thought, it’s time for a change. Shadowy halls and gloomy corners were so sixteen hundreds.”
“I actually really do like it, although I am wondering how hard it was to get a pole that long.” Gaia tilted her head back to see the newest craze stretched high above to a ceiling at least a hundred feet overhead. She also noted more dancers higher up on it, as well as a few men doing trapeze. Naked.
Oh my.
I wonder if Lucifer would want to try that.
The old Luc would have taken it as a challenge— Watch me defy the laws of gravity, wench. The new Lucifer would probably faint.
Sigh.
“Why the sad sound?”
“You must have heard about the missing heart at the end of Dante’s Inferno.”
“Yes. A most unexpected turn of events. But not the end of the world. That isn’t coming for another fifty or so years, depending on the paths some mortals take.”
Gaia blinked. The sorceress had a habit of throwing out tidbits like that. Most of her predictions never came to pass, as the future held many forks, and many pivotal events rested on the tiny decision of one.
However, who cared about the possible annihilation of mankind? Gaia had more important things to worry about. “I don’t know what to do about Lucifer.”
A moue of distaste curled Neffie’s lips. “Yes, the Dark Lord is a bit irritating with his do-good mannerisms. Can you believe he asked me to disband my harem and stick to just one man at a time?” Nefertiti shuddered. “Perish the thought. That would be like asking us to only eat one chip. Or a single bite of a decadent sundae.”
Personally, Gaia had her hands full—quite literally when erect—with one man. But Nefertiti’s magic relied on sex, lots of it, hence her view on the matter tended to skew in another direction.
“I don’t know if I can marry him, Neffie. I mean, the wedding is less than two days away, and whenever I think of tying myself to the imposter wearing his body, I want to burrow deep into the earth and hide.”
“Then don’t marry him.”
But that would mean breaking his heart, a heart he currently had, even if it wasn’t his own.
“Is there any way we could get the old Lucifer back without finding his heart? I see occasional glimpses of him. It’s like he’s still in there but stuck.”
“His wicked persona overshadowed by his do-good organ?” Neffie appeared thoughtful. “Possible. And, if true, then perhaps, over time, the darkness that belongs to the Lord of Sin will submerge the pure heart and take over again.”
Perhaps over time? As Mother Nature, she might have the patience to plant a seedling and watch it grow to maturity, even if that took decades. But when it came to Luc… She shook her head. “I don’t have time to wait. Hell is falling apart. Demons are running rampant. The number of escapees to the mortal realm has multiplied. Muriel is doing her best to retain control, but she doesn’t have the hard, commanding edge of her father.”
“I noticed things were even more chaotic than usual. And while a little chaos is acceptable, too much means more work for me, which means more sex, which means fun, but a pussy can only handle so much before it needs a rest. Chafing is real, my friend, and let me add, it is not fun. For either party.”
“Neffie!” Gaia exclaimed. “Way too much info.”
“I know, which is what makes it so fun.” The sorceress smirked. “But back to your dilemma. How to draw the Dark Lord out if he is, indeed, still in there? How about tossing him in a pit with a few monsters? Maybe slay a few beasts. Shed a lot of blood. You know. Something to get that adrenaline going.”
Gaia shook her head as she recalled his squealing on the roller coaster ride. “Tried that. It didn’t really work.”
“How about shagging him good?”
“I wish he’d let me. The man is determined to wait until we’re wed.”
“So seduce him.”
“I’ve tried,” Gaia grumbled. “He practically runs away each time. It’s a little
