex asked.
“No.”
“No?” I asked, jerking back.
“I figured if someone else wanted to take on all that work, who was I to stand in his way. Besides, I hear human women are… quite satisfying. I can see that must be true,” he added, looking around at the women.
I shit you not, Ace, Drex, Minos, and my wings all shot out at the same time, reaching for our women. All of whom cuddled into the protection.
Save for Dale, who rolled her eyes at Minos as she pulled away, but she shot him a soft smile as she did it.
“Oh, a Demonslayer. In love with one of my men. How… interesting.”
“Do we call him Satan?” Charlotte whispered to me, her voice barely loud enough for me to hear.
But our boss, yeah, the man had acute hearing.
“Satan is fine. Devil. Beelzebub. Mephistopheles. Lucifer. Luce. The Morning Star,” he added with another of those smirks.
Devilish smirks.
This was where that term came from.
It was cocky and knowing and just a bit wicked, all in one.
Human women were going to be fucking tossing their panties at him.
“So, you’re… here,” Ace said. “For the long haul?”
“I figure, why bother being in hell while Hades is down there renovating shit to his tastes. Tartarus and the Elysian Fields. When I can be up here. Tasting the many fine flavors of human women. Not that way,” he said, when Charlotte’s eyes widened. “The much more… fun way,” he explained. “It would be nice to see where all my demons have been disappearing to as well.”
“All of them?” Ace asked. “Not just fifteen or twenty?” he clarified.
“No. More like a hundred or more. Why?” he asked.
Ace’s glance moved around to the rest of us.
