Juggling a large pile of pricey gifts in my arms, I entered the apartment and glanced around for Val, but he was nowhere to be seen.Velvette, all done up, gave me a look as she strolled through to leave, Val's not here. I'm meeting someone for a date.Oh– Well, here, I said, handing her a shopping bag from a new designer place in the city. I bought you a gift, girly. Be safe while you're out.She reached inside the bag and pulled out an expensive black steel knife sheathed in fine onyx leather, its hilt was studded with a blanket of black diamonds and some rubies that formed a heart. Aww, thanks, Vox. Always looking out for me.
Blade is sharp, careful if you take it out– You know, I wish you'd take someone with you when you leave the tower.
Vel gave me a flat look, I'm going on a date, Vox, and I can take care of myself.
Yeah, so what? Take someone anyway. Better yet, cancel, stay home with us.
No, Vox, she laughed lightly. And don't wait up.
Take the knife. The sheath attaches to your belt.

Yes, sir.

You can't leave until I see you put it on. Anyone fucks with you, gut 'em.
Fuck's sake, Vox, Velvette complained but obediently did as I asked. Satisfied?
Yes.
Alright, bye then, she said and slipped past me, shutting the apartment door behind herself.Sighing, I tried to arrange Val's gifts on the coffee table artistically and sprinkled some black rose petals around everything. Mmm, okay. Walking over to the desk and accessing the cameras, I searched around and found Val still working in his studio. Sending him a text, I watched Val's reaction on-screen as he shot me a text in return. He immediately wrapped up his early evening shoot and briskly sauntered from his studio, making his way directly up to the apartment.Voxxy, Valentino greeted me in a thick accent, a wicked grin spread across his face.Gently taking his hand in mine, I led him into the open living room.Val's eyes brightened as he noticed the pile of bags and wrapped gifts on the coffee table, What's all this?I kissed at his wrist, A bit of happiness, baby.
Where's Velvette?

She had a date.
With who?! Val snapped, suddenly irritated.Like she'd tell me, I laughed. But I gave her a new knife before she left.Hmm, he hummed, his mood shifting and glancing over his gifts. What'd you get me, Papi?I grabbed one bag and gave it to him as we sat on the couch together.Reaching inside, Val pulled out a new limited release designer clutch. These aren't out yet, he said calmly, but his excited eyes betrayed his coolness.It was available for me, I grinned while he opened something else. I'll make us dinner while you take it easy. You worked all day, let's have a relaxing night.He looked at his phone, Did you buy me a new knife too? Vel posted a pic of hers. I like the bling.
You already have an arsenal–
Oh, he mumbled, dejected.
I'll take you tomorrow and you can pick out whatever jewel-encrusted weaponry you desire.
Val grinned as he found a new suit in the gift pile.Nice, right? I asked.
Very.

You'll look sharp at the meeting tomorrow morning.

What meeting?

What meeting? Are you joking? Lucifer requested a meeting. I put it on our calendar and sent you a text.
Val's expression turned into a lemon sucking-crinkled frown, I thought you were joking. Is that why you bought me this stuff? Bribing me to be a good boy?I arched a sharp eyebrow Val's way, Why would I joke about a meeting? And no, I don't need a reason to spend money on you.
I uhh– I mean, is this a good idea? he asked. A meeting with Lucifer?

I couldn't say no. His majesty has suddenly inserted himself into the local power dynamics of the city, it would behoove us to stay on his good side if we want to continue building on what we've started.

I don't need to be there, you can handle it.

I'd like you there, Val.
He gave me a flat look.Okay? Please? I questioned, running a gentle claw along his jawline.Fine, whatever, he breathed.

Sitting in an empty conference room, I'd been unable to find Valentino this morning despite searching my network. I need to install a fucking tracker in his ass. Fucking brat.Lucifer sauntered into the room and gave me an irritable look; his cane tapping, expensive dress shoes clacking, as he walked toward his chair. Voxxy, tea? Coffee? the king questioned, an attendant approaching him. Crystal tumbler of morning whiskey?Coffee, black– I mumbled, uncomfortable being in the king's grabbing range. A mug is fine, dear, I told the attendant.He nodded toward his attendant, And tea for me, thank you.The attendant bowed out, delivering our drinks and leaving us alone.Where's your fella? Lucifer asked. Leaning over; he pinched at my face, let go, then sat up straight in his chair.
Valentino? Uhh– Well, he had an emergency in his studio this morning. Couldn't get away.
Lucifer shot me with a wicked grin, Oh? That's probably for the best. Try your coffee.I gulped apprehensively and put the mug to my lips, getting a taste of it. Oh! I said, surprised. That's really good.
Smooth, right?
My face went hot as I locked eyes with his majesty, Uhh– yes. I mean, yes, sir.Mmhmm, he hummed. So, young man, you've built quite the empire for yourself over the years.
Yes, sir.

I'm sure it took a lot of grit, right?
I shifted and adjusted my posture.Lucifer smiled and set his cup down. If you want to continue on with your comfortable life that you've built for yourself, you'll obey me. If I ask you to do something, you'll do it. Is that understood? he grinned and thumped the apple of his cane under the rim of my chin. Are you ready to do as you're told?Frowning dramatically and not responding, I rolled my shoulders.You'll do as you're told, correct? he asked, expecting a response.Yes, sir– I rasped.
Good, so, we'll do this in steps. I'll call you in as topics of interest come to my attention. The first topic of interest is Angel and how he returned home earlier this week, bleeding profusely from Valentino beating the unholy snot out of him.

Wait, what?!

Well, I don't like blood all over the hotel's new carpet, so mistreating that kid is going to stop. Mistreatment of ANY kind. Handle Valentino, or I'll handle you both. And we don't want that, do we? To be handled?

No, sir, but what–

Just because Overlords can abuse those under contract, doesn't mean it's necessary to do so. Keep your fella in check, okay, and I won't have to punish you. Yes, sir?
Yes, sir, I gulped.Good boy, Lucifer grinned. Good boys are rewarded. A demon entered the room and gave the king an envelope. A substantial tax break for VoxTek this year. He slipped the envelope into my hand, Open it, do you consider that to be an acceptable reward for behaving?I slit open the envelope and glanced over the figures, gulping. Yes, Daddy– I rasped.Giving my chin a tap with his cane, he grinned as we locked eyes again, Now run on home and get your house in order. Let's keep Daddy happy.Getting to my feet, I slipped the envelope into my suit's inside pocket, Yes, sir–I left Lucifer's office and made my way home to our tower, finding Val in his studio. Planting my hands on my hips, I stared at Val as he yelled at a pair of terrified pornstars.Sorry, boss, the top mumbled roughly.Val, I called. Val! I need a word. Now.Turning, Val was irritated to see me. He waved a dismissive hand toward his crew and waltzed over to my side.You were supposed to join me this morning, I said slowly, holding back the urge to smack him in front of the room.Join you for what? Val asked and pulled out his cigarette holder.I narrowed my eyes and gave him a flat look. Glancing around, I found that Angel wasn't in the room, Where's Angel?
He's off for a couple days, recovering.
That's going to stop, I said and lit Val's cigarette. Beating him is going to stop.Val seductively sucked at his cigarette holder and blew out a stream of twisting red smoke, He's fine. I could've had him come in today, but I'm a nice boss. I like him walking straight before the filming starts. He glanced over at his stars who were awaiting further orders, I'm a nice fucking boss, right?!Terrified, they nodded vigorously.I sat in Val's chair, No, you let the kid work per your contract, and you're going to do whatever is necessary to keep him fucking happy, but you're going to keep YOUR hands off him and YOUR dick out of him.Frowning, the corners of Val's lips twitched in silent anger.Maybe you're done shooting for today, I grinned wickedly. You can pick up tomorrow, right? I looked at the staff, Pick up tomorrow, leave.Everyone quickly departed, leaving Val and myself alone.Since when do you come into my studio and start barking out orders? Val grumbled.
Since I met with his majesty this morning is when. You drew his attention by bloodying up one of his fucking ducklings. That's why you're going to knock it off or we're going to have problems.
Val scritched at his chin, his expression softening. Twirling his cigarette around, he sent some red smokey hearts toward my face.The hearts dissipated, and I eyed Val suspiciously. Standing up, I waited for him to get closer.God, I hate you, he said.Yeah, right, I sighed as an irritable Valentino approached me. I touched a sharpened claw under Val's chin, giving him a tingling zap of electricity.Ouch! Val yelped, jumping out of my wingspan.
You think ouch. When I ask you to attend a meeting, I'm not expecting you to disappear on me. And anyone huddled under his majesty's fucking wings are now off limits.
Val shifted and gave his arms a fold.Don't like being told what to do? I grinned wickedly. Come here.Frowning, he took an uneasy step back.I motioned him closer, Val, where you going?Nowhere– he mumbled.Holding my hand out, our fingers interlaced. I'll suck you off, I said, escorting him into a nearby dressing room.Oh? Val smirked and wagged his eyebrows as he kicked the door shut behind us. You must be in a good mood.I slipped Val the envelope from Lucifer as I maneuvered around my love, I am in a VERY good mood.Hmm, oh– he withdrew the tax paper and immediately stuck it back in the envelope without reading anything, tossing the envelope on the counter. Give me the Cliffs Notes.
A substantial amount of money for us if you treat Angel with some damn respect. If you don't, Lucifer more or less threatened me with... Well, I'm not sure what. Violence? I'm guessing– Or he wants to fuck me. One or the other.
Frowning dramatically, Val's eyes went wide and his eyebrows drifted upward.So, let's do what King Blondie says, hmm? I hummed, starting to work Val's pants and slipping them down.Val sat back into the room's loveseat, his semi-erect dick begging for my attention.I got on my knees in front of him and snaked my wet, hot tongue around Val's thick cock, Mmm.Ahh– Val breathed, closing his eyes in a state of natural ecstasy. Running my tongue along the length of him, I pulled at his thighs and positioned him for full access. He draped a leg over my shoulder, and I twisted my tongue around his engorged cock, continued along his balls and taint, and licked at his exposed pucker. Giving Val's hole an enjoyable light electric tingle, he gripped at the loveseat and my shoulders.Ahh, Voxxy– Sweat dripped from Val's temple, tracing his jawline.Mmhmm, I hummed against him.Holy fuck, he rasped in the heat of things, the room sweltering. Fuck, Vox.Enveloping Val's cock with my tongue and sliding, I rocked my love's fucking world until hot cum shot from his tip. Swallowing, I got to my feet as Val caught his breath.Heh, Val breathed. Taking out his cigarette holder, he lit the end of a cigarette, Maybe if you were less– busy, I wouldn't spend so much time with Angel.I don't want to fight, just do as you're fucking told, I grumped, eyeing him. Get dressed, we'll go eat lunch somewhere. Pocketing my tax exemption from Lucifer, I led the way out of the dressing room.
★★★
Watching Angel enter the tower from my control center in the basement, I went upstairs and caught him. Offering him my hand, I smiled as he accepted it.Balking, Angel's hair stood on end when I touched him.It's okay, I reassured him. How are you feeling? Got everything you need? Is there anything you want?A time machine? Val wanted me here an hour ago, he cringed. I better get in the studio. He's been blowing up my phone.
No-no, it's okay. I'm sure you had a good reason for being late.
Not convinced, Angel frowned dramatically and furrowed his eyebrows, Vox, I need to–
Give me your phone, let me see what he's been sending you.

Uhhh– I don't think he'd like that, I mean you know already, right?

Unlock your phone and give it to me.

I don't want to be in more trouble with him–
Feeling agitated at Angel's hesitation, I held my hand out and waited, smiling, Now, please.Unlocking his screen and opening the texts from Val, Angel looked like he was going to throw up when handing me his cell.Holding onto Angel's hand and scrolling through Val's messages, I was not impressed. Val started calling while I was reading, so I answered.You better get your ass in here now! Val yelled. You're holding up production!Hello, darling, I replied.Wait– What?! he started. Vox?!I'm escorting Angel into the studio right now, and the three of us are going to chat in Angel's dressing room. We'll meet you there in a few moments. I hung up without waiting for a response and returned Angel's phone. Angel, let's go.Angel was a bundle of anxiety as I escorted him into Val's studio. I grabbed a startled Val by an arm as I strode through the room, the staff were sporting terrified expressions as I hauled the boys along to get some privacy. Depositing Angel and Val into Angel's dressing room, I locked the door behind us and unbuckled my belt. I slipped the thick leather through my pant loops and pulled at the leather between either hand.Vox, no, wait– Val tried, crossing the room to get away from me and putting the loveseat between us. Angel was late! I was just suggesting that he was wasting everyone's time, making us wait– What was I supposed to say to get him here?!
You ask nicely– Now, get your wings out of my way, and I better see a naked ass bent over the arm of that loveseat before I walk over there.
Angel shifted back in something of a panic, Val! This wasn't my fault, Vox took my phone!Shh, Angel, you aren't the one in trouble, I said gently. Turning toward Val, I gave my belt a fold. Turn around and get your pants down. Sending a tiny jolt of electricity toward Val, it purposely missed but got him moving toward the loveseat.Voxxy, Val rasped.
Need help bending over?
No! he snapped irritably. I just don't want to!
I told you to treat Angel with respect, but apparently you'll never listen.

I listened.
Vox?! Angel panicked. You told Val to do what?!Val, you do not listen, I grumbled. Striding over, I grabbed Val's arm and forced it behind his back. Easily overpowering him and tipping his long body over the loveseat arm, I got his ass positioned for a good belting. I brought the belt up with my free arm and started lighting up the seat of pants. Watching his breathing, I knew he was feeling each belt lash. I paused and let go of his arm, Get your pants down or I'll give you another set across your pants and still whip your bare ass.
You're an asshole.
Grinning wickedly, I stepped into my swing and gave Val a searing CRACK.VOX!! he yelped and writhed around. FUCK!! Giving him another vicious CRACK, he grabbed at his neck to deal with the pain. I didn't even do anything! I'm SORRY!I read the texts. You aren't allowed to threaten Angel over text either. Bare your ass, now. CRACK!! I can belt you over your pants all day, I informed him. CRACK!!OKAY!! FINE!! Calm down for a second! Give me a FUCKING chance! Holding his ass, he stood up and got his pants unbuttoned and reluctantly slipped them down. Val's cheeks were already glowing.
Now bend back over.

He narrowed his eyes, Eres un cabrón.
Mmhmm, I hummed.Enjoying the fucking show? Val asked Angel and bent back over the loveseat.No! Angel cried out. Vox, please stop!Raising my belt, I stepped into my swing. The leather caught at Val's skin and left a vivid red mark across his cheeks. Bringing the belt down in a series of fiery licks, I shortly had Val yelping and crying out remorsefully.Vox, wait! Stop! He's had enough, Angel protested again after a time and grabbed my belting arm from behind me. He then wrapped all his arms around my body, forcing me to stop. I don't know what Val did to make you so angry. He didn't do anything different than usual.
Things have changed and if he puts hands on you again, you're to tell me immediately.
Val, stand up, Angel told him, not releasing me.With some effort, Val got to his feet and took some steps out of my grabbing zone while pulling up his pants.Val, you're going to behave your fucking self, I said roughly, waiting for Angel to release me.Val exited the room, a slight hitch in his giddyup from the whipping.Letting me go, Angel furrowed his eyebrows and took some steps back.If he hurts or disrespects you again, call me immediately, I directed and strung my belt back through my pant loops. Understood?Yes, sir, Angel gulped.
★★★
Later that night and in the apartment, Val and I were on the couch together. Val had positioned his bare ass over my lap while laying his long body across the couch.Ughh, Val breathed. Tears filled his eyes as I applied a salve to his thrashed cheeks. You didn't have to belt me like that, Val complained.Debatable– I breathed. Did you behave the rest of the day?
Why? I'm sure you already know.

No backtalk tonight.

Fine, whatever, Voxxy.
I gave his ass a finishing rub and carefully slipped his underwear back in place.Wincing, he shifted on the couch to lay sideways while I continued holding his backside.Velvette waltzed through and gave me an accusatory look, What'd you do to him? Why's he crying?Are you going out again? I asked her, changing the subject and giving Val's exposed leg a loving rub.
No, I have some things to wrap up before tomorrow's shoot.

Make sure to get some sleep tonight.
Yeah-yeah, she replied, waving me off and leaving us alone.I rubbed at Val's back, Valentino, be a good boy and we won't have to do this again, hmm?Yes, Voxxy, Val rasped submissively.

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----

Ignoring my phone, Valentino and I were shopping when one of my messengers managed to track me down. The messenger delivered an envelope and immediately departed. Opening the letter and staring at an official summons from Lucifer, I shifted a wordless glare toward Val.Vox, I swear to God, you are FUCKING pissing me off! Val snapped, beyond agitated with me. I haven't FUCKING touched Angel! Per your FUCKING command.Hmm, I hummed, thumbing at a fine looking knife in the shop with my free hand and holding the summons with my other. Well, should I even ask if you'd care to accompany me this time?No, you shouldn't ask– He pointed toward an item in the display case. This princess cut, cyan-and-watermelon red, bi-color tourmaline ring would look great on you, baby. It's set in an obsidian band. The ring matches your– he waved a hand toward my body, color scheme.
What color scheme?

Yours; obsidian, cyan, watermelon red.
I rolled my eyes, hard, and pocketed the letter from his majesty.Eyeing the clerk, then pointing at the ring, Val got the clerk to retrieve the desired item from the case. Inspecting it closely, Val was damn near touching the stone to his glasses.The shop owner, taking over once he noticed a sale was to be had, butted the clerk out of his way. Grabbing my hand and tightly sizing the ring to my finger with a tinge of his demonic power, the owner nodded, Excellent choice, Mr. Vox. Excellent. Shall I charge your account?Giving the owner a flat look, I shifted to glance over the wide obsidian band cutting off circulation to my left index finger, Make it a size up.No, that's the correct size, the owner said, looking at my finger over the top of his glasses.No, one size up, thank you, I grinned wickedly.Relenting, the owner did as I said.Val smiled brightly while taking my hand to inspect the ring. My love was certainly enthralled with the bi-color gemstone he picked out for me.Want anything? I asked Val.No-no, pick something for me, he replied.
I think you'd be happier if you chose something for yourself. Pick whatever you want.
Val irritably clicked his tongue.Fuck me sideways– Walking along the display case, I picked out a classy necklace dripping with diamonds. A stunner. The owner retrieved the necklace, and I put it on Val while he bent down for me. Do you like this? I whispered, giving his jawline an enjoyable, tingling lick. It's very expensive, baby.He grinned wickedly, Yes, Voxxy. I love it.I nodded toward the shop owner, signed electronically for my purchases, and exited the store with Val.When are you meeting Lucifer? Val asked as we got in the car.I ran a gentle claw along his jawline, Shortly, but I'll take you home first.Our driver dropped Val off at the tower, then he drove me over to a high-rise owned by Lucifer. The building was more or less abandoned, and like my prior visit here, the windows of every floor from bottom to top were eerily dark. Lucifer had only recently been coming around the masses, meeting people of influence about God knows what.Inside the lobby was a smartly-dressed demon guarding Lucifer's building. Mr. Vox! the golden-scaled Hellborn greeted me jovially but stayed seated in his armchair. Lucifer is expecting you. He flicked the tip of his tail, tipped the brim of his wide-brimmed fedora, and settled back in the chair.Thank you, I said and sauntered further inside. Walking through, I found Lucifer in the same first floor conference room as last time.Voxxy, you're a coffee drinker, right? Am I remembering correctly? Lucifer asked as I entered the room, him remembering our prior meeting. The king didn't give me any eye contact as he fished around in his stack of paperwork at the head of his conference table.I shifted, Is whiskey still being offered?An attendant appeared, getting me a drink without direction from the king and immediately departed.Filled crystal tumbler in hand, I walked toward Lucifer and sat in the corner chair next to him. Good afternoon, sir.Sorry, one moment– Lucifer said and made several different stacks with his pile of paperwork, then stared at me. So, how are you? he grinned wickedly, giving me his full attention.
Uhh– I'm okay.

That's great! Hopefully I didn't interrupt your busy schedule by calling you over here.
No, I shuffled my day around, I lied, having already cleared my schedule to take Val shopping. Not a problem, sir.I'll give you more notice next time, but I thought you'd be interested in this, he said and slid a report folder my way. Take a look.I grabbed the folder and opened it, You know, you could text me, sir, instead of summoning me via courier. You have my phone number– Flipping through the report pages, my eyes went wide, Wait, what is this?I knew you'd be interested, the king grinned wickedly. Assumably, you're aware that I'm upgrading the power grid in Pride. All the more power to do your little mind scrambling trick on my citizens, hmm?Balking, I stared at Lucifer while a crippling degree of fear coursed through me.Hmm? he hummed and jabbed at me with his cane. Naughty boy, using mind control on the masses, and not to mention your spy drones flying all over, and cameras that are mounted every-fucking-where. Should I punish you, Voxxy? a dangerous expression flashed across the king's face.I continued frowning and didn't reply.Well, perhaps we'll discuss punishments another time? Lucifer's chilling look faded and his grin returned, Today is a different matter, I'm giving you another reward! During the grid planning, I caught hold of some code schematics that aren't pertinent to my little project. So, I thought I'd pass this set of papers along to some smarty, and I thought of you first. You'll make a lot of money with these papers. What do we say, young man? Thank you, Daddy?I momentarily bit at my lip and continued reading through the pages he'd given me, Thank you, Daddy.He pinched at my chin, taking my attention away from the file folder and getting some eye contact, Good boy– Hey, bring your fella when I call next time, I'd love a chat with him.Frowning, I shifted anxiously, Why do you want to chat with Valentino?Ohh, well, why not? Lucifer grinned and his eyes flashed dangerously. Voxxy, you're to do as I ask, remember?Yes, sir, I rasped. Understood.
★★★
Leaving Lucifer's and getting home to the tower, I paced around my basement apartment while making some phone calls. I then sat at my desk, momentarily staring at my vast shark tank walls and at the powerful beasts swimming within their confines. In something of a state of shock, I fanned myself with the file folder before going through its pages one at a time.Are you back yet?
Val texted me while I was reading a very interesting page. Vox?!I shot Val a quick text back or he'd start blowing up my phone, I'm working downstairs.

Where?

My apartment.

Why aren't you up here?
he wrote and sent me a pissed off emoji. Whatevr. Don't come upstairs. I don't want to see you.The room's lighting caught at my new ring and I smirked, tapping my claws against the desk, Stop, okay? I'm in the middle of something. Come down here while I work, keep me company. My head is clearer downhere.

Cum up here.

I rolled my eyes and accessed my network on the screen in front of me. Zipping through my cameras and finding Val, he was laying in bed naked except for the necklace I'd bought him. I rolled my shoulders while staring at him, my body going hot, I'll be up there in a minute...
I shot off the text and stood up.Val stared toward the bedroom camera and lit his cigarette. Grinning wickedly, he blew out a stream of twisting red smoke before reading my text.Shifting into my electric form, I entered the tower's system and landed in the open living room of the upstairs apartment. I removed my suit jacket and jaunted toward the bedroom, finding my love in the same position as on-screen.Papi Chulo, Val greeted me deeply, seductively. He ran a smooth hand along the frame of his naked body and shot me with a wicked set of bedroom eyes.I arched an eyebrow his way, tossing my jacket and the report folder onto a nearby armchair. Lucifer requested that you join me next time, I informed Val about the meeting, shedding the rest of my clothes.
Did you fuck him?

Uh, of course not.

Why not?
'Why not?' Tino, his majesty doesn't actually want to fuck me, he's fucking with me. I only want to fuck you anyway. Standing in front of Valentino in all my naked glory, I planted my hands on my hips, I have to do what Lucifer says.
Says who?

Money says. Money is a controlling bastard.
Val, not focusing on what I was saying, or my naked body, was instead fixated on my ring.Ignoring him, I ripped open a condom wrapper and slipped the condom over my rock hard cock. Dripping lube strategically along Val's crack, I grinned wickedly. I thumbed at his pucker and slicked us up, easing the length of my thick cock deep inside him, and listening to his moans of pleasure.Ahh– Val breathed as our bodies became one. Vox–Grabbing Val by the hips, I leaned into him and gave his back an enjoyable, tingling lick. I grinned, the sensation instantly changing Val's breathing into something more erratic. Heat rolled off his long body as I began thrusting into him. The room was sweltering. Fucking him in our usual rhythm, I grabbed the back of Val's nearest hand and interlaced my fingers through his, pinning that arm to the bed, Val, you're so fucking hot.Vox, my name dripped from his tongue. Ahh, Vox– Mmmm, deeper. Deeper.Fucking Val hard, I pulled out and got him to turn around. Finishing him off with a wet, tingling lick and suck, our eyes locked and I grinned wickedly while swallowing his hot, sweet cum.Val, catching his breath, put his cigarette holder to his thin lips.I lit the end and stood up to go shower. The spa-like en suite was beyond inviting. Snapping on my shower cap and getting in under the hot water, I washed away all my hard work, watching the sweat and sex circling the drain.Val joined me in the en suite and removed his necklace before getting under the water, keeping his wings dry as he stepped in behind me. He leaned into me and kissed at the water droplets beading on my shoulders. Scents of lemon, vanilla, and sandalwood enveloped us.You really don't want to meet Lucifer? I questioned, reaching behind myself and grabbing his ass. Hmm?No thanks, he replied, moving over and sitting on the stone bench.Lovingly, I maneuvered around to give Val all of my attention, kissing at his beautifully handsome body. I lathered up Val's neck fluff and rinsed out the shampoo. Taking one of his arms, I kissed at the water droplets from his wrist to shoulder.Departing from the shower together, I dried his mane and brushed him out. God, you're beautiful, I rasped, kissing at his temple.Val smiled genuinely.I took his hand in mine and gave it a gentle kiss, I'll have someone bring us dinner.Okay, Vox, he breathed, messing with my ring.So– I started on a new subject. Lucifer knows about the mind control.
Did he tell you to stop?

No, but he threatened me.

You should stop going over there.

What excuse would I give for not going? Plus, he's giving me things. Things that are going to make us very rich.

I give you things. I gave you this ring.
I paid for this ring, I laughed lightly. You didn't pay for it.
So what, you have that ring because of me. I love money too, but you're obsessed, Vox. Especially when it comes down to whose money bought what.
I gave him a flat look and didn't respond. Instead, I sent a text out to one of my guys about dinner.I'm going out after we eat, Val informed me.I rolled my eyes, Yeah, alright.
★★★
Several days later and I was physically in Val's studio making sure Angel was still being treated per Lucifer's commands. Val did not appreciate my looming presence in his domain and kept mean-mugging me from his seat next to mine.VOX, don't you have work to do?! Val snapped my way.No, I replied. My dear, I'm the boss, I delegated some of today's smaller tasks to free up time for you.Angel waltzed over toward us, looking exhausted.Handing Angel a bottled water, Val ran a gentle finger along Angel's jawline, Drink something, stay hydrated, baby.I gave them a look and Angel took an awkward sidestep away from Val. Rolling my eyes, I checked my messages and noticed that my assistant had slipped inside the room. He was scared shitless coming in here, but he approached me and whispered an urgent matter into my ear. I sighed and glanced at Val, I'll be back, you two behave yourselves.Val grumbled under his breath and Angel frowned, fidgeting with the lid of his unopened water bottle.Getting up and moving to exit the studio, I halted at the door as Lucifer slipped past me to enter the room. The king chuckled at my side, elbowing me with vigor, I came to meet with your fella since you seemed so hesitant to bring him over.Pinching at my non-existent nose, I closed my eyes, Fuck me.Not today, young man, Lucifer laughed. Glancing across the room, he gave Val and Angel a little jovial wave.Oh my God– I breathed. Val?! I called out. Can you break for lunch?Val gave me a look and held out some arms in a what the fuck is happening here sort of way, We already broke for lunch.The sound of Lucifer's cane tip clicking and expensive heels clacking against the floor startled me as he began striding forward. Heading toward Val, the king's eyes were glowing demonically. I shifted to block Lucifer but he sidestepped around me and plopped himself into my studio chair. Boys, he grinned and grabbed my hand when I sidled up next to him. He closely inspected my bi-color tourmaline ring. Let's talk, but I'll wait for your shoot to wrap up. Get in there, Angel. He let go of my hand to give Angel's ass an attaboy slap when the star crossed in front of him. Do your thing, kid.Angel was clearly mortified.My eyebrows drifted upward and I motioned toward my assistant to find me another chair.Val handed Lucifer a script.The king gave me a wink and more or less followed along as the shoot progressed. During a transition, Lucifer leaned against Val and Val leaned down so that Lucifer could whisper into Val's ear. I didn't catch what was said but it must have been hilarious as it got a guffaw out of Val.Rolling my eyes, I shifted in my chair and watched a concerned Angel staring at Valentino.Filming ended shortly and Angel was clearly at his limit. I motioned to him and he approached me.Angel, one to go, Val told him. Take a break.Yes, Val, Angel said submissively.Val thought for a split second, then anxiously glanced at Lucifer who wasn't paying attention to anything. Val didn't recognize this fact and looked toward me for confirmation that he wasn't crossing any lines.I arched a sharp quizzical eyebrow at Val.Oh, yeah– Val said in a sickly sweet tone, grabbing another water and giving it to Angel. Make sure to stay hydrated, Angel baby.Frowning, Angel shifted away with his water and disappeared into his dressing room.You ever star in one of these, Voxxy? Lucifer asked me.Val spluttered out a knee-slapping laugh.My eye twitched.Shooting me with a wicked grin, Lucifer tapped my chin with the apple of his cane.Heh, Val finished laughing, raising his glasses slightly to flick away a laughter tear.I stood up and strode off to enter Angel's dressing room, leaving Lucifer alone with Valentino.Looking at me with a wide-eyed expression, Angel fearfully shifted away to the opposite side of the room.I need a drink and a fucking cigarette– I breathed. You doing okay?Angel's face pinkening, he anxiously turned toward the nearest mirror, Yeah, Vox, I'm fine. He poured whiskey into a tumbler and brought it to me, then started changing into a different outfit.While Angel was changing, I got on my phone and accessed the camera focused on Lucifer and Val. The two were chatting and joking around. Ughh.Why's Charlie's dad here? Angel asked me.Considering telling Angel why he's suddenly being treated better, I decided not to divulge anything since Lucifer obviously hadn't told him either. Lucifer wanted to meet with Val but didn't tell me why. So, the king decided to join us today.Fun, the star said, drinking some of his bottled water. Val's idea of treating Angel well had led to a large pile of unopened waters piled on the counter. Walking to my side, Angel looked at my cell screen, Uhhh– is leaving them alone a good idea?I shifted and continued staring at my phone, Probably not.

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----

Upon wrapping up production, an exhausted Angel was scooped up by Lucifer and taken home through a portal. Lucifer had departed without having any meaningful conversation with us, though the king had gotten in a few more jabs on my account. Whatever, fuck face king.The following day was exhaustive with a docket full of wall-to-wall meetings. I was managing to keep up with my regular business while planning deployment for my latest Lucifer gift. The revolutionary code schematics he gifted me would be a major bootstrapping to VoxTek's core systems. I went through it, line by line, checking for any signs of deception on Lucifer's part, which, there was none to be found. It only contained advanced, clean code.At midnight, Val came bouldering into my basement command center.I turned in my chair, giving him my full attention.Catwalking along the cavernous room's centered walkway against my shark tank floors, he arrived in front of me and planted some irritated hands on his hips, Vox, I've been TEXTING and CALLING you.Darling, I'm busy,
I informed him.
Why are you working so late? Because you spent all day yesterday lording over me? Serves you right.
Turning away slightly and giving Val some side-eye, I arched a sharp eyebrow his way and fully turned back toward my wall of screens.Val got closer and sat on my lap, slinging his legs over the chair's side and wrapping some arms around my shoulders.I continued working and gently intertwined one set of his fingers with mine, bringing his hand up and giving it a gentleman's kiss, You've been lashing out less lately. Did that fire I lit across your ass reach your brain?
My ass still hurts from the belting you gave me.
No it doesn't, I laughed lightly, letting go of his hand and giving the side of his bottom some love pats. Though, I can relight the fire any time, hmm? Understood?Yes, I understand, jackass, he hissed. How much longer are you working tonight?
I'm surprised you didn't go out.
Val bent his head down to gently bite at my neck, I have a full day scheduled starting in the morning. Let's go to bed.I closed out my projects and we stood up together. I have a meeting with my department heads first thing, I grumped.
Why do you even have department heads? You do everything your damn self. Working yourself fucking sick.
Rolling my eyes, I escorted Val out of my command center and onto the elevator, I don't do everything.
Damn near, estúpido man.
We made our way upstairs and into the penthouse, his hands all over me as we made out in the entryway.Hem– Velvette announced her presence as she lounged in front of the TV in a nest of luxury pillows and expensive blankets.Breaking apart and swooping up a very long-bodied Valentino, I swung my love around and deposited him on the couch. You okay? I asked Velvette and arched an eyebrow toward the TV. What the Hell are you watching?Real Demonwives of Envy, Vel and Val said in unison.Good God– I breathed and gave them a look before walking off toward Val's and my bedroom. Changing for bed into my silk nightclothes, I returned to the open living room and rolled my eyes at the TV. I climbed over the back of the couch and Val lifted his ass to rest his butt on my lap as I sat down. How can you stand this show?Shush, Velvette snipped. We haven't seen this one. It aired earlier tonight.Not interested in the show and grabbing my phone to sneak in some work, I was interrupted by Valentino grabbing my cell away from me.No, he said.I gave him a flat smile and held out my hand.Irritably narrowing his eyes, he returned my phone, You're done working tonight. Let your brain fucking rest.Yes, fine, I grumped, slipping my phone into my nightshirt's breast pocket.Val frowned, Thank you.I heard Lucifer was in Val's studio yesterday, Vel said during a commercial. What did he want?To fuck Vox, Val chuckled lightly.Velvette's eyebrows drifted up into her hairline.Rolling my eyes, I prodded at Val's ass, Will you stop? It's nothing like that.Oh yeah, Lucifer invited us to a thing on Friday, Val said.
What thing? And when did he do this? When I left you alone with him yesterday?
Here, he replied and slipped an envelope from his dress. Take it.
And why didn't you give me this yesterday?

I'm giving it to you now.
Oh my God– I breathed. Taking the envelope, I slit open the seal and read the gold leaf invitation to a benefit gala hosted by Lucifer. You're invited too, Velv.She rolled her eyes, Short notice, super.
You're going. If you're busy, figure it out.
Saluting me, she gave me a grumpy look, Yes, sir.After an hour, the show ended and something else started playing. Velvette turned the TV off and departed for her bedroom in our apartment instead of going down to her place.Val dragged me off to our bedroom just as I'd started feeling relaxed after work. The decompression was being replaced with pure exhaustion. Shedding his clothes, my love crawled his naked self into bed next to me in my silks. Goodnight, baby, he whispered, slipping his hand under my nightshirt to lovingly rub my chest.I grinned and lowered the light setting on my face, Goodnight, Val.Falling asleep, I opened my eyes bright and fucking early to see my assistant hovering at the end of our bed.Good morning, sir, my assistant rasped, fear dripping off him. Sir, if we don't head downstairs now, your whole schedule will be thrown off.Why are you in my bedroom? I asked lightly.With his sleep being disturbed and his volatile mood evident, Val irritably eyed my assistant. My love then turned his attention toward me, concentrating fully on my body. Unbuttoning my nightshirt, he kissed and sucked a trail from my collarbone down to my happy trail.I grinned wickedly at my assistant who had taken on a neon-red shade of embarrassment. Managing to grab a cigarette from the nightstand and lighting it as Val freed my hard cock, I exchanged some electric eye contact with Val.Tell your guy to leave, Val grumbled, kissing at me.I took a long drag and blew the smoke away from Val, keeping an eye on my assistant.Sir, we need to go downstairs... my assistant nearly whispered.They'll wait, I replied.
It's not them I'm worried about, but the next meeting. The lawyers have the contract drawn up, and we don't want to risk the business owner running into them first.
I rolled my eyes, Let me worry about it. I'll track the guy down and get him to sign if I have to.My cock awaited attention and Val snaked his long, wet tongue from my base to my tip, sliding it deliciously against my rock hard shaft. Mmm, enjoying the show? I asked my assistant, a heat radiating through my body as Val took the length of me in his hot mouth. Holding my cigarette over the nightstand ashtray, my eyes momentarily rolling back in ecstasy, I flicked the ashes off and set it down to finish after relishing in some pleasure. I laid a gentle hand on Val's head and shot my underling with a wicked set of bedroom eyes.Running away, the young man slammed our bedroom door shut.Heh– I breathed.Val's lips around my engorged cock, sliding, was beyond euphoric.I rubbed a loving thumb against his beautiful head and gripped at the bedding with my free hand. Ahh– I breathed slowly. Tino, I'm close.Mhmm, he hummed.Reaching my limit while taking in his beautifully handsome form, my hot cum shot down his throat.Swallowing and pulling back, Val looked at me with a wicked grin, You'd better get to work, Papi.I rolled my eyes, hard, and we maneuvered around the bed. Smoking the last of my smoldering cigarette, I got to my feet and made my way into the en suite.Showering, dressing, and getting downstairs; I entered the conference room and had a quick word with my marketing head, then told everyone to get back to work.Coffee, I demanded of my assistant as I personally neatened the conference room.Yes, sir, he sighed, frustrated with me.
Young man, sigh on your own time.

Yes, sir...
I plugged in the projector and grabbed my coffee mug, waiting for my first real meeting of the day. Get the lawyers in here, I said. Make sure they have everything ready for this asshole to sign. Glancing over, I noticed Lucifer waltzing into the room.What asshole is signing what? Lucifer asked, cane tip clicking, expensive heels clacking as he neared my side.Shocked by his sudden presence, I shifted back and frowned dramatically.Planting himself at the head of the conference table, Lucifer shot me with a wicked grin. He tapped the neighboring corner chair with the apple of his cane and gave me a nod, Sit.Sir, I'm meeting someone soon, I said.
No.

No?

I already met them and bought them out.

You what?

I beat you to it this morning, hmm? What's with that expression, young man, are you angry?
Hem– Uh, no, sir, I grumped. Not at all.Why are you buying out little mom and pop shops in your sliver of the pentagram? he asked.
Why are you?
Because I can, Lucifer grinned wickedly. Answer me, Voxxy.At his dominant tone, electric anxiety prickled across my body.He raised his eyebrows, expecting an answer.It's a community outreach program, I lied. I purchase businesses under water and encourage the former owners to continue working there.He pinched at my chin, Aww, what a good heart you have.I rolled my shoulders, W-would you like something to drink?The lawyers suddenly showed up, of their own accord, and I unsuccessfully attempted to free myself from Lucifer's grasp.The king jerked my screen closer to him and held me in place, Eyes on me, young man.In a panic, my assistant chased the lawyers out of the conference room and slammed the door shut. He locked the three of us inside and stood in front of the door's glass.Shifting my eyes around and trying to plan an escape route, I gulped as raw anxiety coursed through my body. My screen glitched while Lucifer kept a firm grip on me.No-no, Lucifer said gently. Eyes on me. Stop resisting and I'll let go, hmm?I stopped trying to pull away and stared into the king's eyes, my heart racing.I'll let go but stay right where you are, he whispered.My entire body was running lava hot, Yes, sir–Letting go, the king's wicked grin returned, Now, tell me the truth about why you're buying people out?I frowned, Lately, I get owners to sign over their businesses for pennies on the dollar, then I dissolve the business. I repurpose the real estate to fit my needs, installing my own people to run whatever I'd like.And the naughty boy thought he should lie to Daddy about this? And about something so ridiculous? Tsk-tsk. He pointed a lazy index finger toward my assistant, Young man, large black tea, hot, two sugar, from the cafe in the lobby.Wordlessly, my assistant bolted from the conference room.We don't lie to Daddy, Lucifer informed me, running a smooth finger along the edge of my face. I'll find out eventually, right? And do you know what happens when naughty boys get caught lying to Daddy?Racked with anxiety, I didn't answer but kept the eye contact Lucifer demanded.My assistant shortly returned with a tea from the cafe in my lobby. He must've skipped the line and went back to get it himself. Your majesty, he rasped.Thank you, Lucifer smiled at him and grabbed the tea, then refocused on me.I hesitantly side-eyed my assistant, Umm, apparently Lucifer is requesting my full attention today.Correct, the king inserted.Giving my assistant a nod, I threw a thumb toward the door, So, clear today's schedule and take the afternoon off.Frowning, my assistant shifted back and exited the conference room.With a snap of his fingers, Lucifer locked the door, and from the king's fingertips, a cascading demonic shroud of black and red fog entombed us.Not knowing what Lucifer was going to do with me, my eyes darted around wildly.Eyes on me, remember? he said, grabbing my chin again.The fog cleared and I found that he'd whisked me away to elsewhere. And elsewhere appeared to be inside a high-end residence.Lucifer let go of me and set his tea down on a coffee table. He sat on the couch and crossed his legs, Come here, Voxxy.Slowly, I fronted him.Kneel, he directed and uncrossed his legs.I knelt and gave him a look of despair.He took the apple of his cane and hooked it on top of my head, guiding me to lay my face against his knee, Tell Daddy what you did wrong.Tricked people out of their businesses, I said toward the floor.Thumping the apple of his cane to the back of my head, it caused me to glitch for a second. I don't care about that, he snipped.I sucked in a sharp breath and brought a hand up to hold the back of my smarting head, I lied.
Do we lie to Daddy?

No, sir.
Grabbing my hand that was holding my head, he set my hand aside and gave the spot assaulted a gentle rub. Your Valentino told me how you modified his behavior. Does the same method work on you, young man? Should I leather your hide?My breathing changed and I was suddenly having trouble taking in air.He moved a hand down and gently rubbed at my back, Shhh, naughty boys need discipline, right? And then you'll be my obedient boy, hmm?Yes, Daddy– I rasped against his knee.
Okay, stand up and be still.
Obediently and hot with embarrassment, I stood up and fronted him again.Lucifer worked my pants and pulled them down with my briefs, everything pooling at my ankles. He pulled at my shoelaces to untie them and nodded, Step out.I neatly set my pants and shoes aside, slipped out of my suit jacket and gave it to him, and glanced down at my very unhappy dick.The king pointed, Walk over to my desk and open the top right drawer. He waved a lazy hand when I hesitated, Go on, do as you're told.My dress shirt brushed across the top of my ass as I walked over to his desk. The sensation made my skin prickle with an electric anxiety. Reaching the desk and opening the top right drawer, there was a thick strap laying on top of a stack of some hundred-year-old paperwork. The pleasant scent of oiled-leather drifted upward. Picking up the strap, it dangled from my hand.Voxxy, fetch it here, young man, Lucifer called lightly.Bringing Lucifer the strap, I gave it to the king and looked at him.He caught me by the wrist and his eyes flashed dangerously, Over my lap.I laid across his knees with my face near the floor and my ass up. Expecting the strap, I yelped in surprise when he started spanking me with a heavy hand. I'm sorry! I yelped. Sir! That's, wait, SIR–Lucifer's hand continued to land at a brisk pace, I bet you're sorry.A good series of fiery slaps to either cheek had tears welling in my eyes. OUCH! I cried out. Ah-OUCH! Reaching back to protect my ass from the onslaught, he caught me by the wrist and pinned my hand behind my back. My eyes burned as tears suddenly started running down my screen and dripped onto the hardwood floor beneath me. Luci– I sobbed. AHHhhh, Lucifer, sir, I'm sorry! A roaring fire burned brightly across either cheek. Please, s-sir.Lucifer paused my spanking and forced me to stand up. Through my tear-blurred-eyes, I was grabbed by the king and bent over the arm of his priceless couch. The king manipulated my position by reaching through my legs and grabbing my balls with one hand while pressing a flat palm to my back with his other. Stay like that, keep your ass up and don't reach back. Yes, Daddy? He slid the oiled leather across my bottom.Sobbing, I did my best to obey him, Yes, Daddy.CRACK!!AH-OWWWwwww! I wailed as the first fiery lick whipped across my cheeks. The burning sensation the thick leather left behind intensified and was almost unbearable.CRACK!!The second fiery lick landed, and I tried to cry but my voice left me. The pain was excruciating, causing my screen to glitch for a moment.He paused and held a gentle hand against the flames, Breathe, Voxxy.CRACK!!WAH-OWWWWWwwww! I cried and writhed against the couch arm. Giving my feet a stamp against the floor, I held my head to resist the temptation of reaching back to protect my punished ass.Resting his hand against my bottom again and then withdrawing it, the thick leather lashed across my lower cheeks with a loud CRACK!!SIR!! I screamed. I'M SORRY!! PLEASE!!The strapping ended and Lucifer rubbed at my shoulder blades. Stand up, young man.I slumped to the floor, holding a hesitant hand above the roaring fire but too scared to touch my skin.Vox, stand up now or would you like another lick? Lucifer threatened, strap in hand.Silently crying my eyes out, I managed to get to my feet.He placed the leather in my hand and it dangled from my grip, Walk the strap back and return it to the desk drawer. If we have to come back here, you'll get double what you got today.Sucking in a sharp breath, I managed to get a hold of myself while walking toward the desk. My burning ass cheeks on full display for him, the fire wasn't going to die down any time soon. I placed the strap in the drawer and turned to look at him.Sitting on the couch, Lucifer motioned to me, Come here.I obeyed and slowly made my way back to him.Lucifer grabbed my wrist and pulled until I sat on his lap.When my blazing ass cheeks made contact with the king's pants, electricity crackled around my face and my screen glitched for a moment. He rubbed my back and I clung to him submissively.You will do as you're told, Lucifer said gently. Yes, sir?Yes, sir– I rasped, my voice rough from crying.

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----

Laying next to Val, I didn't open my eyes but knew he was trying to slip out of bed without waking me. It had been a long ass week, and I was enjoying sleeping in later than usual.Good morning, Tino, I grinned, eyes still closed.Startled by my voice, Val jumped and grumbled something inaudible.I opened an eye slightly and watched him.Should I have breakfast brought up? he asked.Oh, yes, please, I replied, waking fully at the mention of food and sitting myself upright. I stretched and twisted until my spine cracked in a number of places, including deep and low in my tailbone. The feeling was so nice, I damn near started drooling.Val was mortified, That was disgusting.
Oh, but it's okay when you crack your back? And it was not disgusting, it was fucking orgasmic.
Ughh– Val grumbled and texted someone about breakfast. My love gave me a flat look and got out of bed. Walking around the room, he disappeared into the en suite and started the shower.Getting to my feet, I joined Val and took over the shower only to get bitched at the entire time. Turn on the other showerhead, I told him when he started trying to physically remove me. With myself washed and taken care of, I laughed my way out of the shower and away from him and the loofah he'd lobbed my way.Throwing on barely enough clothes to lounge around in comfort, and spending the day with Val, he eventually disappeared to get ready for Lucifer's shindig. I didn't feel like doing much of anything, let alone putting on clothes and attending a party.Velvette strolled into the penthouse shortly before it was time to leave and gave me an irritated look. I was laying on the couch, sprawled out in only boxers and an untied silk robe. Vox– Velv grumbled.You look dashing, my dear, I complimented her and the red couture dress she was donning.Thank you, she snipped. And why aren't you ready?I waved her off, It'll take me fifteen minutes to get dressed.
We also have to drive over there. So, get some clothes on.

Don't worry about me. Go see if Val needs you, he's been in there alone for quite some time.

Why didn't you ask him if he needed help, you're right here?!
I shrugged.Velvette's eyes went wide.What's the problem? I snipped. He'd ask if he wanted me in there.Oh my God– Velvette breathed. Frustrated at my lack of engagement, Velv exited the living room and after a bit, they walked out together. She nodded toward the bedroom, Vox, go get dressed. We should be leaving right now.I had a mother, I don't need another one, I informed Velvette from my spot on the couch.She rolled her eyes, Whatever.I turned my focus on my beautifully-handsome Valentino.Val, all dolled up, was in a midnight black, form-fitting cocktail dress with a high slit. The dress was neatly accented with Swarovski crystals and gold while he dripped in a classy set of diamond jewelry. Hmm, Papi? Val breathed as he shot me with a wicked set of bedroom eyes. This alright?Absolutely stunning, I informed Val. Standing up and fronting my love, I gently took him by the wrist and gave his hand a gentleman's kiss, My darling.Val smiled genuinely, relishing in my attention.Somehow, I managed to pry myself away from him, begrudgingly, and left them to get myself dressed. I changed into a dark ensemble; a black split tailcoat tux, onyx shirt and tie, and the waistcoat was black with an intricate design of shimmering-red needlework roses. My gemstone cufflinks were striking cyan tourmalines, and matching my getup was my cyan-and-watermelon red, bi-color tourmaline ring that I wore on my left index finger.Finding Val and Velv impatiently waiting for me, we exited the apartment together and left.I drove us to a brightly lit building owned by Lucifer, and inside were affluent Hellborn demons crawling all over the place. We were getting some nasty looks from the attendees. Pretentious assholes.Catching sight of me, Lucifer shoved some demons out of his way and sauntered toward us. Voxxy, darling, the king greeted me. Valentino! he took Val's hand in his and kissed it. Thank you for joining us tonight.Val's face went a bright shade of embarrassed.And this is Velvette, Lucifer grinned and shifted toward her. Dear, I apologize for not introducing myself before tonight.Stoically spellbound, Vel moved with Lucifer's motions. She placed her hand in his and frowned, Delighted to be here.Smoothly, Lucifer shifted to click his cane tip to the floor and leaned against his apple topper. With his free hand, the king partially hid his mouth in some sort of mock attempt at a private conversation with us, I hate these events, having to schmooze with a room full of tightwads.A nearby demon couple clearly heard his majesty and scoffed loudly in the king's direction.I better see that checkbook out later, mister, Lucifer laughed toward the husband, giving the couple a look.Yes, your majesty– the husband grumbled and escorted his lady away from us.Suddenly appearing at Lucifer's side was Angel in a designer tux. The star shifted uncomfortably, eyeing Valentino before locking eyes with me.Why are you here? Val asked Angel.Because I asked him to be here, Lucifer grinned wickedly.I gave Val a warning glance to behave. The look wasn't lost on him.The room's lights dimmed and a spotlight focused on a sharply dressed Hellhound walking up on stage. They introduced our royal host and suddenly, the spotlight beamed down on Lucifer. The king gave the attendees a smug smile and a wave, then the spotlight refocused on the announcer who laid out tonight's itinerary.Lucifer led us to his table and we sat down while some pretty gal waltzed out on stage to start singing.I glanced at Val and how Angel had somehow ended up sitting on his other side. Angel, switch seats with Velvette, I strongly suggested.Velvette arched a sharp eyebrow my way as the Hellhound from the stage sat next to her, Everyone's fine, Vox.Having zero control over the situation, my head started going hot.Voxxy, calm down, Lucifer laughed lightly, picking up on my vibes.Giving me a look, Val held out his cigarette holder and I lit the end.Who will be my top donor this evening? Lucifer wondered quietly to our table before glancing around the room. It could be anyone, really. The king's eyes returned to our table and he focused on me. Anyone.At the eye contact, electric anxiety prickled through my body.Pulling Lucifer's attention away from me, the server brought us champagne and menus.Dinner arrived rather quickly and everyone was having a good time while I was a nervous wreck.I managed to eat, then slipped away from the table in search of the funds coordinator. I snaked my way through the crowd to the opposite side of the room and my eyes locked with a gold-scaled Hellborn at a table. The gal had a clipboard, a lockbox, and several money-dripping Hellhounds sitting with her. Ma'am, I greeted the demon with the clipboard. What's, uhh– I hesitated. So, what's the highest donation so far?That will be revealed at the night's end, Mr. Vox, one of the well-to-do Hellhounds replied. You know, I really like that new show that just started. What's it called? Hellfire Beat. The Hellhound playing lead detective, he's a great actor.
I could get you his autograph– for a little favor... Just let me know the highest donation.
I've no need for an autograph, he's my uncle. He's actually here tonight, somewhere, the young man said, glancing around for his uncle. He's a social guy.Oh– I gave the Hellhound a flat look.Pardon, a brash demon said and all but shoved me out of the way. Whipping out his checkbook, he slapped it against the table and started writing out a check with a gold ink pen.I rolled my eyes, then tried to see how much he was giving Lucifer.The demon was too quick for me to look, slipping the check to the gal who secretly recorded the amount before shoving it into her lockbox.No peeking, Mr. Vox! the Hellhound got after me.The writer of the check gave me a nasty look before sauntering away.Frowning, I withdrew my checkbook from the inside pocket of my tux jacket.Suddenly, Valentino appeared at my side, hanging on me, Giving our money away, Papi?I arched a razor sharp eyebrow his way and split the signed check off at the perforated line, Whose money?Your money, he whispered submissively against my neck, biting at me.
Behave yourself.

Yes, Papi.
The gal recorded my check amount without letting me see her list, Lucifer will announce his top donors at the end of the night.Exciting, I said in a monotone voice. Turning toward Val, I smiled and held out an arm, Darling. Threading his arm through mine, we walked back to the table and I planted myself next to Angel, forcing Val to trade seats with me.Val clicked his tongue.A server appeared and opened a fresh bottle of champagne for our table and left.You okay? I asked Angel.I'm fine, Vox, the star answered, tired of my fussing.Standing up, I refilled Angel's flute before Val's and mine, then sat back down.Thank you, Daddy, Angel grinned.Mhmm, I kinda grumped.Enjoying the evening's entertainment, more or less, I was glad, however, when the announcer at our table left their seat next to Velvette and sauntered back up on stage. The gold-scaled gal joined the Hellhound, bringing up a paper and giving it to the announcer. The Hellhound wrapped up with some closing commentary about why we were raising money, then started ticking off the names of tonight's five biggest donors with me being number one.Lucifer stood up and the spotlight focused on his majesty, Thank you, Mr. Vox! You really showed this group the proper response to a call from your king!At that, grumbling guests began dispersing. Val, who had used up his day's good boy reserves, was getting increasingly bitchy with me.Velvette, dear, let's go! I called toward Velv and summoned her with some lazy hand motions.Vel was surrounded by a crowd of young adult trust fund spawnlings and was having a good time socializing with them. She waved me off, Vox, I'll text you when I'm on my way home.
A quick word.
Ugh– Vel irritably breathed my way and told her new little well-to-do friends that she'd be right back. Striding over, she planted her hands on her hips. Yes?
Best behavior. Got it?
Yes, sir, she snipped and saluted me facetiously.I narrowed my eyes and gave her a flat look, And call if you need me.
Yes, fuck's sake, Vox. I'll be fine.

I know.

We're going to Basic.
I grabbed my wallet and slipped her a card to use, mainly so I could keep tabs on the situation and know her location, Have a good time but let those entitled brats buy their own drinks. Call the car to pick you up and text me when you're on your way home. Don't get too snockered, hmm?Hearing my list of commands, Velv gave me an irritated side-eye, Yes, Vox. Okay? Kissing my cheek goodbye and sidestepping away, she quickly strode back toward the group of Hellborn.VOX, let's go! Valentino snapped at me.Yes, alright, I replied, exasperated with him.Leaving the venue and driving us home, we got upstairs and started settling in for the evening.I sat in the armchair near my side of the bed.I'm still hungry, Val mumbled.Mmm, I hummed. Lighting a cigarette, I smoked while watching Val work to get undressed, Why don't you ever ask me for help? Come here.Val clicked his tongue at me, I don't need your help.Come here, Tino, I called gently.Fine– Val rasped, obediently approaching and turning around.I stood up and set my cigarette down in my ashtray. Unzipping Val's dress for him, I kissed at my love's deliciously bared back, letting the dress slip down until he could step out of it. I moved my hands back up and unclasped his diamond necklace and took care of his matching bracelet, setting them on my nightstand. There you go, darling. I sat back in the armchair and took in his beautiful form.Wearing only a thong, Val sat on my lap and wrapped some arms around me, We should've stopped for food.Laughing lightly, I gave his hip some love pats, Dinner with Lucifer wasn't enough? I grabbed my cigarette and took a long drag, blowing the stream of smoke away from him.Apparently not, Val frowned and slipped my tie through his fingers before moving to loosen it.
You were a good boy tonight.

Thank you, Papi.
Mmhmm, I hummed. Smoking my cigarette down to the filter, I put the butt in the ashtray and fully concentrated on Val. Things were getting heated when my cell started ringing. I answered but Val's hands were all over me, Mmmph, Val, pause. He didn't listen, so I grabbed some of his hands, Pause!Gross– Velvette breathed into the phone.Shut up, miss. What's wrong? Why are you calling? I asked as Val struggled to free himself from my grip.
The bouncer won't let me in.

Not to sound like a total asshat, but do they know who you are?

Yeah, they knew.
Well, if they won't let you in, just come home, please. Letting go of Val, I got in a meaty slap to his left ass cheek. Be still! I hissed at him. I'm on the damn phone.Val glared daggers and shoved at me.Stop, okay? I laid a gentle hand on his crown and he rested his head against my knee.Whatever, he grumped, calming down slightly.Are you standing outside by yourself? I asked Velvette, alarmed by her situation.No, I'm with one of the boys in his car, she replied. His driver is with us.
Comforting.

Can't you get me into this place?

Into a place that doesn't want you as a patron?
Where'd she go? Val asked.
A club called Basic.

Oh, yeah, that's a Hellborn club in the second circle.
I arched an eyebrow toward my phone, Velv, I'll send the car to pick you up. Stay with that boy until it arrives.Please, Voxxy? she whined.
Oh my God– Alright, Velvette, sit tight.
Yes, sir, Vel said snottily.
Ughh, bye–
Buh-bye, she replied and hung up.Throw on some clothes, I told Val and stood up to adjust my disheveled tux.Leaving Pentagram City and having our driver take us down, we easily found Basic in the second ring.I sent Velv a text, We've arrived. Thank that boy for harboring you and get over here.Look, the line to get in goes down the fucking block, Val said and waved an index finger along the crowd.After a moment, Velv entered the limo and I was shocked when her new large Hellhound friend joined us inside the car.Stuffing himself in the seat across from me and Val, he smiled cutely and removed his fedora, Mr. Vox.Uhh– Hello, young man, I greeted him. So, Velvette, how do you think I'm going to get you inside? I asked her. They wouldn't let you in with this handsome gentleman?Bouncer was pretty rude about it, the young man said. But I wasn't going to leave her alone on the street.Well, thank you, I told him.Velv pulled at her eye, Vox, can't you..?Mmm– I hummed, thinking it over. Fine.We exited the vehicle and walked up to the bouncer, bypassing the queue.Before the bouncer caught what was going on, I slipped him a few large bills and got some eye contact. Hypnotizing bouncer boy, I told him my group was welcome here anytime and we were entering the club now. Mindlessly, he waved us inside. Doing my trick a few more times as we walked through the club, we were seated at a V.I.P. booth in the back where the music wasn't so God awful loud.Okay, go find your little friends, I told Velvette and the fedora boy. If anyone gives you any trouble, bring them back here and I'll take care of it.The two waltzed off and left me and Val to our own devices.A server approached us with a notepad, giving us some snobbish side-eye.Young lady, I grinned wickedly, getting her full attention and giving her a dose of my hypnotic power. We're supposed to be here. It's okay that we're Sinners, there's no need to be worried.In a trance, the server shortly started blinking out of the hypnosis, Oh! Sorry, what was that, sir?Whiskey, neat, I told her. Looking toward Val, I smiled, Dear?A.M.F., he replied.
And a large appetizer sampler platter, bring extra dipping sauces. We're hungry.
She didn't write anything down, but with a genuine smile, she jaunted off through the crowded club to put our order in at the bar.Remember not to hurt anyone in here, I told Val.Vox, I'm not stupid, Val snipped.
You are fucking grumpy tonight. Too much activity for one evening?
He shrugged, No.
Then stop. Fuck's sake.

Let's go fuck in the bathroom.
I reached over and ran a gentle claw along his jawline, No– We'll fuck at home, hmm? If I'm not too drunk and tired.Fine– he sulked and glanced around.
You aren't fucking ANYONE in the bathroom or out in the limo, so stop looking for someone.

I hate you.
I rolled my eyes and adjusted my tie, Uh-huh, sure you do, darling.Our food and drinks were delivered fairly quickly and we spent hours getting drunk.What's this one called again? I asked Val as he shoved a layered drink in front of me.Sex With an Alligator, he laughed lightly.
Classy.
Drink it, Papi, He held up his phone, I want to record your reaction– And action.Fuck me– I breathed and started sucking at the straw. Pulling away, I gave Val a look, I'm conflicted.
About which part?

You said it's Jäger, melon, raspberry?

Yeah.
I don't mind Jäger, but I dunno. I like the raspberry. Could probably skip the melon, but that's what's gator-green, right? It's weird but... I took another drink, It's good.Showing me the video and the expression I first made, we both got a kick out of it.Last call rolled around and Velvette appeared after being with her friends all night, her eyebrows drifting up into her hairline. Oh my God– she breathed at the state of us. Time to go home.Standing upright and linking arms with Val, I somehow managed to get my drunk ass out to the car without falling.I slept on the way home and woke up in some sort of fiery, passion-laced mood. Val and I got upstairs and into the penthouse, a trail of our clothes led from our kicked-shut bedroom door to the bed. Slipping ourselves under the covers, our hot naked bodies against each other, as pure passion overtook every part of me.Ahh, Vox– Val breathed.Sucking and licking at a hardened nipple, I had him clawing at the sheets. Mmm, I hummed against him.
Ahh!! Vox!
Leaving his nipple, I kissed a hot, sloppy trail down to his base where I licked at the length of his throbbing shaft. Precum poured from his tip as I took him fully in my mouth. Sliding, sucking, my mind drifting into a realm of pure natural ecstasy while I listened to his deep moans of pleasure. Sliding him in my mouth, I kept running my thumb against his taint to his balls and relished in the heat pouring off his skin.He slung an arm across his eyes to hide his expression, Ahhh, FUCK!! VOX!!Without warning, Val's sweet, hot cum shot down my throat. Taking it all in, I swallowed and sat back, running a gentle claw against his stomach. Hmm? Worth waiting until we got home?Yes, Val breathed.Good boy, I grinned wickedly.

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----

Sauntering inside Val's studio, I found Val going full ballistic on some random worker. My love caught sight of me and immediately simmered down a few notches. Mood shifting, Val laughed in an arrogant sort of way and glared down at his employee. The little guy looked like he was going to piss himself.

Angel was standing there watching Val.

Here, I told Angel and gave him a gift bag with a sealed box inside. The box contained my upcoming merchandise drop, the latest cellphone model.

Thank you, Daddy, Angel smiled sweetly and looked over the box.

You're welcome.

Angel took the phone to his dressing room and Val was ready to start filming when the star returned.

How long are you working Angel today? I asked Val.

He can leave when we finish this scene, Val grumbled. But I have other shoots going on, so don't expect me anytime soon.

Val, you set your own schedule, don't get mad at me if you've overextended yourself. I exchanged a look with Angel and nodded toward the set for the star to get busy.

Alright, Val grumped but managed to give Angel a smile. Okay, Angel, do your thing, baby.

Approaching Val and giving him a gift bag with a phone, I took his hand in mine and kissed it, Val, call if you need me, hmm?

Leaving them to work, I took my last gift bag and made my way down to Velvette's studio.

Working, she was in the zone, sketching out some ideas for a new line.

Dear, I greeted her quietly and set the bag above her pencils. New phone.

Oh– Velv mumbled. Thanks, Vox.

Have you eaten?

Yeah, I'm fine, she said dismissively.

Walking myself out, I left Velvette to it and went downstairs to my apartment. I was expecting a layer of dust on everything since I rarely visit my own place, but I guess between the filtration system and the cleaners, the job was getting done.

I opened my fridge and nothing was inside except for a few lonely water bottles. Taking a water in hopes of making a cup of coffee with it, I went to the cupboard and found that my cupboards were bare. Hmm, I
hummed to myself. Sending a text to my assistant to go to the cafe in the lobby and bring down a black coffee, I furrowed my eyebrows when he didn't respond and the message stayed unread.

A sudden series of sharp knocks at my apartment doors startled me.

Striding over, I looked at the camera feed and saw Lucifer standing out there. Fuck me– I opened the door and stared down at my king.

Prodding me with the apple of his cane, Lucifer grinned wickedly, Hello, young man.

Oh, God– I breathed. What did I do wrong now?

The king gave me a few additional prods for good measure, Nothing at all. I was bored.

I rolled my shoulders, How did you know I was down here?

Lucifer shrugged, Just did.

Would you like to come inside?

Yes, please, he said and bounced on the balls of his expensive heels, waiting for me to move.

Sidestepping over, I let Lucifer inside my vast apartment, Welcome.

He entered the room and walked until the full expanse of my shark tank walls came into view, Wow, nice place. It certainly has that villain atmosphere about it.

Huh? I frowned and joined him to watch my sharks swimming. Villain? Sir, who doesn't like sharks? I held out my arms toward my beautiful beasts, God, they're beautiful.

That's fine. You don't have to explain yourself.

At that, electric anxiety prickled across my body.

Voxxy, would you calm down? he smiled, arching a sharp eyebrow my way. I can feel when you go into panic mode like that– Got anything to eat in here?

I grabbed the back of my neck, No, no food. I'm usually upstairs in the penthouse with Val, so I don't keep anything stocked in my apartment.

With a snap of his fingers, Lucifer laid down an appealing spread across the island, Eat.

Frowning dramatically, I grabbed a plate and piled it with food.

Good boy, the king praised me.

Want a new phone? I asked and poured myself some whiskey that he'd provided. I can get you the latest model before you leave. It's releasing to the public next week.

Who would turn that down?

So, was the money raised at the gala enough for your next endeavor?

Yes, Lucifer said and took a long draught from his crystal tumbler, ice clinking as he set his glass down. We're getting by with Wrath's current production, but we need to upgrade their irrigation systems.
Can't let my people starve because Wrath's pipes are corroding under generational ranches. We're taking care of it and the project won't impact the residents financially or anything like that.

That sounds like a plan.

While I've been indisposed, several ringleaders have been a bit lax with their infrastructure upkeep.

Oh...

But Daddy's back in the game, hmm? We're going to get things squared away ring by ring.

Yeah.

Lucifer grinned wickedly and hooked his cane's apple topper under my chin, Yes, Daddy?

My face went lava hot at the forced eye contact. Yes, Daddy, I rasped.

He released me, That's a good boy.

If I– I hesitated. If I can be of any assistance, let me know.

I'll do that, but I know you're a busy fella, so I'll try to call only if there's a crisis.

Eating and feeling better after getting some sustenance inside me, I watched Lucifer send the leftovers and dishes back to where he'd conjured them from. Shall we go to the lobby? he suggested. I enjoyed
your cafe's tea last time.

Alright, I replied and glanced at my phone. I sent my assistant a text earlier but he never read the message.

Oh? Unusual for him?

Very– I frowned.

Lucifer put up a portal and we stepped through to land in the lobby.

Entering the cafe, I went to the counter's side to bypass the line and gave a helpful barista our order. I rang my assistant while we waited for the drinks. The call went through but it dropped immediately after connecting. Umm– Hmm, I hummed and stared at my screen. Taking our drinks from the barista, I led the way to the elevator, taking Lucifer down to my command center. I made Lucifer hold my coffee and we entered to grab a cellphone from my personal pile I had stacked by the elevator doors, Would you like one for your daughter too? How many do you want? I already gave Angel one.

Lucifer finished his tea and disappeared the empty cup, Oh, three would be great. Thank you, Voxxy. The king returned my coffee as I traded phones for my cup. Well, should we find your guy? he asked and slapped a hand to my back, almost making me spill my drink.

If he's in the building, it'll be easy enough. Walking down my control center catwalk, I got into my system and opened my security software. I directed the program to find my assistant through facial recognition. Going through the building, it took a few minutes until the system pinged on him. Fucking damnit– I rasped toward my wall of screens. The screens showed my assistant's situation at every angle.

Heh– Lucifer laughed dryly. Not where you expected him?

I sighed and pinched at my non-existent nose, Yeah, no.

Well, since I just popped in for a visit, I'll leave you to your business, Lucifer grinned wickedly while balancing his sealed cell phone boxes in one hand. Opening a portal to some place of his, the king stepped through and gave me an eyebrow wag as it closed.

Fuck me– I sighed some more toward my screens. Morphing into my electric form, I exited through the building's electrical system for Val's studio. Through a security cam, I landed right inside by the
studio doors and looked toward the film set. Valentino, darling, I called smoothly, not finding my assistant in the room now that I'd arrived.

Val, sitting in his chair, didn't respond and irritably wagged one of his crossed legs.

The scene Val had setup was darker with neon blue lighting and black lights beaming down to make certain things glow. Behind the bed was a framed, wall-sized, moving liquid-sand art piece. Slowly flowing down, the grains of sand were striking as they made a landscape of sandy mountains, peaks and valleys, behind the glass. The sand, in shades of white, was glowing with the black lights.

This has to be shot in one go! Val barked, ignoring me. We can't piece it together with the sand levels changing between each shot. Well, we could, but I want it to look natural in the backdrop.

Suddenly, my assistant appeared next to Val, looking down at his phone and avoiding eye contact with me.

Hey, why didn't you answer when I called? I snipped at him.

Voxxy, baby, quit spazzing. Your assistant was just helping me out. He ordered the sand frame for me. It's because of him that my set looks so good.

Oh, well, I only saw him on the bed before I came in here, I grumped.

Your assistant was on the bed making sure the frame was level while the boys were hanging it– Watching my studio? Keeping a good eye on me, Papi Chulo? Val asked me, his mood shifting as he spoke. I see what you mean, Assistant Boy, when it comes to you, he's fucking over protective.

Uncontrolled electricity crackled around my head and they both leaned away from me. Taking a breath and calming down, I checked the time on my watch, Young man, work's over for you, go home.

My assistant balked, Yes, sir. Striding away, he exited the studio.

Was he talking shit about me? I asked Val.

Not really, Val laughed lightly. And I'm the one that hung up on you. We were busy when you called and I picked up his phone.

So, I should be angry at you instead?

Not if you're going to beat my ass.

No, I said and sat down in the chair next to Val. I'm too tired to beat your ass– I deadpanned, kinda-sorta joking. Is this set for Angel? I thought he was done for today.

No, he left. It's for that stud over there, Val said and waved a lazy hand toward a very good looking fella standing on the sidelines.

Getting things rolling and filming two short scenes that transitioned one into the other from the bedroom to a beach scene, the first half came off as an artsy, campy, B-movie romance until the graphic sex at the end. The wild love making took place on a set with white sand mounds against a green screen.

Checking his computer and watching the shots and the angles he'd gotten, Val was beyond ecstatic.

Taking a look with him, I arched an eyebrow, Are you sure it's not too dark?

Vox, I'm about to chuck you out the fucking window! Val countered.

I grinned wickedly and electricity momentarily crackled around me, Try it, see what happens.

No, my love irritably backed down. And I have a filter I'm going to put on the video during editing– Look at this cumshot. Oh my God. Nice–

Yes, lovely.

Ugh– Val breathed at me. Waving a hand at his cast and crew, he locked eyes with some of them, I got what I needed. Get everything cleaned up for the night and leave.

Travis appeared, taking over the computer that Val was using.

I returned to my chair and watched everyone doing their jobs. One of the stars waltzed over seductively and grinded up on my leg only to get yelled at by Val. I arched a sharp eyebrow at the star and grinned, running a lightly tingling static claw along the naked twink's jawline.

Val took some aggressive steps toward us.

Catching Val's expression, fear washed over the star's face and he immediately jaunted away to the room's opposite side.

Lolling my head around toward Val, we exchanged an electric glance.

Val, grumbling under his breath, went back to work.

Waiting hours for Val to finish, I eventually found ourselves alone in the studio while he was making small edits to the short campy rom-beach porn after sending Travis away.

Get over here and watch this, Val chirped.

Hauling myself up from my chair, I sidled up to Val as he pressed play. Was the moving sand frame worth the cost? I asked. It's only in the video for a minute. I continued watching. The close-up of Stud Guy's face right next to the sand looks nice; pining longingly for the beaches he once knew, the ocean's rolling tides– I stared at Stud Guy, He's a good looking fella, right?

Just watch the video without talking. Oh my God, Vox.

I'm praising your work.

Val gave me a flat look.

Rolling my eyes, I walked over to the set and stood on the bed to get close with the moving sand frame. I threw a dramatic hand across my eyes and improvised some lines, Ohh, how I miss the beaches I once knew; the sand, the rolling tides, the breeze through my hair... I moved my hand slightly to side-eye Val.

Salesman, I want a full refund on this video I'm watching, my love quipped toward me. Zero stars.

All sales are final. Review system disabled– I drawled and went back to my fake acting. Ohhh, Valentino, if only I could visit my beaches, one–last–time, then I can live in Hell untroubled.

Standing up and catwalking toward me, Val grinned wickedly, You know, Papi, I can take you to your beloved beaches. Close your eyes. He wrapped his arms around me as I obeyed, Can you feel the sand
beneath us, Papi. The ocean winds? Can you see the pink and orange glazed sunset? The light blue skies above us, they're fading into a deep navy with glittering stars brushed across the heavens. Waves crashing along the shore.

Heh– I almost feel like I'm there, Tino, I replied honestly.

Bloodthirsty megalodons swimming within view, he cackled, trying to make fun of me.

Twisting into his embrace, our tongues met in a heated moment of passion. Mmm, I hummed against Val and moved down to bite at his neck. Getting Val on the bed, I pinned him down and used one hand to unbutton his shirt. I started kissing a trail from his neck down to a hardened nipple, licking and sucking at him.

Fuck, Vox, Val rasped.

Lightly biting at my love and moving things along, I got his pants undone and his hard cock out. I licked at the length of him, my tongue lightly tingling with static. Pulling back and giving his hip a love pat, I grinned.

He breathed heavily as I gave him another sloppy, tingling lick.

Retrieving a condom and ripping open the wrapper, I let my engorged cock loose and slipped on the condom. I grabbed my love by the hips and our eyes locked, Hmm?

Val's face was bright red as he turned around, fully submitting to me.

Slicking us up and easing my hard cock inside him, we smoothly became one. I got into our usual rhythm, fucking him hard as heat rolled off my love's beautiful skin. I love you– I breathed.

Love you too, Voxxy, Val managed as I continued to thrust into him, his claws digging into the sheets. Ahh– Vox... I'm close.

With his wings to the side, I paused and leaned forward to give Val's exposed back a wet, tingling lick. His moans of pleasure left my head in a fog as I finished and pulled away. Taking a moment to tidy myself, I had
him turn around. I enveloped my tongue around Val's cock, letting it slide around with a light static electricity.

Val slung an arm across his face, at his limit, his sweet cum shooting down my throat.

I hummed against his cock causing him to claw wildly at the bedding. Kissing his tip on my way out, I moved to give Val some kisses from his base and up along his happy trail to his stomach. Watching him breathe erratically, our eyes locked before I stood upright. I gave his stomach a pat, Finish editing your video upstairs, let's lounge around tonight.

Grinning wickedly and getting his pants situated, Val held out some hands and I hauled him out of bed. Okay, Voxxy, he breathed. Let's do that.

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----

You're taking the servers down at midnight?! Val snapped my way.Midnight until three in the morning, so it's only three hours, I replied. Straightening my gold-and-black paisley tie, I was sporting a black split-tailed suit with gold accents. C'mere, I'll put your necklace on.
I don't need help.
Whatever– I snipped, arching an eyebrow his way while I adjusted my watch. I've warned you about the server downtime, didn't you listen?Val's hackles went up, Yes, I fucking listened.
Oh my God, stop. Servers will be back up in no time and everyone will be downloading porn at neck break speeds. Speeds possible thanks to Lucifer.
Breaking the clasp on his very expensive necklace, he chucked it across the room.Go pick that up, I grumbled.Val glared at me and his hackles shot up.I told you to do something, I said calmly. Now, Valentino.Pissed, he pursed his lips and stood there defiantly.
If I have to go pick up that necklace, God help you.

Eres un cabrón.

Uh-huh, right. Do as you're told.

I hate you.

Do we need to have a sit-down before dinner?

You're not going to spank me.

I will if you don't get over there and pick up that necklace.
Having an internal struggle, he decided to stand there instead of obeying me.Oh? I breathed, exasperated. Moving to grab his hairbrush from the nightstand, I sat on the mattress edge. I eyed my love and motioned for him to come closer, but he walked off instead, retrieving his necklace from the floor. Too late, I informed Val when he set the necklace on his nightstand. When I tell you to do something, do it.Val's face went a bright shade of red. I picked it up, he grumbled.
Come here.

No.
I laughed lightly, It's time for a chat with Daddy.Irritably clicking his tongue, Val, in a state of undress, absconded from the bedroom.Moments later and Velvette bouldered into the room alone, snatched the brush from my hand, straightened my tie, and pinched at my chin, Do not take your stress out on him.I rolled my eyes, hard, and moved her hand away from my chin, Velv, I'm not and don't interfere.
Whatever, but it's time to leave.
I'm aware, but I'm taking care of Val first, I said and grabbed the brush back from her. Val! Come here!Walking in, Val stood near the doorframe and gave his arms a grumpy fold.Shooting Val with a tinge of her demonic power, she had him all done up and ready to leave.My love frowned dramatically.Velv, give us a few moments alone, dear, I grumped, thumbing at the brush's hard wooden back. Val, you aren't getting out of this one. Flicking a tiny jolt of electricity toward Val, it steered him my way but purposely missed. When he was close enough, I grabbed his wrist and he silently attempted to pry off my fingers without accomplishing much. Continuing to resist, Val ended up on his ass, laying himself down on the floor as he tried to pull away from me. Are you done? I asked, raising some eyebrows down at him.Velvette gave her arms a fold and tapped a heel impatiently against the hard flooring, Can't you reel him in later?No, I said. Letting loose a tiny jolt that missed him, I got Val to his feet in one smooth motion and hauled him over my left knee. The bed was holding most of his weight while I pinned him in place.Royally pissed, Val slammed a fist into the bedding and buried his face into the duvet.Be a good boy and take your spanking well, I strongly suggested. Slipping up his skirt, his little g-string wasn't going to offer him any protection. I pulled at an ass cheek and touched a light static claw to his exposed pucker.He jumped wildly at the sensation and clawed at the bedding.You know to obey, I said and let go of his cheek. Yes, sir?Fuck you, Val breathed.I set the brush behind me and gave his bottom a meaty slap with my hand, Let's give Daddy a proper answer, hmm?Ughh– Vox, Val rasped into the blankets.
Be my good boy or it'll be a belting instead.
Hesitating, he drew in a ragged breath.Having a bad day? I asked gently.
Yes, because you're being an asshole.
I gave his bottom a loving rub and brought up my hand, I'm not being an asshole, Tino. Starting his spanking and landing a series of heavy handed slaps to either of Val's vulnerable cheeks, I had him sucking in sharp breaths as he dealt with the pain. Warming him up, Val's bottom had taken on a painful glow when I paused. I grabbed the brush and rubbed the cool wooden-back against his heated cheeks, I'm not happy with your behavior.
Poor you.
Bringing up the implement and giving him a solid white-fire brush stroke, his skin rippled from the force. Pulling the brush away, it had left a vivid red mark against the hand-spanked pink. Val's entire body tensed up, but he didn't want to vocalize with Velvette standing there watching. I landed a matching CRACK to Val's opposite cheek.He grabbed at his head with some hands and writhed around in silence.Tossing the brush on the bed, I gave Val's spank marks a gentle rub with my hand. If you give me attitude while we're out, you'll get another dose later.Val let out a shaky breath.I put my love's skirt back in place and gave his thigh a pat.Velvette gave me an irritated side-eye before helping Val stand upright.Tino, look at me, I grumped and waited for some eye contact. You will behave. Throwing VERY expensive items across the room and not picking them up when I ask is not behaving. And when I tell you to come here, you do it.Out of my wingspan, he held his spanked ass cheeks in place, Fucking, alright, Vox.I wagged a finger in his direction, Answer me properly or I swear to God–I'm fucking sorry, alright?! Val replied, his voice breaking slightly.Standing up abruptly, I was done but my quick movements made Val shrink back. Velv grabbed Val's arm and hauled him away from me and out of the room. I straightened my suit in the mirror and followed after them.Leaving the tower and having a business dinner with an outside entity for one of Velvette's ventures, I was glad when we were finished and heading home. Val was still seething and not speaking with me, but I really wasn't in the mood, so his silent treatment was probably for the best.Arriving at the tower, Val and Velv automatically followed me into the building. We went through and entered the business administration offices, and inside, my assistant made a beeline straight for me.Sir?! my assistant yelped. It's almost time!There's an hour to go before the servers shut down, I grumped. Walking around and going down a floor to my tech operations and data farm, I found my crack team working on the server project in their state-of-the-art hub. I planted my hands on my hips, Okay, all, I'll monitor the situation from downstairs. Let's roll this out smoothly.Your code is ready for you to deploy after backup, the team leader informed me, turning around in her chair. See ya on the flip side, Boss.I gave her a wicked grin, Good work, team. Grabbing my assistant, I told him to keep an eye on things up here.Val, Velv, and I exited the hub and stood alone in front of the elevators.Moving toward Val, I grabbed him by the chin, I love you.Love you– Val grumped.I released Val and waved a dismissive hand toward him and Velvette, You two can go upstairs. I'll see you in the morning.Val furrowed his eyebrows, We're not going down to your command center with you?I'm going to bed, Vel announced and stepped inside the opening elevator alone. You boys get along. The doors closed and we watched the lights as it took her all the way upstairs to the penthouse.Val pressed the elevator's down button and we stepped inside together. The doors closed and he pressed another button to get us going downstairs
– I'm sorry, Voxxy, Val said as we exited onto my catwalk.How about we behave? I replied and took his hand in mine, giving him a gentleman's kiss. Grabbing him by an arm, I turned him around and lifted up his skirt to get a look at the damage. The hand-spanked pink was fading, but the two brush marks were bright and bruise-tinged around the edges. I'd gotten him good. Hmm? Tell-tale signs of a naughty boy? I said and put his skirt back in place.He turned his head toward me and smiled cutely.I gave him a flat look, Be my good boy.
Yes, Papi–

You were being ridiculous earlier.
I didn't want an ass beating, he snipped, his mood shifting again.
That's the idea, right?
Irritated, he narrowed his eyes.Mmhmm, I hummed, arching a sharp eyebrow his way. Are you itching for a belting or something? Need the obstinance whipped out of you?Val, not liking the sound of that, frowned and his shoulders slumped submissively, No, Papi.Dropping reprimanding Val and leading him across my command center's catwalk, I sat myself in my chair.Val settled in on one of my knees and wrapped some arms around me, focusing expectantly on my screens.I got things running and put up the feed of my tech guys in their hub. The team leader waved toward the camera. Punk. Even though it was a one-way feed, she always knew when I was watching her.Your gamer girl should work for me, film in a few videos, Val grinned wickedly. She'd be a popular draw.Uh-huh, no, I replied dismissively. Throwing open the code over various screens for Val to gander at, I waved a showcasing hand toward it, Lucifer's gift.Yeahhh, wowww– Val breathed unimpressed and took out his cigarette holder. Couldn't your team have handled this process without you?Lighting Val's cigarette, my eyebrows drifted up into my non-existent hairline, Are you joking?Uh-huh, I'm hilarious, right? he said facetiously. No, but it seems like your gamer girl could've handled this. Taking a long drag of his cigarette, he blew out a stream of red smoke toward the ceiling. You and I could be upstairs right now, fucking.I wouldn't leave this project with anyone, I grinned. Standing up to let Val sit in my chair, I was busy keeping an eye on various screens while Val played on his phone.Val flicked at his cigarette holder, the end smoldering, while some smokey red hearts drifted toward me.Working on some things, watching my tech team, and waiting impatiently; my skin prickled with raw anxiety as my team leader took everything down at midnight.Hey!! Val bitched loudly when the website he was scrolling through went down for server maintenance.I glanced at his cell and gave him a wide-eyed look, Darling, that's a site on our servers.Oh– he breathed. Yeah, I knew that– You should run that site better. It's overrun with trolls.
I don't personally run that site.
Trying to browse something else, Val kept running into server maintenance messages. He clicked his tongue and glared at me, Voxxy, you shouldn't run half the Internet. No wonder you're so tired all the time. No wonder you don't spend any time with me.I don't run half of Hell's internet, I laughed lightly. I'm with you as much as possible, my dear. Glancing at a nearby screen, my team leader was giving me the signal. I gave Val an eyebrow wag as I pressed a series of keys without looking and then hit enter.Getting the code in place, everything went off without a hitch, and after awhile, my team leader gave me a thumbs up through the camera feed when final testing was complete.Okay– I sighed when the servers were rebooted and went live. Your websites are up-and-running, I told Val. I tossed up Val's main site on my biggest screen and signed into my admin account. Scrolling past Angel's prominently featured section on Val's website, I found some generic video with generic pornstars and got it playing to test the download speed.Val clicked his tongue at me, You could've picked something better than this one.
Darling, with someone as beautiful as you in my life, I don't give a rat's ass about which video is best.
Embarrassed by the compliment, my love's face went bright red.I typed lick into the search and clicked enter, Remember how the search function was lagging? Thanks to Lucifer's code and server upgrades, results are instant now.That's good, Voxxy, he whispered seductively.Fronting Val, I took his hand in mine and kissed it.

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----

After work and laying on the couch with Val lounging on top of me, we were destressing. The weight of his body had some sort of calming effect on my soul. I rhythmically ran a smooth thumb between Val's closed eyes while watching his breathing.Without warning, Velvette entered the penthouse and was yelling into her phone. I exchanged a look with Val as Velv kaiju-stomped around the apartment. We jumped when she snapped her bedroom door shut. Almost immediately, Velv stormed back out, apparently finished yelling on the phone, and stood in front of me. She angrily planted her hands on her hips and glared daggers my way.Good afternoon, girly, I greeted her. What's, err– What's the matter, hmm?Stamping a heel, she wasn't crying but looked close to it.I smacked at Val, he instantly sat up and let me free. Getting to my feet, I took her hand in mine, Velvette?My deal fell through! Velv snapped and yanked her hand away from me.Oh– I breathed, feeling better that her fit wasn't regarding a love interest or something else that I had no interest in hearing about. Well, that's okay. You'll find another supplier.She shot a deadly side-eye my way and turned her back toward me, Fix it.
What?
She turned around and stood on the toes of her heels, attempting to get in my face, I needed that specific leather for the specific line I'm producing. Fix it.My eyebrows drifted upward, Darling, I told you not to work with a supplier in Envy. It's not like I can jaunt down there and speak with someone in person.
I worked too hard for this to unravel at my fucking feet. Fix– it–
For fuck's sake... I closed my eyes and pinched at my non-existent nose, Okay, okay, I'll help. Let me call the owner. Message me the details.Val clicked his tongue at me but didn't say anything.Leaving a now perturbed Val to relax on his own, I exited the apartment to deal with Velv's supplier issue. I got my assistant on the phone before he left for the night and made my way downstairs. Telling him to meet me in my basement command center, I found the young man standing anxiously just inside the landing.Sir? my assistant rasped.Good boy, I grinned wickedly and gripped at his shoulder. I ran a light static claw along his jawline, Hmm? I like it when you respond immediately.He swallowed hard.Suddenly turning my assistant around, I knocked the anxious young man forward to get him walking.Arriving at my chair, he turned and looked at me.On my largest screen, I tossed up the message Velv had just sent. Get to work, I grumped, my mood shifting.Moving uneasily, my assistant sat in my chair and shortly got in direct touch with the supplier's secretary. The secretary put us on hold, transferring our call to her boss.My assistant maneuvered around to stand next to me as I planted myself in my chair.Stand there and look pretty, I told him.Frowning, his face had taken on a deep shade of embarrassed.I lit a cigarette and waited impatiently, staring at the fabric company logo on the hold screen.The owner, an Envy Hellborn, answered the video call abrasively. Immediately having a back-and-forth with the seahorse-looking demon over several minutes, he finally sneered, Mr. Vox, like I explained to your daughter, or whatever she is to you, that material was purchased by another designer. I refused the deal with Miss Velvette in lieu of a local sale.Yeah, a Hellborn designer? I grumbled. Velvette designed her line around that specific leather from your stock. Has the material been collected by the other party yet?
No, the client is picking it up next week.

I'll pay you double for the material, and I'll have someone collect it today.

Well... No.
What do you mean 'no'? I snipped, digging my claws into my assistant's arm.My assistant sucked in a sharp breath at the pain.The Envy demon grinned wickedly, It's business, friend, and I have more to gain by not doing business with someone like you.
What's that supposed to mean?

I prefer dealing with residents of Envy.
Stamping out my cigarette in the nearby ashtray, I gave the Hellborn a sharp look, Bigot.
Yes, and?
I ended the call abruptly and locked eyes with my assistant. Fucking infuriated, electricity momentarily crackled around me.My assistant frowned and leaned sideways, shifting his eyes to look away from me.Heh– I breathed, calming down slightly. Leaning back, I dug my claws into my chair, I am beyond angry.Breathing hard, a noticeable shiver ran through my assistant's body.Scared? I asked him.N-no, sir, he stammered, lying.I stood up and stuck a light static claw under his chin, forcing some eye contact, Mmhmm.He frowned dramatically.Not wanting to go upstairs, I sat back down and stared at the young man. Hmm? Glancing over toward the elevator, the doors opened and Val stepped out to join us.Velv's, uhh– Val started and pointed upward. She sent me down to check on things, she's pissed! he said loudly, making sure I could hear him.It's not going to work out with that supplier, I told Val. But I have his name, he'll lose access to everything within my power. Grabbing my assistant by the wrist, I pulled until the young man sat on my lap.Val catwalked over and grinned wickedly. Reaching us, he seductively grabbed my assistant by the tie. Whose lap are you sitting on? he asked the young man in a thick accent.Oh God– my assistant breathed.Undoing the young man's tie, Val slipped it off and let it puddle onto the floor. Voxxy belongs to me, so you should get permission to sit on his lap, right?Grinning wickedly, I ran a slick hand through my assistant's hair, Naughty boy, not asking permission. Hmm?My assistant's mood shifted, Permission? Don't you wear the pants in your relationship, Mr. Vox?Val clicked his tongue.Watch it, young man, I smirked, prodding at his chin with a static claw.My assistant anxiously worked the buttons of his shirt.Shedding his outfit, a bare-assed Val sat on my other knee and wrapped some arms around me.Taking my love's hand in mine, I gently kissed at his wrist.Assistant Boy, on my opposite knee, tossed his shirt to the side. His face burning bright with embarrassment, he stared at Val across from him.Papi, why can't he star in a film? Val asked.Because I already said he can't, I replied.My assistant shifted, What if I wanted to?My eyebrows drifted upward, I already said no when you brought it up after the liquid sand frame nonsense. We obey Daddy, don't we?I just– my assistant rasped.
Do you boys need punished for not listening? We've discussed this and I don't like repeating myself.
Val's breathing changed.Hmm? I hummed. Answer me, Tino. I'm getting irritated.He leaned into me, I'll behave, Voxxy.I rubbed at his neck, Good boy.Frowning, my assistant stood up and shed the rest of his clothes.You always look scared to fucking death when you're in the porn studio, what makes you think you could be in a film? I asked.Assistant Boy sat his naked ass back on my knee. Not getting permission to do whatever the fuck he wanted, the young man irritably flicked his tail.Myself fully clothed with my naked love on one knee and a cute bare-assed twink boy on the other, I got some eye contact with Val and wordlessly shifted my eyes toward Assistant Boy.Val obediently slipped off my lap and got down on his knees. Eyeing my assistant with a wicked grin, he bent forward and snaked his long, wet tongue around the twink's hard, thick cock. He had my assistant breathing erratically and gripping at Val's shoulders. Val took the length of Assistant Boy in his mouth, sliding, sucking.Ahh– my assistant breathed. A bead of sweat traced his jawline, eyes glazed over in the heat of things. Val, sir.Mmm, Val hummed against him.The young man's hand flew to my arm, and he gripped at me.Heh– I breathed.I'm close, my assistant rasped. Ah, wait, Val– Reaching his limit as Val had no intention of letting him finish in any other fashion, the young man's hot cum shot down Val's throat.Val swallowed, backed out, and moved over to lay his head on my unoccupied knee.I ran a loving hand over Val's head and he grinned wickedly.My assistant continued gripping at my arm. Taking the young man and pulling him in closer, I gently ran my claws through his hair. Hmm?Catching his breath, my assistant shifted against me, heat pouring off him. Boss?Yes? I replied evenly, running a dangerous claw along his throat.
Call Lucifer. I have an idea on how to get Velvette's leather from that supplier.
Having the boys get dressed and giving Lucifer a ring, I had my assistant speak with the king. The leather, as it turned out, was from an endangered Hell species, Stygian salmon, and fuck if I know about shit like that.Setting things in motion, a livid Lucifer agreed to give the material to Velvette, a reward for us tipping him off over the illegal harvesting of that fish.I had video feed in Envy, watching the supplier's building and keeping tabs on what was happening. I sent my assistant home for the night and had Val go upstairs to let Velv know everything was being handled. Within hours, Lucifer had an Envy law enforcement team storming the supplier's building, and they hauled the owner off in handcuffs.Taking the elevator up to Velvette's studio, Lucifer met me there.The king opened a portal from Envy into our tower. All of it! he barked at the officers. With some of his demonic power, he floated in whole tables stacked with all sorts of fabric while the law enforcement team carried in more rolls. Shortly finished clearing out the criminal's stock and closing the portal to Envy, Lucifer and I were alone and he gave me a look, Make sure Velvette knows not to be looking for more of that salmon leather, but if she comes across anything else, give me a ring.Yes, Daddy– I rasped, saying what Lucifer liked to hear from me.That's my boy, he grinned and gave me some jovial prods with his cane's apple topper.Embarrassed, my face went lava hot.
I need to run, but perhaps you and Valentino are free for dinner tomorrow? Hmm? Velvette too, if she wants.

Yes, sir.

Okay, I'll text you the details– Good work today. Make sure to praise your assistant.

I will.
See you tomorrow evening, he said and adjusted my bowtie before departing in a swirling shroud of black-and-red demonic power.Grinning wickedly and texting Velvette to get down to her studio, I planted my hands on my hips and waited impatiently to show her Lucifer's latest gift.Waltzing in, Velv's eyes went wide.I waved a showcasing hand toward all of the high-end fabric that I had secured for her, Per Lucifer, don't look for more endangered animal skin, but if you come across any, we're supposed to let him know. He was angry– Thank Assistant Boy tomorrow, he's the one that spoke with Lucifer.Vox, your assistant has a name, she snipped.
Yeah, so what?
Rolling her eyes, Velv used some of her demonic power to conjure up three different outfits with the salmon leather.Nice, I praised her work.
Well, yeah.
It's late, I said. Work on this tomorrow.Yes, sir, she said snottily and saluted me.Rolling my eyes, I led the way to the elevators.

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----

Filming a week's worth of Vox-2-Nite in one marathon sitting, this particular string of guests were getting on my nerves. Entitled little shits. Catering to the celebrity mixed bag of Sinners and Hellborn, the last band wrapped up their hit song. I jaunted up, shook their members' hands for the camera, and the feed cut as the set lights dimmed.Thank you for having us, Mr. Vox, the band leader said genuinely, his hand still clamped around mine.My pleasure, young man, I replied and took my hand back. Good work today.My assistant strode up and whisked me away, Sir, you could film these throughout the week, so you don't have to work so hard. I could tell you wanted to flip your desk when that last actress wasn't answering your questions.I should cut her section and play ten minutes of static. It'd be more entertaining than what she gave me to work with. I arched a sharp eyebrow his way, And this way is best, recording everything in one day.
You don't need to have so many irons in the fire, sir.
I eyed my assistant, You've gotten so bold lately.Assistant Boy rolled his shoulders.But nonetheless– I breathed, I can't slow down. Nobody is going to slow down for me.The young man gave me a concerned look and opened my dressing room door, following me inside, It's just that, a lot of people depend on you, and if you overdo it, where would that leave us?Young man, knock it off, I grumped.Frowning dramatically, my assistant moved to fill a crystal tumbler with whiskey. He brought it to me and stepped out of my wingspan.I took a drink and nodded toward the door, It's late, go home.Yes, sir, he replied, obediently doing as directed.Alone, I lit a cigarette and sent Val a text, asking if he was up in the apartment.Aren't you fucking done yet?! Val shot back.I took off my bowtie and undid the top buttons of my shirt, Yes, I'm done.

Where are you?

My dressing room. I'll be up in a few minutes.

Who's on tomorrow?

The actor starring in that Wisteria Lust movie.

Mmm.

Putting out my cigarette and downing the remainder of my whiskey, I morphed into my electric form and entered into the building's electrical system. I landed in the penthouse living room in front of Val.Val was sprawled out on the couch, ass up, using some hands to keep his head slightly propped. You work too much, he grumbled. You're going to have a mental fucking breakdown.Sorry, I whispered. Hey, tomorrow is Monday, how about we do fuck-all.Seductively wagging his eyebrows, Val sat up slightly to let me sit down, then laid his head on my lap. Real Demonwives Lust is starting.Lord– I breathed and grabbed the clicker, finding his show. Are you trying to kill me?Val irritably clicked his tongue, I also work a lot, and sometimes I just want to watch this particular show and unwind.Yes, sir, I drawled.
Don't you sir me.
Watch your damn show. Standing up, I bent down to kiss his crown and grabbed a throw pillow for his head, Want me to make you coffee? I need coffee.He nestled in, Yes.I ran a loving claw along his jawline, Okay, Tino.He gave me a sweet smile before using some hands to roughly push me out of his TV line of sight.
★★★
Taking Monday off and early on Tuesday making my way down to my command center, I didn't feel like doing shit. A day off didn't help me any, it just made me more exhausted. Ughh.My assistant called, in a panic, and informed me of a slew of burning fires that needed pissed out.I rolled my eyes and sat back in my command center chair, Okay, first, I don't care if two celebrities are feuding online because one of them was talking shit on my show.What about the servers going down this morning? Assistant Boy asked.I'll go up and see for myself, I said and hung up on him as he started in about a third issue.Leaving my command center and going upstairs, I found my tech team's leader sitting back in her chair as everyone and everything around her was in a state of chaos.Dear, what the FUCK is going on? I snipped.I was about to message you, she replied evenly and pointed toward the temperatures displayed on a screen beside her. We're overheating, but I've got it handled. We've got cooling units going on the offending servers. Everything is back up and running, and I'm having another air conditioning unit installed. The central air isn't doing the job for the room size– Sign this work order.Yes, miss, I grumped and took the clipboard from her, scribbling out my signature.Flicking her tail and looking me up and down, she leaned back in her chair, You okay, Boss? You look like warmed over shit.I returned the clipboard, Just keep handling things in here. Message me if you need anything.You got it, Boss, she said.Leaving her to it, I really wasn't feeling good, so I took the elevator up to Val. Entering Val's studio, I went and sat in the chair next to him as they were filming a scene.Val glanced down at me and wagged his eyebrows.The scene wrapped.I'm taking the rest of the week off, I informed my love, not giving him eye contact while sending my assistant a text.Can we go do something? he smiled cutely as our eyes met.
Yeah, figure out your schedule and let me know when you can do three days in a row.
Val ran a loving hand along the side of my face, Okay, Voxxy.
★★★
Standing next to my convertible, my assistant was next to me as I waited for Val. I locked eyes with him and dragged a pointed claw along his throat, Everything better continue running smoothly while I'm gone.Assistant Boy swallowed hard.I arched a sharp eyebrow his way, If there's any technical issues, calmly go to my tech team lead. She'll know what to do– If the department heads give you any lip, or start slacking, document everything and Daddy will take care of things when he gets home, I said, adjusting my assistant's tie and suit jacket collar. Hmm?Yes, sir– my assistant rasped.
Be a good boy and don't call me.
He shifted anxiously, Yes, sir.I ran some claws through his hair, I'll call and check in, but you'll be okay.
I know, sir. You don't need to worry.

I'm not worried.

Sir...
Shhh– I shushed him and traced his jawline with my claw. I'm not worried.Valentino appeared next to me in a designer button up shirt and white pants, hanging on my body, Let's go, Vox. Assistant Boy knows how to handle everything. And Velvette's here.
Velvette is in charge of her department. Assistant Boy and Lead Tech Girl are running the rest.

Darling, whatever floats your fucking boat, but let's go.
Yes, dear– I breathed and opened our convertible's passenger door for Val, shutting it when he was seated. Pointing a warning finger at my assistant, I walked around to the driver's side and got in my seat.Goodbye, sir, Assistant Boy said and walked away to enter the tower.Mi amor, don't worry, Val said in a thick accent and held out his cigarette holder. Your guys have it handled, yes?I lit his cigarette and gave him a smile, Okay, Tino, I'll try to relax.Leaving the tower and driving out of Pentagram City, we made our way down to the furthest reaches of the Pride Ring.Finally– Valentino breathed, reclining in the passenger seat and dramatically flittering his fingers. Civilization. Let's check out a few of these shops before we leave.Of course, I agreed, glancing over the town as we drove through.We reached our destination, a limited capacity luxury inn and spa away from everything and everyone.The chipper gal running things escorted us to one of three large suites, gave us a menu for meals and spa options, and our room key. A young man carried our bags as an Ars Goetia couple that were staying in the room opposite of us exited their suite. The demons seemed surprised by our presence, but the husband greeted us with a friendly nod. We got inside our room, the gal running the inn had already jaunted off, but I tipped the bellhop before he departed.Alone with my love, I wagged my eyebrows in his direction.Val was already half naked and waltzing around. He opened the doors to our natural spring terrace, exiting and turning on the water to fill our large private hot spring bath. Mmm, he hummed my way as he got his pants off and flung them onto the outdoor lounge chair.I leaned against the terrace doorframe and watched him, Don't forget that I'm shorter than you while you're filling that.I know, Val smiled, waving me off. He nudged at a wooden bench, You can throw this seat in and plant your ass on it– I want to relax, fuck, and then we can eat.I took in our surroundings. The small garden around the terrace was walled in with stone for privacy. The landscaping seemed wild, yet well maintained and carefully manicured, greens and purples, and sweet scents of colorful flowers drifting in the heat.Taking off his g-string, Val tossed them over toward his pants on the lounge. Beautifully handsome, he bent down, completely naked, and smiled while running some fingers through the cascading spring water.Going over, I ran a smooth hand against Val's upturned ass.Glancing back, he narrowed his eyes and grinned.C'mere, Tino, I drawled.
Let's soak first.
We can make love while the bath fills, hmm? Grabbing Val's wrist, I escorted him to the outdoor chaise lounge.Val positioned himself and arched his back seductively.Taking off my shirt and undoing my pants, I ripped open a condom wrapper and slipped the condom over my throbbing cock. I reached between Val's legs, grabbed him by the balls and pressed a flat hand to his back; forcing him into a better angle.Ughh– Val complained.I gave his bottom some love pats and thumbed at his pucker, Stay.Yes, Voxxy, my love whispered submissively.Getting the lube and slicking us up, I eased my hard cock deep inside him.Ahh– he breathed as we became one.Leaning against Val and licking at his back with a light static tongue, I had him breathing hard and tensing up underneath me. I grabbed at his hips, slowly getting into our usual rhythm. Thrusting and listening to Val's moans of pleasure, I fucked him long and hard in the sweltering outdoor heat. My head slipping into a fog of natural ecstasy until I reached my limit.Withdrawing and having him turn around, I kissed a sloppy, wet trail along his stomach.Vox, Voxxy, my name dripped from Val's tongue. I moved down to lick at the length of his engorged cock. Voxxy– His face red, he flung a hand across his watering eyes.
You're my good boy, hmm?
Yes, Papi– he rasped.Taking his cock in my hand and giving him several expert strokes, I had his sweet, hot cum landing messily on his stomach.Val laid there, breathing heavily.Leaving him to catch his breath, I found my way over to the veranda's outdoor shower, stripped completely, and washed off the sweat and sex.Joining me, Val lightly bit at my neck before washing up himself.We abandoned the shower and waltzed around to slip into the filled hot spring bath. The bath was roomy and blissful, allowing us to fully relax. Years of built-up stress melted off in the heat.Don't fall asleep and drown, Val laughed lightly.I shifted with my eyes closed, my ass planted on the bench in the water, I'll try not to drown.Relaxing for awhile, we got back in our suite and laid in bed naked. Val turned on a Demonwives marathon. Fuck me... I gave Val a look.Shhhhh– he shushed my irritated expression. Quit silently bitching at me with your eyes.Rolling my eyes and dealing with it; after awhile and having never paid attention prior, I could list most of the Envy cast.Val, smoking, blew out a stream of red smoke toward the ceiling, Why isn't there a Demonwives Pride?
Who'd be on it?

Me.
Lord– I sighed, exasperated at the thought of Val on a reality TV show. That'd be a PR nightmare in the wings– We don't produce or sponsor that franchise anyway. Different studio. It's located in Lust, so I wouldn't have control.Yeah, I guess it'd be difficult with a camera on me like that, he said, dejected, my reply probably stinging a little more than I meant it to.I grabbed the menu and we decided what we wanted for dinner. He called it in to the gal running the inn and our chef-prepared food was delivered after a bit. Eating and briefly checking my phone, I found no messages of importance and located reviews for the several swanky restaurants in town. I should try to reserve a table now if you want to go tomorrow night.Val glanced at my phone. Whichever place you want, he replied dismissively while clicking around different TV channels, trying to find something else to watch because I'd upset him over Demonwives.Reserving a table for tomorrow and sleeping hard that night, I stepped outside when I woke up at the crack of fucking dawn and called Assistant Boy. The call was short and my assistant said everything was dandy. Hanging up with Assistant Boy and smoking a cigarette down to the filter, I rejoined Val and slept until noon.Val ordered a couple's massage session after I was awake. A large, aggressive fella tackled the toxic stress knots in my back as Val flirted with the gal giving him some treatment with hot rocks. Hot stones. Whatever. Being tortured by my masseur, I was having to ramp up my patience with Valentino quota as he flirted heavily with the woman working on him.Leaving the inn that evening, we arrived at the restaurant. I was donning a dark designer suit while Val looked stunning in a lovely little number. The rhythmic click of Val's expensive stilettos against the restaurant floor likened to the dominant roar of a lioness queen. God, I love him. I ordered an expensive bottle of champagne, and the waiter filled our flutes, leaving the chilled bottle on our table.Having a euphoric evening with Val and returning to the inn, we smiled at each other while resting in bed. I hadn't felt this good, this relaxed, in a long, long time. Taking his hand in mine, I gently kissed at his wrist as he ran a gentle claw along the side of my face.Love you, Val whispered.I moved in closer, kissing him, Love you too, Tino.

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----

In my electric form, I landed smoothly in Val's film studio. Glancing around at some of Val's top stars, the studio's atmosphere was not great. Through surveillance, I'd only observed the beginning of an on-set altercation between Val and Angel before immediately departing from my basement command center. Several newer loitering actors looked terrified and two others shrugged at me like meh, just another Tuesday. The film crew focused on their work but I received a few sharply arched eyebrows my way. I held out a hand, signalling to them that Daddy was here to handle things.Striding over to Angel's dressing room, the door was locked. I morphed into my electrical form and entered through a studio security cam to land inside Angel's dressing room.Val, shocked by my sudden appearance, took his hands away from Angel. He didn't have his hands on Angel, but he was pushing it. Val moved to the opposite side of the room and put some furniture between us.Vox! Angel yelped, falling off the loveseat. Vox, no! Don't hurt him! He didn't hit me, I swear!I told you to keep your hands off him, Val, I said, ignoring Angel. If you want him to do something, you use your fucking words.He didn't do anything! Angel continued. He was just yelling!I scruffed up Angel and sat him on the loveseat, carefully checking the star for injuries.Vox, it's okay, Angel rasped.Ohhhh, this is far from okay, I snipped. Stop trying to protect Val from me.
It was just some yelling, not like before.
Staring at Angel, my eyes flashed dangerously causing him to shrink back into the loveseat. Holding onto Angel's wrist to prevent the star from absconding, I focused on Val.Val frowned dramatically, watching my movements as I let go of Angel.In any case, you're in trouble, I informed Val.Vox, Angel told you that I didn't do anything, he rasped. I just got angry for a minute, but I'm not now. Holding out some submissive arms, he gave me a pleading look.Unfastening my belt and slipping the leather from my pant loops, the boys both tensed up when my buckle clinked. I motioned for Val to come closer, C'mere.Reluctantly, he took some steps forward but a table was still in his way.I gave the loveseat's arm a punishing crack.Vox, please– Angel rasped.My eyebrows drifted upward and Angel shrank back into the loveseat.Val slowly made his way over and unbuttoned his pants, slipping them down. Hesitating and giving me a look, he bent over the loveseat arm with his wings out of my way. Wearing a g-string, his exposed cheeks were tensing in apprehension of a whipping.Laying a gentle hand against his bottom, I was doing my best to control myself but I was beyond pissed, Apologize to Angel. I pulled at a cheek and gave his pucker a light electric tingle that had my love scrambling to grab a throw pillow.Sorry, Angel! Val breathed heavily into the pillow he'd grabbed.Angel grabbed one of Val's hands and they interlaced their fingers without Val offering any eye contact.Hauling my arm back and giving Val a solid CRACK, a painfully vivid belt mark instantly glowed across his cheeks.Yelping, he tensed his bottom and brought some hands up to hold his head.Val was expecting more but I put my belt back on instead, Because you were a good boy and I didn't have to chase after you, that's all you're getting. You better behave the rest of the day. You two get along, or I swear to God, Val, you'll be going around with a permanent limp. Do you understand me, Valentino?Yes, Vox, Val breathed raggedly into the throw pillow.
Now, if you boys will excuse me, I have an important meeting to attend. Am I allowed to go make us money, Val?

Yes, Voxxy.

Get your britches up and get back to work.

Yes, Papi–
Giving Angel a judgmental look as he continued holding Val's hand, I left them to work. I morphed into my electrical form and entered the electrical system through one of Angel's dressing room cams. Landing in one of my conference rooms, I found it empty. Fucking damnit. Where is that ass-hat lawyer?I called Assistant Boy but the young man found me instead of answering his phone. Well? I questioned.The seller is very... inquisitive, my assistant mumbled. It's a bad idea, sir. He's too much.
Where's our lawyer?

He hasn't shown up, but the seller is waiting in the third conference room.

Go find the lawyer in admin, then yell at him for not being WHERE I say, WHEN I say, and tell him to get his ass in here.

Me?!

And then bring me a black coffee from the lobby cafe.
Yes, sir, my assistant frowned.
You better fucking yell at the lawyer. I'll know if you don't yell at him.
Assistant Boy crinkled his nose at me.I gave his schnoz a press with a gentle claw, Go on, young man. Do as you're told.
Ughh–

Go.
Obediently bowing out, he jaunted away.I waltzed out of conference room one and found a brightly dressed fella waiting in the room down the hall. The luxurious leather and polished chrome of the chair he'd planted his ass in strained at an angle. Brazenly, he threw his booted feet up on the table. I arched a sharp eyebrow his way.Well, I'll be damned. The man in charge decided to grace me with his presence, the shorter and thick-set, coyote-looking Sinner said with a drawling Texas twang and a flick of his rugged tail.I shot him with a wicked grin, Yes, I'm a busy man. Did my assistant give you a rundown of my offer?Yes, sir, he replied, sliding the paper packet across the table. Not interested.Giving him a flash of my hypnotic eye, I was beyond irritated when my move wasn't effective.Sitting there unfazed, the Sinner grinned wickedly.If you didn't come in to sign paperwork, then how can I help you? I asked flatly.
I had a desire to introduce myself.
A larger demon entered the conference room and stood next to the rounded coyote demon.I narrowed my eyes at them, Gentlemen.We were hired to have words with you by a group of interested parties, the coyote demon said. We know about you buying out indebted businesses for pennies on the dollar. No more of that.I gave him a flat grin, Oh? Is that right?Getting to his feet, the coyote demon withdrew a pistol.I knocked it out of his hand with a painful jolt, You done?Oww! he whined and gave me an injured look.Sending out an alert, some of my nearby security personnel rushed into the room. I nodded toward the two visiting demons, indicating the issue. My head of security, a dragon-type, gold-scaled Hellborn, strode across the room and scruffed up the coyote demon, bringing him to front me. Holding the little rounded coyote demon at my eye level, I got a good look at him. Hmm, I hummed. Oh, I see. You sneaky fella. Carefully, I pried each eye open and removed his contacts that were blocking my hypnosis ability. Giving him a full hypnotic dose, I got him completely under my influence, You'll answer all my questions honestly, yes?Yes, the coyote demon replied in a trance.
Where did you get these contact lenses?

They said your mind control couldn't get past them.
I got the larger Sinner under my control at the same time as the coyote, Nothing can get past my mind control, I lied to them. Understand?Nothing can get past Mr. Vox's mind control, they said in unison.
That's right.
Getting the visitors to tell me about some random fella selling contact lenses, I wasn't happy to find out that they were some Hellborn product.I shot the visitors with a strong dose of hypnotic power, You now recognize that I'm helping struggling business owners, and that if I make an offer to buyout a business, that person should take me up on it. Understand?Yes, Mr. Vox, the two Sinners replied together. You're just looking out for us.That's right and NEVER buy those contact lenses again, they're trash, I lied some more.
Yes, Mr. Vox.
As the hypnotized Sinners started breaking out of the trance, I gave my security head a nod, Give them vouchers for free drinks from the lobby cafe and make sure they exit the building after receiving them.Yes, Boss, the head of security said and they all departed from the conference room.My assistant appeared when I was alone, Your coffee, sir. The lawyer quit this morning, a different guy will be here shortly. What happened in here?I think I need something stronger than coffee– I said, showing him the contact lenses.
Contacts?
You mean 'trouble'– I breathed, holding up one of the contacts to examine in the office light. I need to make some calls.
★★★
Having contacted Lucifer, not that I thought he would do anything, I was fairly sure he wouldn't involve himself, but I could whine to him about my troubles. The king opened a portal to whichever residence he was currently occupying. I stepped through and was immediately brought a drink by his attendant. Lucifer subtly acknowledged my presence with a find a place to sit wave of his hand as he was preoccupied with some paperwork.Not leaving me waiting for long, Lucifer wrapped up his work and waltzed over to the loveseat where I'd planted myself. Young man, what's wrong? he asked gently. Tell me.Someone tried to shoot me today, I sighed. Under false pretenses, he scheduled a meeting to accept a buyout offer.The king sat next to me and I laid my head face-down on his lap. He rubbed at my back, his touch had me near tears. It's okay now, Voxxy, he said.
I wasn't actually in danger. I knocked the gun out of his hand.

I would imagine.

The guy was wearing some black market contact lenses that rendered my mind control useless. They're producing them in the Greed Ring.
Oh? Well, that won't be good for your business. Lucifer pulled at me, Come here. Shifting around, the king had me sit on his lap as he wrapped an arm around me. It'll be okay.I bit at my lip and gave him a quick glance, I should be more careful about taking meetings.
Oh?
I'm sorry, Daddy– I rasped.Lucifer grabbed at my chin and forced some eye contact, his mood shifting. You know, your safety should be a top priority, young man, he grumbled.Swallowing hard at the sharp look he was giving me, I shifted, Yes, sir.
So, do you need a reminder to be more careful when taking meetings?
My breathing changed, No, sir.
I think you could use a reminder. Stand up, Vox.
Obediently getting to my feet and fronting him, my skin prickled with electric anxiety.Standing up, Lucifer helped me out of my suit jacket, Boys that aren't careful should be punished by Daddy, hmm?I didn't respond.Answer me, the king snipped. Hooking his thumbs in the seam of my slacks, he jerked me closer to him as he sat back down on the loveseat. He unfastened my belt and slipped my slacks down.Glancing down at my very unhappy cock, I frowned dramatically and my entire body went hot with embarrassment, I'll be more careful, sir.
But you weren't, were you?
No, sir, my voice broke slightly.
No, Daddy?
No, Daddy– I whispered.Grabbing my wrist, Lucifer helped me bend over his lap with my face near the floor and my ass positioned for some punishment. He laid one hand against my vulnerable cheeks and with his other, he rubbed soothing circles across my back. Ready, young man?Burning tears pricked the corner of my eyes, Yes, Daddy.Placing a firm hand flat to my back and bringing his other hand up from my bottom, Lucifer started spanking me. Each fiery slap built on the next and my tears were shortly flowing.I sucked in a sharp breath, Ah-OUCH!Mmhmm, the king hummed. It's okay to cry out. Pausing, he pinched the side of my face and turned my angle slightly to get some eye contact. Getting a look at my expression and the tears pouring down my face, he let go and gave my bottom some gentle pats. Lucifer started my spanking again, and I held the back of my neck to avoid reaching back to attempt saving my ass.AH-OWWwww! I broke, sobbing. DADDY! I'm sorry!Lucifer continued until I was crying incoherently. Okay, all done, the king said gently, rubbing soothing circles into my back. He left me over his lap as I cried myself out. You're my good boy, hmm? You just needed a reminder to keep yourself safe.Taking some time to calm down, the roaring fire hadn't settled down at all. I slumped to my knees and hid my burning eyes against his majesty's lap, holding my beaten ass cheeks with one hand.Lucifer's attendant brought the king a cigarette, lighting it for him, and filled two crystal tumblers of whiskey that she'd set next to us. She left the bottle on the table and departed from the room.That's my good boy, Voxxy, Lucifer praised me.
★★★
Walking around my basement apartment with my ass still on fire, I was irritated that I had zero groceries down here. Clearly aware that Lucifer and I had chatted earlier, I sat on my bed and nearly had to stand back up. Fresh burning tears pricked the corners of my eyes.Ughh– I sighed, laying down and staring at my shark tank walls. My beasts were lingering nearby, watching me.My cell went off and I glanced at the notice without opening the message. Val wanted my attention when I just wanted to wallow alone. Sitting up, I sent him a text that I was on my way upstairs.Adjusting myself in a mirror, I morphed into my electric form and landed in the penthouse living room.I hate you, Val informed me from where he was lounging on the couch.I rolled my eyes, Hate me all you want. I told you to treat Angel with respect.
Whatever.

Did you hear what happened today?

Yeah, someone tried to shoot you, but you were the quicker draw– Also something about contact lenses from Greed.

The contacts protect against my mind control.

I haven't heard about them before, hopefully they won't get popular, right?
Yeah, something– I breathed. What do you want for dinner?Suddenly interrupted by a portal appearing in our living room, Lucifer waltzed through and joined us. Grinning wickedly, his portal closed as he gave my burning ass a prod with his cane's apple topper.I about jumped out of my skin and shifted slightly, trying not to be so reactive.Heh– the king laughed lightly. Sorry for barging into your apartment.You're always welcome, Val replied genuinely and sat up. Shall we dine together? We can have dinner brought up or order in from somewhere.Lucifer gave my ass another couple of prods for good measure. If you'll have me, the king told Val. Also, good news, Voxxy, about those contact lenses. Production has been shut down as of approximately, he checked his watch, ten minutes ago. There were illegal practices going on, no permits, no filings with Sloth's Health Authority, people can't be sticking things in their eyes untested. BUT the most important thing, the factory owner hadn't paid their taxes in decades. Products will be seized and destroyed under my authority. Not that others can't come up with a similar product to thwart you, but, you know, it'll probably take awhile.I swallowed hard.Mmhmm, Lucifer grinned and sat next to Val. Val shifted to put his legs over the king's lap. Thank you, Daddy? Lucifer grumped to correct my silence.My face went lava hot, Thank you, Daddy.What's for dinner? his majesty's mood shifted to something jovial. Let's order burgers!Val was more than okay with that, getting on his phone and ordering food for us. Vox, dear, sit down somewhere. You're making me anxious.Lucifer shot me with the wickedest of grins.Hem– I coughed lightly. Yes, darling, I replied to Val. Sitting myself down in my armchair, electricity momentarily crackled around my body and my face glitched for a second.Arching a suspicious eyebrow my way, Val held out his cigarette for me to light, Voxxy, you feeling alright?Lighting his cigarette, I smiled, I'm feeling great, Tino. Just need dinner is all.

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----

It was morning and I had no motivation to do anything. Nodding at my usual barista girl working the lobby cafe, she stopped what she was doing and brought me a coffee.Thank you, dear, I said and turned around to find Angel in my personal space. I arched an eyebrow his way, Yes?Can we talk? Angel mumbled.Fuck me sideways... I gestured for him to follow me. Val didn't hurt you, did he? I asked, shutting us inside an empty office. Anger welled within me for a moment, electricity crackling around my body, Cause if he did–Angel anxiously grabbed at the back of his neck, No, Vox. He didn't do anything.I'm serious, Angel, I said, calming down slightly. Don't protect him.He shifted in front of me, I'm not lyin'.Well, don't hesitate to call me if he's acting up and I don't appear, I told the star, gently touching at his chin to get some eye contact, then let go. Okay?
It's just, do you gotta beat on him like you do?
It's a belt across his ass. Discipline, I said, giving the star a flat look. It's better for everyone if I keep him in check, and that boy understands a belt, alright?
Yeah, I guess.
Angel– I sighed, becoming exasperated with him. Let me take care of Val.Yeah, okay, Angel sighed and focused on the floor.Retrieving my wallet from my suit jacket pocket, I thumbed out a stack of large bills, I think you could use a pick-me-up. Take the day off, meetup with your little friends for lunch, and go shopping. Get yourself something nice and have a good time. If there's money leftover, keep it. I'll tell Val about the schedule change. Hmm? Okay?I dunno, Vox. It'll make Val angry if I don't show up, Angel rasped, his gaze still focused on the floor. Bringing his eyes up, he caught sight of the cash wad. Conflicted, he anxiously held the back of his neck, Vox.Listen, I promise that Val will be okay. You need to put yourself first right now. Here, I said and placed the money in his hand, not giving him time to think about refusing it. I'll have one of my guys escort you, if you'd like. Actually, why don't we go ahead and do that. He'll drive you wherever you want to go.Okay, Vox. Frowning and accepting the money I gave him, Angel gave me a look, Thank you, Daddy. He seemed unsure of what his next move should be, balking slightly as I linked arms with him and escorted the star out of the office.Doesn't a day off sound good? I asked.Yes, Daddy, Angel whispered.I rang my head of security, gave him some instructions upon his arrival, and he personally departed with Angel. Exiting the building with a smile, Angel appeared more receptive to my gift in the end.Morphing into my electric form, I entered the building's electrical system and found Val in his studio. Darling, I gave Angel the day off, I immediately informed my love after landing.Oh– Val grumped while some stars showcased their opening outfits for him. He eyed me irritably, That was nice of you to give my employee a day off work without informing me. Did he ask you or something?
It's Angel, not just some employee, and it's one day. And no, he didn't ask. He looked down when entering the lobby, so I thought a day would brighten his mood. He'll be here tomorrow.

I actually don't care. I don't need him today, but check with me next time, Papi Chulo, I do have a schedule.
I apologize, baby, I said, taking his hand in mine and kissing it. I'll check with you next time.Mmhmm, Val hummed. Grinning wickedly, he pulled at my hand, biting and sucking at my wrist for a moment before releasing me.I shot him with a smoldering set of bedroom eyes and sat in the chair beside him.Want to go out with me tonight? Val asked and waved for his dressed-up stars to get on set.If that's what you want, I replied.Val irritably clicked his tongue as my answer wasn't what he wanted me to say. I wasn't following the secret script running in his head.Turning my head away from Val, I rolled my eyes, hard. I turned my face back toward him and grinned wickedly, You know what? Let's go to Basic again. That place was alright, except for the open bigotry.
But you just sat there and got drunk. You didn't get up and dance with me.
Isn't that the point of going out? I asked. To get drunk?You're supposed to get up and dance, Papi, Val replied in a thick accent. Basic is for twenty-something-year-old Hellborn kids. There's clubs right here in the city.Hmm, I hummed. Well, whatever, I can get us into any club in Pride, so where would you like to go, darling?Val lolled his head my way, giving me a seductively wicked grin, I have a place in mind, Voxxy.
★★★
Dressed in a black ensemble, I'd left the top few buttons undone on my dress shirt and was watching Val getting ready. I lit a cigarette and settled into my bedroom armchair. The room's lighting caught at the cyan-and-watermelon red, bi-color tourmaline ring on my left index finger. Val stalled in front of me, pausing to stare at the gemstone.Tino, darling, I drawled, you don't have a stitch on and I'm ready to walk out the door.Shhhut up, Val hissed irritably and waltzed away, going inside the walk-in.Rolling my eyes, I took a long drag of my cigarette and blew the smoke toward the ceiling. Where are we going? I asked, taking my phone and clicking around the internet.I'm trying to get ready! Val snapped and appeared in the walk-in's doorframe, still fucking naked. Do you want to converse or can I get dressed?!Please, if you'd get ready, I replied and motioned an upturned palm toward his wardrobe. Fuck me.
I fucking hate you.
Uh-huh, you should stop saying things you don't actually mean, I grumped, returning my focus to the internet. Your mouth is going to get you in trouble with Daddy. Would you like to be in trouble with me? Need punished before we leave?Clenching his jaw and muttering under his breath, he disappeared back in the closet.Brat.Vox? he called after some time, his tone mellowed. Can you help me?Yes, I said, putting out my second cigarette and leaving my armchair for the walk-in.Helping Val into a sharp little number, the dress was classy, black with silver accents. My love, putting on his own jewelry, was dripping in priceless diamonds as we left the penthouse. Exiting the building, our driver picked us up at the curb, and we departed for whatever destination Val had planned.We arrived and I helped Val out of the car. Approaching the entrance of a swanky-looking night club, a fella opened the doors and we were hit with some smooth piano jazz. The notes drifted on the air and encompassed us.Escorted to a table in the back, our drink order was taken and the server skipped off to put it in at the bar.A Rusty Nail was shortly delivered from my selected label of Scotch. The golden liquor looked more than enticing in its crystal tumbler.Val gave my drink a disapproving look. Boring– he breathed and shifted his Sex on the Beach cocktail closer to himself.Would you like a taste? I asked seductively. Kissing at my drink and leaning closer to Val, our lips touching as he lightly bit at my lower lip.Suddenly, we were interrupted by a cane's apple topper hooking at my screen. Lucifer, seemingly appearing out of nowhere, pulled until I was giving him my full attention. Good evening, young man, Lucifer greeted me, grinning wickedly.Staring at the king, electric anxiety momentarily crackled around my face.Luci, baby! Val greeted Lucifer with gusto and bent down across our table to get closer to his majesty.Lucifer reached for Val's face and ran a gentle finger along my love's jawline, Are you being a good boy for your Voxxy?Mostly, Valentino smiled genuinely.Good boy, the king praised him and moved to click his cane tip against the floor.Are you here with someone? I asked, glancing around suspiciously.No, I own this place. I come in occasionally to check on things. He waved his cane slightly and clicked the tip back against the floor, Hmm?I like it, I said. It's laid-back.Lucifer glanced around, Is it? He gave my chest a prod with his apple topper, Now, you boys have a good time. The food's pretty good too, if you're hungry.Val wants to dance, I said, sliding a hand along Tino's thigh under the table.Wagging his eyebrows, Lucifer nodded toward where other couples were slow dancing, Yes, we have that too! The house pianist takes requests. He's talented and has a range.Polishing off my drink, I stood up and held out my hand, My dear, shall we dance? Placing his hand in mine to accept my offer, I led our way to the dance floor. I placed a hand on Val's waist, and he rested some hands on my shoulders, smiling down at me. I looked up at Tino and a heat coursed through my entire body, Beautiful– Hey, did you know this was Lucifer's place?
No, I just heard it was easy going.
Mmm– I hummed. Yeah, I like it here.Voxxy? Val smiled some more and glanced toward Lucifer. The king was now sitting at our table and chatting with some patron that had approached him. You should invite him over tonight. To the apartment.
Invite who over? That Sinner looming over Lucifer?
Val narrowed his eyes and glared down at me, Vox, please pay attention.
It's hard to pay attention when someone so beautiful is in my arms.
Giving me a done look, Val frowned, Look over at Lucifer. He wants to fuck.My face going lava hot, I shifted my eyes toward Lucifer. The king was staring at us as he spoke with the patron. Shifting, I returned my full focus to Val. I looked up into Val's eyes and grinned wickedly, Well, right now I'm dancing with you.Val's face went bright red at my words.The piano man picked up the pace and we easily transitioned into the swing of things. After dancing to several songs, we returned to our table and found Lucifer still sitting there.Would you like to come over tonight? Val asked Lucifer, knowing the offer would never cross my lips. We could have a good time between the sheets.Val– I'm sure he's busy, I immediately interjected, shifting in front of Val, so that Val wouldn't sit next to Lucifer.The king gave me a dismissive look as I planted myself next to him. Hmm? he hummed.My entire body prickled with raw electric anxiety, I mean– I'm sure you're busy.Voxxy, do you want me to be busy? the king questioned.Looking directly at him, I frowned dramatically.Hmm? he hummed some more, leaning back and sipping at his drink that someone had brought him.No– I rasped honestly. No, I don't want you to be busy...
Address me properly.
I swallowed hard. Val had his hands all over me as I kept eye contact with Lucifer. Daddy, I whispered submissively toward the king.Val licked and bit at my neck, drawing my focus back on him.Lighting a cigarette, Lucifer smoked while a gold-scaled Hellborn and a sharply-dressed Sinner approached him. Val attempted to hold my attention as Lucifer and his acquaintances joked and laughed for several minutes while I made-out with Tino. The acquaintances departed, leaving Lucifer to focus on us. Settling down, Val finished off his second cocktail, and Lucifer tapped his cigarette against his ashtray and gave me a look.Lucifer, would you like to join us this evening? I asked.My dear, I'd love to, the king said evenly. Hooking my screen with his cane's apple topper, he shot me with a wicked set of bedroom eyes, Except, we'll go to my place. Hmm?Okay, I quietly agreed.Shall we? Lucifer questioned, suggesting we leave now. The king didn't wait for an answer and opened a portal. Darling, he said and walked around to take Val by a hand, helping him stand up. Val was aglow as Lucifer escorted him through to one of the Morningstar residences.I followed behind them and the portal closed after me.Lucifer's bedroom was vast, and we were clearly in the king's domain. He deposited Val on the bed and helped my love out of his dress. Val slipped his g-string off and laid back into the bedding. Good boy, Lucifer praised him, running a gentle finger along Val's happy trail to base. Val's face went bright red in the heat of things. Lucifer motioned me closer, Here, Voxxy.Obediently, I moved to front him.Hmm, Vox? Lucifer hummed gently. Calm down, I can feel your anxiety.I bit at my lower lip, Sorry.Unbuttoning my shirt and helping me out of it, Lucifer, fully dressed, sat on the bed's edge and used Val's body as a back rest. Val slipped an arm over the king's shoulder while I shed the rest of my clothes. Taking Val's hand in his, Lucifer gently kissed at him. Val, should we judge how Voxxy undresses?Bad! Val chirped. He's smooth sometimes but that performance was clunky.I narrowed my eyes at them.Lucifer laughed lightly, Voxxy, open the nightstand drawer.Getting into the nightstand and retrieving a bottle of lube, I gave it to him.Standing up, Lucifer roughly gripped at my arm and positioned me to bend against the bed. I gave Val a slightly distressed look as Lucifer set himself up behind me.Tino grinned and ran a smooth claw along the bottom of my screen. Sir, your boy here doesn't do a lot of bending over, he informed Lucifer.He'll be fine, Lucifer said, gently pulling at my right ass cheek. A cool breeze brushed against my tight little hole but my body went lava hot. He thumbed at my dry pucker, then gave my hole several stinging slaps, his fingers landing against my taint. My eyes went wide and I desperately grabbed at the duvet. Dripping cold lube along my crack, Lucifer rubbed it deep inside me. Adding a finger and sliding, he gave my back a rub with his free hand, Relax, Voxxy.I bit at my bottom lip and laid my head flat near some of Val's hands. Lucifer's natural warmth was intoxicating as he knew just what to do. Lucifer– his name dripped from my tongue. Luci, fuck...Mmhmm. Taking his hand away, Lucifer eased his hard cock deep inside me, Easy, Vox.My tight hole stretched around him, electric tingles prickling at my sensitive pucker. Eyes burning as I held back tears, we got into a rhythm all our own. My engorged cock was throbbing underneath us. As Lucifer fucked me, a pleasurable heat drifted around our bodies, my mind slipping into a euphoric state. Ahh, fuck– I breathed, having trouble putting thoughts together. Ah-Lucifer... Ahh.Thrusting hard and speeding up our rhythm, the sounds of our bodies slapping together sent me over the edge, my load shooting from my tip underneath me. With one last thrust, Lucifer's body tensed, filling me with his hot cum. Withdrawing himself, he gave my ass some stinging attaboy pats while I tried to catch my breath.I slumped down to the floor, feeling good but my pucker was radiating with electric tingles. Fuck me. I buried my face into the bedding as Val leaned in to rub my back. Tears pricked the corners of my eyes as I listened to Lucifer situate himself behind me.Lucifer sat on the bed next to my head and pinched at the side of my face, forcing some eye contact. He gave me a wicked grin, and I managed to return it.Well, that was fun for you guys, Val sulked.Ohh, no-no, young man, you're next, Lucifer laughed lightly. Still sitting next to me, the king shifted into his demon form.Val's eyes went wild with excitement. He glanced at me, more or less asking for permission.I gave Val a look, permission wasn't necessary.The silent exchange wasn't lost on Lucifer, Valentino, do you need permission from your Voxxy?Val's face went a bright shade of embarrassed, and he didn't offer an explanation.You're my good boy, I said genuinely. Standing up, I pulled Val in closer and our tongues met in a wet, heated, toe-curling kiss. Pulling away first, I pecked at his hand and departed for a short time to cleanup. I shortly rejoined them and got back into my underwear.A now naked Lucifer had Val laying on his back while the king's tail wrapped around one of Tino's legs, helping to angle him slightly. The king eased himself deep inside a lubed-up Valentino.I slipped on my slacks and shirt, leaving my shirt unbuttoned, and took in Val's expressions, listening to the sounds escaping his sweet lips as the king filled him with cock. Val's so beautiful.Planting myself in Lucifer's bedside armchair, the pain in my ass was clearly letting me know that I'd just been fucked by a celestial being. I lit a cigarette and continued watching them.Val threw an arm across his eyes and made little noises as the king fucked him long and hard. Ah– Val breathed shakily, precum pouring from his engorged cock. Whoa, ah! Ahh! Lucifer ran a heated finger along Val's rock-hard shaft. Val reached his limit, his cum landing messily on his own stomach.Finished and pulling out, Lucifer flicked his tail wildly and maneuvered around to hop off the bed. He returned to his regular form and approached me.I gave the naked king a cigarette and lit it for him, then I went over to attend to Val who was catching his breath. Lucifer had really done a number on him. Rubbing Val's back, I kissed at his shoulder, Hmm?I'm fine, Vox, Val
managed. He turned his head to get some direct eye contact, giving me a wicked grin. Might have trouble walking tomorrow, heh...Having dressed, Lucifer adjusted his outfit in a mirror. Who's hungry?! he asked jovially and shifted around to produce an enticing spread on a nearby table.Voxxy, Lucifer has strawberries! Val chirped. Go get me some!Hearing Val, Lucifer piled up a plate of strawberries and other fruit and brought it to us. The king got on the bed and I joined them, and together, we sat and ate fruit.Smiling, Val was genuinely happy being doted on by two kings. Val took a strawberry and fed it to me. Love you, he whispered, giving me some bedroom eyes.I ate a second strawberry that he offered me, Love you too, Tino.Lucifer turned on the big ass TV in his bedroom, Demonwives marathon?Val readily agreed, knocking me flat into the bedding and out of his way, all the better to watch his favorite television show.Fuck me sideways... Sighing loudly, I stuffed some pillows under my head and put in my best effort to pay attention to what was happening on-screen. Glancing over at Tino and watching his expression directed toward the TV, I couldn't help but smile. Shifting my eyes toward Lucifer, the king shot me with a wicked grin, then he refocused on the television–
Whoa boy.

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----

Entering the penthouse and finding Angel inside on the couch, I wanted to make a uey but our eyes locked, so I had to continue inside.Angel? I grumped, approaching him. Where's Val?He's not here, Angel said.
And why are you here?

You got any potential gigs for me? You know, on one of your shows?

What sort of question is that? Val works you too much as it is.

I just thought I could do something more universal, branch out of porn.

If this is about money, I can work something out for you.

No, it's not about money.

Actually, I can probably get you a guest spot on Hellfire Beat.

Wait?! Seriously?
Yeah, I replied and shot off a text to the show's casting director.
But not as, like, whore #9, right?

No-no, a speaking role– I'll work out your schedule with Val after I speak with the director.
Angel gave me a flat look.Attempting to ignore him, I busied myself by clicking around the internet and planting myself in my armchair, Yes?
You need to tell me why you're treating me so nice lately. This nice treatment, it's about me, so why won't you say?

My dear, don't look a gift horse in the mouth, hmm? I hope you weren't tricking me into this conversation, and that you actually want a job. I already messaged the casting director.

Well, yeah, I want the job. I never thought you'd set it up for me. I just wanted to understand why you're being so nice.

Don't try to manipulate me into telling you things that aren't your concern, I don't like that.

Why's that, Vox? Because you're the master manipulator?
Little shit. Glancing up from my phone, I arched a sharp eyebrow his way, Watch yourself, Angel.Angel frowned and shifted.What do I have to do to keep you happy? I asked, exasperated. I mean, for fuck's sake, Angel. Do you realize how much is on my plate? And then there's you. And Velvette. And there's Val. I lit a cigarette and took a long drag, Val, he's his own fucking plate. You couldn't possibly understand, I guess.Suddenly entering the penthouse, Valentino caught sight of us and balked. I need a fucking drink before finding out whatever THIS little rendezvous is about, Val grumped and waved a lazy hand toward Angel and me, red smoke twirling upward from the end of his cigarette on its holder. Why are you here? he asked Angel lightly and stalked off toward our alcohol selection.Taking another drag, I blew a stream of cigarette smoke toward the ceiling, Tino, Angel's stalking me.I am not! Angel scoffed.Stalker, I teased and read a text that just came in from the Hellfire Beat casting director. Val, Angel is doing me a favor, filling a role on my detective show next week. Can we work that out with scheduling?Whatever, Val snipped, appearing with a martini glass. Something colorful was sloshing around inside as he sat next to Angel on the loveseat. I don't fucking care.Angel flinched slightly at Val's tone.Val, easy– I breathed.Trying to get comfortable but not succeeding, because he wanted to lay down and Angel was in the way, Val instead shifted where he was sitting, You know, Voxxy, weren't you going to ask before making changes to Angel's schedule again?Sorry, it was a good opportunity for him, I lied like it was my idea while returning the director's text.Don't you have a home to go to? Val asked Angel. And why are you stalking Vox?I am not stalking Vox! Angel seethed.Val and I both laughed under our breath.Twirling his cigarette holder around, Val sent some smokey hearts my way, Voxxy belongs to me, Angel Cakes.I smirked toward Angel.Angel gave Val a nasty look.Mean-mug me all you want, Val said toward Angel. You know Vox won't let me do anything to you.Angel's eyebrows drifted upwards, But why won't Vox let you do anything?Angel, I grinned, what did I tell you earlier?Not replying, Angel furrowed his eyebrows.Whelp, Val said and jovially slapped his own knee, it was nice having you over and all, Angel, but Vox and I are going to fuck now, so if you'd leave, that'd be great.Oh my God, Angel muttered and got to his feet.With Angel vacating the loveseat, Val laid down, Good work today. Enjoy your weekend and have fun on Vox's detective show next week. Are you playing a random whore?The star shifted, Asshole–Both of you, knock it off– Angel, I'll send you the details shortly, I added. I think the director is tweaking the script.Okay, he said and walked toward the doors. Bye.I gave the star a nod goodbye.'Til next time, darling, Val grinned wickedly.Angel exited the penthouse and shut the doors behind himself.Alone, Val eyed me from his upside down position.We aren't actually going to fuck, are we? I asked, only wishing for sleep at the moment.Fuck no, I'm exhausted and had a late lunch, Val replied. Order us dinner, then we'll eat and go to bed.I reached over and lovingly ran a hand along his jawline, Okay, Tino.He smiled in return, Love you, mi amor.Love you too, I replied, shooting him with a set of smoldering bedroom eyes.

The Hellfire Beat production team wasn't thrilled by my looming presence as I escorted Angel to the roadside filming location. I handed the star over to wardrobe and he later waltzed out of the trailer looking sharp in a dark suit and tie. The detective badge hanging from a long-thin chain around his neck made him look official.A large and grizzled Hellhound exited his trailer to join us. Noticing me, he strode over and gave my back a hearty slap. How you doing, Boss? he asked.I'm doing fan-fuckin'-tastic, young man! I laughed lightly. You?I wish I felt like a young man! the Hellhound chortled. Getting along though– Ohh, my second grandson was born last week, he said and whipped out his phone to show me the two grandboys on his lock screen. The toddler was holding a cute newborn baby brother.I elbowed him lightly, The baby looks like your daughter.Eyes going wide, the Hellhound threw his muscled-arm over my shoulders, Thank Beelzebub, right?! God, my daughter's husband, woof.
I'll never forget their wedding. Your daughter's father-in-law, ha!
We both laughed boisterously at the shared memory.Angel was staring at me like I'd gone off the deep end.At that, I introduced the two and left them to figure themselves out. Going up to the director, I stuck a sharp claw under his chin. Make my boys look good, hmm? I threatened.Yes, Mr. Vox– the director swallowed hard.Leaving the director alone and motioning Angel closer, I offered a gentle hand and he accepted it. Angel, dear, call when filming wraps today. I'll send the car to drive you home, I smiled. Hmm?Angel shifted, Okay, Vox.
Have fun.

I will.
And listen to the Hellhound if he gives you advice, I told him. He knows what he's doing.Thanks for setting this up, Daddy, Angel mumbled.Why wouldn't I? I let go of his hand and nodded for him to get busy, Work hard.Angel gave me a grin and strode off toward where he was supposed to go.Leaving Hellfire Beat's exterior shoot, I retreated to my waiting car. I cast one last glance toward the cast and crew and slipped into the backseat, my driver whisking me back to the tower.
★★★
It was the final day of filming, and I was standing next to the director. I glanced down at him and grinned wickedly, Let me tell you, this episode better turn out well.The director frowned, He's had trouble memorizing his lines, but we got it done in the end.If a student performs poorly, it reflects back on the teacher's skills, I said, electricity momentarily crackling around my hand as I held it near his head. The poorly skilled teacher won't get far around here.He gulped, When I was growing up, a student's poor performance was blamed on lack of discipline in the home.Oh? I moved to stick a light static claw under the director's chin, There's only one person that will be disciplined if this isn't the highest-rated episode of the season.Yes, s-sir, the director stammered, scared. It's gonna be great, I promise!Removing my claw, I smiled at Angel as he approached me and was ready to leave. Good work, I told the star. Ready to go?Yep! Angel said.Leading the way, I reached the car first and opened the passenger door for the star. I personally drove him home and didn't linger after dropping him off, not wishing to speak with anyone there. Making my way back to my tower, I went up to the penthouse but nobody was home. Searching the building's surveillance system, I couldn't find Val.Hmm...I sent Val a text asking where the fuck he was, then I went to shower alone. Washed and exiting our en suite, I found Val laying on the bed.Val grumbled something inaudible.What's wrong? I asked.He shifted and sucked at his cigarette holder, blowing out a stream of red smoke, Nothing. The smoke twisted and turned as it reached for the ceiling.Liar, I said and entered the walk-in. Are you going out tonight?
No.
Staring at my clothes, I made a face over his responses, No? Shall I take you out tonight?
No, you shalln't.
I slipped on some boxer briefs and exited the closet, Why are you brooding?Val narrowed his eyes at me.Valentino, I will not beg for answers, I said with an arched eyebrow. Feeling neglected? How can I help you feel better?
Your attention is more divided than ever.

Yeah.

So, do something about it.

Everything I do is necessary, Val. You'll just have to understand.

I doubt driving Angel around and putting him on your stupid show was necessary. Did you guys fuck while you were at it?

Do you think I fucked Angel?
Eres un cabrón, so I don't FUCKING know! he said in a thick accent.
No, darling, I did not fuck Angel– Would you like a role on my cop show?
No, Val snipped.
Why not?

Cause you gave Angel a role first. I can't be second.
Oh my God– I breathed and rolled my eyes. Well, what would you like for dinner?
Nothing.

I'm getting irritated.

Yeah, and? What are you going to do, Vox? Beat my ass?
I raised my eyebrows, Should I?No, he pursed his lips.
Then fucking behave yourself.
Whatever– he rasped.
Believe it or not, Tino, Hell doesn't revolve around you.

No, but your Hell should revolve around me.

Are you trying to be cute?
Yes, Val grinned wickedly.
Well, knock it off.
His grin shifted into a sneer.Fix that expression, I chided gently. Hmm?
Asshole.
My irritation level rising, I laughed lightly instead of getting angry, Okay, Tino, let's figure out dinner.Fine, Val grumped, tapping at his cigarette holder to send some smokey red hearts in my direction.
★★★
Having a viewing of Angel's episode pre-release, I had several people of interest with me; namely the director, the lead actor Hellhound, Angel, Valentino, and myself.Angel seemed anxious.Valentino, when are you going to do an episode? the grizzled Hellhound asked, giving Val's back some hearty slaps.Val was both shocked and offended at the roughness, his eyes didn't meet with the lead actor's but wildly locked downward with mine.We'll book that spot soon, right, Val? I grinned wickedly. Waiting for the writers to come up with the role.Grumbling, Val took his seat next to mine.Sitting on my opposite side, Angel lightly chatted with his Hellhound co-star. The Hellhound genuinely liked Angel, and it shined through in their interactions in the snippets I'd already seen.We viewed the full episode and it was fucking excellent. Val watched in silence and his foul mood was palpable. How dare Angel do so well. I rolled my eyes. As the credits rolled and choosing my praise carefully, hopefully minimizing Val's volatile mood swing, I let Angel know he'd done well.Good job, the Hellhound star said and wrapped a tight arm around Angel as they exited the room together.Speaking with the director and watching him depart, I was left alone with Val. I took my love's hand in mine and kissed it, Why'd you come if you were going to get so upset?I wanted to watch it, Val grumped.Flicking a jolt toward the door, I hit the handle just right and locked us inside. I retrieved a condom from my inner jacket pocket and ripped open the wrapper. Eyeing him, I held out a hand.Val grumbled, getting into his bag and pulling out a lube bottle.Letting my dick loose from the confines of my pants and giving myself a number of expert strokes, I slipped the condom over my hard cock.Voxxy– Val sighed, hesitating for a brief moment. Standing up anyway, he maneuvered around and waltzed over to the nearby snack table. He shoved his pants down and knocked snacks and things out of his way while seductively leaning against the wood. I approached him and reached through his legs, grabbing him by the balls and placing my free hand flat against his back, roughly adjusting his position. AH! he yelped. Vox! Easy, Papi.Mmhmm– I hummed. Having full access and leaning down, I snaked a light static tongue between Val's legs, around my love's cock, sliding smoothly around his balls, going up along his taint to pucker. At the pleasurable sensation, precum flowed profusely from Val's tip. Heh, I grinned wickedly and stood upright, listening to his little sounds. Dripping lube along his crack and slicking us up, I set myself up behind him and we smoothly became one.Val breathed heavily, gripping at the table with some hands as I got into our usual rhythm. Holding onto his hips, I fucked him hard while listening to my name dripping from his beautiful tongue. Ahh, Vox– he rasped. Voxxy.Thrusting deep inside him, the room was sweltering, heat encompassed us as we made love. Sweet natural ecstasy flooded my mind while watching his breathing, our bodies slapping together, Hey, are you with me?
Ah-harder, Vox. Vox.
Speeding up our rhythm, I finished first, pulled out and had Val turn around. My lips encircling Val's engorged cock, my wet and hot tongue sliding along his rock hard shaft, I shortly had Tino's sweet cum shooting down my throat.Heh– he breathed hard. Vox.Swallowing and shifting back, I stood up to give his chest a loving rub. I left Val to situate himself while I cleaned myself up. Returning to him, I grinned wickedly, Hmm?Val shifted when we locked eyes. Clothed and waiting for me, he was smoking.Grabbing a crystal tumbler, I poured myself some whiskey. Val– I started, taking a drink, reel it in a notch.Reel what in? Val grumped.
The jealousy.

And what am I jealous of?

Angel will be back to work on Monday, and I expect the continuation of his well-treatment.

Don't treat me like I'm stupid, Vox.

I know you're aware of what you're supposed to do, however your temper takes control at times. And I answer to Lucifer if anything happens to Angel. Things are difficult enough, I don't need more to worry about with the threat of you paying Angel back for distracting me.
I'm not going to do any-fucking-thing, Val grumbled.I downed my whiskey, Alright. I believe you. Leading the way to leave, I unlocked the door and we exited the room to find Angel standing on the door's other side. The star jumped a mile when our eyes locked. Angel? Need a ride home? I asked him. I'll have the driver meet you out front.Angel stepped out of my wingspan, You, uhh, you answer to Lucifer?Ha! I laughed, suddenly racked with anxiety. Don't we all answer to him?! He is our leader.
But I heard you say if anything happens to Angel that you answer to Charlie's dad?

Didn't I tell you not to question when good things happen?

Yeah, but–
Angel, Angel, Angel... Angel, I said and pinched at my nonexistent nose, getting more irritated each time his name crossed my lips.Angel shrunk back a little further.Angel, baby, do you need a ride home? Val interjected, catching my mood.Folding his arms, the star frowned, I guess, but–Val gave me a nod, Vox, text the driver.I sent our driver a text to meet Angel at the curb.Ready for Monday, darling? Val smiled genuinely. Hmm? The writers have cranked out a number of my ideas that will be perfect for you.Yes, Val, Angel replied as Val steered him toward the lobby.Following behind them, I rolled my eyes. I guess I'd better speak with Lucifer since Angel can't let this go.We escorted Angel out of the tower and to our car. He got in and we watched the driver depart, taking the star home.Ughh, I breathed.Heh, Val laughed lightly. Let's go upstairs and drink.My mood shifted and I shot him with a grin, Okay, Tino. I could use a relaxed evening.I know you, Voxxy, my love smiled. Never forget, I know you better than anyone.Feeling a bit better as Val spoke, we went inside and made our way upstairs together.

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----

Naked and spread across Lucifer's lap, I awaited his attention with my face near the rug. However, he was currently engrossed with signing a stack of urgent documents brought by his assistant. The assistant, now accustomed to my sporadic presence in the Morningstar residences, seemed utterly indifferent to my plight. Anxious electricity prickled across my skin. The painful static sensation tingled through Lucifer's suit and it earned me a fiery, skin-rippling slap from Lucifer's hand to my upturned ass.Ouch! I yelped, stinging tears pricking the corners of my eyes. The sear from his slap burned intensely as I tried to be still for him.Vox, calm yourself, Lucifer said evenly. Shock me again and you'll be off my lap for a leathering. Want to have a discussion with Daddy's strap instead of my hand?No, sir, I rasped. Listening to him scrawling out his signature on various papers, the sound was identical with each scratch, each flourish, and ending with the stamp of his official seal. A symphony of his dominance that I knew by heart.Lucifer's attendant entered the room and brought me a crystal tumbler filled with whiskey. Not bothering to savor the golden liquor, I gulped it down from my position over Lucifer's lap. She gave my shoulder a comforting squeeze before taking the glass from me. Walking the glass over, she set it on the coffee table and left the room.The drink of whiskey left a numbing warmth that spread through my body. It was a temporary escape that vanished the moment the scratching of Lucifer's ink pen ceased. Lucifer's staff exited the king's study, and he brought his hand down harshly in a series of fiery slaps to my vulnerable bottom. The pain was excruciating and tears spilled from my eyes. I choked out a sob as the searing pain built, his palm biting into my skin with every punishing slap.Lucifer!! I cried out, kicking my feet slightly. Sir, I'm sorry! my voice cracked with desperation. The king ignored my pleas. I grabbed the back of my neck and fully submitted to him, bawling against the rug. Daddy, I choked out, desperate for the fire-laced onslaught to end.Naughty boy, hmm? Lucifer drawled as he continued spanking me. My time is valuable, Vox. What if I hadn't been available to fix your company's screwup today?I'm sorry! I bawled. In a panic, my claws dug into the rug, tears splattering against the fibers underneath me. Daddy, I'm sorry!!Pausing my punishment, Lucifer gently rubbed at the fire roaring across my poor ass.I laid over his lap, crying my eyes out.Are we done? he snipped. Or do we need to continue this discussion with the strap?My mind in a fog, I only sobbed harder at the threat of him bringing the strap out of his desk drawer.Go lay on the loveseat, Lucifer said, giving my scorched cheeks some love pats.Slumping down from Lucifer's lap, I held my ass with one hand. A fresh set of stinging tears poured from my eyes as my punished muscles and skin stretched tight.Voxxy, get up and go lay on the loveseat, he reiterated. Pulling the strap out of his desk, he let it slap against his knee as a warning to get my ass up off the floor.I managed to get to my feet. Aching all over and my ass on fire, I limped my naked self over to collapse on the loveseat. Staring at my king with blurry, tear-filled eyes, I sighed raggedly while getting a hold of myself.Lucifer's assistant entered the office with several more papers for his majesty to sign. The assistant raced the signatures out of the room to get them filed with the clerk by a certain time.Lucifer strode over and made me pick up my head to rest it on his lap as he sat down. Okay, your mistake has been taken care of, darling. And your ass paid for it, hmm?Yes, sir, I replied, my voice rough from crying.
Apologize again.
I'm sorry, Daddy, I whispered.He gave my shoulder a comforting rub, That's my good boy. I forgive you. The approval process with Sloth Health Authority won't be interrupted, so carry on however you initially planned.Holding me for awhile and letting me decompress mentally for several hours, I was allowed to dress and Lucifer threw open a portal for me to return home.Stepping into my basement apartment, I shifted into my electric form and entered the building's power system to land upstairs in the penthouse. I had a noticeable limp from Lucifer and tried to hide it from Val and Velv who were waiting for my return. I sat in my armchair and the sensation of planting my smoldering ass brought some fresh tears to my eyes.We were afraid to text you while you were meeting Lucifer, Velv said.Lucifer took care of everything, I sighed. You can start peddling your newest snake oil around Hell after Sloth completes product safety testing.Val locked eyes with me and frowned dramatically.I shifted on my beaten ass, Next time, let's file all the required paperwork with the Sloth Health Authority.We did, Velv said.
You two did something wrong. Which one of our corporate attorneys did you use to file the paperwork? I'm literally going to throw whoever it was out the fucking window.

We didn't use one... The paperwork is straightforward, so we...
I was too worn out to be angry, but I managed to raise an irritated eyebrow her way, Sure, it's straightforward when you don't miss ticking a box on some random page, which is apparently what happened. So, let's make sure one of the lawyers does a read-through of applications before submitting to Sloth. That is, if you don't hand your filing responsibilities off to someone else altogether, okay? Lucifer was not pleased with me over this fiasco, and for my sake we need to keep him happy. He was able to get the corrected paperwork sent to Sloth on his authorization before the cutoff. The approval with Sloth is still on schedule.Val rolled his shoulders.Frustrated, I narrowed my eyes at him. I'm going to bed, I said and got to my feet.Vox, you aren't having dinner first? Val asked, worried.I managed a grin and took his hand in mine, I'm just exhausted. You and Velvette should go out for dinner. Have a good time, okay?Okay, he frowned.Leaving them to go eat without me, I entered the bedroom and continued to hide my limp. I shed my suit to slip into my silk night clothes and crawled under the duvet, wincing as every-fucking-thing hurt.The bedroom door opened and Val slipped inside the room. Wordlessly, my love got in bed and laid against my side instead of going out to eat, Sorry, Vox.Again, the door opened and closed, and Velvette approached my side of the bed with a cup of tea. Vox, she said gently and set the mug on my nightstand. This was my fault.Darling, I whispered and managed to give her a smile.Upset, she got in bed and gave the side of my head a loving peck.The three of us falling asleep, I woke up to them snoring and their appendages flung all over me. Oh my God.My eyes shifted to the end of the bed and I jumped a mile to see Lucifer standing there, his demon eyes glowing in the room's darkness.Without a word, he motioned me closer.I managed to slip out of bed without waking Val and Velv and followed Lucifer out of the room.Grabbing my arm and turning me around, Lucifer pulled my silk night pants down and placed a gentle healing hand against my ass. The lingering fire and intense ache immediately settled down. Hmm? the king hummed and put my britches back in place for me. Well, I saved you a chunk in re-filing fees and time. That mistake would've taken months to correct if I hadn't intervened– A last second intervention is painful, right? Good thing I was available to assist you. He pinched at my chin, forcing some eye contact, Yes, sir?Yes, sir– I breathed and rubbed my good-as-new ass cheeks with both hands.Lucifer grinned wickedly and let go of me as we moved to sit on the living room loveseat together. He leaned back into my body while I held him close. Fishing the TV remote closer to him with his cane's apple topper, he turned the TV on.A delay in our endeavor would've hurt more than your beating my ass, I told him. We have a warehouse full of product ready to distribute to the Hellborn after Sloth deems the formula harmless.Choosing some movie to watch, Lucifer took my hand in his and kissed it.

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----

Sitting in my basement command center, I was watching Val work. The man was a boss. He knew the artistry potential for his medium; the angles, the natural flow of bodies, capturing certain stars when they slipped from acting into the peak of their lust-filled interactions. My love knew it all and how to showcase it, and how to make money while doing it.Filming another scene for Val's beach series, the set floor was covered in white sand and had a green screen behind them. During a pause in the action, the actors were fronting Val and bitching at him about the sand getting in every-fucking-orifice.I wonder why he keeps making these beach films? I asked myself out loud. B-movie style setups ending in messy sex. Whatever makes money, I guess.Val looked bored as the stars continued their bitching. They eventually gave up when he didn't respond.Suddenly, my command center doors opened, and I turned in my chair to see who was invading my personal space.Lucifer came waltzing down the catwalk, expensive heels and cane tip clicking loudly against the hard flooring.Sir, I greeted the king.Young man, Lucifer replied jovially, sidling up next to me and staring at Val on the screen. Watching your fella, hmm?I rolled my shoulders, Yeah–Your obsession, he grinned.Giving the king a look, I took a drink of my coffee, How do you always know where I am?Lucifer gave the top rim of my screen a light thunk with his cane's apple topper. It caused my screen to glitch for a moment. Watch your tone, Voxxy– And I just know things.Yes, sir, I mumbled and held the spot assaulted. Fucking, ow, Lucifer.
You're fine. Didn't you text me this morning, wishing to discuss something?

You never sent a text back.
Oh, the king said and looked at his phone. He tapped around for a second, then shot me with a wicked grin.I received an immediate text notification and didn't bother to open it. Rolling my eyes, I gave him a flat look, Yes, we need to discuss Angel. He wants to know what's going on and won't leave me alone about it.Why? he smiled. What's going on now?Frustrated, I sucked in a deep breath and let it out slowly.Lucifer pinched at my chin to get some eye contact and let go, You are in a mood today.I need your direction on what Angel should be told about the better treatment, I said. He's demanding to know why things have changed.Oh– the king breathed and arched a wild eyebrow my way. Tell Angel that Valentino was out of control. That you needed to get a better handle on him. Nobody could deny that– Is this all you wanted? I think you could've figured out what to say by yourself.
You're the one who didn't tell Angel to begin with.
Hey, I don't need to be brought up. It's okay if Angel thinks you're a better man than you are, Lucifer drawled.Anxiously, I grabbed the back of my neck, Yeah, he already knows that I'm not.
You could have taken care of things before my intervention, but you didn't.
Yeah, I know– I breathed.Lucifer gave my side a prod with his cane, You're making things overly complicated. Just keep Val under some reasonable amount of control and keep watching over Angel, hmm? Understood?Rolling my shoulders, I shifted my eyes toward the floor, Yes, sir.
Voxxy, look at me.
I obediently focused on Lucifer.
If you don't do what I say or fail to meet my minor expectations, you'll be punished, right? Physically... Monetarily.
Yes, sir– I rasped, my entire body going lava hot.Yes, Daddy? Lucifer corrected.My eyes burned as I slumped back in my chair, Yes, Daddy.The king pinched at my chin and jerked my face forward, That's my good boy. He gave my forehead a gentle kiss and let go of me. I'm away for business tomorrow, but get Val to figure out his schedule and the three of us can get together for dinner in a few days.Okay, I replied.I'm off then, Lucifer said. Call if you need me for anything. Stepping back and exiting in a twirling-demonic shroud of black and reds, the king was gone.Sighing loudly, I shifted in my chair.
★★★
Getting my early morning coffee from my regular barista, I watched Angel enter the tower through the main doors. I got his attention and waved him over to the lobby cafe. With a smile, my barista started a latte for the star. Let's chat a moment before you go to the studio, hmm? I said, grinning at Angel.Okay, Angel said apprehensively and grabbed his drink.Leading him to an unoccupied conference room, I shut us inside and sat at the head of the table. Angel planted himself on the table top's corner, and I held out a gentle hand. He placed his free hand in mine and frowned. Listen– I started and sighed raggedly.He gave me a flat look, wagging a crossed leg and sipping at his coffee, I'm listening, Vox.Do you have everything you need? Need some spending money? I asked and let go of his hand. Slipping my wallet from my inside jacket pocket, I thumbed out some large bills. I pressed them into his hand I'd been holding. It's okay, take it.
Daddy, I don't need an allowance.
Don't argue with Daddy, I snipped.Angel glanced at the amount before pocketing the bills, his eyes brightening slightly.
Okay, so I let Val get away with being a monster for a long time, but things are better now, right?

Yeah, I guess.
You guess? I questioned. What does that mean?
I don't know.

I couldn't let things continue as they were, okay? It was too much. And that's why I inserted myself into the situation.
Angel held the back of his neck, Val's been distant lately. That's difficult too...My eyebrows drifted upward into my non-existent hairline.Hey, I better get to the studio, Angel said. Val's been patient lately but not that patient, the star laughed lightly and got to his feet.Exiting the conference room, I escorted Angel to Val's studio, gave Val a few moments of my attention, then left them to work.
★★★
Arriving at a new swanky restaurant in a different district, we were meeting Lucifer for dinner. The interior was nicely decorated in black and dark blues with lighted star-like crystals cascading across the ceiling.Approaching the hostess, she led Val and me to the VIP seating in the back.Without warning, Lucifer's familiar-looking portal opened up in front of our booth.Angel stepped through first and fronted our table. Hi, the star mumbled.Angel, baby, are you Lucifer's purse dog now or what? Val asked in a thick accent. You're always with him.Are you jealous, Val? I laughed lightly. Do you want to be Luci's purse dog?Shifting, Val gave me an irritated look.Lucifer joined us and his portal closed after him. Who's Luci's purse dog? Hmm? the king questioned and reached forward to pinch at my chin. Shooting me with his wickedest of grins, he gave my screen a little jostle and let go, Heh! Directing the three of us with his cane's apple topper, Lucifer got Angel seated next to Val with me and Lucifer seated at the booth's exits. The king arched a warning eyebrow my way, a warning to not change his desired seating arrangements.Shifting irritably, I narrowed my eyes and grabbed my menu from the newly arrived waiter.The waiter introduced themself and went over some points of interest on the menu. Gentlemen, I'll give you a moment to– the waiter started.I glanced over the menu and cut him off, A Rusty Nail, citrus ice water, the arugula salad with toasted quinoa, and I'll have the crab ravioli. Thanks.Ahh– Lucifer breathed, yeah, and the rest of our table will need a moment, he grinned. But I'll start with a whiskey on the rocks– Angel, dear?Cosmocello, Angel told the waiter.Val smiled genuinely, A Galaxy cocktail.Raising his eyebrows, the waiter wrote Val's drink down, Uhh..?Just tell your mixologist. In a place like this, he'll know, Val said, waving him off. Poured into a martini glass.Oookay, the waiter drawled, giving Val a judgmental look. Bowing out, the demon left to put in our drink order.I shifted a glance toward Angel across the table. The star was lost in conversation with Val about a series they were starting.Should we talk shop too? Lucifer asked me jovially, drawing my focus.Ha! I laughed. I'd prefer not to, sir.Receiving our drinks from the waiter, I gave Val's martini glass a look. The ombre-layered blue and purple alcohols were swept upward together with edible glitter shimmering throughout and coating the glass rim.Lucifer sampled his whiskey and nodded toward the celestial-themed drink, That's certainly something, huh?Mmhmm, I hummed.Val narrowed his eyes at me, What?!Grinning, I lit a cigarette, Nothing.The daddies are making fun of your drink, Val, Angel smirked.Whatever, Val replied, his mood shifting into something unbothered. He smoothly re-entered a conversation with Angel about work.Lucifer leaned back and joined me in smoking, very much enjoying his whiskey and surveying Val's fluctuating moods.Val was talking about a recent hire, ...and so, when the guy came in for a screen test, he tripped into the studio holding that Best Newcummer Award he won last year–You've poached a lot of new talent from that one Lust studio, Angel interjected as our appetizers were delivered.I took a long drag of my cigarette, Yeah, at a price. Those Lust guys expect a competitive salary to get them up here. And unlike Sinners, Hellborn age naturally... So, you know, those Lust gals and fellas move on after awhile.Holding out his cigarette holder, Val gave me a wicked grin.Lighting Tino's cigarette for him, I watched as Val smoked and jabbed at his food instead of eating. I arched an eyebrow Val's way but he ignored me.Eating our meal and getting through the evening without incident, Lucifer opened a portal and sent Angel home alone, then returned to his spot at our booth.The waiter brought us new drinks and left.So, you've addressed Angel's concerns? Lucifer asked me as he enjoyed his whiskey.More or less, I replied and lit another cigarette for myself.The king drummed his fingers on the table. Hmm? he hummed lazily. What does more or less mean?I shifted, It's all complicated, right? You know it is– But I'll continue trying to keep Angel happy while he works himself out.Lucifer leaned back and stared up at Val beside me, That's fine then–Glancing up at Val and catching his mood, I took Val's hand in mine and kissed it, What's wrong?Nothing, but I don't need to be lorded over, Val said.Maybe you do, Lucifer grinned wickedly.I get along fine with Angel, my love snipped. Look, Luci, he continued with a familiarity that bordered on disrespect, I understand why you and Vox are keeping an eye on things, but–Lucifer's eyes flashed dangerously and Val's sudden display of bravado fizzled. Hmm? the king hummed. Care to finish that but?My hand instinctively reached for Val's, a silent plea for him to back down.Just saying, Val mumbled, his voice losing every trace of defiance, I understand that Angel is under my power, and I understand what you and Vox expect from me. There's nothing else to say, right?Planting his cane tip against the restaurant floor, Lucifer stood up and approached us. The king kissed my forehead and took Val's hand, kissing it gently before tossing up a portal for himself and departing, leaving Val and me alone in the booth.I downed my drink and shot Val with an irritated side-eye, Don't argue with Lucifer like that.I wasn't! I was AGREEING with him! Val snapped. What more could I fucking say?
Alright-alright, don't get your bloomers in a fucking twist. He wasn't angry or anything.
Mood shifting, Val ran a seductive finger along the bottom of my screen, Let's go home, Voxxy. I need a little stress relief after all that. Hmm, Papi?Shooting Val with a wicked set of bedroom eyes, I grinned, Shall we? We stood up together and I escorted him out of the restaurant, making our way back to the penthouse for a heated evening between the sheets.

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----

Sitting in the only chair set out in the porn studio, my expression went flat as Angel waltzed over and planted his boney ass on my knee. Darling– I drawled, wincing slightly.Vox, Angel greeted me. They're changing the set around, he explained the sudden intrusion.Val approached us and sat on my other knee, looking over a script that his remote Lust writer had sent him that morning.You brats are killing me, I informed them.Are we too heavy for a big strong Overlord like you, Daddy? Angel grinned wickedly.I arched an irritable eyebrow toward the star. Shut up– Val, where are the chairs at? I snipped.The other set, Val said. Trav can't direct unless he's sitting. He's a diva.Raising my eyebrows, I tried to get Angel and his boney ass to shift position slightly, Val, is there some reason we don't own enough chairs for the studio?Val absentmindedly ran a hand along my screen. Eyes glued to the script he was reading, Val's mind wasn't anywhere near the studio. This's hot– he whispered, turning the page.Good, take that script and make up for the salary that we're paying its writer, I said.From his spot on my knee, Angel looked up at Val, Do you have new prescription glasses or something?No– Val replied. Why?
I just noticed, but it seems like your vision's improved, yeah? You were having trouble before.

Yeah, my eyes got better after I had sex with someone.
Uhh– Angel breathed and gave me a look, assuming I'd know what Val was fucking talking about. Val, what?Everything's ready! the set director suddenly snapped.Val, don't forget we're meeting that set designer later, I reminded him.Val nodded from Angel toward the set without looking up from the script, We'll start in a minute, Angel Cakes.Angel stood up and adjusted his opening outfit.Giving the star's ass a tingling smack, I looked at him seriously as our eyes met, Do your best, hmm?Protectively holding his cheeks with either hand, Angel eyed me for a moment before striding away.Val, your eyes are better? I whispered, having some slight privacy.After a certain celestial-being fucked me, yeah, Val mumbled quietly. You're just now noticing? Observant, Vox.I rolled my eyes, I'm supposed to notice every-fucking-detail about everything?Yes– he said, furrowing his eyebrows. Angel noticed.
You should have said something. You should have told me that star-cum healed your damn eyes. Did you tell
Lucifer about it?
No, why would I tell him? Val grumped and slapped the script against my chest. I didn't even tell
you. He stood up and motioned toward a large top waiting on the sidelines. Turning back and giving me a
look, Val wasn't happy, Vox, darling, I'm trying to work, hmm? You like it when I'm making money, right?
I don't want to discuss my eyes right now.The top waiting on the sidelines, camera ready, was watching Val for further instructions.Yes, fine, just don't forget about meeting that set designer tonight, I said again, making sure he
heard me.Yes, Vox, he waved me off as he started snapping orders at the cast and crew.
★★★
Meeting with the set designer, things were falling in Val's favor. We gave the guy the weekend to consider
our very generous offer and made our way home.Think he'll say yes? Val asked nonchalantly, flicking his way around the internet on his phone.He has no reason not to, I replied. Just remember that he's a Hellborn.
Must you always point out every time a Hellborn is in my spitting distance.

You can't be killing Hellborn– And no spitting at them either.

Darling, stop. I know we don't want Lucifer angry with us. I'm not as dumb as you think.
Don't put words in my fucking mouth, I said, lighting a cigarette while waiting at a stop sign.
This designer will need to mesh well with your set director.Val turned on his playlist, I'm not worried. The director knows who's in charge.I rolled down my window, blowing out a stream of smoke and flicking the ashes off onto the street. Let's
tell Luci about your eyes, I said, driving on and hanging a right for the tower.
Why would he care? He only wants to keep me under thumb, so he keeps me under YOUR thumb.

If you had some impulse control, you wouldn't need to be curbed.

Vox, curb yourself.
I grinned wickedly before sucking at my cigarette, again blowing the smoke out the open window and tapping the ashes off to fall in the street.Getting home and inside the penthouse, we left a trail of clothes from the front doors to our bed. I shoved
Val toward the bed, shooting him with my wickedest set of bedroom eyes. Smoothly, he shifted around to get
on the mattress. Arching his back, Val pulled at either cheek to show me his offering. Approaching him, I
gave Val's ass a sharp bite. A suppressed yelp escaped through his clenched jaw before he melted in my
hands. I kissed the spot better and moved down to run a wet, lightly tingling tongue from his balls to
pucker. I touched a gentle static claw to his hole and my name dripped passionately from his beautiful lips.Voxxy– Val rasped, eyes watering slightly, precum pouring from his engorged cock.Grabbing lube from the nightstand and slicking us up, I eased myself deep inside my love.Ahh... he breathed as we became one. Vox.Heat rolled off his beautiful body as I leaned into him, kissing at his naked back. Beautiful, I drawled seductively. Hmm? I hummed against his skin, licking at him with a wet, static tongue.He sucked in a deep breath at the electric sensation, clawing at the sheets.Leaning back and grabbing Tino's hips, I slowly got into our usual rhythm. Our bodies knew each other like
none other, and the sounds of our making love had the room sweltering. A natural ecstasy coursed through me
as little words dripped from his sweet tongue.Voxxy– Val managed. Ahh...I reached underneath us and grabbed his throbbing shaft, giving him several expert strokes. At my touch,
sweet precum poured from his tip.
I'm– Close... Vox.
Mmm, I hummed and ran some gentle claws along his hip as I continued thrusting. At my limit and speeding up our rhythm, my body tensed as I filled Val with cum. Withdrawing myself and getting him to turnover on his back, I ran a hot, wet, static tongue along his rock-hard cock before taking the length of him
in my mouth. Sliding along the length of his shaft, his claws ripped at the sheets as I went from base to
tip several times. Shortly, Val's hot cum shot down my throat. I swallowed and kissed his tip on my way out.Breathing erratically, Val collapsed back into the bedding and threw an arm across his watering eyes.Giving his thigh a light smack, I shot him with a grin and took his free hand in mine, holding him gently
until he calmed down.Letting Val rest a moment, and then showering together, we dressed for bed and went to lounge in the living room.
★★★
Taking Saturday to do absolutely nothing, and filming all day on Sunday to produce a week's worth of
episodes for my late night talk show, Monday was scheduled with wall-to-wall meetings. The Incubus set
designer called and arranged to sign paperwork this afternoon, accepting the job offer from Val.I sent Val a text about it and made my way to the lobby cafe to grab something caffeinated. My barista made
my usual and gave it to me. Turning, I damn near ran into Lucifer. I arched some sharp eyebrows his way as
the barista knowingly handed him a coffee. Checking my phone for a missed call from the king, there weren't
any.Lucifer gave me a prod with his cane's apple topper, Young man, calm down, hmm?Sorry– I rasped and cleared my throat.He motioned for me to walk, and we made our way across the lobby.I shifted, What's wrong?
Nothing. I was bored.
Oh, I laughed. Well, I have a meeting with advertising. So, I guess you can come to that.He grinned genuinely, Fun!Entering the conference room, I invited Lucifer to sit in my usual chair and seated myself in the corner
seat next to him.My advertising team entered the room and jumped a mile when they saw Lucifer. The team leader, a
sharp-looking Hellhound, wasn't as shocked by the king's presence and got the presentation rolling. I gave
them my notes, and Lucifer pointed out a section that could be improved visually. The team exited the room
in good spirits.That's it? Lucifer asked.Shall we go see Val? I questioned and polished off my coffee.
Let's.
Texting my assistant to shift my schedule around, I stood up first, Val doesn't want to talk about it,
but you healed his eyes, I guess. He had trouble with his vision and now he doesn't.Joining me in standing, Lucifer checked his phone, Oh?
Did you know you healed him?
No, I didn't know about his eyes– Wait, I fucked him in demon form. Ha! Okay, that makes sense. Wagging his eyebrows and shifting into his demon form, the king wrapped his tail around my waist and pulled
me closer, our tongues meeting in a hot, twisted embrace. Pulling away first, he pinched at my chin,
You're my good boy, hmm? Noticing little details about things.I swallowed hard.Uncoiling his tail from my waist, he gave my ass a sharp pop with his tail tip. I winced slightly but tried
to hide my reaction. He grinned wickedly and shifted into his regular form. Let's go spend some time with
Val.I maneuvered around and opened the conference room door, letting Lucifer exit first.
Standing outside my conference room with Lucifer at my side, he effortlessly opened a portal to Val. We stepped through, landing in the porn studio and finding Val busy bitching at some of his stars.You need to fuck like you mean it, not like a couple of sick animals thrown together in a gunny-fucking-sack! Val snapped. You're moving all over each other but what do those movements translate into? You need to arch your back, move your hips, get into the act, your facial expressions are important. Lust, moments of passion; your acting needs to be somewhat believable or what's the fucking point?!Val quit yelling and got his stars situated for the cameras.The studio was again lacking in seating with only Val's chair present. Conjuring a couple of tufted armchairs out of nowhere, the king silently pointed his cane's apple topper toward the chair I was supposed to plant my ass.Sitting down, I watched Val work.Val shortly walked over and ran a gentle claw along the side of my screen, Hi, baby– Nobody is listening to me today. I want to KILL every-FUCKING-one of them.Well, let's refrain, I gave him a smile. Hmm?Leaning down and brushing his lips against mine, Val gave me a quick peck. He stood upright and wagged some wild eyebrows at the king, Lucifer.Have you been behaving for your Voxxy? Lucifer asked him.Mostly, King Papi, Val smiled genuinely, enjoying Lucifer's attention. Swirling around his cigarette holder, my love produced some smokey-red hearts that drifted upwards toward the ceiling.Lucifer, satisfied with Val's predictable reply, conjured a crystal tumbler with a flitter of his fingers. Nestling into his chair, ice clinked and cracked inside the glass as a golden liquor poured over the cubes from an unseen source. The king sampled his drink, lazily glancing toward the set.Val got things rolling and his actors seemed to be on their game this time. The shoot wrapped and Val sent his cast and crew home.Lucifer, wearing quite the expression, offered us a portal from the studio to an unfamiliar Morningstar residence. Entering a bedroom that was obviously his, Lucifer lit a cigarette and sat on the edge of his bed, motioning for Val to approach him.Obediently, Val fronted the king and slumped to his knees.Grabbing Val by the chin and looking deep into my love's eyes, the king gently smoothed one of Val's eyebrows. You were having eye problems? he asked Val. And I fucked your problems away? Hmm?Irritably clicking his tongue that I'd said something about his eyes, and Lucifer's healing starcum, Val tried to glare over at me, but Lucifer jerked Val's head back into position.Eyes on me, young man, Lucifer said lightly. Answer.Val flinched, thrown off by Lucifer's harsher tone. Y-yes, sir, he stammered in the king's powerful hands. My eyes are better now.Shedding my suit jacket and unbuttoning my shirt, I sat in the armchair by Lucifer's bed and lit a cigarette.Lucifer gently kissed Val's forehead, When did our Voxxy notice your eyes were better?
He didn't...

Ohh?

Angel noticed last week and told him.
Swallowing hard, I brought my cigarette to my lips and took a long drag.Well– Lucifer drawled. Someone left that part out, the king grinned, eyeing me.I shifted, Sorry.Sorry? the king laughed lightly.
Yes.
Giving me a simple dismissive hand gesture, Luci kept his focus on Val.I got to my feet and placed my cigarette in the ashtray. Are you angry? I asked. Because I lied?Val, Lucifer addressed my love, ignoring me. Vox likes to play these little manipulation games so that I'll beat him. Telling me how he endangered himself, little lies, wanting official paperwork expedited with my seal.Shedding my shirt, my screen glitched for a moment as he spoke.Though, the king continued, that paperwork incident was beyond infuriating, so he earned that one– Daddy spanked the living daylights out of you, didn't he, Voxxy? You weren't expecting that little sit-down, hmm?I attempted to control my breathing while meeting Lucifer's gaze, my face going lava hot. Still holding onto my shirt, I tossed it over the armchair and finished removing the rest of my clothes.Val laid his head on Lucifer's lap while the king lovingly rubbed at Val's crown.Luci, it's not a game, I mumbled, approaching the king.Manipulation? Well, that's like a game, he grinned wickedly. But not as fun for me, since I know every time you lie. If you have an itch that needs scratched, I'd have no issue if you asked outright.I anxiously grabbed at the back of my neck, That's not what I want– I don't want to ask.Oookay– Lucifer said, rubbing a gentle thumb between Val's eyes. Hmm, Val? What should we do now?Let's have fun, Val replied, totally relaxed under Luci's healing fingers.Moving his hand, Lucifer reached over and ran a finger down my happy trail to the base of my cock, Should we have fun, Voxxy? And then we'll talk later.The fiery sensation his finger left caused my knees to damn near buckle, my cock instantly throbbing for him. I grabbed a hold of his arm to steady myself. Fffuck! I rasped. Y-yes, Luci. We'll talk later.Val slipped out of his clothes while Lucifer got to his feet.With his wickedest of grins, the king motioned for us to get on the bed.We obediently did as requested and shifted onto the mattress. My eyes locked with Val's as we found each other, our tongues sliding in a sizzling, passion-laced kiss. God, I love him. Breaking away and moving down to suck at Val's neck, he gasped underneath me when I lingered too long on one spot. Heh–Lucifer, waltzing around, retrieved lube and got out of his clothes to join us. Shifting into his demon form, the naked king approached the bed, emotions hidden behind an unreadable expression. The sight of Lucifer in his demon form sent an intoxicating wave of heat coursing through me. Grinning wickedly, he jumped on the bed, wildly flicking his tail back and forth. Val settled in, figuring he was second string, but Lucifer wrapped his tail around my love's leg and hauled him around like a rag doll. Positioning Val face down, ass up, the king ran a hot, wet tongue along Val's taint to his asshole, slipping his tongue inside him.Val melted under the king, his eyes glazing over in a natural ecstasy.That's a good boy, Lucifer grinned wickedly. Pulling back and dripping a generous amount of lube along Val's crack, the king eased some slicked fingers deep inside him. Hmm? Relax, darling. He withdrew his hand, running a heated thumb from Val's taint to balls.Ahh– Val breathed at the fiery sensation, his face going a bright shade of red.Lucifer's tail uncoiled from Val's leg and seductively snaked around his waist, keeping Val angled just right for his majesty. Easing his slicked, engorged cock into Val's eager hole, the king got into a rhythm all their own, fucking him hard.Gasps and moans dripped from Val's sweet tongue while precum poured freely underneath him.Val, Lucifer smirked.Val clawed at the sheets and grabbed my arm, his fingers tightening with every thrust that Lucifer gave him. The sounds of them fucking and bodies slapping together had my head swimming. Luce... Val moaned into the bedding. Luci, I– Fffuck...Lucifer gripped harshly at Val's hips, fucking him harder, Close?
Mmm.
Speeding up their rhythm, Lucifer finished first and pulled out, sweet hot cum following after the king's cock. Leaning against Val's back and reaching around, Luci ran a hot tongue against Val's skin as he took my love's cock in hand. With several expert strokes, Lucifer finished Val off, cum landing messily underneath them.The rough fuck had tears beading in the corners of Val's eyes. I gently grabbed his face and flicked one away. Hmm? I hummed.I'm okay– he rasped, breathing erratically and shifting to lay on his side to recover.Running a gentle claw along his jawline, I leaned back against the headboard and stared at Lucifer.The king stood up on the bed and shot me with his wickedest set of bedroom eyes.I wagged my eyebrows in response, And, sir, how would you like me served?Can you handle me in this form? Lucifer asked seriously, giving his tail a seductive wave.
Yes.

Ohh, such confidence, young man.
Laying down fully, I slightly propped myself up to watch him.Heh– Lucifer laughed lightly. His tail snapped forward, coiling around my leg to lift me sideways. Releasing me, he let me lay down like that with my top leg bent at the knee and fully exposed for him.Mmphh– I breathed into a pillow.He stepped around and hunkered next to me, gently directing my screen toward him and giving my forehead a lingering kiss. Good boy, hmm?Yes, sir– I rasped.Laying a trail of heated, wet kisses down my torso, he followed down to my happy trail and my throbbing, engorged cock. He snaked his tongue around my shaft, sliding from base to tip in one smooth motion and sat back.I clawed wildly at the sheets.Paying attention to my vulnerable hole, Lucifer circled my pucker with a gentle thumb. The king found his lube bottle and slicked things up, getting me to angle and lift as he eased his thick cock deep inside me.Relax, Val whispered against me.Ahh– I breathed, my pucker clenching tight around him. Whoa, Luce! I yelped in something of a panic.Relax, he grumped softly and rubbed at my thigh. Voxxy, easy. Supporting my position with his tail, he slowly got into his rhythm.The fiery sensation of Lucifer's cock coursed through my blood. My eyes watering through the pleasure and pain of him fucking me. In the heat of things, his name dripped from my tongue. My screen momentarily glitched when he sped things up, my head in a fog as he continued thrusting deep inside me.Val held my hand, running a comforting thumb over the top.Finishing at the same time as Lucifer, he filled me with his fiery starcum and pulled out. I tensed all over, my cum landing against my stomach in stellar fashion.Hmm? Lucifer hummed at me, obviously pleased with his own performance. Which, I certainly had no complaints, fuck me– He gave me some time to get myself together before jumping off the bed and giving us a look. Come along, he told us. Shifting back into his regular form, he found his cell and messaged someone.We managed to follow the king toward his en suite. Leaning against me, Val was having issues walking straight, but I felt alright, more or less.Lucifer's attendant appeared in the room and gave us a look. Not needing instructions, the gold-scaled Hellborn had several others enter the room to tidy up.Entering Lucifer's vast bathroom and showering, we washed away the sweat and sex and made our way back into Lucifer's room. I got into my boxers, Lucifer dressed in some lounge wear, and Val continued to waltz around naked.I'll have dinner brought up. What would we like? Luci asked.Steak and potatoes? I suggested. I need some protein after that. I'm starving.The king held one of Val's hands, walking him toward the changed bed. Sounds good to me–Val sat square on the bed's edge and every hair on his body seemed to stand on end. Fffuck, he hissed.You like your steak medium, correct, darling? Lucifer questioned my love, giving Val's hand a gentleman's kiss.Val held onto the bed like the room was spinning, Medium... Yes.Mine, rare, I interjected. Mooing.Yes, Voxxy, I know, Lucifer replied. The king left Val to me and grabbed his cell, putting our order in with his kitchen staff. He tossed his phone on the nightstand and glanced around, Where is the TV in this room? I haven't been here in years.I left Val laying in bed and crossed the room to look outside the balcony's French doors. The sky was overcast and the evening clouds were glowing a soft red. Hell's ancient silhouetted trees made-up the skyline. What circle is this? I asked Lucifer.
We're outside Pentagram City.
Leaving the glass doors and approaching the foot of the bed, I pointed toward a remote that was sitting there, Luci?That's it, Lucifer said and answered a phone call at the same time. Uh-huh, he said into his cell and pushed a button on the clicker. A large flat screen swiveled and lifted from under the bed and positioned itself into a prime viewing position at the foot. What?! he snapped at the phone and turned on the TV. Flipping through the channels and finding a Demonwives Lust episode, he gave me the remote and flittered some fingers around, wordlessly inviting me to get in bed with Val. Loudly bitching into his phone, he crossed the room and exited, closing the door behind himself.Is this what you want to watch? I asked Val, hoping it wasn't.Val didn't answer but his eyes were watering.Raising some eyebrows, I gave him a look, You okay?Not replying, he shifted and winced.I hunkered next to the bed and took his hand in mine, Look, your favorite show is on, right?Yeah– he rasped. Yes, I want to watch. It's the new episode.
Alright.

You seem fucking dandy after Lucifer fucking you... Asshole.

No, not exactly– These little electric shocks keep radiating around my pucker, so there's that.
Shut up, my show is on, Val grumped and grabbed the remote from my hand, turning up the volume.Darling, I said and kissed at his head.He clicked his tongue at me.Rolling my eyes, I stood upright and walked around to get in bed on the opposite side. I settled in next to Val and focused on the show.Without looking, he ran a loving hand across my chest and let it rest there.Sorry, Lucifer apologized, joining us.Everything okay? I asked.He laid next to me and pinched at the side of my screen, giving me a jostle before letting go, Nothing pressing, young man.Watching TV for awhile and grabbing our food from Lucifer's attendant when he entered the room, the gold-scaled Hellborn bowed out and left us to ourselves.We finished eating and another episode of Demonwives started. Shortly, Lucifer left the room with another phone call. I eyed Lucifer as he re-entered the room.Sorry, I'm trying to put out an escalating dumpster fire over the phone, he explained and planted himself into his bedside armchair. Voxxy, get your bloomers off and come here.I thought you didn't want to do it, I frowned.I'm pretty sure that isn't what I said, he replied and answered another phone call, motioning me closer.I approached him apprehensively, knowing these irritating phone calls weren't doing me any favors in this moment.Holding his phone between his shoulder and ear and hooking his thumbs in the seam of my boxers, he pulled them down for me as he snapped at whoever was on the phone. Step out, he told me.My face went lava-fucking-hot as the caller could hear him.He pointed a sharp index finger my way and then toward the nearby nightstand.Obediently, I did as directed and skirted around him to open the nightstand drawer.I've told you what to do, he curtly told the caller.Pulling out a large hairbrush from the nightstand, I suddenly felt some serious pangs of regret. I thumbed at the cool wooden back and brought it over to him. Glancing down, I looked at my very unhappy dick.Lucifer took the brush and pressed the handle end into his knee. Now, look here, everything was setup for you, and you've squandered the opportunity. I warned you about the paperwork requirements for Envy. He rolled his eyes and looked at me, Over.I obeyed, my skin prickling with electric anxiety as I settled into place.Over? What? No, I wasn't speaking to you. Bent over the king's lap with my face propped off the floor in my arms, he pulled at my cheek to get a look at my freshly fucked hole. The room's cool air rushed across my exposed pucker, and a shiver zipped along my spine. What am I supposed to say? It doesn't matter who you are, you pompous shit. Envy has to sign-off on distribution. Letting go of my cheek, he gave the crowns of my ass some stinging pats with the brush's back.I bit at my lip and wondered why I wanted this sort of attention from him.The brush suddenly left my ass and bit into me with a loud CRACK! Leaving an excruciating white-fire burning splotch on my right cheek, I nearly scrambled off Lucifer's lap. He gave me a second CRACK and stinging tears sprang to my eyes.What? What noise? No something fell off a shelf, Lucifer said into the phone and started gently patting my bottom. Yes, TWICE, he informed the caller. Listen, I'll meet you tomorrow and I'll call him, but don't expect any miracles– Right... Yes– Don't call again tonight. Bye then. Hanging up and tossing his cell onto the bed, he started lighting me up.OUCH!! I yelped as the brush bit into me in a fiery onslaught. AH-OUCH!! WAIT!!You're not supposed to like it, Val drawled from bed. Isn't that what you tell me?Lucifer paused a moment, letting me address Val.I managed to angle my screen to look at my love, Every belting I've given you was well-fucking-deserved. Don't start.Some boys need a good spanking to keep their heads clear, Lucifer interjected. Hmm? He gave my ass some love pats with the brush. Isn't that right, Voxxy? Are we clearing your head?
Yes.
Yes, Daddy? Lucifer corrected.Yes, Daddy– I rasped.
Shall we continue?

Yes, Daddy...
CRACK!!My eye twitched and I tried to keep my mouth shut.Laying down a long series of harsh CRACKS, a white fire seared vividly across my ass. Lucifer paused and gave me a jostle, It's okay to cry out, young man.He's playing tough guy 'cause I'm here, Val announced evenly, trying to concentrate on the TV over the ruckus.Moving the brush down, Lucifer concentrated on my sit-spots.Clawing at the floor, I then wrapped a wild arm around his leg as he spanked the daylights out of me. No, NO! I cried out, tears streaming down my face. I'm SORRY!!He brought the brush back up, continuing my spanking. The white fire brush strokes licking at either cheek were beyond excruciating.AHHhhh-owwww!! I wailed.There you go, that's my good boy, Lucifer said, ending things. Rubbing at the fire with a gentle hand, he only succeeded in intensifying the burn. Are you my good boy? Yes, Daddy?I sniffed up some uncontrollable tears, Yes, Daddy–Should Daddy douse the fire now, or do you want to wallow in misery for awhile? I can leave you with that nice warm afterglow. He gave my bottom some love pats, Hmm?O-okay, I hitched.Placing a healing hand flat to my ass, Lucifer took the edge off the beating he'd just applied.I slipped off his lap and submissively laid my face against his knees, crying my eyes out.The king rubbed at my neck, That's my good boy, Voxxy– That's my good boy.

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----

Waltzing into the penthouse, I found Velvette lounging in the living room. Velv shifted a glance my way and focused back on the television.Darling, I greeted her.Eh– she grumbled.I grabbed my arugula and toasted quinoa salad I had waiting for me in the fridge and joined her, And where is Valentino?
Is it my job to keep tabs on him?

No, ma'am. I just wondered if he was in the penthouse or not.
Mmhmm, Velv hummed.
Brat.

Now shush, my spot's on next. That interview with Chic Infernal.
I aggressively stabbed a forkful of salad, Oh yeah, that witch from Envy who was stomping around my tower like she owned the place– Why couldn't it have been a remote interview?
It was for TV, Vox. It looks better in person.
I rolled my eyes.Shhh, she shushed, intensely focused on the television.

Tonight we have an exclusive interview with Pride's own award winning fashion designer and Hell's media mogul, Ms. Velvette.

Velvette grinned wickedly for the camera, Thank you.

Now, let's get right into this. Ms. Velvette, describe what it's like being a Sinner conducting business across Hell, but unable to travel outside the Pride Ring.

There's no need to travel when the business comes to me, Velvette replied. I wouldn't have time for gallivanting across the rings of Hell in any case.

Oh, too important to meet with the masses? Wouldn't want your followers to sully your pretty little dress pleats while worshipping at your feet, hmm?

That's right!

Velvette's eyebrows drifted up into her hairline, Wait, what? She didn't say any of that–

You have a large presence in Hell's social media circles, is that a marketing gimmick to push your fashion line on the denizens of Hell? Your advertising campaigns have been described as aggressive and relentless. When you click off one ad, another consumes the entire webpage and you cannot click out of it.

No, of course not. I–

...And, the interviewer interrupted, by controlling the narrative through media and news outlets, don't you agree you are receiving an unfair advantage over competitors?

I, no, of course– The quality of items I offer are beyond–

Now, it's been reported by your critics that your fashion shows are nothing more than a celebrity soirée, and that the supposed fashion falls flat. Your response?

Well, I–

Umm, sweetheart... I said gently.Velvette's eyes flashed dangerously, They've heavily edited this, Vox. These aren't the questions she asked during the interview!

Ms. Velvette, the interviewer continued, holding her head up with a dominant fist planted under her pointed chin, let's be honest, haven't you saturated Hell's market with your brand? How will other designers emerge when you've left no room for them? Don't Hell's citizens deserve the opportunity to decide the brand of products they purchase?

Haha! Yes, it's all me.

You've been accused of exploiting your employees. How are you working to ensure ethical treatment of your workforce across all your little projects?

MELISSA!! HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU HOW I WANT MY COFFEE! Velvette yelled, then she looked at the interviewer as Melissa arrived with a fresh coffee mug, tears and mascara running down Mel's face. Pointing a thumb back at Mel, Velv grinned, Oh, see, Mel had this little teacup Queef that died of old age yesterday, and she wanted the day off but I needed Mel here. That's why she's crying because of her little puppy-fly. Not because I was yelling just now.

Melissa sucked up some ugly tears, standing at attention next to Velvette until Velv waved a sharp hand for her to go away.

Oh my God, Velvette! I snapped.She quailed slightly at my tone.

Velvette, before we wrap things up, tell us, are you driven by a genuine love of fashion, or is it all about the money and power?

And that's the real SCOOP! Velvette grinned cutely.

The interview ended with that and shifted to a live Envy celebrity newscast.

I feel enlightened! the news personality chirped as he walked on-screen.

A different personality butted in, This just in, folks. As of moments ago, boycotts on Ms. Velvette's products are reportedly taking place across the lower six rings of Hell. Demons are burning her merchandise in the streets. The response from the Hellborn is clear, we will not be manipulated by Pride's unethical business practices, and Pride's Sinners will not dictate fashion to us– Good luck, Ms. Velvette, you're going to need it.

I held the bridge of my non-existent nose, eyes clamped shut, and breathed out a ragged sigh.Vox, that interview was HEAVILY edited, she tried to explain again, getting on her cell and checking social media.Couldn't you have been nicer to Melissa with strangers and cameras in the damn room? I snipped. My screen momentarily glitched, I'm gonna throw someone out the fucking window, I swear to God.
As long as it's not me.
It should be you! I motioned for her to come closer. C'mere, young lady, I kinda-sorta teased, but kept my irate expression and tone.Velv thought I was serious and balked, making no move to be anywhere near me. I'll fix it, Vox. Calm down– she said calmly. We'll release a counter interview from your studio.
Releasing an interview made by us, it plays right into THEIR narrative. That you get away with shit because we run the media and have a heavy influence over everyone– No, I'll have to check what our cameras picked up. We should have the full interview.
An unexpected portal opened in the middle of the living room and Lucifer joined us. Grinning wickedly while waltzing toward me, he nonchalantly gave Velvette's crown a painful THWACK with his cane's apple topper.Holding her head with either hand, her eyes welled with tears.The king swiped my nearly untouched salad and moved to plant himself in my armchair, forking a mouthful of arugula and eating it. How are you numbskulls going to fix this fashion interview nonsense? he asked. You realize when you make Pride look bad, you make Daddy look bad, hmm? Daddy doesn't like to look bad.Lucifer, that wasn't the real interview, they edited it to make me look like a fucking incompetent monster, Velv informed him.It was filmed here in the tower? he asked.Anxiously grabbing the back of my neck, I shifted on the loveseat, Yes, I'll go check the surveillance footage. We should have the full interview.Release the actual interview, but make sure it's edited to paint our Velvette in a good light– I don't know how you'll walk back that part with the crying assistant. He narrowed his eyes toward her, Treat your employees better, that was a bit much, right? Yes, sir?Yes– she rasped, still holding her throbbing head.Yes, sir? he corrected.
Yes, sir...
Lucifer polished off my salad and waltzed over to the bar, sampling some whiskey before shooting me with a little eyebrow wag and portalling to elsewhere.Come on, let's go fix this, I sighed and stood up. I can FEEL us losing money as we sit here doing nothing.She stood up and frowned dramatically.Going down to my basement command center, I pulled all the footage from the room where Velvette was interviewed. Playing it fully, the worst part was with her crying assistant, the rest was a well constructed Q&A.I told you, Velv snipped, sitting next to me.I gently thumbed where Lucifer had thwacked her and watched her wince, Don't worry, darling, I'll fix this. You can go back upstairs and we'll broadcast the real interview in the morning.'Kay, Vel mumbled and stood up, maneuvering around to stride along the command center's catwalk. Looking back and appearing slightly miffed at being dismissed, she exited the room.Alone, I took my cell and shot off a text to Val asking where the fuck he was. When he didn't reply, I got the computer to search the tower for him. The search came up with nothing. Fucking damnit. Velvette fucked up her Envy celebrity interview thing, come down to the basement and keep me company while I fix this shit... I have to edit and then release a new version of the interview in the morning. Watching my cell for a minute, my texts stayed unread. Whatever.Working for hours, especially around the Melissa bit, I had to finally bite the bullet and think about what to do about it. I stretched and stood up, checking my phone. Rolling my eyes, I shifted into my electric form and made my way through the building's power system to land in the tower lobby.It was around 3 A.M., and my lobby cafe was closed until five, but I got back there and made myself an Americano. I planted my ass on the counter and watched the janitorial team working on the floor and windows. Breathing in deeply, I let out a ragged sigh.Did you ever come home? I messaged Val. Why aren't you reading my texts? Are you fucking angry at me for something?I stared at the unread messages.Hmm, I hummed to myself. Okay. Hopping off the counter, I avoided the cleaned floor and shifted back into my electric form, landing upstairs in the penthouse. I found Velv sulking on the couch. I'm almost done editing, I told her. You didn't have to stay up.Leave me alone, she grumped.Ignoring her shitty attitude, I looked at my cell again, I keep texting Val and he hasn't opened any messages.
He's not here.

It's nearly 4 A.M. and he's scheduled to work in the morning.

Are you that worried? He's a big boy. Maybe he needed a break.

A break from what?
She waved an accusatory hand toward me.I narrowed my eyes at her, Watch yourself, young lady.
You're a bit much sometimes.
Yeah, well, so is he, I grumped. So are you. I'm going back down to finish editing your fuck up.She gave her arms an irritated fold and shifted away from me, avoiding eye contact.Leaving her to sulk, I shifted into my electric form and moved through the tower to land back in the basement.I scheduled a text for my assistant to go out at 6 A.M., telling him to purchase the cutest, healthiest, baby teacup Queef he could find, all the supplies for it, and bring everything to the basement command center.Sighing loudly and worrying about Val, I figured that the best spin for the Melissa fiasco was to leave the incident in whole. Then, we'll release something with Velv giving Melissa the baby Queef.Finishing up the new cut, I was going to broadcast it as far and as fucking wide as I could after I put it all together.I went back upstairs and found Velvette asleep on the couch, she'd been crying. Tossing a throw blanket over her, I went to the bedroom and Val was still nowhere to be found. What the fuck? I shot off another text to Val, Tracking implant, prepare your ass. No reply. I scrolled through my unread messages before sending Angel a text, Is he with you?Angel called me instead of replying. Vox, what? he asked, half-asleep.
Why'd you call? I didn't actually want to speak with you.

Oh.

Do you know where Val is?

No...
Go back to bed, I snipped.Yes, Daddy, he mumbled and ended the call.I anxiously grabbed the back of my neck, Fuck. Tired and fucking stressed, I sat in my bedside armchair. I fell asleep by accident and woke up to my Assistant texting me photos of available Queefs at the rescue center when they opened. There was a rare midnight black baby teacup with aqua-blue eyes, so I told him to get that one.Looking behind me, I discovered Val nestled in bed. I shot up and glanced around the room, searching for a non-existent two-by-four to beat the everliving shit out of him, but there were none. Managing to calm my ass down, I approached my love and kissed his sleeping head, he smelled of booze and stale cigarettes.Mmm, Val hummed in his sleep.Was there some reason you couldn't text me last night? I grumbled.
No, sorry...

One simple text saying that you had gone out would have sufficed. I'm not happy, Tino.

Mmhmm– Voxxy, don't be angry.

Well, I am.
He woke up slightly and shifted to look at me directly, Want me to suck you off? Would that make you feel better?
No, I want to belt you until you can't fucking walk straight.

Ughh, come on, Voxxy. Blowing you would be way more fun than an ass beating for me.
I ran a dominant claw along Val's jawline before painfully sticking it in the soft V under his chin, Tino, darling, don't plan on going out tonight, hmm?Yes, Papi– he rasped, gulping anxiously.I removed my claw, Did you hear about the Chic interview with Velvette?Hem– he coughed lightly, calming down. Yes, did you figure out how to fix it already?
I'm taking care of it. Lucifer stopped by, pissed– Let Travis deal with the studio today, get some sleep.
Okay, Voxxy... He eyed me, Don't whip me later.I pinched at his chin and leaned in, our tongues meeting in a heated, wet moment of passion. Breaking away from my love, I entered the walk-in, changed, and left Val to spend his day relaxing.Getting back to work downstairs, I shortly started finishing putting together the full unedited Chic Infernal interview with some additions. I shot a segment introducing the new interview, stating how underhanded the actions of the visiting interviewer were, and how I was appalled by the whole matter. We filmed a clip of Velvette giving her assistant the little Queef. Thankfully, Melissa had a fantastic, heartfelt reaction. Upon release across all our platforms and channels, between the gift and the unedited interview, it proved to garner an immediate response, and redeemed Velv enough to stop the masses of Hell from burning her products in the fucking streets. Fucking lunatics.Alone with Velvette, we were in my basement command center tracking all social media, my system filtering negative content that was being posted by citizens to control the flow and narrative. Velvette, dear, what's the lesson here? I asked.Ugh, Vox, she complained.
Trust no one, right?

Yes, Vox.

YOU set the terms of an interview.

YES, VOX.

Such as, sure they can interview you, but we control filming, editing, and release, or it's a no-go.

YES, VOX!!

Don't you deserve some reprimanding?
No, she grumped.
Alright, I'm done getting after you, are you having dinner with Val and me tonight?

Yes, I'm staying home.
Leaving my command center and escorting Velv upstairs to the penthouse, I found Val sitting in my living room armchair.Papi was sooo busy putting out fires today, probably too tired to whip me now, hmm? Val drawled, tapping his cigarette holder around to send some smokey red hearts toward the ceiling.Valentino, I grumped. I'm never too tired to apply a belt across your ass. You're due anyway.Velv rolled her eyes, Ugh– Really? She turned on the TV and my version of the interview was about to run again.My head news anchor was on-screen and telling the audience how disgusted she was with Envy celebrity news' antics. Disgusted. Outraged. Nauseated. Sickened. The script writer must've broken out the thesaurus.The screen shifted to my announcement as I appeared on the TV.

Hello, Vox of VoxTek. Yesterday, Chic Infernal Celebrity Entertainment of Envy released an interview with Pride's Velvette.

A portal opened in the living room and Lucifer stepped through, the portal closing as he joined us. He gave my side some painful prods with his cane's apple topper. Hmm? he hummed and focused on the television. I've seen it once already.

Much to our astonishment, we found that the interview Chic Infernal released had been HEAVILY edited to the point it was beyond recognition. We are deeply offended and expect a full apology from the producers along with the show's host.

...Not to mention our lawyers are calculating our losses and drawing up papers, I informed Lucifer.Good boy, Lucifer praised me.

Fortunately, we have the interview in full. During the interview you will see a short moment where an employee was treated without sensitivity during the aftermath of a heartbreaking circumstance, but our dear employee Melissa has since been compensated for her hard work and there are no hard feelings between employer and employee.

A cute video played of Velvette surprising Melissa with the baby rescue Queef. Melissa wrapped her arms around Velvette and sobbed incoherently, thankful for the fly-puppy.Aww, that's sweet, Lucifer said.I appeared on-screen again.

And now, we will play the interview in its entirety. We would like to extend our gratitude to our loyal supporters during this hour of darkness and deceit from those we considered allies in Hell's fashion industry.

My cut of the interview played, then the TV returned to regular programming.Nice, Lucifer said, planting himself on the loveseat. Well, what's for dinner?I dunno, but Vox is about to roast my ass, Val grumped. So, I guess we could have that.Is it that difficult to be considerate? I snipped. Is it that difficult to send a text, letting me know you're going out and not coming home until morning? I don't feel that I'm being unreasonable.Lucifer gave Val a slight motion with his index finger, meaning for Val to approach him.Balking in my armchair, every hair on Val's body stood on end.Now, young man, the king said and held out a hand.Val slowly obeyed and stood up, Lucifer, sir, Luci, I'll do what Vox says.
I know you will, we're going to make sure. Now come here.

Voxxy can belt me. I'll bend over if he says, I won't argue.
Lucifer's hand took on a barely visible fiery sheen, Here, now– Let's get you sorted so we can have dinner. If you don't want to obey Vox, you'll deal with me.Val frowned dramatically, Luce, I wasn't...I'll take care of him, I interjected and strode over, grabbing Val's wrist and hauling him toward the bedroom. We'll be back in a few minutes. Leaving Lucifer with Velvette, Velvette and the king immediately struck up a conversation, chatting boisterously, laughing even, about her fuck up before Val and I even reached the bedroom door. Shutting us inside and sighing at Val, I walked him over and deposited him on the bed.You know, you don't have to whip me. I learned my lesson, he grinned wickedly. I'll be a good boy and let you know my every FUCKING move from now on.
Shall I fetch Lucifer?
No, Val balked, his mood shifting all over the place.
No, sir?

No, sir...
Get your pants down and your wings out of my way, I grumped. Striding over and grabbing a thick leather belt hanging from the hook on the walk-in door, I returned to the bed and sat beside him. Amazingly, he was getting in position for punishment without much persuading. He lowered his pants and bent over the side of the bed, clenching his ass cheeks. I laid a comforting hand against his tensed rear, giving his bottom some stinging love pats.I am sorry, he managed.
A quick text back, hmm?

Yes, Papi.

If you're a good boy for the belt, it'll be quick.
Okay– he sighed raggedly.Standing up and reaching between Val's legs, I grabbed him by the balls and pressed a flat hand to his back, forcing him into a better position.Ughh, he complained and knowingly adjusted himself.I pulled at his ass cheek and got a good look at his pucker before letting go. Ready? I asked.He grumbled into the bedding.Giving the belt a fold, the buckle clinked, causing him to flinch. I placed a hand to the small of his back for a moment and watched his breathing. When he'd settled, I shifted back and brought the belt down with a loud CRACK! Directly after and stepping into my swing, I gave him a second searing lick. Thick, red belt marks glowed vividly across his ass.AHH-OUCH!! Val yelped and clawed wildly at the sheets.CRACK!!VOX! That's too hard! he yelled and kicked up a foot.Uh-uh, stop, I drawled and gave him another fiery belt lick.
I'm SORRY!
CRACK!!Val started to sweat and the leather caught viciously at his cheeks. Crying out in pain, he flipped over to protect his ass and held up all four hands.Tino, I'm not done, I grumped. Sitting myself beside my love, I got him to shift his ass toward me as I gently rubbed at the belt marks.
You're whipping me too hard!

You won't die from a belting– You can do almost whatever the fuck you want around here, and I ask for so little, but you still manage to push my buttons. Not even a text saying you'll be home later? Am I asking too much? Really?

No–

Am I? I'm asking seriously.

I said no.
Are you going to let me finish our chat? I asked.Val shifted, Can't you go easy?
No.

Ughh.
I stood up and gave the belt a good refold, and with my free hand, I pressed a heavy palm to the small of his back to keep him in place. Raising the belt, I started lighting him up with a series of fiery lashes.No-no! Val cried out. Sorry! I'm SORRY! AH, VOX!!Whipping him until his cheeks were a mass of glowing welts, and getting some tears of remorse out of him, I tossed the belt toward the closet. Go rinse your face, I said and gave his smoldering backside a light smack to get him moving.I hate you– he rasped tearfully into the blankets.
Would you like a second dose?

No.

Then watch your mouth.
He glanced back at me and set his jaw, some tears spilling the well, Fine. Getting off the bed, britches situated, and gingerly sauntering off to rinse his face, he joined me as we exited the bedroom together.Approaching Lucifer who had commandeered my living room armchair, Val sat his spanked ass on the king's little knee and slumped back to sit beside him, his legs draped over Lucifer's lap, arms hugging at the king's body.I rolled my eyes, hard.Aww, did someone just have a little chat with Papi's belt? Hmm? Lucifer asked gently, giving the back of one of Val's hands a gentleman's kiss. Such a naughty boy.I know, Val replied, grinning wickedly, face red from crying during his punishment.Luci gave the side of Val's whipped ass some stinging love pats, Are you going to behave for awhile?Wincing slightly, Val shifted, Yes, sir.Sighing, LOUDLY, I sat next to Velvette lounging on the loveseat.She threw her legs over my lap and gave me a look, Lucifer and I ordered dinner, it'll be here soon.I shot a smile her way, Thank you for working so hard today.Vox, you did all the work– she rasped, still upset.
No-no, take the compliment, darling, hmm? You always put your all in and certainly didn't deserve what happened.
Okay, Vox, Velv replied, her face going pink as she concentrated on her phone.Weirdly contorting his body to touch Lucifer as much as possible, Val stared over at Velvette, Vel, if my brain wasn't in a fog from being whipped, I'd say something meaningful and supportive too.Thank you, Val, she smiled at him.Is it my turn?! Lucifer asked, animated. Velvette, dear, you're one of Pride's brightest stars. Good work as always.Velvette's face went a deep shade of embarrassed as the king praised her, Thank you, Lucifer.Of course! he grinned.Heh–The food arrived and Lucifer sent Val to fetch it with a meaty slap to the ass. Val about jumped out of his skin, fresh-burning tears beaded in the corners of his eyes. Holding his ass, my love skirted around and went to retrieve our bags of food from my security head. Velv and Lucifer had bought enough food to feed a small-fucking-army.Thank you for bringing the food up, I told my head of security.The gold-scaled Hellborn grinned, No problem, Boss. See you tomorrow. Exiting the penthouse, the security head left us to it.I unpacked the meal and spread it across the coffee table, sitting back and waiting for someone to tell me what was mine.Val wedged himself between me and the coffee table. Leaning in, my love smooched my forehead and gave me my dinner. Hmm?Thank you, Tino, I smirked.Smiling genuinely, Val, gingerly, planted himself next to me as I fed him slices of expensive meat. Love you, he whispered.I took his hand in mine, kissing it, Love you too.

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----

Finishing up a meeting with my department heads, the room went awkwardly quiet as Val waltzed in and planted his ass directly in front of me. Sitting on the conference table, he towered above my head while our eyes locked.I leaned back in my chair and arched an irritated eyebrow up at him, Darling? Papi's in a meeting right now, hmm?May I leave the tower tonight, Papi? Val snarked in a thick accent. Papi is sooo controlling, not letting me leave when I want. He lolled his head toward my employees, Right? Shouldn't I come and go as I please?Heh– I breathed.The department heads didn't give two fucks about Val's self-perceived predicament.Val clicked his tongue at me when the script running in his head didn't fall into place.Waving my guys off, they quickly made their exit as I focused on Val. I gave my love a look, Trying to garner sympathy from people who have zero pull on your plight?I hate you, he grumped.Oh? Say that you hate me one more time today and see what happens, I grinned wickedly. Go ahead.He bit at his lip and furrowed his eyebrows, No.
Good choice– When are you coming home tonight?

Fucking never.

Okay, bye then.

What?!
Bye, I said dismissively and gathered up my shit to leave the room. I'll always give you a wave
when we pass each other in the streets of Pride.
Shut up, Vox.
I stood up with my things and exited the conference room with Val following behind me.I'll let you know where I'm going, and I'll text you when I'm on my way home, Val offered, his tone
shifting to something more reasonable.
Alright.
What?! he snapped, his mood changing again.You're killing me, I said and made my way to the lobby cafe. My regular gal gave me a drink as I
approached the counter.Val waved a dismissive hand toward my barista, not wanting anything.Setting off again, I maneuvered around to take the elevator to my basement command center.Val followed and knowingly pushed the button for the basement.Tino, go out and have a good time, I said with raised eyebrows. Reaching my command center and
stepping out, I turned and looked at him.
I'm trying to do what you fucking want, Vox.

Fuck's sake, and what do I want? I want you to be happy, but don't disappear and then ignore my
texts.
Fine, he grumped. Pressing the elevator button, the doors shut and took him up to the penthouse.Alone, I waltzed along the catwalk and sat in my command center chair glancing across my wall of screens.Getting through the work day, I went upstairs to find Val all dolled up and ready to leave the tower. I
licked at his neck and gave him a love bite before sending him off with a light slap to the ass.Don't worry, I'll be a good boy, he laughed under his breath, side-stepping out of the apartment.Whatever– I breathed to myself, alone. Laying down on the couch and turning on the TV, I was
accosted by a new Real Demonwives episode. Gals were chucking loose salad at each other. Ughhh. I
quickly flipped the channel and found an older movie produced by my studio.Turn it back, Velv said, waltzing out of her bedroom across the way.I crinkled my non-existent nose, Girly, I didn't know you were home.Grabbing the clicker from my hand, she changed it back to the Demonwives episode, Mmhmm.Why this?! I complained loudly.
It's the new episode.

There's always a new episode.
She rolled her eyes, Pfft.Enduring Demonwives, I was messing with my bi-color tourmaline ring and watching the room's lighting catch
at the gemstone.It's like nature made that hunk of stone just for you, Velv mumbled. It's funny the colors;
cyan and red, hmm? Black obsidian band.
Val picked it out for me, that's all that really matters. It could've been green-orange, and set in rose
gold for all I care.

Did you ever tell Val that?

Tell him what?

That disgustingly romantic shit you just spewed. That you treasure the ring because he chose it.
I don't fucking remember everything I've ever told him. I never take it off, that says it all, right?
I gave her a look, You know, I should start butting into YOUR love life. How come you never bring your
dates home? We could go to a restaurant. Wouldn't that be grand?
Yeah, no, and quit deflecting, old man.

Shut up and watch your stupid show.

You shut up.
NO, you– I grumped. I need coffee, want some?Alright, she replied and refocused on the television.Getting coffee and settling back on the loveseat, the night went by quicker when Velv let me choose a movie
to watch with her.Not expecting Val any time soon, I went to bed after awhile and was sleeping when he joined me between the
sheets.I sent you a text, but you didn't read it, Val complained, his naked body against mine.I wasn't worried and went to bed, I replied, more asleep than awake. I knew where you went.
I thought you'd be texting me all night long.

I think you make up bullshit scenarios in your head and think they're real. Like that I keep you locked
away in the tower.

Shut up, maybe I wanted to hear from you.

You could've called and I would've picked up– Did you fuck anyone tonight?

No...

Mmm, good boy.
Tino's breathing changed, his naked body going hot.Shooting him with a grin, I shifted down to lick and suck at a hardened nipple, Hmm?Val grabbed my hand in his, gasping in pain as I purposely lingered too long in one spot.Angled and looking up at him with my wickedest set of bedroom eyes, I ran a wet, hot tongue along his chest
and found my way to his happy trail. Such a good boy, I breathed against him. Are you my good
boy?I try, Voxxy– he rasped as I licked along the length of his rock-hard shaft. I– I try
to be your good boy.Sucking at the precum pouring from his tip, my lips encircled his engorged cock. I slid up to his base, my
hot, wet tongue against him as I went from base to tip.Val's moans filled the room.It didn't take much, sucking and sliding his cock in my mouth. I thumbed at his taint to send him over the
edge, the sweet taste of Valentino shooting down my throat. I swallowed and heat rolled off his body as I
moved to lay next to him. Lovingly, I laid my left hand against his chest while he caught his breath.Val took my hand and stared at the ring on my left index finger. The gemstone glittering in the room's
darkness as we fell asleep.
★★★
Waking up bright and fucking early, I got out of bed, showered, and dressed. I exited the walk-in wearing a
dark suit not yet buttoned, finding Lucifer sitting in my bedside armchair. I narrowed my eyes and gave him
a flat smile.Good morning, sunshine, the king chirped my way.Fuck me– I breathed and maneuvered around to sit on the edge of my bed.
Not right now, darling.
Stretching and giving him a look, I straightened before my posture slumped.Val rolled over behind us, fully asleep.Lucifer pulled a cigarette from his inside pocket and lit it, Voxxy.Luce, I drawled carefully, watching him smoke and trying to catch his mood. What did I do this
time?Putting his cigarette out in the nightstand ashtray, he gave me a nod, Nothing. Wake your boy up.
What did my boy do?

He had a bit of a backslide.
Oh God– I rasped. What did he do?Lucifer grinned wickedly and didn't reply. Reaching over and taking my hand in his, he inspected my
tourmaline ring, It'll be okay. Wake him up, Vox.
Don't kill him...
Narrowing his eyes and arching a wild eyebrow my way, the king scoffed, I'm not going to kill him. Now do
as you're told.An electric anxiety prickled across my skin as I took my hand from the king and leaned back to gently touch
Val's arm, Baby... Lucifer's here.Val's eyes blinked open and his whole body tensed at hearing Lucifer's name.What did you do?! I hissed quietly.Nothing– Val rasped.Tossing up a portal, Lucifer pointed his cane toward us and then toward the portal, Let's go.Standing up, I irritably scruffed Val and got his naked ass out of bed. I gave him a shove and he stumbled
through the portal first.Lucifer popped me across the ass with his cane as we walked through together.Fuck me sideways... I set my jaw and maneuvered out of Lucifer's wingspan to plant myself in his bedside
armchair.Sit on your knees, Lucifer told Val. And don't argue with me.Giving Luci an apprehensive look, Val obeyed and slumped to his knees.Fold your top hands and place them on top of your head, the king directed. Rest your lower hands
on your lap.Val did as he was told, shooting an anxiety-laced glance my way.Luci left Val to go fish around in a nearby dresser. Pulling out a hairbrush and a small ruby-bejeweled jar,
he walked the items over and tossed them on the bed. The king sat on the mattress edge in front of Val and
stared at him.Shifting uncomfortably, Val avoided eye contact and mean-mugged the floor.Keep your back straight, don't slouch, Lucifer snipped.Val adjusted himself, frowning dramatically.Lucifer crossed his legs, giving Val's bare chest a prod with his cane's apple topper, Eyes on me while
you tell Voxxy how you misbehaved.Posture slumping again, Val's hands slipped down to rest on his neck fluff.Keep your back straight and your hands on your head, the king grumbled.Fixing himself, Valentino's mood shifted to something infuriated but when his expression met Lucifer's, the
fire in Val's eyes fizzled.The king reached forward and pinched at my love's chin, roughly jerking Val's head to where Luce wanted it.
Keep in mind who you're looking at, young man, Lucifer said flatly.A noticeable fear settled into Val's brain as he kept eye contact with Luci.The king narrowed his eyes, Angel was bleeding profusely from his head when he returned home last night.
Everyone was upset, they were ready to come for you. You're lucky I was there at the time to keep things
calm. Running a dominant finger along Val's jawline, Luci's anger was evident. Voxxy, what did I say
before? he asked, his tone momentarily shifting to something more jovial.Exasperated, I sighed raggedly and held the bridge of my non-existent nose, That you didn't want blood on
your new carpet.Mmhmm, Lucifer hummed. So, Val, if you won't listen to your Voxxy, what do you think we should
do?Val's breathing changed, anxiety overtaking him.I get my turn at punishing the naughty boy, right? Luci drawled. Isn't that right, Voxxy?Staring at the king, I swallowed hard, my throat aching, skin prickling with electric anxiety.Luci motioned for me to approach him, Voxxy, here.Fuck he's so pissed... Reluctantly hauling my ass out of Lucifer's chair, I sidled up next to Val and gently
rubbed at my love's nearest arm.Val was shifting around, wincing, but more or less staying in position.Lucifer ignored him and grabbed the little red jar. Opening the lid and slipping two fingers inside, he got
a good dollop of the contents. The glittery gel was a reddish color. Vox, pull your pants down and bend
over.What is it? I asked and frowned, unbuttoning my slacks. There wasn't any point of arguing, pleading
my case, or trying to get out of whatever punishment Luce had decided on. What are you gonna do to me?
Punishment for the boy who can't keep his house in order.

You aren't going to tell me what that stuff in the jar does?

I'll tell you that it's hot, but it won't cause any damage– Get your bloomers down and bend over my
knee.
Irritably crinkling my non-existent nose at Valentino, I slipped my boxer briefs down to reveal my very
unhappy dick and moved to bend over Lucifer's knee. Lucifer pulled at a cheek to expose my vulnerable
pucker. A rush of the room's cool air swept across the area. Immediately slathering my hole and easing his
two fingers deep inside, he massaged the gel into me. Everything felt good for a moment until a vibrant burn
settled in wherever he'd spread it. I panicked from the fiery sensation and clawed at the duvet.
Lucifer! I yelped.Lucifer let go of my cheek and gave my ass a meaty slap, Pull your britches up and go sit in my
chair.Yes, sir– I managed, sweating all over. With my asshole on FUCKING fire and fighting back
tears, I stood and got my underwear and pants situated, leaving the king to sort out Val by himself.
Luce, it fucking burns! I bitched, electricity crackling around my body.
Yes, dear. It's a punishment.
My arms are falling asleep, Val mumbled miserably.I tried to calm myself and shot Val with an angry side-eye, attempting to shift my weight to alleviate the
heat but there was no escape. The deep burn was excruciating. Lucifer...So much whining from my boys, Lucifer laughed under his breath, obviously amused at our suffering.
Vox, go sit like you were told.Not wanting to move another fucking step with fire radiating around my hole, my screen glitched again and
electricity momentarily crackled around my entire body. The heat going to my head, I sucked in a sharp
breath and eyed the armchair.Sit, Lucifer snipped.Obeying, I eased myself down and seated myself. I frowned as the heat seemed to intensify, sweat beading on
my chest, my face lava hot. Withdrawing a cigarette from my breast pocket, I lit the end and took a drag.Lucifer ran a gentle hand along Val's jawline, It's difficult for you, isn't it, Val?Val furrowed his eyebrows and frowned.Obeying me is difficult for you, the king continued. But you're going to learn, aren't you? Stand
up and bend over. He grabbed his hairbrush and a barely noticeable fiery sheen flashed across the hard
wooden back.Standing up, Val was unsteady as he positioned himself over Lucifer's lap, letting the bed hold most of his
weight.Are you sorry? Lucifer asked, giving Val's bottom some stinging love pats with the brush's back.
Angel is no longer yours to beat and fuck. Hasn't it been made clear that things have changed?Val snuggled in and got comfortable for his inevitable ass beating, grabbing a pillow, But Angel can talk
to me however he wants? In front of people?
Yup, and you can speak all you want right back, but hands off.
You have to use your fucking words, Val, I put in my two cents, becoming increasingly infuriated.
Why can't you fucking listen to me?!Lucifer laughed lightly, Calm down, Papi.I irritably settled into the armchair, fire viciously licking at my pucker. Calm down? Fuck me.Did you hear Papi? the king asked Val.Yes, Val grumbled into the pillow. I know what you both want. I'm not stupid, Lucifer.Thumbing at the brush's hard wooden back, Lucifer frowned, Nobody said you were stupid. He brought
the brush up and brought it down with a sharp CRACK!AH!! my love yelped as a rosy splotch blossomed where the brush had bitten him.Lucifer, laying down a series of white-fire brush strokes to either cheek, paid no attention to the stinging
tears suddenly streaming from Val's remorseful eyes. Are you learning your lesson?Yes, Val sobbed. CRACK!! AHH-OWWWwww! I'm SORRY! Writhing over the king's lap, the wiggling
did nothing to hinder Lucifer's aim. The loud CRACKS and Val's crying filled the room, making my head swim.Be still, Lucifer warned, pausing to let Val catch his breath. Naughty boy, hmm? the king
hummed and rubbed at the fire glowing vividly across Val's cheeks. And some boys need a good spanking to
remind them how to behave. Are you going to behave now? Yes, sir?Val clawed at the bedding, coping with the pain, tears streaming, Y-yes, sir.Up you get, Lucifer grinned wickedly and gave Val's ass a meaty slap with his hand.At the contact, Val about hit the roof and scrambled off Lucifer's lap. He maneuvered away from the king,
leaning against the headboard with his smoldering ass on the bed.Maybe Angel needs a fucking vacation I grumped. The fire around my pucker naturally simmered down, allowing me to think properly. Maybe you two shouldn't be around each other for awhile.Val shot me with a gut-wrenching expression.Frowning, I shifted.Lucifer waved the brush toward me before standing up, He's been punished, Voxxy. No torturing the boy.
That's my job, ha!Taking a long drag, I smoked my cigarette down to the filter and focused on Lucifer.Well, what's for breakfast? Lucifer asked jovially, returning his jar of FUCKING fire-lube and the
hairbrush to the dresser. I'll just have the kitchen make a bit of everything, he said and sent a
text to someone.Getting up from Lucifer's armchair, I joined Val on the bed. Taking his hand in mine, I gave him a
gentleman's kiss.Lucifer hits harder than you, Val informed me, his voice rough from crying and sniffing up lingering tears. The heat was radiating
off his spanked-red ass.Should we test it, hmm? I asked, becoming angry again. Come here and lay over my lap, you'll be
squealing until you lose your fucking voice, fucking believe me.Lucifer joined us on the bed, Voxxy, stop being a dick. Slipping behind Val, he leaned his back
against the headboard.Upset, Val moved to lay his head on the king's lap and settled his burning cheeks over my lap, wanting my
attention.And I wonder why I'm being a dick, Luci with your fucking fire-lube, I grumped. Gently massaging at
the flames across Val's ass, my anger wavered and I gave my love a sympathetic look as fresh tears filled
his eyes.You're being, the king waved a hand toward my aura, a lot. Knock it off or I'll tax you so far
into poverty that you won't recover in a thousand years.Shifting, my anger completely fizzled and I swallowed hard, Sorry, Daddy.Mmmhmm, Lucifer hummed. Grabbing Val's face and thumbing away a tear, their tongues met in a wet,
heated kiss. The king pulled away from Val first and reached for me, my face going lava hot as I leaned in
to meet him. You took your punishment well, Voxxy– he whispered before kissing me with his
usual fiery passion. Luci's tongue sliding hotly against mine made my mind go to fuzz. Breaking apart, he
smooched my forehead and returned to babying Val, whispering silly jokes into my chastised boy's ear and
making him laugh.Are you going to smooth things over in your house? I asked Lucifer. Or do I need to do something
for Angel?Lucifer was rubbing a soothing thumb between Val's eyes, I took care of everything. Just keep on our boy
here. Yes, Daddy?Yes, Daddy– I rasped.Good boy, Lucifer drawled, shooting me with his wickedest of grins.

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----

Angel was anxiously fidgeting around the tower's foyer cafe as I approached him from behind. Putting a gentle hand against his back, I tensed up all over as he jumped a fucking mile.Whoa! Angel yelped and turned around.Calm down, fuck's sake, I snipped, recoiling away from him and putting a hand to my startled chest. Glancing the star over, whatever physical damage Val caused last week wasn't visible under Angel's spider fuzz.Sorry, Angel frowned.I flittered some fingers toward my barista.Giving me a nod in return, she poured a coffee and gave it to me.Dear, I said toward Angel and linked arms with the star, leading him away from the cafe and through the lobby. Angel, darling, aren't you supposed to call me if Val is getting out of control? Don't you remember when I told you that?Angel shifted, I mean, the whole thing was blown way outta proportion.
Oh?

Everyone at home, they just, ya know, they're paying a lot of attention lately.
God you stress me out– I breathed before downing my entire coffee... Pulling away from my cup, I sucked in a deep breath, Are you listening to me? You're stressing me out. He cannot hit you.
Don't you mean Val is stressing you out?

No, you in particular are stressing me out. Nobody around here listens to a damn thing I say.
My assistant appeared and shoved a work order my way that needed an e-signature.When's the shipment arriving? I asked and gave my assistant the empty coffee cup.Wednesday next week, first thing– Assistant Boy said, arching an eyebrow toward Angel. Re-focusing on me, my assistant's eyebrows drifted up into his hairline.I waved him off, You have work to do. Go. Text me when that lawyer hauls his lazy, hemming-and-hawing ass into the conference room.Yes, sir, my assistant mumbled and sauntered off toward the admin offices.Alone with Angel, I narrowed my eyes at him, Well? You know what, I think I need to hire you each a handler. How am I supposed to get shit done if I'm constantly worrying about you and Val being around each other? I'm about to have a nervous-fucking-breakdown.Angel rolled his eyes, Calm down, Vox.
Calm down?

Me and Val, we're fine.

...Let's go up to the penthouse.

Why?

So I can chuck you out the FUCKING window.

No thank you.

Why did you even come in today?

I'm on the schedule.
Oh my God– I'll take you to the studio. Come on, I grumped and started steering the star toward the elevators.Escorting Angel to Val's studio, he scampered off to his dressing room while I scanned around for Val.
Nobody was here yet.Pour me a whiskey! I hollered to Angel as I sat in one of Lucifer's armchairs. The king had brought the seating into Val's porn studio one day, for his convenience, and then forgot about them.Waltzing out naked, Angel brought me a crystal tumbler filled with golden liquor, Here's your breakfast, Daddy.Go get dressed, fuck's sake, Angel, I snipped, taking the glass.
Nothing you haven't seen before.

Stop it.
He crinkled his nose at me, My opening outfit won't be covering much of anything, soooo...
You know, I still feel like chucking you out the window. Are you testing me or what?
No, the star clicked his tongue.
Go get dressed. Do as you're told.
Whatever, he grumped and stalked back to his dressing room.A sharply-dressed Valentino jovially burst into the room. Not expecting me, he jumped when our eyes locked.My eyebrows drifted up into my non-existent hairline. Angel's here, I informed him. I think he should have a vacation. You two should be separated for awhile. I don't care what Lucifer says.I have a schedule to keep, believe it or not, Val sneered, getting pissed.
Uh-huh. Sure.

He doesn't need a vacation. Another... incident... it won't happen, Vox. I'll control myself.

Tino, you've said that again and again and again, so I'm supposed to believe you this time?
Angel joined us, wearing something scandalous, and gave me a look before focusing on Val, So, we're going tonight after work, right?I arched a sharp eyebrow toward them, Don't either of you think you're doing anything together after work.
New club is having a soft opening. Val knows the owner.
And YOU don't know the owner, Angel?! I snapped. Yeah right. Go by yourself! Or take one of your little friends! You have plenty of people in your life.
Me and Val, we know the owner, so we got invited.

Angel, Val is not going. You'll have to go without him.
What do you mean I'm not going? Val grumbled.
You're staying home tonight. I couldn't be more clear.
Rolling his eyes, Angel placed some protective hands on Val to put space between Val and me, You can't control him like this, Vox.The Hell I can't. He's not setting a foot outside the tower until he learns not to fucking hit you, I
replied evenly, sitting on Luci's throne chair and irritably crossing my legs. I wagged my foot as the boys stared at me. You know, protecting him from me, is only ticking me off more. I'll haul him into your dressing room right now to have a private chat. Checking my cell when a text came in from my assistant, I downed my whiskey and returned the glass to Angel. Behave yourselves today, I'm not joking, I said and stood up, leaving them to work.Going downstairs and meeting with the lawyer, the experience was excruciating and long. The demon didn't say anything that I didn't already know, and he droned on slowly, words flowing from his mouth like cold molasses. I know enough about this shit that I could be a fucking lawyer myself at this point, I swear to God....And we'll need to file forms with the Hell Tax Authority for...And P-7379 section 89C-9A, the
lawyer drawled on-and-on. ...And we'll need ... King Lucifer ... Lust Ring penalties ... Distribution of goods, namely Mr. Valentino's adult films ... We'll need to secure official documents for ... And Ms. Velvette's Elixirs ... Greed ... Conversion tax ... Acquisition of real estate ... Liquidation of businesses ... The Hell Tax Authority requires...With one elbow planted on the conference table, I held my head up to stare at him directly. I really am in Hell, I informed him. You are my personal Hell, old man.I'm doing my job, sir, he snipped back.
I want your battle plan written out and in my hands by end of day. I want to know what you're doing, the clear deadline for each action, and when YOU and your team will have it completed. Got it? Go. Get busy.
Wide-eyed and pissed, the lawyer bellied out of the room.My assistant side-stepped around him as they passed each other in the doorway, bringing me a fresh cup of coffee.Assistant Boy, it took you an awful long time to fetch me some coffee, hmm? I hummed irritably.Sorry, I was trying to avoid the lawyer, Assistant Boy replied honestly. He's my least favorite on the team.
Next time you'll be sitting with him while I go get the coffee.
Crinkling his nose, my assistant didn't like the sound of that.Yes, sir? I corrected his silence.He shifted, Yes, sir.Laughing lightly, I stood up and gathered my things to leave, What do you want for lunch?My assistant's face went a bright shade of red.I arched a sharp eyebrow his way, Figure out lunch for us and bring it down to my command center.
Okay...
Good boy, I drawled and exited the room without him.Meeting my assistant downstairs and eating lunch together, the remainder of my day was a mess of meetings and video calls.My work day ended and I settled into my command center chair. I got into the security system and found Val's studio shut down for the night. Searching the tower for Val, the cameras gave me nothing. I grabbed my phone and sent Val a text, Darling, where the FUCK are you?No answer.I swear to fucking God.Shooting out another text, I was fucking pissed, You better be in this fucking tower somewhere or Lucifer help you.Val replied, I'm not in the tower.Sucking in an infuriated breath, I let it out slowly. I didn't send him another text but instead pocketed my phone. Shifting into my electric form, I entered the building's power system and landed in the penthouse living room.He sent another text, Hmm? No reply, Papi? Oh, don't be angry, Voxxy. I'll be a good boy while out of
your sight.Ignoring my love, I didn't need to say anything. I ordered dinner for myself and lounged around the living room, watching TV and keeping an eye on my cell. Val was having a meltdown over text without a word on my part. He became more frantic as the night went on, ringing me repeatedly. I picked up on call five around midnight, Yes?Why haven't you answered all night?! Val snapped.
Oh? Go have a good time, I'll see you whenever you decide to come home.

I'm coming home now.

Alright.

What do you mean, alright?

You know exactly, but let's not delve into it now. We'll have a long chat when you get home.

I don't want to chat when I get home.

Ohhh, well, you should've thought about that before disobeying me, hmm?

Vox, I didn't– Angel–
Ah-ah-ah, I tutted lightly. Your thing with Angel is not the issue here. We'll discuss this when
you get home.Yeah, well, we'll see about that, Val grumbled.Oh? I grinned wickedly into my cell. Is that right?He answered with silence.I adjusted my positioning on the loveseat, See you shortly–Bye, he snipped and ended the call first.Turning the TV to the security cam, I watched as the driver eventually dropped Val off at the tower's front
entry. He stood outside for a moment, staring into the camera before striding through the lobby doors. My cameras followed him, showing his route. Making his way upstairs, he arrived in front of the penthouse and stood there with all four hands planted on his sides and hips. The boy's shoulders slumped and he put his arms down in defeat. I turned the TV off and after a moment, he entered the apartment.Did you have a good time? I asked. Holding out a hand, I motioned him closer.Yes, Val grumped and maneuvered over to front me.Laying on the loveseat and staring at my love, I took his hand in mine. Would it have killed you to stay home? I asked.Narrowing his eyes down at me, a cold glare spread across his face.I kissed at Val's hand, So, Tino, I tell you to stay home, and then you just do whatever you want?
Yes.

Mmhmm. And you understand that I'm not angry about Angel, it's about you not doing as you're told–
Val yanked his hand back and gave his arms an irritated fold.Do you understand? I questioned.Yes, Val seethed.
So, what should we do?

We should fuck.
I sat up and gave my knee a pat, Get your pants down.Ughh, Val complained but obediently started working the fly on his britches. Shoving his pants toward his ankles, he stepped out and all but threw himself across my lap. He let the loveseat hold the majority of his weight and got comfortable.Pulling at a cheek, I moved Val's thin bikini string to the side and got a look at his pink little pucker. I
let go and gave his bottom some stinging love pats.Ughh, he complained again. I'm sorry, alright?
You should be obedient in the first place instead of being sorry later. Yes, sir?

Yes, I hear you.
Hmm? Yes, sir? I corrected.Yes, sir– he rasped submissively.I brought my arm up and gave his bottom a sharp slap.Hissing and grabbing a throw pillow, he nestled into it.Giving Val a long series of stinging slaps to either cheek, I paused and gave his warmed bottom a gentle rub. Belt or brush? I questioned.He sighed raggedly into the throw pillow.Stand up and bend over the loveseat's arm, I drawled.Balking, he slumped his hand-spanked bottom off my lap and onto the floor, laying his head on my knee, Voxxy–I know, I said and lovingly thumbed between his eyebrows.
Don't whip me.

You're getting a couple licks for disobeying me. I told you to stay home.

Ughh, I hate you.

Mmhmm.
Eres un cabrón, he said in a thick accent.
I know, I'm the worst– Should we whip some of this obstinance out of you?
You said just a couple licks! he snapped and bit at my knee.I winced slightly as Val let go of me, and he pecked lovingly where he'd bitten. Sighing, I shifted, And
then you started mouthing off, right?Whatever, Val grumbled and abruptly stood up. Maneuvering around, he put his wings to the side and bent over the loveseat arm. Go ahead. Beat me.Rolling my eyes and getting to my feet, I pulled at his pinkened cheek and touched a light static claw to his vulnerable pucker.Val jumped a mile at the momentary sensation, AH! VOX!
Behave then.
Submitting, he re-positioned himself, Yes, Papi...I unbuckled my belt and gave the thick leather a fold. Setting myself up to give him a good whipping, I helped him adjust slightly. Raising the belt and bringing it down with a loud CRACK, I watched as a vivid-red mark seared across his ass.AHhh-ouch! he gasped, clenching his cheeks.Mmhmm, I hummed and gave him a second CRACK.
AHh-owww.
Stepping into my swings and not giving him time to catch his breath between each fiery lash, I shortly had him yelping and clawing at the loveseat.Vox!! That's too hard!! Val cried out, stinging tears flowing freely.
Maybe you'll learn to behave then.
CRACK!!
AH-OWWWwww!
CRACK!!I'm SORRY! he sobbed.I gave Tino a long series of painful lashes and paused to rest my hand against the burning welts. Are you ready to obey me? I asked.Sobbing, his answer was incoherent and muffled against the throw pillow he'd stuffed under his head.Rubbing his back as he cried himself out, I stepped back and started threading my belt back on.Why'd you whip me so hard?! he rasped, getting a handle on his tears. Vox, I said sorry.Naughty boys get whippings, I replied and gave his thrashed bottom a love pat.At the contact, he nearly jumped out of his skin.Pulling at a cheek, I thumbed at his pucker and let go, Stay bent over until I release you.He breathed raggedly, taking a moment to answer, Yes, Papi–Sitting in my armchair and giving him time to reflect, I watched Val fidgeting in place and feeling sorry for himself, his red cheeks on full display. After a few minutes, I couldn't stand his suffering a moment longer. I kept a steely gaze as our eyes locked, not revealing my true feelings. I gave Val a slight hand gesture for him to stand up, Baby, c'mere.Val longed for my touch, for me to show him affection after a punishment, to let him wallow in my undivided attention. Standing up and moving to front me, Tino slumped his body onto my lap, hanging some arms around my shoulders as I hugged him.I gently held his smoldering ass while we melted into each other. Our wet, hot tongues meeting in a moment of fiery passion. Val pulled away first, his face glowing.With my free hand, I took his head and smoothed his eyebrows, Love you.Love you too, Val rasped, his voice rough from crying.

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----

Vox

Pride's clear skies cast their deep red glow over the busy streets of Pentagram City. The color gave one the unsettling feeling of a blood mist drifting on the air. On a rare day, our sky would lighten and clear slightly, while other days were dripping in color, where the red was damn near palpable. The color likened to a beast of Hell itself, filled with personality and desires; calling me closer with the slightest of seductive whispers, its razor-sharp claws passionately tightening around my throat—Perhaps the red was an entity of Hell. You know, who's to fucking say? Not me in any case.I stood in front of the tower, enveloped by the devil-red air caressing my body while waiting for my driver to pull around with the car. Drained; mentally, physically, I no doubt needed a break from my grueling schedule and let my posture slump slightly with nobody around except the judgmental red air.Pulling up to the curb, my long-time driver exited the vehicle and walked around to open my door.Took you long enough, I grumped.It took as long as it took with no heads-up, the sinner replied curtly. 'Boss'.Don't you Boss me in that tone, I grumped and got in. I'll feed you to my fucking sharks.He grinned wickedly, Then do it, Mr. Vox.
...Shut up. I need to get across town, and you'd give them indigestion anyway. Let's go.
Uh-huh, my driver drawled and shut my door.Rolling my eyes, hard, it was only a moment before the car lurched forward as I sent Val a text.No reply.Fucking damn him.Arriving uptown, the red air had ominously followed the car. It swirled violently around my body as I exited the vehicle. Standing in front of Lucifer's office building, the highrise loomed over me. Dark, foreboding, only the bright lights of a single floor were glowing to signal that anyone was inside.I cleared my throat and adjusted my necktie. Hesitating a moment, and then walking through the front doors, I sucked in a sharp breath.Upon entering the foyer, the building's regular dragon-type Hellborn greeted me with a crinkle of his nose and a flick of his monstrous tail. The demon's gold scales shimmered in the dimmed lighting as he settled into his armchair. Dressed in a bright-colored three-piece suit, it attractively fit his voluptuous figure. A fat stogie was hanging haphazardly from the side of his mouth. Taking in a deep drag and blowing a ring of golden smoke my way, the smoke glittered demonically as it collided with my screen. King's pissed— the dragon grumped and nodded for me to get going.Fuck me.Knowing the way, I waltzed through and found Lucifer in his conference room. He sometimes used the room as an office and seemed to like working in the peace it offered. I was greeted with an extra sharp eyebrow from the king. Luce, I got your summons but— I started.He placed a finger to his lips for me to shush, then refocused on his work. Stamping an official document with his seal, one of his assistants whipped inside the room to fetch it. The assistant quickly departed, leaving me alone with the pissed off king.Receiving a thorough ass-chewing for a recent business proposal I was attempting to make with someone I didn't know was on his-fucking-majesty's shit list, I was relieved when Lucifer dismissed me physically unscathed. I exited the king's office building and the red air greeted me outside, seductively licking at my body, comforting me after the stressful encounter. Kissing at my bi-color tourmaline ring, the red-and-cyan gemstone took on a slight glow in the red air's presence.The fuck is this red air?When I entered my car and shut the door, I watched the red air desperately swirling and twisting outside, upset that I had separated myself from it.Home? my driver asked, disrupting my thoughts.Uh, no— I eyed the red air for another moment before checking my phone. No, we're going to head somewhere else, I said, checking where Val had last used my credit card.
★★★

Valentino

The club was loud and drowning out my current mood. Lights flashing, liquor flowing, surrounded by fucking nobodies; I wanted to be free for just a little while. Free of everything and everyone. Work, a partner, free of keeping my hands off Angel-Fucking-Dust; the stress had been building up for awhile. Nobody cares that I get stressed. Nobody gives a fuck.I'd downed another drink when a rogue Angel sauntered into my line of sight. Fucking damnit. Is he fucking stalking me? Grabbing a fresh drink from my server, I watched as that bitch Angel walked over and took it from my hand. Bitch knows I'm not allowed to touch him. Vox has been itching to light my ass up for weeks, so I've had to be on my best-fucking-behavior—Val, listen to me— Angel tried.Now fucking Angel's here and yapping. I just wanted some time for myself. He's going on-and-on. Fraggle Rock muppet. Blah-blah-blah. Heh....Are you listening to me?! Angel snapped over the thumping bass.No, I'm not listening to you— I drawled, sitting back in the booth. Leave me alone. Taking a drag from my cigarette holder, I blew a stream of red smoke toward the rafters.The pink chain appeared out of nowhere; our link, our connection, my ownership of him. ... Making a slick move, he wrapped the chain around his hand and jerked me out of the booth. The chain bound to my palm as I gripped at it, forcing me to follow him. I tried to resist but Angel somehow had the upper hand and hauled my ass all the way outside. This chain can work both ways, he grumbled as we stood on the sidewalk. You WILL listen to me.Fucking brat. Looking away from him, I put my cigarette holder to my lips. From the end, red smoke twisted and spiralled violently in the light breeze. Without warning, I suddenly cinched up the chain and jerked him toward me.Angel caught himself from falling and yanked the chain back in his favor.Little shit, I grumbled.The chain's presence dissipated.Don't you little shit me, he chided. Where have you been? You haven't been in the studio for days.
Yeah, so what? You tired of Trav?

Yes, actually. I don't work for him, I work for you. Does Vox know you've been playing hooky?
I narrowed my eyes and took another long drag, blowing the smoke toward Angel, He's been busy with some business deal. I don't know.My phone started ringing for the upteenth time tonight.Who's calling you? Angel asked.
I don't fucking know.

Shouldn't you look at who it is?

Shouldn't you mind your own business?
He raised his eyebrows, When's the last time you got laid? You're acting fucking awful.If I backhand you, Voxxy will beat my ass, I thought out loud to myself. Maybe hitting you would be worth some belt licks. Maybe fucking you would be worth whatever punishment Papi can dish out.Oh? Vox questioned, appearing out of nowhere.A sudden sharp, electric current circulated through my entire body. The breath knocked out of me, I couldn't think past the pain. AHHH!! I screamed when the current let up. My knees buckling underneath me, I fell to the sidewalk.Stay down or I'll light you up again! Vox snapped.I sucked in a ragged breath, not able to stand even if I wanted to. Electric static was crackling across my neck fluff.Vox grabbed Angel by the chin and looked him over, Did he hit you?Vox, I didn't fucking touch him! I managed to snap.Shifting in Vox's hands, Angel gave him a look, Vox, stop, I'm fine.I felt like blowing up, Vox, why are you more worried about him than me?! I'm here on the fucking ground!Vox rolled his eyes and let go of Angel, Did you come here together? What the fuck are you two scheming this time?Holding the back of his neck, Angel rolled his shoulders.Let's go, Voxxy said. Leaving Angel and helping me stand, he motioned to his driver.I leaned heavily against my love and sneered down at him, but let him guide me to the car as the driver pulled along the curb.Angel followed and got into the car with us.—Uh, yeah, I guess we can take you home, Vox started with raised eyebrows. But I don't want to speak with anyone over there, so prepare to tuck and roll as we barrel past your driveway.Clearing his throat, Angel ran a seductive hand along my thigh while eyeing Vox, Well, no, Vox, I was think'n, let's all go to the tower—To the penthouse.I carefully glanced at Vox who was giving Angel a flat look.Boss, where to? the driver chirped from up front.Hem— Vox cleared his throat. Just a moment.Vox, you don't wanna have some fun tonight? Angel asked.
Heh, I don't need you for THAT—Is this a cry for help or something? What is this?
Angel's expression shifted and he clenched his jaw.Vox leaned back, Why were you here together?The star rolled his eyes, We weren't here together.
Well, then, why are you running around by yourself? I don't like that either. EITHER of you.
Pissed and aching from being fucking barbequed, I glared over at Vox, Can we just take him HOME, so we can go HOME?!Tino, keep yelling at me and see what happens, he grinned wickedly. Go ahead, my love, yell at me one more time tonight.I balked and didn't bother responding.Vox suddenly honed onto Angel rubbing my thigh, his eyes following the motion. I need a fucking drink, he sighed and turned away from us, maneuvering around to get inside the mini fridge. He found some whiskey and took a single swig of chilled liquor from the bottle, shoved it back inside the fridge, and nodded toward the driver, Take us to the tower.Yes, Boss, the driver said.Leaving the club and arriving home, Vox steered us upstairs to the penthouse.One of you make Daddy a drink, Vox grumbled and waltzed away to enter our bedroom. Some strange red aura was following Vox around... What the... Was that outside the club too?Uhh, I breathed, trying to ignore the weird-ass red air following Vox. Angel, why'd you invite yourself over? I snipped when we were alone.Angel rolled his eyes, What's your problem? I probably got you out of an ass beating.
What?! You know you're why he barbequed me outside the fucking club.

That's because he heard you running your mouth—But running around town and not working? That sounds like something that would get you in trouble.

That's none of your business.

Go fix him a drink.
Bossing me around, fucking twink, I seethed, irritably clenching my jaw and waltzing over to the liquor. Pouring Vox a tumbler of whiskey, I sipped some off the top before leaving the kitchen bar and waltzing along to enter the bedroom.Angel, beside me, was shedding his clothes along the way.The lights were dimmed low and Vox was planted in his bedside husband chair. Smoking, he held out his hand for the drink I'd poured.Here, Vox, I grumped.Taking the drink, my love sampled it before setting it aside. He tapped his cigarette over the ashtray and gave me a disapproving look.A naked Angel settled on our bed, sitting on the edge with his legs crossed and wagging an impatient foot.Tino, Voxxy drawled.I stopped myself from mouthing off, knowing Vox wasn't in the mood. Turning around and pulling my wings to the side, I glanced over my shoulder at him.Vox stood up and unzipped my dress, helping me out of it. Good boy– he rasped against me, giving my bare ass some love pats. Get on the bed with Angel.Still angry at Vox, I sneered down at him. My neck fluff was still filled with static.Go on, Vox directed and settled back into his chair.Obeying him despite my thoughts, I sauntered over and roughly shoved at Angel, slipping myself onto the bed.Voxxy took a long drag of his cigarette. He stared at us, the red aura from before circled and spiralled around his body. The red seemed to be flowing from his tourmaline ring.What the fuck is that?! I asked abruptly.Angel and Vox glanced at each other.What's what? Vox asked.Taking my glasses off and rubbing my eyes, the weird red air wasn't there when I looked again. Uh, nothing, I mumbled. Am I seeing shit?Angel, look at Daddy, Vox said smoothly. Their eyes locking, he motioned Angel closer, C'mere, Angel.Angel departed from the bed and sat on Voxxy's lap.I hate that, them touching like that, like Vox actually cares about him. I clicked my tongue.Grabbing Angel's muppet head, Vox gently held it in his hands. Tino, darling, be my good boy, hmm? he said over Angel's hairdo. I can feel your vibes.Whatever, I grumped.
Stop with the attitude.

...Sorry.
Angel— Vox drawled. I'll let you have a good time tonight, hmm?Angel smirked, Okay, Daddy.Vox gave the side of Angel's ass some love pats, Val, would you make sure this boy is eating properly. His old boney-fucking-ass should be classified as a weapon. It's fucking painful to hold him.Angel nibbled at Vox's neck, Old? Jackass.
Heh—Watch your mouth.
Vox, why'd you agree to this? I asked. You don't like Angel. You're only playing nice because of Lucifer, because you're afraid of the king.
I'm not afraid of Lucifer.

Yeah, sure, baby.
Vox rolled his eyes, It's not just about Lucifer, I've enjoyed running a less chaotic household. And I don't like your thing with Angel. BUT he obviously needed some attention tonight, or he has some side shit going on. I like to keep our boy happy. Need some stress relief, darling?Yes, Daddy, Angel rasped.Val— Vox breathed. I know your life revolves around you, but Angel has tribulations too, you understand? He thinks he'll come around here and get some comfort from you, but isn't that all in his head? That he could get comfort from you?! Heh—Hey, wait a damn minute— I started.Anyway, you comforting him is nothing I care about. Reality or not. Vox gently booped the spider's schnoz, Eh, boy? That's none of Daddy's concern, is it?Angel grinned, I'll do whatever you say, Daddy.
I know you will, sugar britches, because Daddy keeps the lights on, right?

Yes, sir.
Clicking my tongue at Vox, I gave my arms an irritated fold.Daddy? Angel mumbled and looked up at Vox.Vox ran some gentle claws through the star's hair, Yes?I pursed my lips, Vox, I hate it when he calls you Daddy.
He doesn't actually mean anything by it, leave him alone—Angel, Val is going to suck you off now.
I'm going to what?! I snapped.Vox grinned wickedly, Go ahead, Angel. Slapping Angel's ass as the star stood up, Vox slipped out a fresh cigarette and lit it. Give me a good show, Tino.My face went lava-fucking-hot.Mmhmm, Vox hummed, taking a drag of his cigarette. Do as Angel says.Angel left Vox and fronted me on the bed. Wrapping some arms around my neck fluff, the star ran a smooth thumb over my right eyebrow. He shifted back and laid into the bedding, eyeing me. The star's top-half propped up by pillows, his deliciously thick cock was semi-erect.I glanced behind me toward Vox.
You don't have to do anything, Val. You can sit and watch me suck him off, if you'd rather.
I'd rather fuck Angel into the mattress, but whatever Vox'll let me get away with tonight. Hate you... I whispered under my breath.
What was that? Say that louder, darling. I didn't quite catch it—Because we don't say shit we don't mean, do we?
I clenched my jaw, I didn't say anything. I don't hate him. Why do I always say that? To piss him off?Mmhmm, my love hummed, ignoring my lying.My cock throbbed as I locked eyes with him, Sorry.
It's okay, but your boy wants some attention.
Fine, Vox... Leaning into Angel, heat was pouring off his body.Val, Angel whispered, my name dripping seductively from his twink-demon tongue.I got closer and licked at Angel's stomach, kissing a trail down to his thick base. Snaking my hot, wet tongue around his balls, I moved sloppily along to his engorged shaft.Angel let out a series of shivering little breaths, one of his hands gently resting on my crown. Tasting of sweet vanilla and some expensive cologne, I recognized it as his favorite. It was him that I'd been craving lately. Vox always seems to know what I need. Ohh, Val, the star moaned.I shifted an eye toward Vox. Stupid Vox knowing everything. Knowing that I was stressed and desiring Angel. Him letting Angel crawl into our bed just to keep me happy. ... I narrowed my eye at my love while my tongue caressed every inch of Angel's rock-hard cock.Vox grinned wickedly in return, the end of his cigarette glowing red as he took another drag in the dark.Returning my full attention to Angel, I took the length of him in my mouth. Sucking, sliding, my lips encircled around his engorged shaft; my eyes started watering, a fog of natural ecstasy overtaking my mind. I hummed against him and listened to Angel's moans of pleasure until his hot, sweet cum shot down my throat.Pulling back and looking Angel in the eyes, I winced slightly as he ran a gentle hand against my temple.Angel thumbed away a tear beading in the corner of my eye, You okay?Yes, I'm fucking okay, I grumbled.Uh-uh, be nice, Vox gently chided from his chair.Angel kissed my forehead, It's alright, Val.Ughh—Vox put out his cigarette and stood up, downed the rest of his drink, and set the glass on his nightstand. The sound of the crystal colliding with wood was sharp and put me on edge.Would I pay for this indulgent moment?Standing up and approaching me, Vox traced my jawline with a deadly claw before sticking the sharp point in the soft V under my chin.Swallowing hard and not daring to move, I locked eyes with him.Vox's hand left me and he gave Angel's head some good boy pats. That's enough for now. Let's order dinner. I want to eat and go to bed.Okay, Voxxy, I rasped.My love smirked. Love you, he whispered seductively.I shifted to sit on the edge of our bed, Love you too, Vox.
★★★

Vox

Suddenly waking up, the bedroom was filled with red air pouring from my ring. I flexed my hand and turned my wrist. The red air was pulsing and spiralling around as it made contact with my claws.Val and Angel were naked and huddled next to me in bed, staring wide-eyed at my hand.Hmm, I hummed. Yeah, this is new, right? I said my thought out loud to them.A pop and a crash echoed in the bedroom as a portal opened next to my nightstand and knocked some things over. Lucifer, haphazardly half-dressed and looking panicked, stepped through and grabbed my left hand. The king's portal closed and everything went dark except the demonic red glow of his eyes as he inspected my ring.Well, hello to you too, I said with raised eyebrows.Hush, he grumped and flicked his demon tail.
How'd you know something was wrong?

Vox, be quiet.
Shushing up before he got pissed, I watched him poke and prod at my hand and ring.How long has it been like this? the king asked.Like what? I replied.Getting irritated with me, his eye twitched.I took my hand back and looked it over, Luce, you are so fucking grumpy lately. Can I say anything without pissing you off?Lucifer shifted a quick glance over at Angel who was next to me in bed, Oh? Are we getting along?Rolling my eyes, I crinkled my non-existent nose, He invited himself.Lucifer obviously cared more about my situation as he refocused on me. Would you PLEASE give me your hand, the king said and grabbed my wrist, yanking my hand back his way. He planted his other hand against my forehead. His touch was warm and healing.The exhaustion I'd been feeling lately eased and everything felt so good that my eyes watered. Closing them, I melted as Lucifer laid my head down in the pillows. Luce's healing hands left my body and at the loss of him, the urge to sob flooded my entire being. Instead, I fell asleep as he whispered something demonic above me.Waking up later, I had no grasp on the time or day but a naked Lucifer was sitting up beside me in bed.Good evening, the king said lightly and tossed his phone aside. You slept for a whole day.I cleared my throat and nestled under the blankets.Carefully, yet somehow sternly, Luce pinched at my antenna. He forced me to move closer to him before letting go.Wincing from the pain and embarrassment, my face went lava hot. I laid my screen flat against his chest as he rubbed my back. Where's Val? I rasped against him while I thumbed at my ring. I was glad the gemstone was okay.
Val is resting in the living room.

And what's the deal with my ring?

...You really need to learn how to self regulate your schedule. How to delegate. Your mind was nearly broken and you weren't even aware.
I have been delegating, I lied.Vox, I know when you lie. So, don't. You're going to irritate me. Lucifer made me flip over, my face upward on his chest. Our eyes locking, he bent down and kissed me. The king's hair wasn't styled, so his loose bangs brushed against my screen.
And my ring?

It's soulbound, and the red aura was trying to tell you to slow-your-roll.

The red air ramped up when you summoned me, Luce.

Yeah? I would've beaten you if I had time. You are not to do business with him.
Yes, I understand. Don't lecture me again. I managed to give my king a smirk, You know, my ring might start leaking again if you're too hard on me.
Get off me.
Fine... I grumbled, my mood switching to something more irritated as I moved to his side.Heh, it's okay, hmm? Luci hummed, shifting into his demon form. You're my good boy, right?
Yes, Luce—
Red eyes glowing, sharp horns pointed toward me, the celestial being straddled my waist and our lips locked in a heated, passionate kiss. Knowing where the lube was in the nearby nightstand, he reached for it and started slicking us up. His fingers finding my hole and sliding them deep inside me, he snaked his tail around my leg to get me positioned just for him.At his touch, precum poured from my rock-hard cock like sweet honey.It's been awhile since I've given you some attention, Lucifer whispered. Look at how you're reacting.
Shhhut up.
He shot me with his wickedest of grins as the lubed sounds of his fingers fucking me made my head swim, You can always send a text if you're missing me, Voxxy.Ah— I breathed while he continued sensually fucking me with his experienced fingers. Luce... My eyes started watering.Are you listening to me? If I'm not coming around, it's because I'm BUSY. Withdrawing his fingers and using his tail to roughly adjust my angle. 'Busy' is something you can relate to, hmm? Mr. CEO.Oooff! I breathed out as he dragged me around. Digging my elbows into the bed, I felt pangs of longing for him to be inside me. Pangs I'd been experiencing a lot lately and ignoring.Lucifer dragged me down a little further until I was where he wanted me. Grinning wickedly, the king eased his thick cock into my tight hole. Relax, Voxxy, he said and held a hand out. Relax.I accepted his hand and tried to breathe as my pucker stretched around him. Throwing my free arm across my face, my screen was on fucking fire with embarrassment.Getting into our rhythm, he was always a rough fuck, but the feeling of him inside me was something I longed for, something that left a glow within me for days afterward—Little sounds escaped my lips as we made love, our bodies slapping together, my mind drifting in and out of focus while matching his motions. The room was sweltering in the heat of things.Ahh— I breathed. Luci.Thrusting deep inside me, the king filled me with his fiery starcum as my load landed in stellar fashion against my stomach. He pulled out and grabbed my wrist, forcing some eye contact. Smiling, he bent forward and kissed my screen. Hmm?Catching my breath, we departed from bed and entered the en suite to shower.We washed in silence.I watched as the sweat and sex circled the drain.Looking like a drowned rat, blondie slicked his hair back under the water. When Luce came back out for air, he gave me a little smirkYou leaving after this? I asked nonchalantly.
No, I don't have anything pressing tomorrow. I do need some sleep, though. All the fussing over you made Daddy tired, hmm?
Finishing up and drying, I exited the bedroom alone and found Tino in the living room. He was sleeping deeply as I ran a gentle claw against his temple. Come to bed, darling.It's my fault— Val rasped as he woke. That your soul was breaking.
Did Lucifer say that?
Ha! the king laughed, appearing beside me wearing one of my silk robes, undone, with his cock on full display. I definitely did not say that. It's not your fault, Val. It's Vox's fault. But he's fine again, so don't worry. He placed a healing palm to Val's forehead. Warm and comforting, Val's eyes watered profusely as Lucifer took his hand back. He gave Val's forehead a gentle kiss and thumbed away the tears. Time for bed, he smiled and grabbed Tino's hand, helping him off the couch.With Lucifer escorting Val into the bedroom, I followed behind them and grinned. I stalled in the doorframe and held out my left hand, touching at my ring.Soulbound?A glowing sheen flashed across the bi-color tourmaline gemstone.Hmm?Voxxy, come to bed, Val called as he nestled next to Lucifer's small frame.Giving my eyebrows a wag, I made my way over and joined them under the duvet.

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----

Tangled in the sheets, I lit a cigarette and stared at Val's sleeping form. God, he's beautiful. The light of the moon's soft glow faintly flooded inside through our sheer curtains, tracing every curve of my love's handsome body.I took a long drag and blew a stream of smoke toward the penthouse rafters. Putting my cigarette down in a nearby ashtray, it smoldered violently.Can we still go out? Val mumbled into the blankets, waking up.It's too late for our reservation, I replied, thumbing away a tear beading in the corner of his eye.
Sorry.

I bet.
He gently brought some hands down to hold his spanked ass. Red and throbbing, we'd had a sit-down before napping. A response to a tantrum. Throwing things, expensive things, and he ended up over my knee for a chat with me and his hairbrush.Hungry? I asked gently. We can order in.Okay— he rasped, eyeing the polished, heart-shaped hairbrush on the floor. I'd tossed the hard-wooden implement away from us after applying a long series of white-fire brush strokes across his sorry cheeks. Every harsh impact had left a sensation likening to the burn of a white-hot flame, and he'd be feeling the burning glow for awhile. I said sorry, Voxxy.
Tino, you didn't have to sabotage our Valentine's Day plans. You don't have to behave this way if you're trying to manipulate your way out of something you didn't want to do. How about some communication?
Irritably narrowing his eyes at me, they were softly glowing in the dark.Watch yourself, I chided.Turning on his side, he faced away from me, Estupido.I reached over and gave his spanked cheeks a loving rub causing every hair on his body to stand on end, Knock it off.
Fine, Vox.

If you don't want spanked, then behave your damn self.
I know how to behave, he snipped toward the windows. I choose to let my emotions run wild.
Liar, you let your emotions control you. I know you better than anyone, brat.

'Whatever'.

Stop with the pity party and come here, now.
He flinched slightly at my tone but obeyed me, maneuvering over and laying his head on my lap.Gently smoothing my love's eyebrows, I stared down at him, Hmm? Want your gift now?
I have a gift for you too, mi amor.

What's for dinner? I'll order.
I know what we'll have, I'll order it, Val said and stood up, kissing my forehead. Grabbing his phone and ordering food, he exited the bedroom still naked.Brat. My brat.Getting to my feet, I grabbed the hairbrush off the floor. I thumbed at the hard-wooden back, felt irritated about the spanking, and slipped it into my nightstand drawer. Grabbing a gift bag filled with very expensive gifts I'd hidden in the closet, I made my way out to the living room. I found Val hovering over the roses I'd arranged across the coffee table. The rare variety of roses were young and potted, a bunch of them, and he could keep them to grow forever with his other plants. He hadn't seen them earlier and was getting emotional. Love— I whispered and gave him the gift bag. Happy Valentine's Day.I hate you, Val lied, tears pricking the corners of his eyes. He set the gift bag down on the loveseat without looking in it and grabbed me, our tongues meeting in a heated, passion-laced kiss.I fucking love him so much.He pulled away first and embraced me, Sorry for being a brat. I love you.I smiled against him, I love you too, Tino.

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----

Sitting in my basement command center and lazily staring at my screens, a royal entered the tower lobby with his entourage surrounding him.—Fuck me.I crinkled my non-existent nose and sent my assistant a message to go see what the fuck some prince from Lust was doing in my building. I certainly didn't want that guy anywhere near Val, or for Val to hear about him before I knew what's going on. I don't know every royal in Hell by sight, but I sure as shit know this one. He's on that stupid Demonwives Lust show that Val constantly has streaming while I'm trying to relax after work.Hell's most notorious fuckboy, the great winged-celestial cat, Prince Sitri, grinned wickedly toward my nearest security camera, and a dubious tell was to be had, despite the facade of a smile, he gave the tip of his tail an irritable flick. Hmm. Here to cause trouble?When Assistant Boy found Sitri and took the prince's attention away from the camera, the celestial being slid some gold-furred fingers along my eel's jawline. The prince rolled his wings slightly as he was chatting casually with the eel, digging his powerful claws into my boy's arm.A moment of electricity crackled around my face and claws. Oookay— I almost laughed, thoroughly pissed. Shifting into my electric form, I entered the building's power system and landed next to them in the lobby. Scruffing up my assistant, I pulled him away from the prince and gave the winged-cat my full attention. Can I help you? I smirked dangerously.Ah, just the head TV I wanted to see, Prince Sitri said smoothly. I called and tried to get a meeting with you, but you were all booked up, hmm? And your scheduler wouldn't budge, not even for a prince! Ha!
Yes?
The great cat arched a sharp eyebrow my way, But look at you standing here! It seems you have a moment to spare right now! I have a proposal that you might be interested in. Shall we discuss it properly and not in the middle of your lobby?
Sir, unfortunately, I do have a schedule, and—
Interrupting me, Sitri grabbed my wrist and forcibly pulled, my body landing against his chest, You do know who I am, right? I'm demon royalty, so YOU should do as you are TOLD. He pinched at my chin, his hot pink eyes staring deep into my soul.Directly beside me, a sudden glittery shroud of blacks and reds swirled as Lucifer came into view. DARLING! the king greeted me loudly as the shroud dissipated. Apparently, he knew something was going on and his tone couldn't hide the fact that he was irritated about the cat holding me. I didn't realize you were a close acquaintance of Prince Sitri. Luce painfully jabbed me in the side with his cane's apple topper, and I obediently scrambled to free myself but Sitri only held me tighter. —Here, right now, Vox, he snipped.Sitri won't let me go! I said in a panic. Electricity circulated around my body but it crackled and fizzled as the celestial prince's power overwhelmed me. Lucifer, help!Sitri grinned wickedly.Sitri, find someone else to play with, the king said and bopped the cat on the nose with his cane.Fucking shit, Lucifer! Sitri yelped and dropped me, gold-furred hands flying up to hold his throbbing schnoz. I was just joking around!Flat on my ass, I sighed raggedly.Lucifer rolled his eyes, Uh-huh—Why are you in my ring harassing Vox? The king grabbed my hand and helped me get to my feet. Planting his cane tip to the floor, the sharp click made me jump as I flanked his side.I'm here to see if the Vees wanted to be on an episode of our show, he managed. Asshole.Watch yourself, Luce drawled.
You can be on the show too, if you want, sire, but we've never been on a trip to Pride, and thought we'd come up here and showcase some of your local celebrities.
Local celebrity? I snipped, straightening my suit. All of Hell knows my name.The prince slapped my back and grinned, Well, if they didn't know you, they will when I'm done! Featured in just one episode and you'll be everyone's favorite demon. And then, maybe, and this is just me spitballing ideas here, but Demonwives Pride. He waved a hand through the air like the idea was magical. Sinners, Hellborn, Royals, all on one show. Ratings gold, I'm telling you.I glanced at Luci, shooting him with a dramatic frown.Sighing, Lucifer looked more bored by all this than anything.Arranging a time for a proper meeting tomorrow afternoon with paperwork to sign, the prince and his entourage left through a portal.Luce warned me to watch out for him, then made his exit.Turning around, I found my assistant hiding behind me. You couldn't handle some random prince?!Assistant Boy's face turned bright red. Sir, you couldn't do anything either! he hissed quietly.Grinning wickedly, I grabbed his wrist, Go downstairs, it's time for a performance review.
God—Sir, I have work to get done.
Mmhmm, I hummed. Now. Shifting into my electric form and entering through the nearest security camera, I landed in my basement command center. I sat in my chair and refocused on my wall of screens, watching my assistant obediently descending through the tower until my elevator dinged as he hit the basement floor. Not bothering to turn around, I listened to the sounds of my assistant striding along the catwalk. I turned in my chair to face him, a trail of his clothes were dotting the path he'd taken from the elevator.Naked and giving me his best set of bedroom eyes, he shifted his posture and planted a hand on his hip, Well, sir? How has my performance been lately?
God you've gotten so mouthy.

Have I, sir?

Yes, you little shit—C'mere. Letting that cat put his hands all over you.
Fronting me, Assistant Boy shifted around as I stood up. He kneeled down on the floor and planted his elbows into my chair, setting himself up for a fuck. Giving me a sultry-laced glance over his shoulder and lifting his tail, the eel gave me full access to all of him.I gave his exposed, dry pucker a circular rub, You know, I should leave you bent over and waiting. A punishment while I work.
No, because I have work too, sir.
Should we hire you an assistant? Are you overworked? I asked, leaving his pucker and giving his ass some encouragement pats.
No—

Hmm? Reply properly.
No, sir... he replied, his tone slightly more submissive.I sat on my desk and grabbed my mug, watching him keep position while I wasn't particularly enjoying my now cold coffee.Without warning, a glittery pink-rimmed portal opened next to my desk.Arching a sharp eyebrow toward the portal, I waited patiently as whichever powerful demon decided to intrude on my territory.Prince Sitri slipped out and stood next to my desk, the portal closing after him. Glancing around my command center, he lifted his wings slightly and gave his tail a snappy wave.Oh? I grinned wickedly. Back so soon?My assistant glanced over his shoulder, his face pinkening with embarrassment but obediently not moving from his position. Though, he did lower his tail to cover himself.Hopping down from my desk and abandoning my cold coffee, I reached under my naked assistant from behind and roughly grabbed him by the balls, Keep your tail up or you WILL receive a punishment, hmm?Yes, sir— he rasped submissively, arching his back and moving his tail out of the way to keep himself exposed.I turned and gave the celestial cat my full attention, Prince Sitri, how can I help you? What couldn't wait until tomorrow?Sitri approached my assistant and moved a hand up to the eel's chin, pinching at it to get the young man's full attention. Grinning wickedly, the cat gave my boy's head a slight shove as he released him.Face turning a burning shade of embarrassed red, Assistant Boy encompassed his own eyes with both arms, a fruitless attempt at disappearing.Smirking, the cat traced the eel's bare shoulder blades with a sharp claw, What's his name?Assistant, I replied bluntly.I have a name, my assistant grumped from inside his arm fortress.I gave his ass a stinging smack, Shush.Ughhhhh— he sighed raggedly.The celestial fuckboy took my hand in his, Hands are for sensual gestures, hmm? Maybe TV's aren't aware of sensuality.Hands are also for correction, I snipped, not impressed with this conversation. Maybe the prince needs a correction to help him understand that this little section of Hell belongs to me, and the prince should ask permission before waltzing around like he owns my slice of Lucifer's kingdom. HMMM? Reaching toward him, I caught him by the seam of his britches. Why are you in my domain, kitty-kitty?I, umm— he hesitated.Haven't been put in your place much, have you, Prince Sitri? I asked, taking a quick swipe of my claw along the threads of his button fly column. Mother of pearl buttons took a delayed moment, then fell straight down to clatter around his designer shoes. A wicked grin spread across his face before I scruffed him up by the back of the neck. At the rough treatment, his expression faltered, if only for a brief second. Hauling him over by the scruff, his smile faded again as I forced him to kneel next to my assistant.The eel moved over slightly, making room for two sets of planted elbows in the seat of my command chair.Slipping the prince's pants down and placing a firm hand to the small of his back, I got the cat to angle himself properly for me. I gave his ass a rub and leaned forward against his body. Naughty boy, I whispered into his ear. Coming here expecting a fuck?Prince Sitri put his ears back flat and gave my assistant a hesitant glance as their arms were touching each other.Moving back, I grabbed the base of the prince's tail and repeatedly thumbed at the musky patch underneath, his tail arching forward of its own accord, his breathing changing as heated blood coursed through his handsome body.In something of a panic, Sitri grabbed my assistant by the hand and held onto him. Ass raised, tail up, pants down around his ankles; the aroused prince yelped when I pulled up on his tail base and gave his vulnerable, gold-furred ass a meaty slap. Ouch!A spanking would do you some good, I drawled. Teach the prince some manners.Prince Sitri shifted on his knees.But not today. Retrieving my lube and getting my hard cock out, I ripped open a condom wrapper and slipped it on. I dripped lube along his crack and eased some slicked fingers deep inside him.Ahh— he breathed.I fucked him with my fingers, sliding, his tight pucker clamped around them. Are you sorry for invading my work space? I was trying to give my assistant a performance review and you interrupted us.
I'm sorry—

Such a naughty prince.

Sorry... I'm sorry, sir.
Withdrawing my fingers and setting myself up behind Sitri, I eased my hard cock into the being's eager hole. Finding our rhythm, I bucked into him and relished in the little stifled complaints I had dripping from his lustful royal tongue. I reached forward and scruffed him, only to fuck him harder.He clawed at my chair with his free hand, AH!I gave the side of his ass a solid slap and continued thrusting into him, Easy on my chair.SORRY! Sitri yiped.Finishing first, I pulled back and got him to turn around. I waved a nonchalant hand from Assistant Boy to Prince Sitri. Cleaning myself up and watching the scene in front of me, my assistant maneuvered over and licked at the length of the prince's rock-hard shaft. Precum poured from his tip like hot, sweet honey. Celestial seed slightly aglow as my assistant's lips encircled the prince's tip. Sucking, licking, sliding; my assistant gave Sitri his wickedest set of bedroom eyes as he worked him over. It didn't take much and the prince's cum was shooting down my assistant's throat. On his way out, my assistant kissed at Sitri's tip. Tears pricked the corners of Prince Sitri's eyes.Assistant Boy stood up and pinched at the prince's chin, Good boy, Prince Sitri. Hmm?The prince blinked as they held eye contact.My assistant lolled his head toward me while he gave Sitri's furred-head a condensing pat, Did I pass my performance review? I have work, sir.I rolled my eyes, Yeah, bye, get back to work. Don't work too late and text me before you leave tonight.Yes, sir, my assistant said and left the prince. He stepped over to where I'd replanted myself on my desk and grabbed my screen to make me meet him halfway. Kissing the side of my screen, he adjusted my tie and left to gather his trail of clothes before exiting my command center.Did the prince enjoy himself? I asked when we were alone.He was taking his time to recover, subdued from the rough fuck I'd given him.I eyed him, Are you alright, Prince Sitri?Hem— the prince cleared his throat. Yes, he replied, shifting on his freshly fucked ass.Suddenly, my elevator sounded and the doors opened to reveal my love standing there. Val stepped out on the landing and made his way along my catwalk. Reaching the prince and me, he gave the celestial cat a sharp look, his eyes drifting down to Sitri's exposed cock. I heard you've been busy today, Voxxy.I secured us a meeting about a guest spot on Demonwives Lust, I replied. You're welcome, my love.Val's eyebrows drifted up into his non-existent hairline.The cast will obviously be coming up here for a vacation, and then, I'm assuming if filming goes well and ratings are decent, there will be talk of a Demonwives Pride, I added. Correct, Prince Sitri?Yes— he rasped.I shot the prince with my wickedest of grins, That's a good boy, hmm?Prince Sitri's ears perked at being praised, a smirk spread across his face.Joining me on the command center desk, Val's tongue locked with mine in a heated, passion-laced kiss. I was making one of his dreams come true and could feel the natural electricity of excitement circulating through his soul. God, I love making him happy.

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----

Sitting in Val's studio, I was watching Angel sulking over on a bed. What's your damn problem? I snipped toward him from Lucifer's forgotten throne chair.On the bed's edge, a naked Angel shifted and crossed his legs, giving his foot an irritated wag, Nothin'.What's wrong with him? I asked Val as he passed in front of me.Val stalled and gave me a wide-eyed look over his shoulder, then turned his head toward Angel, Wrong with who? Angel? Nothing, he's just being a little BITCH today. Continuing on his way, my love reached Travis and had some words with him about the production schedule.Motioning for Angel to bring his boney ass over, I shifted as he descended from the set and fronted me. I arched a sharp eyebrow and gave my leg a pat, What's the matter?Nothing— Angel grumbled and planted his painfully boney ass on my knee.
You aren't having trouble with anyone here, right?

No.

Well?

Stuff at home that you don't want to hear about.

You're right, I don't want to hear about that—Need some spending money?

No, Daddy.
I gave the side of his ass some encouragement pats, Then get back up there and look like you're fucking enjoying yourself. You're bringing down morale.
—Sorry, Daddy.

Go.
The star slid off my lap and shot me with his best fake grin.Mmhmm, I hummed and lazily waved him off.Sighing raggedly, he trudged back to his mark and waited for filming to start.Everything paused as a loud commotion sounded from outside the studio doors.The fuck? I sneered.Without warning, an outside film crew poured into the studio. My head of security was with them and appeared absolutely flustered. The gold-scaled dragon got them to stay put in the landing while he waltzed over to my side, Boss, were you expecting company today?I rolled my eyes, Oh, was that today?How could you not know?! he snapped, a pair of irritated fireballs escaping his nostrils.
Calm your tits, fuck's sake. They kept changing the start date. Blame my assistant for not telling anyone—Where the fuck is he, anyway? I haven't seen him all morning.

I don't fucking know.

Go track him down and tell him to come here, please and thank you, sir.
Grumbling, my security head bowed out and made his exit.The director broke off from his film crew and fronted me. Voluptuous and curved, the rounded incubus slickly flicked his long tail, running the tip up my leg to trace the growing bulge in my pants, We're here to film your wife, sir.Resisting the urge to touch the handsome Hellborn of Lust, I looked over at Val who hadn't been paying attention to anything. Love, the Demonwives team is here for filming, I drawled.What?! Val snapped. Today?! He was immediately drawn back into what he was doing a moment prior with video files from the last production.A shimmering pink-rimmed portal opened up next to me and Prince Sitri stepped through into the studio, the portal closing after him. Flicking his tail, the great celestial cat adjusted his wings. The prince locked eyes with mine, grinning wickedly, seductively. There was no doubt what was on his mind.Hmm? Settle down, Mr. Producer, I told him. The only fucking in this room is up on stage. ...And occasionally in the dressing rooms.Heh— Prince Sitri breathed before pivoting to teacher clap at his crew. So, let's get some shots of Val working. Then I'm having the Pride wives gathered for a lunch shoot. The cat turned back to pinch at my chin with his gold-furred fingers, giving my screen a light jostle, Nooo husbands allowed at lunch. Gal pals only.I helped Prince Sitri remove his hand from my face, Okay, royal kitty-kitty.Giving me an eyebrow wag, the prince waltzed over to Val and they started ironing out some final plans.Angel gave me a look from the bed.Smile, I mouthed and the star straightened up his posture.Getting things rolling, the Demonwives crew successfully filmed different shots of Valentino doing his job. Everything went smoothly and shortly Val was hauled away for lunch, leaving Trav to man the studio alone.Want a ride home? I asked Angel who was done for the day.My assistant strolled in to front me before Angel could answer.And where were you all morning?! I snapped. You forgot to tell me the Demonwives crew was coming today.I did tell you, sir, Assistant Boy snipped back. He probably had told me. AND I sent you a reminder last night.
Oh? Did you?

Maybe you should read the texts I send you.

Yeah, well, you send so many. You should flag the ones I actually need to read.
You need to read all the messages I send! he yelled, exasperated.
Yell at me again today and I'll throw you out the fucking window.
He visibly balked.Angel shifted, Vox, can I go upstairs..?My assistant sneered at the star.You don't want to go home? I gently asked Angel and stood up. Focusing on my assistant and running a smooth hand through his hair, the eel's expression softened. Hmm, Angel?If you're going to say no— Angel started.I didn't say anything, calm down, I interrupted him. Go ahead. Don't eat my salad in the fridge. I'll be upstairs after awhile, and fuck knows when Val will be back after Prince Fuckboy is done filming.Angel sighed again before departing, lots of eyes watching him exit the studio.I gave my assistant a look, Don't mean-mug Angel like that. I don't want Lucifer on my ass over Angel being mistreated by you. Hmm? Okay?My assistant didn't reply.Yes, sir? I corrected.Yes, sir, he mumbled.
Let's have lunch.
He sighed and checked his watch, Yeah, alright.What do you want? I asked. You choose and call in the order.You don't call anyone to order food, my assistant said and tapped around his phone to get on the restaurant app. What era do you think we're in?You know what I meant, I replied and gave his head a pat, getting a momentary smile out of him. Sitting back down in Lucifer's forgotten chair, I watched Travis getting everyone setup for the next production. It was like watching someone herding cats. While Travis was failing at his job, the set director was loudly bitching at the set designer. Fucking circus. I ignored everything and sent Angel a text, immediately getting one back. Order enough food for Angel too, I told my assistant.Sneering, the eel gave me a look.Do as you're told, I lightly chided while focusing on Travis.Hem— my assistant cleared his throat.I stood up, wagged a get your shit together finger at Travis, and moved to exit the studio with Assistant Boy trailing behind me. Leading the way, I grinned wickedly at someone passing by, my face falling once Assistant Boy and I were alone and inside the elevator.My assistant clenched his jaw, worried, Sir?I'm just tired— I breathed.We landed on the top floor and the eel waltzed ahead of me.Entering the penthouse, I made a beeline for the bar and poured myself a drink, Angel?! I opened the fridge and made sure that little shit hadn't touched my salad.Assistant Boy planted himself in my armchair near the TV.You can turn the TV on, I told him. Setting my drink down and walking off to enter the bedroom, I found Angel in the en suite shower. I'm here, I said and leaned against the doorframe, watching the water pour over the star's naked body. Making yourself at home? Clouds of steam drifting on the air carried the scent of my expensive sandalwood and lemon body scrub. Fucking brat, he knows that's mine.Angel slicked back his stupid, soaked topknot and gave me some side-eye.God, I want to throw him out the fucking window. Little shit. A loud sigh escaped my lips. I loosened my tie and took off my suit jacket, If you're having problems at home, shouldn't you speak with Lucifer?Ha! the star laughed. Yeah, no. Being the king's bitch is your gig. I just need to spend the night here. I'll go home in the morning. Giving me a grin and fluttering some waterlogged eyelashes my way, he turned the shower off, Please, Daddy?
Whatever.

Thank you, Daddy.
Mmhmm, I hummed and left him, returning to my assistant in the living room. Did you text the security head to bring up our food.Yes, obviously, he snipped.I gave the young man a look.He shifted in my armchair, anxiety over his mouth suddenly hitting him, Sorry, sir—YES, I sent him a message.The TV wasn't going, so I grabbed the clicker and planted myself on the loveseat. Turning the TV on, some breaking news was running about an upscale restaurant in uptown and that a commotion had taken place.That's where the Demonwives shoot was, my assistant said flatly.Narrowing my eyes and leaning back, I frowned dramatically, Fuck me.Angel walked out from the bedroom, dripping and wrapped in towels, Vox, can I raid your closet for a T-shirt and shorts? The star looked at the TV and we were all drawn to Val standing outside the restaurant, covered in bright red blood. Whoa, it's Val!Fucking damnit— I rasped. Angel, go find some clothes. Fuck's sake.Without another word, the star slipped back toward the master bedroom.I grabbed my cell and sent an urgent message to our driver to go get Val, now. Then I started texting my love.

Me : What did you do now? You're on live TV and covered in blood

Val : Nice of you to assume shit! It wasn't me!

I watched him replying in real-time on the television.

Val : I didn't do a damn thing!

Me : Then why are you covered in blood?!

He held some of his arms out in front of him, apparently just now noticing the blood.

Me : Eh?

Looking at my text, Val rolled his shoulders and started typing.

Val : I didn't do anything

Me : I sent the car to fetch you.

Val : Okay

Me : And where's the prince?

Val : He dipped back to Lust when the salad started flying

Me : That's nice.

My security head didn't bother knocking before delivering our food. Wide-eyed, he immediately left after momentarily staring at a blood-soaked Val on-screen.As the reporter delivered the latest updates, our car arrived on live TV and whisked Val away.Should I leave? my assistant asked as a now dried and dressed Angel joined me on the loveseat. If Valentino's in a bad mood...You should be more worried about my mood, I snipped, causing both my assistant and Angel to flinch. Dole out whatever food you ordered for me.Obeying, he gave me a hot container with a nicely sliced medium-rare steak and frites.I was upset by the FIRST of what will probably be many Demonwives fiascos, and the thoughts were making it difficult to enjoy my meal.Val arrived and came straight upstairs. Honey, I'm home! my love announced upon entry. Want a hug, mi amor?! he joked, holding out his arms, clothes blood-soaked. We sure do have a lot of company.I know, right? I sighed. Cute fellas all over the fucking apartment.Waltzing out of the foyer and into the living room, he stole my half-eaten takeout container, took my utensil, and stabbed a forkful of steak as he planted his ass on our coffee table.Beside me, Angel frowned.Val pointed the fork toward Angel and then went back to stabbing another forkful of steak, Why didn't you go home? And why do you smell like Voxxy?He needed a break from home, so be nice to him tonight, I said. And he showered with my body wash after we came upstairs.
Good, because I'd get pissed if you'd fucked him.
I shot Val with my wickedest of grins, I haven't fucked anyone today... Yet.Stabbing a single slice of steak, it glistened delicately in the room's dimmed lighting. He reached to slip the fork into my mouth, giving me his best set of bedroom eyes.Savoring the meat and shifting back into the loveseat, I eyed him.I really didn't do anything, he reiterated. It was the bitches sitting next to me. They tore each other apart. I guess they were fucking each other's husbands or some nonsense. It wasn't a story for the show.
I believe you.

Heh, yeah right. You saw chaos and blood on TV and immediately sent a text accusing me of shit. Always itching to beat my ass, right?

You honestly think that? Of course not. I'd rather you behave your fucking self.
Uh-huh— he breathed.
You're all jazzed up from the drama, hmm? Trying to start a fight with me?
He narrowed his eyes, Shut up.Grinning at him, I downed the rest of my drink.Angel and my assistant anxiously shifted in unison.I'm gonna go take a shower, Val smirked and threw the takeout container. Join me? he questioned and grabbed my hand, helping me stand up with him.Daddy and Papi will be back, I told the boys and tossed the remote to Angel. You two stay here and get along.Yes, sir— my assistant rasped.That's a good boy, I said and gave his pretty hair a pat.Leaving the living room, Val grinned wickedly as he took me by the wrist. Reaching our bedroom and kicking the door shut behind us, he kissed me lovingly, passionately, all the way to the en suite.
