We started slow but built things up to a pace we were all happy with. Ripley did all the little things I enjoyed, but most people were too afraid to do with me. She bit, scratched, and pulled my hair just right. I was going to have Balthazar’s fingerprints bruised into my hips because he was just perfect.
I felt Ripley flutter around my cock. Balthazar flung himself over my back and sunk his fangs into my shoulder. Nosferatu did a wonderful thing making their bites painful or pleasurable. Of course, they could use their fangs to defend themselves, but more people were willing to let them feed on them when their venom was an instant orgasm if done right.
I already would have come hard between Ripley and Balthazar, but his venom just made it even more intense. I threw back my head and roared as I came.
We collapsed on a heap in the bed. Felix blew out the candles, and he and Gabriel joined us in bed. This was our reprieve, and we desperately needed this.
Tomorrow, we’d be back at work trying to round up Dorian Gray for Hell.

Bram
Ihad barely slept since we got back to Hell. Talvath wasn’t either. There were these coffee beans cultivated in an area of Hell that only someone like Talvath could afford. They had something similar on Earth, but it was a little different here in Hell. These massive cats that only existed here ate the beans and shat them out, where someone’s job was to collect them.
People drank poop coffee on Earth because of the taste. They drank it in Hell because something about the Hell cat’s digestive system upped the caffeine content, and you started seeing noises. I tried it once and thought I was dying. My heart was pounding in my ears, and I was sweating, even though Talvath liked his estate kept chilly.
Talvath drank that shit by the pot. He could get a little uppity when he was trying to right a wrong, but this was a massive wrong, and he was hitting the shit coffee really hard. We really needed help, but now he didn’t trust anyone in Hell, and he didn’t want to go back to Earth with me to get it there because those sigils were out there now.
He’d been through a lot. I saw the state he was in when I woke up at the library. What heneededto be doing right now was taking ten minutes to rest and deal with what he went through. He could do that if he let me bring everyone from the library here. We rarely did that here in Hell, but we could make exceptions when some asshole betrayed everyone here.
I’d been running between Talvath and Anod for what seemed like hours. Talvath wasn’t a hacker. He was a demon boomer who got mad at his laptop all the time if anything got updated. He was one of the smartest people I knew when it came to laws, history, and lore, but sometimes, he clicked on things he wasn’t supposed to, and I had to get the big gay orgy off his screen because he couldn’t figure it out.
I knew my way around a computer and smartphone, but up to a point. I didn’t get into things I shouldn’t because not even Talvath could protect me if I got caught. Balthazar could. I was pretty sure he could figure out our servers here with no problem.
“Bram, the men having sex is back. Come fix it,” Talvath said.
I sighed. It was always gay porn. Talvath wasn’t a prude, and he didn’t care I was bisexual, but I never thought of him as a sexual person. I didn’t even know he dated before he bought me. There’d never been a single woman in this house that I could remember. I just didn’t know how he always ended up getting his laptop stuck on a gay gang bang.
“You aren’t a hacker, Talvath. Neither am I. One of the guys at the library is. If I brought him back here, he could help.”
“It’s just not done, Bram. I know they are your friends, but you’d be putting them in danger—especially since they have a god with them. Have you forgotten why we live totally separate from Earth?”
“I haven’t forgotten. I also told them the truth about Hell and our deals. They had a right to know since they were risking their lives helping me find and rescue you. Reyson was furious about what happened to Lilith. It’s such a major part of our history, but the witches and warlocks feel like Lilith has abandoned them. She created them too, but she’s here with us, and there was a time they were being massacred. Reyson said none of the other gods knew what was going on, or they would have stepped in. They still don’t know. That was the first Reyson was hearing about it. I get all that was ages ago, but I think when this mess with Dorian Gray is over, he intends to find that god and kick his ass.”
“You know that, Bram, and now you’ve told me, but everyone else in Hell has a healthy mistrust of any god but Lilith because of what happened in the past. And I don’t really buy your Reyson, and the other gods had no idea what was happening.”
Did I actually know more about a subject Talvath dedicated his life to studying than he did? All because I met a god who was obsessed with my dick? If this situation weren’t so fucked up, I’d start laughing.
“I need you to keep this between us. When I talked to the people at the library, they offered a blood oath to keep what I was telling them a secret. Reyson revealed a good bit about gods too. They aren’t all-knowing, even though some of them pretend to be. They make mistakes. They are spat from the Aether with a purpose, and they all have different powers. Reyson can see possibilities, but he can’t outright see the future. None of the gods would have known what was going on with Lilith unless she asked for their help, and she didn’t.”
“Fascinating. I’d love the chance to sit down and interview an open god like that. Especially one of the original ones. It doesn’t change how things are perceived here in Hell. Someone is already after me. I’d have more if I brought outsiders and a god here. You’d be in danger too.”
“Talvath, you know I love you, but you’re miserable at computer stuff. If your research involves a library and dusty books, you’re in your element, but every time you use your laptop to try to find something, I always have to get porn off your screen. We need help.”
“I don’t disagree with you, but we can’t go back to the Library of the Profane. If Dorian tricked the librarian there into raising a god, and that’s where he’s living, Dorian will head there next. Reyson can handle a pesky human. We need to be worrying about the real problem—someone betrayed all of us. I’ve put in a request to see Lilith.”
I really hoped Anod came through with a vision soon. The witches and warlocks at the library seemed disappointed in her she had retired to Hell and left them to fend for themselves. I knew how they felt. Lilith also created hellhounds. We lived in the same realm as her, and she hadn’t tried to help us this entire time.
No, we couldn’t rely on Lilith. She had ample opportunity to do so if she was interested in being a god instead of living it up in her fortress with her angel lover. I really needed Anod to have a vision to get Talvath to break all his rules about bringing outsiders here.

Balthazar
This was it. We were snatching Dorian Gray in the morning. We had our beautiful orgy, and the next day, we went back to watching until his plane landed. I sent a message to Kaine to see if Silvaria broke. She hadn’t, but they were trying to crack the passcode on her phone. I offered to come in and do it for her phone and everyone they busted at the bank, but he said they had to do this by the book because they were all high profile.
I was up all night with Felix drinking coffee and watching Dorian’s apartment. We had a bit of an antagonistic relationship, but I counted him as a good friend. Everyone was sleeping while I streamed the cameras in Dorian’s apartment to the flat screen. We were pigging out and watching.
