something he’d enjoy hearing.
“Call off your bitch, Gerard!” the tall male spat out, his body shaking with barely restrained rage.
"Can you rephrase the question so that I can figure out what has your panties up your tight ass?"

Gerard’s question and blasé attitude did little to help calm Sebastian’s fury, if anything, it made him angrier. “That bitch has been to Inferno every night for two weeks. She’s killed two humans. Put a stop to it immediately, or I will.”
“What bitch are you referring to incubus? You are speaking Greek to me right now. I don’t have any fucking idea who or what the hell you are talking about.”
“Gia, who doesn’t hide the fact that she’s there to spy for you,” Sebastian told him, eyes narrowed. Gerard looked over at one of his guards, genuine disbelief in his expression.
Something was off. Sebastian’s ire decreased. Only a bit.
“Call a couple of guards in here right now.” Gerard’s red-rimmed eyes met his and Sebastian felt something stir, the Master attempted to read his mind, but then stopped. He was not as strong as he’d once been. Knowledge he might use to his advantage one day.
“Why is Gia coming to my club?” he asked Gerard, who watched him closely.
“I did not send her,” Gerard snapped, and then addressed the new guards that entered. “Find Gia. Bring her here immediately.”
The guards’ eyes locked on Sebastian. By their interest it was obvious they thought he’d come to perform a service for Gerard—came to provide entertainment, of course. Why else would an incubus be there willingly? The Master demon’s appetite for depravity was well known. Sebastian gave them a droll look in return.
“Please sit down Sebastian, your pacing is annoying the shit out of me,” Gerard muttered and then looked down at some papers on his desk, seeming to dismiss his presence, but when Sebastian sat, the red eyes flickered to him. “Tell me, have any other high-levels been to your establishment lately?”
Sebastian wouldn’t divulge that information. Who came and went in and out of Inferno didn’t concern him unless they caused problems. Several of Gerard’s high-levels had secret relationships with humans, and he wasn’t about to rat them out. To each his own. “I don’t keep tabs on demons for you or anyone. I don’t care who comes in unless they cost me money or have the police crawling all over my ass.”
The Succubus, Gia, was dragged in. The luscious blonde hissed, and raked her long sharply filed fingernails down the side of a guard’s face, leaving a trail of blue blood. The demon snarled at her, but she dodged his bite with another slash of nails at his neck. The other demon pulled her arms behind her back and pushed her forward.
“Let go of me you imbeciles,” Gia shrieked. By her disheveled appearance, mussed hair, barely there nightgown and lack of makeup, Sebastian gathered they’d drug her from bed. Her voluptuous curves, long well-toned legs and full breasts a stunning, but deadly sight.
Then she spotted him, and launched herself at Sebastian. Fangs dropped and claws extended, Gia slashed at him. "I am not fucking him."
Sebastian easily dodged her attack by jumping to his feet and shifting aside. He watched with eyebrows lifted when she tumbled over the back of the chair he’d vacated. Gia flipped over with the chair landing under it, her naked butt pointing straight at everyone. She kicked a couple of times before she could get up, and glared at one of the guards who coughed to cover his laughter.
“What the fuck is going on Gerard?” She glared at the Master demon, obviously one of the few that were not terrified of him. “It’s the middle of the damn day, why am I being dragged in here?” She glared at Sebastian, “Please tell me you’re not doing this because you want me to do this man-slut. I'm not attracted to him." Her heated eyes roved over him belying her words.
