I would kill that incubus one day.

Especially that incubus that had me tied up for three hours. I'll hang his insides and his dick up on his front door. I didn't understand what the Hell happened. I'm sure there was some sort of incubus emergency. 

Having that incubus come up and try to control me... it reminded me of Dom. He wasn't a good one. He almost killed me. Pain and pleasure. The worst and most exciting type of kink. I hated that I liked it.

Back then, if you weren't obedient they would kill you. I would've been killed by now if it wasn't for the scarce amount of succubi. 

One day, we would be able to live our own lives again, without the Incubatti Consul breathing down our necks.

The door clicked open and soft footsteps approached me. A low whistle grazed my ears. "Lux, you need some help, love?" A voice called.

I smiled, opening my eyes under the blindfold. I saw his blurry figure freeing me from these ties. "Thank you so much, Jamie."

Now that I was free, I took off the blindfold and stood up. I stretched my legs and stumbled to the door. My legs had fallen asleep. Jamie chuckled and helped my jelly-like legs past the door. "We'll have to make this quick, don't want lover boy comin' back."

"Who was the man that kept me locked there?" I snapped, limping towards the front door.

"Ah, love. I am so sorry, but I cannot tell you that. I'm strictly prohibited from doing so," Jamie carried me bridal style up the front door. He looked around before proceeding to where Tessa was still sitting in the car. She had fallen asleep, her cheek was pressed against the window.

"Why can't you?" I asked, pinching his nipple.

Jamie hissed and slanted his eyes toward mine. "Because I've been sworn into secrecy by the Incubatti Consul. All I can say is that he's come from Europe over here. He is dangerous and you should stay away from him. He's powerful, Lux. Everyone fears him, even Blair."

"Blair fears him?" My voice wavered. Blair was really powerful and someone who we would go to when we needed help. If Blair feared him he was an adversary that was concerning.

"An incubus came to my office today searching for me. He went by the name Jesse Drake. Could that be him by any chance?" I asked as I rounded to the trunk, taking out some clothes.

"Ah no. I don't know his name per se. He goes by an alias, Storm," Jamie said as I pulled a dress over me.

Tessa opened the passenger side door and stretched while yawning. "Hey, Lux. How'd it go?" She sauntered over to Jamie and bumped her hip with him.

"Perfect. I got tied to a bed and teased. Then my mystery incubus broke out," I snapped, walking around the driver's seat and slipping inside. I needed a drink. I was frustrated and I just needed a place to relax and chill.

Before I blew this mansion up.

"What do you mean an incubus was killed?" I asked again as I walked into Xavier's office. A few incubi were scattered around his office, discussing what had just happened.

Blair Elcen sat at Xavier's chair, looking confused. He stood up running a stressed hand through his hair. "Jonathan Bluton, twenty-three, killed by decapitation. Other things were... Cut off."

I raised a brow. Getting that close to an incubus with killing intent was impossible. We all knew if someone wished to harm us. It was that sixth sense we had. And we always kept our... assets safe. The fact that someone has this much courage and was getting away with it enraged me. "We have to find whoever it is."

Roman Fairtower approached me. He was one of the older incubi in our society. He was the calmer type, yet he was feared greatly. He came with me here from Europe. Roman was almost like a father figure to me since he raised me while I was young since my father was off doing other things. He and I always hated the way that the New York society held themselves. They treated the succubi like shit, but sometimes I understood it was necessary.

Like Luxinia for example. She is unruly and just a wildcard. She's under suspicion for killing Dom and of hiding her abilities, but now with these new findings, she may be disregarded. 

Although, I most certainly will not disregard Ms. Steele, because Dominick Petrove was killed and she fled the mansion the night he was killed with another incubus. I didn't care about trivial things like treason, but this is the cards I was dealt. I never cared about Dominick Petrove. He did me wrong many times and I wanted to return the favor.

Xavier walked into the office, a huge scowl on his scarred face. His first succubus was a mystery. According to the rumors, she threw acid in his face which is why he now had a deformed face. However, in a few hundred years or so his face would be fully healed. Incubi did have healing abilities, but it was slower than other demons and supernaturals. We aren't able to heal so quickly, not without sex energy, it wouldn't heal in five seconds like vampires or werewolves, it would take a day to heal.

Xavier paced the room, looking like he was deep in thought. "Blair, Jesse, Roman scope out the nearest bar, Occult. I want you to see if there are other succubi in the area. You are to question them immediately."

I nodded and turned to Blair and Roman. "Let's do this quick. I don't have all night."
