Page 52 of How to Accidentally Become the Devil

“It’s not your seat anymore,Amica Mea.” He smirks at me. “The devil sits at the head of the table.”

Oh shit. That’s me. I sit in Luc’s seat now.

“I knew that.” I saunter to my new seat ignoring my mates’ laughter.

As I reach for the chair to pull it out, two sets of hands beat me to it. Zar and Zeph stand on either side, pulling my chair out for me.

Smiling at my thoughtful mates, I take the offered seat just as the doors open. My missing mate walks in with an agitated Geo in tow. The demon’s entire body is tense and his eyes dart around the room until they land on Reed. The second they do, his entire demeanor changes. His shoulders relax and his eyes darken at the sight of his mate.

A look at my bestie shows a similar reaction. Before Geo walked in, he was laughing at me and my mates but the atmosphere of the room shifted with his appearance. Reed’s cheeks pinken and he licks his lips as his mate strides to his side.

“Geo! Thank you for coming,” I greet him before my bestie could do something embarrassing like jump his bones in a room full of people. “Please, sit here.” I gesture to the seat on my left.

His eyes widen when I offer the seat directly next to me. “Yes, my-Maddy,” he corrects himself before I can scold him again.

Reed’s eyes sparkle and his lips twitch as he follows his mate around the table and sits between him and my dad.

Oz stops by my seat to kiss me before taking the empty seat by Zeph, leaving one open seat for our last guest.

What’s taking him so long?

Just then, the doors open with a flourish and the ex-devil saunters in, breezily claiming his seat without a word.

Once everyone is seated it’s awkwardly quiet for a moment before Luc smirks at me across the table.

“Are we planning oneatingat this family dinner?” he teases.

Oh, right. That’s another job for me, isn’t it?

Yes, Princess.Oz chuckles in my head.

How… Ummm how do I get the food to come out?

Luc always clapped twice to signal the staff.Belz reminds me.

I don’t want to do that. That seems so…rude.

How do you politely signal the staff to bring out the dishes?Zar looks at me with a raised brow.

I glare at all my mates.I don’t think I actuallytoldthe staff about this dinner. They probably don’t have dishes ready to serve anyway.

Masculine chuckles fill my head and I roll my eyes.

Assholes.

Whatever. I’ll just magic up some food. I don’t think Dad or Reed are ready for a feast of Hell food anyway.

All of my favorite foods from Earth and Hell fill the table and Reed gasps.

“Oh my god! That’sso cool!” he gushes. “Shit. Is that offensive?” His eyes widen as he looks around the table at the demons surrounding him.

Luc is the first to laugh. “Not at all. We’ve gotten used to it with Maddy here. Though, she has been using more Hell-friendly words lately.”

“Hell-friendly. What’s that mean? You say devil instead of god?”

“Basically.” Luc shrugs with a laugh.

“But she’s the devil now, right? That would just be weird. I can’t do it. Sorry, Mads. I’m not changing. And ifyou,” he turns to Geo, “ever say devil in bed, I’ll murder you where you stand… or lay.”
