Lust Meets Wrath

Putting Things in Motion

Bael had watched her the whole time, giving little nudges here and there. He knew he needed to meet her. To give this thing even more of a shove, something more personal. He grinned a little. 

"She doesn't work tomorrow, I'll invite her here." He nodded to himself and stepped out of his study. Pointing at one of the many raven demons that served him. "You... I have a job for you."

Lena woke at ten in morning to a knock on her door. "Just a fucking minute.. damn..." she huffed and brushed her hair before answering the door. She stared up at the raven demon with green eyes. "Yes?"

"My master Bael wishes to speak with you Miss Lena." The raven had a sort of deep screech to his voice. "Please get dressed and meet me outside ma'am." He bobbed his head.

She slammed the door. "Bael... one of the royal demons... wants to see me... fuck I have nothing better to do... might as well." She said went to change into her normal attire and brushed her hair again. Tail swaying she walked out, keys in her pocket. "Alright fine bird... let's go."

The Raven picked her up and flew off with her. She clung to his armor and shivered. "What no car?"

"This is the fastest way to travel, and I'm not about to drop you. Master Bael would kill me if I did." He chuckled and nodded. 

>>>>>>>

The Raven landed in front of a large black brick castle. "Ma'am... Welcome to Bael's Castle." He opened the door for her.

Lena stepped through the door and was led to the room on the left. Where Bael sat on a big red velvet chair in the middle of the room. "Miss Lena, pleasure to meet you in person. Have a seat my dear."

She blinked took a seat on the soft chair opposite him, legs crossed as she looked to him. "What's this all about? Why would a royal like you want to see an imp like me?"

"Darling child we both know yer not a purebred imp, you have succubus blood in your veins as well."

"Is that what this is about!? What ya gonna fuck me a..." her words stopped as he lifted a hand. 

"I'm asexual, your body does nothing for me dear. Now.. the reason I brought you here is because you interest me in another way. I dabble in genetics, hybridization and transferring certain powers in Familia bloodlines... your genes interest me. I've been watching you for a while... and not in a creepy way." He chuckled. 

"It sounds creepy.. What's so fascinating about my genes?" Lena asked and lifted a brow, arms crossed over her chest. 

"Being part succubus affords you abilities that imps don't have. Charming people and transforming into a human. Not something an imp can do my dear." He leaned forward. "You get lots of shit about yer height,  do you have ways to protect yourself?"

"I have a lady Derringer..."

"Not enough.." he snapped his fingers and a small black panther demon stepped over and handed him a case. He took it and passed it to her. "These are for you." He smiled.

Lena took the case and opened it, eyes glowing some. "These are..."

"Blessed weapons, yes. Part of my personal set, Darling. Gifts that would have gone to my children if I had chosen to have any. However, I have none. So I am giving them to you. Take good care of them and only use them when needed."

Her claws ran over the pistol, then the half size sawed off shotgun. "Wait yer serious? And all because you find me fascinating?"

"It's an investment of sorts to ensure your future."he chuckled likely and stood. "One more thing..." he handed her a black stone. 

"What's this?"

"This is hematite, if you focus on it... you vanish from sight. Your focus breaks, you become visible again. Not all hematite is like this, only if I give it to you." He chuckled and knelt down. "Lena, you realize that by me giving you all this, makes you of interest to me."

"What does that mean exactly?" She asked unsure.

"To put it in the simplest terms, I'm basically adopting you." He chuckled. 

"You start telling dad jokes and I'll smack ya." She snickered.

He laughed and ruffled her hair. "Now! How about breakfast and you tell me more about this thing that was so interesting on your phone yesterday." He stood.

"Oh... ya saw that?" She seemed nervous.

"I see a lot. Come lunch should be ready in the dining hall." He wandered off, Lena on his heels.

>>>>>>>>

He sat at the head of a long black table, green and gold inlaid patterns on it as well as the chairs. He offered her the seat beside him as a black sphynx cat demon severed them each a plate with a fancy golden cloche over them. He pulled the covers off and bowed out revealing the hot food to be crab legs and baked potatoes. 

Lena got wide eyed and Bael smiled at her. "Not used to eating such things I take it?"

"Not in the least!" She purred happily and used the offered shell crackers to open the legs and tug the meat out. 

"No need for manners when it comes to crab legs." He chuckled and broke one open sucking the meat out.

"Ewwww..." she chuckled.

"Pssh.. please. Now darling tell me about this thing that made you freeze in place on your way home." He leaned in, asking like a chick that wanted the hot gossip. 

"Oh well I was watching videos from Harvest Moon Festival.. and one of the winners of the games, he sang about his victory and.. his voice... it just..." she paused taking a bite of crab meat.

"Makes you a little squirmy does it." He pointed at her legs that she had crossed while speaking. 

She blushed some and looked down then nodded. "Yeah."

"Well what is this imp's name darling?"

"Striker, at least that's what I get from all the sources."

"Sounds like a dangerous cowboy, maybe even an outlaw's name." He teased and went back to his lunch. 

"Yeah but he's kinda hot, never seen anyone like him." She pulled her phone out and showed him. 

Bael inwardly grinned and outwardly smiled. "Well Darling, I can see why you like him, he is good looking." 

"I know, but he's so out of my league in terms of hot." She said and nibbled. "Mmmm..." her tail wagged.

"Pssh... who says? Far as I see it you have as good a shot as anyone." He chuckled and leaned back a little. "Confidence my dear, you need to be confident." 

"Okay DAD." She teased and leaned back once done eating.

"Ha! Okay kiddo. Something that might help ya...meet my contact tomorrow... at the local shopping area near you." 

"What?" She blinked.

"I already have people fixing your apartment up, tomorrow my contact will be taking you shopping." Bael stated simple as if well there was no choice which it seemed like there wasn't. 

"Oh.. okay..." she smiled. Tail coiling around herself. 

"Trust me okay. And you'll only get stuff you like, promise." He nodded and stood as the same cat cleared the table. He grabbed her hand. "When you get home, everything will be fixed. Everything will work properly. I want you to take this, and get yourself out tonight and enjoy a nice night at a bar or something. Mingle a bit, get comfortable."

When his hand pulled away there was a good amount of money in her hand that she pocketed. "Thank you.. and I will!"

"Reaver! Take Lena home please." He smiled to the raven from before. 

The raven picked up her and her case and they flew off. Reaver made sure she was safe inside before flying off. 

Lena stored the case under her bed and got ready to go out.
