Aight so this is the sexual one, and the last section. This marks the first time I've done a series of chapters in a one-shot book, and while it is, by definition, thus rendered not a one-shot, I've seen it done elswhere and hell if I was gonna try to publish an entire book again.
Sooooo yeah. Let's do it.

You thought you'd be heading back into town, but you were wrong. Instead, you walked away from the village, toward the outskirts of the forest surrounding the hamlet. Birds chirped and the air smelled of flowers and saltwater.
"Where are you taking me?"
"To paradise." You pulled back, trying to get away. You noticed just then he'd brought a bag with him. He reached inside it and you flinched. "Here." He held up a red, appetizing fruit. "If we're going to the Garden of Eden, you might as well bring this."
"I won't accept your offer, Lucifer."
"It's Light." He took a bite himself. "For what it's worth, I think his attempts at being God were half-assed."
"Whose?"
"Satan's." He held out the apple for you again, and you turned your head away. It did look good, though. He shrugged and kept walking, though he was no longer grabbing you and forcing you along behind him. You knew it was a fruitless endeavor to turn and run. You were too far out to make a break for it. "He wanted to be like God, didn't he?"
"Yes, and he wasn't."
"Clearly." He scoffed. If insulting God Himself wasn't bad enough, he'd now turned on The Devil, mocking everything he'd done wrong, too. This time it wasn't blasphemous but it was still indicative of parallel hubris. Light wasn't much humbler than the evil snake in the grass he was talking about. "It's because all he did when he had power over the only two people in existence was offer them food." He snorted. "If it were me, I'd have just threatened them, or killed them."
"That'd be missing the point, dumbass." You stopped short. "The whole concept of original sin is based on consent. He had to trick them, tempt them. They were immortal before that. He did kill them by doing what he did. Now we'll all die one day because of that."
"Oh." He stopped too, laughing. "Well, still, he could've done it better." You groaned.
"So when you're not killing and taking names, or offending God and Satan at the same time then what do you plan to do for the rest of your life?"
"Well, I was going to start with you." He tossed what remained of the metaphor aside, and pulled you into his arms as you struggled to break free.
"NO! I DON'T WANT TO!" He stroked your head with his hands, not unlike Chel had done. It did seem kind.
"What would it take for me to prove to you that I can change?"
"What?" You spoke into his chest.
"Tell me to do anything, anything at all, within reason, that is, and I'll do it." He held you tighter.
"It'll take more than just one day, Light." He exhaled.
"Okay, then. As long as it takes. I'll do whatever you ask, for as long as you need, until you believe me."
You didn't think it was a good idea, but you felt it'd be hypocritical to turn him down and stalk away then. Letting you go seemed similarly useless, as you'd just run into him again later. A part of you didn't want him to leave, so sending him back or commanding him to go somewhere else also wasn't what you wanted. You didn't want him to hurt you or anyone else anymore, and this was the one way you could see if he was really able to do the right thing after all.
