Monarch of Darkness, Arsene

"Eh" Panic crept up my spine, plunging into my heart before an intense heat scorched my cheeks. Lilith busted into laughter, giggling away. She pointed. "Look at your face! Look at your face! Sene is so cute!"

"Damn you, woman!" I said, grimacing at the little liar.

Lilith smoothed herself over the bed, patting an open area beside her. She smiled warmly. "I don't get to see you a lot. I got to shoot my shot when I can, although I'm not fully lying." She admitted. "You mad?"

A hint of a smile extended after the initial embarrassment, and I shook my head. "No. You got me." I told her, finding a seat beside her as her half-naked body curled around me. Her enthralling features tugging at the deepest part of my spirit. My skin grew hot as she pressed her soft alluring lips against my neck. Welcoming me home. "How are the little ones, by the way?"

"Getting more active by the day." She responded. "Want to feel."

My heart practically skipped a beat as I whipped to face her. I forced her onto the bed and pressed my ear against her stomach. Her pearly laughter, rich with warmth, sprang into the open. "And here I thought you'd only get that level of excitement when your fucking me." She said, running her finger through my ashen hair. We lay beside one another for a few hours as I enjoyed the sounds and movement of the twins while Lilith played with a few strands of hair.

"What brings you to me? Better yet. Are you ok?" she asked, her voice a little distant. "You were stolen before anyone of us could—"

"I'm fine." I comforted her, lifting my gaze to hers. "I only woke a few years ago. Mephisto and his games never end. Or, in this case, his pettiness."

That bastard really tossed my ass into the unknown to be found by peasants. What if they were perverts who wanted my booty?! Bastard.

"A few years?" She whispered, musing through narrowed eyes. "Tenebrae?"

I nodded. There wasn't a need to lie. Not about this. I may be a bastard, but I wouldn't lie about this. Not to Lilith, that is.

"You know…" She started. "End said something that had me thinking. It was about me only caring about stealing something from you. Just to get a rise out of you."

"End sounds like a smart man. Then again. I sleep with other women to annoy you. So I guess it's fair. Or whatever someone wants to call it." I replied, somehow not bothered by the madness of our relationship. Honestly, it's one of the things I look forward to in life.

What will Lilith do to me that will make me want to pull my hair out? There is just something enthralling about her wanting to test me. Of her wanting to kill someone I slept with. I loved that look of excitement. That burning passion that won't allow anything or anyone to take me away from her.

"I'm going to kill her." She promised me. "And I don't care if you love her. I swear I'm going to kill her even if I have to wait for multiple Hell Cycles to train, even if you hate me. Abandon me. I'll make sure we are alone for all eternity. I'm the only one you can have. Me. And only me. Zanris, Ezra, and Tenebrae are dead."

Enamored with the burning amethyst, I smiled with all my heart, taken in by her insanity. She wasn't kidding.

"What about Freya?"

Hesitation sprang over her face. " I did give Freya permission. And I like Freya. She's a maybe."

A single brow grew arched. " Your kidding, right? Oh, never mind. Arguing with a crazy woman like you can never be productive." I told her, chuckling, entranced by her soul gaze. I reached up, cupping her cheeks, as she leaned into my palm. "It's our dynamic. You do what you have to do. And I'll do the same. And when it's all over, and blood has been spilled. We fuck."

"I knew my Sene loved me!" She cheered, lunging onto me; we twisted over the covers, her lips pressing against my lips in a passionate frenzy that seared away Tene's heartwarming love. Passion, intensity, madness, and toxicity swelled.

I love this woman! This… never gets old. Even when I hate it, I love it. Fuck!

"You know. I hear sex might induce labor." Tightening my hands over her plump ass, I parted both cheeks. Unable to resist, nearly forgetting why I was here in the first place.

"I don't think that's true. But when did my Sene need an excuse to fuck me raw?" Lilith seductively whispered, saddled over my waist, a single palm pressed against my chest, while the other above pulled at her tank top.

'M'lady!" An unfamiliar voice from the outside called, halting our movement. "Several Archangels are preparing! A—"

"Not now!' Lilith sang, ready to peel away her clothing. But—

"I actually came because of that, Nessa, if I'm not mistaken," I said, holding her from removing any more clothing. Less, we ended up wasting more time. And dear god, we will.

Frustration crept over Lilith's flushed expression as she groaned. "You're here because of the Fallen, right? Damn. You can come in, Iliana."

Startled, the door to Lilith's chamber shot open to reveal yet another stunning lass. Hair white as snow, eyes of amber gold frothing with slaughter, with an indescribable scar near the tip of her brow reaching her ear. She stepped over the threshold, her fierce expression turning red when she settled her gaze on Lilith, saddling me like a cowgirl about to take a long ride.

"No~No~No~No~No~No~No~No!" She sang immediately, taking a step back outside. She turned. "I no see anything!

"Oh, just come in!" Lilith spat, but she didn't get down. Nor was my cock ready to deflate. "Arsene's here about the Fallen. Talk to him."

"My lady… I'm not comfortable with… indecencies. "

"Said the woman known for playing with herself when she slaughters."

Cheeks reddening, Iliana's shoulders dipped. " that happened… one… maybe twice… three times. But no more."

My jaw dropped. And Lilith bent down, her voice soft as a whisper, or devil. " You want to fuck her too? I could set it up, you know. The two of us, you tearing out her unbroken pussy, while I watch. I promise she'll do things you never thought possible."

Sweet, baby Jesus! I need to come to visit more often. The Abyss got all the baddies. But—

"Rain check." I told her, mounting a surprise,' This is family bonding time. Me, you, and the twins."

A faint blush kissed her cheeks, and she squealed. Lilith pressed her head against my chest, dry humping my waist. With a kissy face. "Sene loves Lilith!"

She is so weird.

"You better talk quick," I told Iliana, who nodded with a fiery red face.

"Yeah… several archangels want to—"

"The Fallen have worked out a deal with me. I buy from the Abyss, and in return, they buy from me with a steep tariff."

Nibbling on my neck, Lilith pulled away, her lips pursing. " Hmmm. That might be a problem, or maybe not. Devils and Fallen are immortal right?"

I nodded. But I wasn't sure about the Fallen. I do think when they die. They die for good.

"Nessa is being tarnished purely to be usable by the Abyss. Foods and other ingestible items will be akin to poison. You Ok with that?"

"I'm fine with it. As they say, the Strong will eat the weak." I told her when a thought suddenly came to mind. " Wait… why did you take Nessa? The Abyss is so rich with resources you don't need Nessa. It seems like a waste of time."

​ "Oh, that? I originally didn't want to, but Mephisto plans to blow up this realm so—"

'Wait, what!"
