Mr. Devil (18+)

07

The next morning, I awoke in Lucas's bed. I stared at the ceiling, contemplating how fucked my life really is. I mean, for one, I am in LUCIFER'S bed. Satan. The Devil.

I groaned loudly into a pillow. "What did I get myself into, John?" Times like this make me wish I had my brother here with me. I had no idea what was going on or what I have gotten myself into. I just don't understand why I felt this need to please Lucas. What the fuck is going on?

I decided it was time to get up and make some breakfast for Cerberus and I. As I walked into the kitchen, I noticed Cerb still sleeping on the couch. I grabbed some eggs out of the fridge and started scrambling them. After adding cheese and making sausage and grits, breakfast was served.

"Cerberus?" I called. I looked up to see he was no longer on the couch. I felt hot breath on my neck again and I turned, bumping into a naked man's chest. "Oh, shit!" I grabbed a knife from the counter and pointed it at him. "Who the fuck are you?!"

"Whoa, whoa. Relax." He held his hands up in surrender. "You called?"

"Cerberus?"

"Stop calling me by my full name. Your my master's girl so you might as well call me Cerb too. Just don't let anyone else do it."

"Can you please go put some pants on? And I'm not his girl."

He looked down, noticing his was stark naked. "Oh, yeah. Forgot."

He walked into Lucas's room and came back with sweatpants. I took a moment to observe him as he made a plate. He had long curly black hair that swayed past his shoulders, which were very broad and muscular, by the way. His eyes were still black but looked human enough. He had full plump lips and a very plump ass. Tattoos were scattered across his skin. Frankly, I found him very sexy. Is that weird?

"So, you can transform to a human?"

"Yeah, a few years ago, Lucifer got tired of me talking to him in his head so he gave me the power to transform into a man so that he could have a natural conversation with me."

"Do you like being human?"

"I mean, it's easier. People understand me. They can actually hear what I say. Other than Lucifer, and now you, no one can hear me. I guess I'm meant to only speak to my master."

"Master? Why do you call him that?"

"Well, I guess, technically, he's my father but I feel like it'd be weirder to call him that."

I hummed in response. "So how old are you?"

He chuckled. "Honestly? I've lost count."

"Damn, that old huh?"

He rolled his eyes at my comment and we slipped into silence. I could feel his eyes on me, observing me. I lifted my eyes to his.

"What?"

"What is it about you?"

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"What made him pick you?"

"I guess he was just looking for an easy earth lay."

"No, something had to draw him to you. It drew me in too, but in a different way. In a 'I want to serve you' way."

I shrugged, not knowing how to reply to that.

"There's something angelic about you."

"Angelic? Ha!"

"Maybe I'm wrong. I don't know. I guess we'll find out soon enough."

A knock sounded at the door. Cerberus hopped off the stool next to me and changed back to his four-legged form. He nodded his head toward the door, telling me to answer it.

I walked to the door and grabbed the handle. I looked back at Cerberus and he nodded his head.

I opened the door to see the woman from yesterday. Her long blonde hair framed her face and her round brown eyes looked shocked to see me again.

"Oh, hi. I'm looking for Lucas," she stared at me with fear in her eyes.

"He's not here right now, is there something I can do for you?"

"Can I come in? I don't feel comfortable talking about it out here."

"Okay," I opened the door wider for her. As soon as she stepped foot in the door, Cerb's nose lifted into the air and he began growling. It was very low and terrifying. My eyes snapped to him and he shook his head. He started cornering her.

"Good doggy," she said, panicking.

Cerb, what's wrong? I spoke in my head to him.

Demon girl. He replied.

"Demon?" I said aloud.

"Damnit Cerberus, did you have to sniff me out that quick?" She scoffed before her appearance began to change. Her hair turned vibrant red and tiny horns protruded through. Her nails grew long and sharp while her teeth also sharpened to tiny little spears. Her once round eyes also began to shift. They narrowed and turned solid black.

As she transformed, so did Cerb. He was no longer the normal size dog. His intimidating form took back over. I felt the heat from the flames licking my skin as he stepped up next to me.

"What? I just wanted to check out Luc's new little play thing? You know, the one he left me for? I mean, he's had humans before but no one was enough for him to leave me for."

Her eyes turned to me. "I also noticed that she was affecting him. How is that?"

She took a step toward me and Cerberus snapped at her. She flinched and chuckled.

"Damn, she's got you under her control now too? Interesting."

"You should leave," I warned as I felt my body heat up again.

"You hurt me yesterday, but I assure you that wont happen again."

"Try me." My voice had changed again. I looked over at Cerb who had his eyes narrowed on her. Yesterday, I felt bad for hurting someone I didn't know. Now, she's threatening me. And I don't like to be threatened.

The demon in front of me backed away again, hands raised in a submissive manner. "Okay, I see. She is pretty powerful, isn't she? That's okay. I'll get her when you all least expect it." She started transforming back but my heat continued to burn. I lashed out again and she fell to her knees. It was like deja vu.

"If you ever speak to me like that again," I gritted out between my teeth. "I will make sure you suffer worse torture than you could ever imagine." I grabbed her by her hair and began dragging her out of the loft. "Go back to Hell, bitch." I slammed the door in her face.

I heard Cerberus laughing behind me. I turned to see him back in human form.

"Yeah, you're right. You're definitely no angel."
