Page 15 of How to Accidentally Become the Devil

I smile sweetly and wave to Georgym, walking past a bent-over Zephyr as he laughs.

Belz chuckles beside me. “What do you say we take the scenic route and give Oz some time to calm down?”

“Thescenicroute?” He tips his head to the side and arches a brow, looking at me pointedly.Why is he… Oh!“Yes! Let’s fly!” I squeal. Glinda and Elphaba hippity-hop right on out and fling me into the air, not needing to be told twice.

“Woohoooo!” I shriek as my wings raise me higher and higher.

“Told ya. A fucking natural.” Belz grins at me, grabbing my hand. “Ready to see Gehenna from my point of view?”

“Hell yeah!”

He chuckles before shouting down to Zeph and Oz, “We’ll see you losers there.”

We soar over Gehenna, Belz leading the way with a firm grip on my hand. If something happened and my wings stopped working, I know he would have me. He’d never let me fall. But I don’t have to worry about that because Elphaba and Glinda have no problem at all keeping up with the veteran flier.

“See that,” Belz points to the left, in the distance the unmistakable loops and hills of a roller coaster loom over a sprawling amusement park. “That’s Elysium Gardens”

“Wow. I didn’t know Hell had an amusement park! We so have to go some time!”

He chuckles at my excitement.

“Belzar!” A distinctly feminine voice calls from below as dozens of other voices chime in, shouting greetings, it seems every demon on the street takes the time to look up and call their hellos out to Belz.

“Fan club?” I chuckle.

“I wouldn’t call it aclub,” he mumbles, his face turning an adorable pink.

“My mate’s famous,” I snicker.

“You realize if they knew who you were, every single one of them would be on their knees. Yet you callmefamous?”

“There’s only three demons I ever want on their knees in front of me,” I smirk.

Belz stops us, mid-air pulling us both into a standing position and grabbing my hips, bringing me flush against his hard body. Our wings flap in time with each other’s as we revolve slowly in the air. “We can always go back to the castle and I’ll get down on my knees for you, love.”

“Tempting,” I purr, running my hands up his chest. I’m seriously considering the possibility when a new commotion below snags my attention. Looking down, I see several demons gathered around one demon who seems to be in hysterics. They’re sobbing in the middle of the street.

That’s not weird at all.

The remainder of the trip to Styx is quick yet we pass at least five more demons crying in the middle of town.

What the hell is going on?

We land in front of Styx next to Zeph and Oz.

“Took you two long enough,” Oz grumbles.

“Sorry. We ran into Belz’s fan club,” I chuckle.

“Belz has a fan club? Where’s my fan club?” Zeph pouts.

“I’myour fan club.” I hop on my toes to kiss his cheek, stepping back and looking between Oz and Zeph when I’m done. “Did y’all notice anything weird on your walk here?”

“Weirdhow?” Oz raises a brow.

“I don’t know…” I drawl. “Like random demons crying in the middle of town?”

“Told you that was weird,” Zeph huffs.
