Eventually Adam’s hips stopped pumping and Adam’s own mouth stopped moving on Minos’ cock. He felt his little human’s dick grow soft, and Adam moved to rest his head on Minos’ thigh.
“Holy fuck. Holy fucking fuck.Unholy fuck,” Adam whispered against Minos’ thigh. “That was… fuck. That was just.. Holy shit. I think I’m speechless. I’m never speechless. I always have words for all the things.”
Minos chuckled, because even speechless, Adam still couldn’t stop talking. Adam looked up at him with something like adoration in his eyes when Minos was chuckling. Minos didn’t think he’d ever seen that look aimed at him. Humans looked at him with fear, or loathing, or dejection, or, with the feisty ones, anger and hatred.
He had those who looked at him with friendship, or respect for his work, but what was shining in Adam’s eyes right now? It almost looked like love, and Minos had no idea what to do with that.
He pulled his little human up and held him tightly against his chest, their breaths naturally starting to align, and he held on. Adam sighed and burrowed into him, and for once his little human actuallywasspeechless. Minos just enjoyed holding him, waiting to see what new and surprising things his little human might say next when the haze of sex had passed.
He thought he might actually be… happy. He wasn’t sure what to do with the feeling, so he just let it settle in and decided he’d figure it out later.
Chapter9
Adam
Adam was settled on Minos’ lap on the throne of bones in the Chamber of Judgment (it seemed like it ought to be capitalized in Adam’s head, and he totally said it to himself like it was). He still couldn’t get over the actual bones—it was so totally campy and cool at the same time. And badass. Because Minos wastotallybadass.
And amazing in bed. Holy shit. Because Adam was trying really hard to focus, but he was still sort of blissed out from the sublime experience that had been sixty-nining with Minos. He and Tim hadn’t had much going on in the bedroom for years, and he realized that they probably hadn’t hadgoodsex, like, ever.
Adam had initially liked how laid back about sex Tim had been, but he was realizing that really it had just been boring, not laid back. Adam used tolovegiving blow jobs. Which, ok, he knew some people weren’t fans, but he didn’t get it. Feeling a hard dick in your mouth, tasting someone’s skin and pre-cum, hearing the moans—it was hot. Feeling that dick getting harder as you sucked on it and licked it and used your tongue on it? HOT.
And maybe he had a bit of an oral fixation, because he couldn’t seem to shut up, like, ever. But it was also knowing you were giving someone else pleasure. That they were totally into what you were doing. But with Tim, even something he used to love had gotten stale. Because Tim had never seemedtotallyinto it. The sex wasfine, but that’s all it ever was. Tim got off, and he got off, but it wasn’t very fun or messy or… carnal? One of his favorite activities had become like a chore. And he sort of hated Tim for that.
But Minos had made up for years of boring. Because holy shit, when Minos had started talking to him? Who knew he was such a whore for positive feedback. Because it hadtotallydone it for Adam. When he had deep throated Minos and heard him moan, felt his dick pulse—damn. Adam didn’t ever think giving a blow job had been so good for him. Even though he had felt his eyes start to water from having Minos’ dick so deep, he hadn’t wanted to come up, because he had just felt so good and floaty and horny. It was like an out of body experience.
And hey, if ever there was a time for out of body experiences, death was it. Adam snorted at that, and Minos looked at him, but Adam just smiled until Minos focused back on the demon and the human kneeling in front of them.
But Adam went right back to sex brain, and he realized that he was probably into being controlled a little more than he thought, because when Minos had grabbed his hair—that had been hot as fuck. Minos hadn’t hurt him, and Adam somehow totally trusted that he wouldneverhurt him, but just knowing that Minos was in charge? Total turn on.
He wiggled a little at that. He was definitely getting horny thinking about sex. He had a feeling thatnothingwas off the table with Minos. And he had so many ideas in his head.
Ideas which he wasnotgoing to blurt out. Because he had barely managed to convince Minos to let him go to work with him. But he had, and so far it had been pretty fun. At first, the demons did a bit of a double take to see him sitting there on Minos’ lap, but the humans seemed so focused on Minos that he mostly got ignored. Most of the people were downright awful human beings, and it had felt kinda cool to add in his ideas on how they should be punished. And every once in a while he couldn’t help asking the humans questions, but the demons with them and Minos just listened and nodded when he did that, so he thought he must be somewhat helpful, or at the very least not a distraction.
The demons had seemed sort of sullen and… well, tired, he guessed, when they were first popping in. And definitely surprised to see him. But by the third or fourth human, the entire mood of the demons entering the chamber had changed. Word must have gotten around about Adam, because as the judging wore on, the demons seemed gleeful (in a sinister way, of course) when they popped in and saw him sitting there.
Were there water coolers to gossip around in hell? If not, there must at least be break rooms, or maybe some form of a group text or office teams thread, and he figured he was probably the main source of office chatter in them right now. His imagination took him down a whole path of demons gleefully texting one another and gossiping about their boss’s love life, and he had to restrain another chuckle.
Everyone had been really nice, though, considering this was hell. There had only been one sort-of incident so far. Before word had probably gotten around about him, a demon had popped in, seen him sprawled on Minos’ lap, and the demon had promptly put his hand over the human’s mouth who he had arrived with, giving Minos some kind of look. Minos had stared back for a minute and then asked Adam if he’d like to maybe take a quick nap or go back to his place for a bit. He’d gone for the nap, because Minos’ lap was comfy, and he really didn’t want to go off wandering hell on his own. And who didn’t like naps?
He’d woken up as the man was being dragged off, and the demon had lookedreallysinister and scary, and Minos had looked kind of foreboding as well, although he’d had a gentle pat for Adam’s arm when Adam looked at him. He figured there were some things he didn’t want to hear about, and he trusted Minos to know what those things were.
Adam sighed, and the demon and Minos both looked at him. Oops. It was just that the guy in front of them right now was BORING. He was really handsome, but man, there was nothing going on upstairs. He talked endlessly about all the women he’d slept with, and the money he’d made (not very honestly), and how every failed relationship or friendship in his life had been the other person’s fault. He even had the gall to say at one point that none of his misdeeds werehisfault, and he shouldn’t be judged for them. Typical narcissist.
“My god, you are soboring. Do you even hear yourself?” Adam said. Oops again. He just couldn’t help it. The guy was annoying. Minos patted his leg, and the demon behind the guy chuckled darkly, so he figured he might as well keep going.
“That ‘chick with the red hair’lovedyou. And you made her doubt herself, and her beauty, and lied to her about the future, all for what? Some sex? To make you feel good about yourself? You dated her for almost a year and broke up with her in the meanest way possible because she, what, questioned you? Asked if you guys were gonna really take that trip to Greece you kept promising her? You are such an asshole.”
The guy looked totally pissed at that, and Adam just knew he was about to lash out, because that’s what assholes like him did, but the demon grabbed his mouth so he couldn’t talk. Adam turned to Minos, and he was feeling a little harsh, because in a few small ways this guy reminded him of Tim (only like twenty times worse, because Tim hadn’t been this much of a shit, he could admit that).
“You should totally make this guy ugly. Like make his outside match his inside. And you should make him fall in love over and over and over again, and have the people he lovesneverlove him back. Let them be mean and harsh and cruel like he was. And maybe eventually let each relationship last a little longer, so he has hope that things are changing, but then let each one end with him knowing theyneverloved him. Heartbreak after heartbreak after heartbreak. Let him see what it is to love someone other than himself and to find out he meantnothingto them.”
Minos nodded his head. “It seems fitting,” he said, looking at the demon, who looked gleeful. The human still looked pissed enough to come up and take a swing at Adam, but Adam wasn’t worried. A few decades of actually caring about someone and having your heart broken would teach this guy a lesson.
The demon dragged the guy out, and no one else popped in. “You seem restless,” Minos said.
“Well, I was thinking about sex. With you. Obviously. And it’s so cool what you do and I loved sitting in and helping in any way I could, but then sex brain took over, and that guy was just kinda boring, and I was thinking about all the things we could do…” Adam trailed off as he noticed a woman gliding in. And yes, this chicktotallyglided. She was gorgeous with curly, dark hair that looked straight out of a shampoo commercial. Damn, they knew their beauty products in the afterlife.
“Minos, darling, who is your little pet?” she purred, sliding into a chair at the other end of the room, her bare leg sliding out of a slit in her dress. Damn, she could totally be a model.
