The Devil Does Marriage Counseling (and Ends Up With the Couple)

"You should go," Chloe said as she broke away from the kiss, despite every instinct in her screaming to make Dan stay.

"Yeah I should," Dan breathed," but I don't want to".

"You don't?".

"No, Chlo," he grabbed her hands again, " I want my wife back. I was stupid and selfish, and I want to spend the rest of our lives fixing that".

"I want you back, too," Chloe replied uncertainly," but....I've been seeing someone else lately, and I don't think I want to just give them up".

"I've been seeing someone else, as well, and I'm not sure I want to give them up, either".

"So, what do we do?" She asked him.

"I think we need to set up a meeting with our current partners, and discuss everything as a group. Then we'll be able to decide for sure if we're going to stay with them, or get back together".

Chloe's eyes lit up with excitement. " Dan that's a great idea! I'll text mine and you text yours, then we'll set up a meeting for this weekend to talk".

"Sounds good Chlo," Dan said pulling out his phone,"I'll see all of you this weekend".

"See you".

As Dan and Chloe went to message their partners, they failed to realize that they were actually contacting the same person.

Lucifer was relaxing in his penthouse, when his cell went off. When he saw the texts, he immediately slammed back his drink,and poured another one.

He'd been seeing both Chloe and Daniel separately. At first, it was simply an arrangement to take advantage of the delicious amount of sex that separated couples provided.

He hadn't expected to fall in love with them.

Now, they were wanting to have a meeting with their 'partners'. He could not imagine it was going to go well when they found out they were both seeing him.

If he got lucky, one might stay but he'd lose the other. It was more likely they would be pissed and everyone would break apart.

Even if, by some miracle, he could find a way to keep both Daniel and Chloe, there was still the problem of them finding out he was the actual Devil. That could cause them to run so far away, he'd never find them.

He had to find a way to fix this, but he needed help. It was time to text to his closest friend and confidant.
