I considered that, and she was kind of right, but I also needed to set limits.

  “On the proviso that I am around to do so, and with a limit of four more interventions.”

  She tilted her head and looked me up and down, like I was a side of beef, then she licked her pouty lips seductively.

  “Make it five, and I’ll throw in a blowjob like you’ve never felt before.”

  She was so fucking sexy, and I hadn’t failed to notice that she was completely naked under the sheet during our discussion, a sheet which wasn’t covering her most salient assets at all. I thought about it with great deliberation, for almost an entire half a second.

  Then I stuck out my hand, “Deal!”

  She smiled and reached out and took my hand, and the infernal magic spun around us. This time was different, it dove inside Cynthia and ripped out a part of her soul. I’d have thought something like that would be painful, and maybe for others it is, but my patron was a succubus, and Cynthia cried out in ecstasy as her body trembled and shook before me.

  As for me, the pleasure was enormous, not sexual, more like a high, pure pleasure. My body absorbed part of the small piece of soul, and the rest was channeled through to Malina through our link. I could barely move and my legs gave way, and I fell to my knees. As for the power I gained, there wasn’t all that much special about it. I’d be able to power my spells without Malina for a little longer, but that was about it. Still, I could feel the extra life in me, five, maybe ten years.

  She looked up at me in ecstasy, “Holy shit, I haven’t cum that hard in a long time.”

  I smiled, “Just a minute Cynthia,” and stood up, and leaned over the bed.

  I cast the spell over the executive producer, it was similar to a memory spell, but instead of making him forget, I fixed the idea that Cynthia must become the next anchor, and stay there for the remainder of his employment.

  “It’s done.”

  Cynthia smiled up at me coquettishly, “Why don’t you lie down, this might take a while…”

  I moaned as she started, and quickly learned she was right. She was an artist, and didn’t go for the quick kill. She teased my cock with her mouth, and plied my body with pleasure. Every time I got close to exploding between her soft sweet lips, she’d back off to lick my balls, or talk dirty to me. Finally, after a half an hour, I actually begged her to let me cum. She was that damned good.

  It was then that she told me in a steamy voice that could melt ice, and harden a dead man, “If you want to cum so bad, you should take charge, grab my hair like the little whore I am, and fuck my slutty face.”

  So I did, and she got off on it herself as I cruelly used her mouth, and then I sprayed the back of her throat as she came from my rough treatment.

  She was right, I’d had great blow jobs before, but nothing like that. She’d teased me to my breaking point, and then had highly enjoyed the results when I lost control. I wasn’t sure how to take that exactly, normally I respected a woman and wanted her to get off and have as much pleasure as me, I’d never met one that got off on being used like that before.

  Still, she wanted it that way, so I suppose I’d just given her what she wanted.

  It was an experience I wouldn’t soon forget, and a hell of a first soul pact. I’d be lying my ass off if I said it wasn’t worth the extra intervention, she’d earned it and then some. I wished her well, and actually meant it, then I left the house and rejoined the ladies waiting for me in the car.

  Chapter 25

  Malina asked knowingly, “So what took so long?”

  I snorted, “She insisted.”

  Malina said, “You did good for the first time, and I’m not talking about the sex. Follow up interventions aren’t uncommon. I’m glad you left that proviso though, if you die you won’t be violating that pact.”

  I snorted, “Nope, just yours.”

  She nodded, “Don’t worry, we’ll do our best to keep you kicking until you get a few kids, and even after of course.”

  Lilliana asked a bit too happily, “Ready for another workout?”

  I nodded, “This time I’ll kick your ass.”

  Lilliana snorted, “You will?”

  I winked, I seemed to be doing that a lot lately, and said, “Sure Lia, but don’t worry, I’ll kiss it better after.”

  Lilliana giggled, “Your bad at being a master. Kissing your servant’s ass? It’s just not done.”

  I suppressed a smile, “Sounds like a good time to me.”

  Malina pouted, “What about my ass?”

  I grabbed her and flipped her over my legs, and bent down while lifting her a little, and bit down on her luscious ass through her skirt, and then I spanked her for good measure.

  “Tease,” she accused in a playful voice.

  I said neutrally, “We’ll see.”

  Truthfully, I was a breast man, but I was enjoying the banter. Still, I was up for trying anything once. It was a long drive back so I spanked her again, and then slid a hand up her skirt. Demoness, so of course there were no panties in the way either.

  “Stop that,” Malina said in an unconvincing tone, “You have to maintain your spells outside the house.”

  I grinned, not bothering to mention I managed that through an orgasm earlier. The partitioning spell was very easy to hold and not lose concentration, it was hardly an effort.

  “Who said anything about me? This is all about you. Now shut up and enjoy it.”

  She did, and she did.

  I spent the rest of the drive chatting to Lilliana about various things, including training, as I set off Malina into the throes of ecstatic pleasure about five times with just my fingertips, and a few judicious spanks with my other hand.

  The strangest thing about it was that it was comfortable, and didn’t feel at all out of place that I held a conversation with my vampire servant while pleasuring my succubus. Don’t get me wrong, I was hard as a rock the whole time, but it was worth it just to feel her tremble under my touch with her cute ass in the air, while splayed and squirming over my knees.

  When we got back, I received a soft, sensuous, and lingering kiss from Malina, as well as a satisfied sigh into my mouth for my trouble. It was almost loving, but I hesitated labeling it as that simply because… succubus.

  When we got inside, I checked on Karen through the wards, and she was still sleeping.

  Lilliana and I went straight to the workout room and dojo, and grabbed a couple of practice swords to work out. Truthfully, I didn’t expect to truly kick her ass, though I didn’t think I’d lose my shield again as I had in the past. However, the second promise I fully intended to keep just as soon as we were done… I briefly wondered if between Malina, Lilliana, Karen, and what just happened with Cynthia, if I was becoming addicted to sex. I decided if I was… so what? If anything, the women in my life were just as insatiable, and in the case of Malina, probably even more so.

  Chapter 26

  Karen slowly woke to the soft touch of hands rubbing her shoulders and back. She’d passed out after the most amazing marathon sex she’d ever had in her life, and had slept like a baby. The hands on her back were too soft and small to be Shawn’s, but it felt so good she didn’t complain, she didn’t even open her eyes.

  “That feels so good.”

  Malina’s voice made her smile apparent even though she couldn’t see it.

  “Glad you think so. You know, he will love you if you let him.”

  She sighed, she’d really like to believe that.

  Malina moved her hands lower on her back, and she made noises of approval.

  “Do you think I can’t give advice on love because I’m a demon? A succubus? What do you think made me what I am? If you can look past jealousy, and join our little family, he will love you.”

  She asked a little confused, “How you became what you are? What do you mean?”

  Malina went a little lower, but not quite on her ass, and then started to work her way back up her torso. She wasn’t sure if she was more relieved, or more disappointed by that fact. What was wrong with her? She reminded herself she didn’t like women that way… but it felt so damned good.

  Malina sighed, “How do you think I fell? I did not rebel, I disobeyed. Fell in love with a mortal I was protecting. I haven’t told anyone that in a long time.”

  She shook her head, “Why tell me?”

  Malina reached her shoulders again, and then started to caress her neck, and scalp.

  “Simple, I still have that capacity. I want Shawn to be happy, and the one thing that all of the Moore warlocks have hated, is not having a family they could call their own. It’s always eaten at them. It’s always failed in the past because of the mages, but with a mage… the plan’s both insane and brilliant, and will only work because of the current circumstances.”

  She asked, “So what do you want from me?”

  Malina shrugged, and she felt it in the succubus’s touch, “Don’t push away a good thing, no one can force love, but they can ignore it. Don’t ignore it. As for us, I won’t do more than flirt unless you ask me too. But sharing me, at least in body, might put you both on more equal ground.”

  It all sounded so good, but a succubus was the master… or rather, mistress of seduction. If she was all about love and hope, why all the threats, and the power from souls?

  Malina’s hands stopped, and she wondered if she’d gone too far, if only in her thoughts.

  Malina said in a firm voice, “There are rules beyond your mortal understanding. It’s much more complicated than you can understand. One small part of it, is simply to keep ahead of others. I have my little corner of hell, with all my souls in it, from pacts and from the Moore line. I wouldn’t be able to keep them safe, or keep them at all, if I didn’t keep up with the others and gain more power as they do.

  “That said, there are other considerations, and I am certainly not all love and hope, but that doesn’t mean those qualities are absent either. I’m a woman, and like you much more complex than one simple definition. Suffice it to say, I tell you all this for his sake, not yours.”

  She felt the succubus move, and she tensed up, but then she felt the soft press of lips on the top of her head, and then the succubus rolled off the bed and walked out.

  She trembled, and wasn’t sure what to make of that whole conversation, except she wanted to believe every word, she was just too afraid to. She also felt strangely guilty, as if the demoness had bared the pain in her soul to her, and she’d figuratively spat in Malina’s face for it.

  She jumped up out of bed, feeling remarkably good, and got into the shower. The hot water felt amazing against her body, she’d been using magic so much lately, but nothing could replace the muscle relaxing properties of a nice hot shower.

  She got out and dried off, and then put on the same clothes after cleaning them with a spell. She was starting to hate the yellow dress and white sandals, but it was all she had. She was also pretty sure mages were watching the house, if she left to get her stuff she’d no doubt be chased the whole way there and back.

  It wasn’t worth the risk. Nor could she simply go to the store either, she was stuck here. She went downstairs, grabbed a coffee from the kitchen, and tracked down Shawn in the dojo.

  She stopped in shock at what she was seeing. Lia was levitating in the middle of the room, with her pants pulled down just enough to bare her ass, and she was laughing and protesting as Shawn kissed it over and over. It was totally absurd, and strangely she didn’t feel jealous at all.

  She burst out laughing, and they both looked over at her in shock, and then they both blushed.

  “Hi, umm, could I borrow your computer, I need to order clothes before I burn this dress in frustration and get stuck having to walk around naked.”

  Lilliana asked as if she wasn’t hanging there helpless with her ass waving in the air, “Can’t we just go to your house and pick up your stuff?”

  She shook her head, “I think they’re waiting for me to leave the house here, and if not they’re most certainly staking out my house. I’m honestly surprised they haven’t knocked on the door and demanded my return yet.”

  Shawn shook his head, “Clarissa tried to get the council to do just that, but they all said it was her problem. I don’t think she’s brave enough on her own.”

  She wondered how he knew that, but didn’t ask.

  “How’s the training coming?”

  Lilliana answered, “Pretty well actually. He’s a quick study. As you can see he got the better of me.”

  She giggled, “So when we have things lined up we’ll be ready to go? I still have some phone calls to make, and we need to figure out the ward issue.”

  Shawn nodded, “You in a hurry or something?”

  She grinned, “Not really, but the longer we wait the more of a chance they’ll catch wind of it. Besides, I’m starting to rather fancy the rest of the deal.”

  She winked and went to walk out, and then turned her head, “The computer?”

  He nodded looking a little dazed, “Go ahead. But I have another idea.”

  She tilted her head, “What’s that?”

  He shrugged like it was no big deal, “I can make some calls, and have your car towed here, the trunk should still have a lot of your clothes and shoes right?”

  She wasn’t sure why, but her heart melted a bit at that. It was just clothes, but he really was surprisingly sweet under his intense energy, “That… would be great. Thanks. Umm, carry on…” she giggled and left the room.

  She tracked down the succubus in the basement den on a couch, walked over to her, and sat down.

  Malina asked, “What?” rather bluntly.

  She tried to apologize, “I’m sorry Malina, I grew up being taught these things. If you were a lesser demon, you would be truly evil. I’ve only heard rumors about greater demons, and most of them…” she trailed off.

  She added, “As far as what we talked about, all I can promise is I will try, I really do like him, although if it wasn’t for the pact I probably would put off marriage for a while, you understand?”

  Malina nodded.

  She whispered, “And he’s amazing in bed, I thought I might die from pleasure a couple of times last night.”

  Malina smirked, “That good huh?”

  She nodded, “And big. He hit spots deep inside me that I didn’t know existed.”

  Malina smiled.

  She asked curiously, “So what are you doing down here?”

  Malina raised an eyebrow, “The same thing you are, giving Lil and Shawn space to bond. This might shock you, but I think sharing is important.”

  She froze a second, she wasn’t sure if Malina meant her and Malina by that, or Shawn and Lilliana upstairs.”

  Malina grinned salaciously, “Yes.”

  Oh… both.

  On impulse she leaned over and kissed Malina on the cheek and then leaned against her. She was very comfortable.

  Malina put an arm around her and pulled her a bit closer, “One step at a time?”

  She nodded against the demoness, “Yes, that,” and then she asked, “Do you love him?”

  Malina kissed the top of her head and whispered, “As much as you do.”

  She knew what the sexy demoness meant by that. Not yet, but falling, and fast. He was so… magnetic, and hot. Both intense and thoughtful. They were silent for a while, just sharing the space and the moment, as she sipped her coffee and thought about what to change into when her luggage got to the house. She did have a cute set of red lingerie…

  Chapter 27

  That was interesting, Karen had only laughed when she walked in, and then completely ignored it, so I decided to ignore it too. When she’d left, I’d started on Lilliana right where I left off. I gave her similar treatment as I’d given Malina during car ride, except I also kissed the red spot every time I spanked her bare bottom. She really liked that too.

  I don’t know why, but I’d gotten so much pleasure over the last few days, that I just wanted to pleasure both of them for a change. It wasn’t as if I hadn’t gotten more than my fair share of blow jobs from both of them.

  Plus, it was a lot of fun making Lilliana squeal in ecstasy.

  She stayed with me after I finished torturously pleasuring her, while I worked on getting Karen’s stuff like I’d promised. After doing a few divination spells over the last few days, I kind of understood how they worked. It didn’t take me long to find out where her car was, which was impounded. That would make a little more difficult, a tow truck driver wouldn’t be able to get it out, only Karen.

  So I improvised, and went down the stairs and into the underground cave where I had the nice summoning circle. I’d have to do this soon enough anyway when we took out Clarissa, so I might as well get some practice in. I recalled a summoning spell for the lesser demons, and incanted it in my mind. The demon appeared in the circle with a flash of fire and shadows, and immediately challenged me for supremacy.

  After mastering Krystal, it wasn’t that hard. Oh, it took effort, and I sweated and had to focus and harden my mind, but I never doubted for a moment this lesser demon would do my bidding.

  He bowed under the strength of my mind and then fell to his knees. Now that my mind was free, I looked at him. His body was mostly human in appearance, although his skin was redder, but it wasn’t exactly red like in some Hollywood movie. His body was also a little out of proportion, his head was slightly too big, his eyes were too far apart, and his legs were short for his height with a longer torso. He wasn’t twisted, or ugly, just… different.

  I passed the spell to another partition, if I lost the spell he would automatically be banished back to hell, and then I gave him his orders.

  “I want you to go retrieve a car for me. Don’t kill anyone, don’t terrorize anyone. Simply bamboozle the attendant at the impound lot, make him believe you are Karen, that you paid the impound fee, and then drive the car back here. The only exception to my orders is that if you are attacked by mages, you can kick their asses, but try not to kill them if you don’t have to. If you run into a vampire or werewolf, under no circumstances will you engage them, do you understand?”
