“I hate it when you talk during movies,” Demos said. “Shut up. This is fucking engrossing.”
“Both of you shut up. I love listening to her scream,” Tryphon said. “It’s like music.”
“If I didn’t know those screams meant she was enjoying herself, I’d stop this,” Hephaestus said.
“I said you could watch. I didn’t say you could give a running commentary,” Kimon roared. “Shut the fuck up.”
I knew that glint in his chocolate brown eyes. He wasn’t mad at them. He was amused and turned on. He buried his face in my neck and bit me so hard, I felt blood dribbling down my neck. I bucked underneath him as he pounded into me. I wanted more of him. I wanted him as deep as possible. I loved everything about this.
Kimon was panting and blowing smoke out of his nose. I was still in my demonic form, and I didn’t even care about the awful yowling noises I was making. We were both worked towards one goal—orgasms for both of us. Mine was coming at an alarming rate, and I knew exactly what to do to shoot him over the edge. All my monsters liked a little pain.
My entire body bucked when my orgasm hit. I used the momentum to bury my fangs in his shoulder. Kimon roared as his blood spilled into my mouth. He pounded the last of his orgasm into me as my body felt all the aftershocks from mine.
Kimon collapsed and released me. He rolled over and pulled me to his chest. I snuggled in and put my demonic form away. He turned his head to the sofa and smirked at everyone who had watched us.
“Fuck all of y’all. I get big spoon tonight. I don’t care whose turn it is.”
Tryphon just stretched and yawned.
“It’s mine, but I’m not going to fight you on that. River must be exhausted after all that. Especially after you. We should get some sleep.”
It exhausted me. My body ached in the most delicious ways. We did it. We beat the bad guys, changed an entire realm, and we’d now fucked each other senseless to celebrate.
I just wanted a fucking nap now.

y father was away dealing with the wayward Kitsune for a good long while. Long enough for me to see Lis several times. Cerberus demanded to know every little thing I did, but it looked like he was going to be a dad to six three-headed puppies. Lis was going to need a C-section to deliver, and she was totally fine with that if it meant she and her puppies survived. Cerberus took some convincing because he thought the entire thing sounded barbaric.
I had my own vet clinic in the Underworld and cell phone now. My monsters were even busier than ever because Persephone was now pregnant, and Hades had gone just as crazy as Cerberus was over babies. He turned an entire wing of his castle into a nursery and wanted bodyguards on Persephone at all times.
Hephaestus was in the process of building a forge in the Underworld to rival his volcano and had taken on a few apprentices. He had an entire cyclops clan who wanted to learn from him. It was beautiful.
We’d all settled into our jobs, and some Underworld vets were a little upset with me for stealing their clients. A few of them didn’t and took me under their wings. The Underworld had dogs and cats, but they weren’t any breeds I was familiar with, and some animals they had domesticated for pets were so far beyond my scope. They were absolutely adorable, but some of them appeared to be mammalian and avian at the same time.
I was closing my clinic and locking the door to go home when my phone rang. Hades programmed my father’s number into my phone, and I squealed when I realized it was him. I had missed him.
“Hi! How’s the Kitsune?”
“Back with her people, and she brought a few extras back to Hell with her. Getting all of them out of a magical prison was difficult, but we managed. I’m home now. Care to pay a visit to your dad?”
“Oh, my god, yes! I’ve missed you.”
“Bring your men. I’ve already had a wing of my castle redesigned for all of you. I’ll come to pick you up in an hour.”
“We’ll be waiting.”
I felt my eyes mist up. I thought Hades was going overboard, turning an entire wing into a nursery, but now that I knew my father had done the same thing for me, it was pretty fucking impressive that a dad would do that for their kids. My stepdad told me I couldn’t paint my walls black when I was going through my goth phase, and I was still a little angry about that.
After meeting my dad, Solron, Charley, Finn, and everyone else living in Hell, I was super curious about it. I even wanted to meet Bael despite knowing I might not even be able to look him in the eyes after Solron over shared about their sex life.
I opened a portal and stepped into Hephaestus’s forge. I loved visiting him here because he looked the same as when we first met—shirtless and covered in soot. He wore that look exceptionally well. He was closing up shop for the day. He caught me when I ran to him and flung myself in his arms.
“Hello, little Hellspawn. How was your day?”
