Page 47 of Lucifer's Redemption

"Leave!" Athena shouted. Her blouse was now untucked from her pantsuit and her glasses were askew. "This is proper education. It isnotthe place for your crude tactics. I need you gone."

Ares stormed into the room anyways, polishing his nails on his white muscle shirt. "Listen here, sweetheart. I know my way around some things. I think I could help little Uriel understand what a man has and what he should do with it." Ares strode up to Athena, who backed away and grabbed the clicker.

Ares had a wicked grin on his face. His eye twitched as he looked at Mariah, winking at her while she blew him some air kisses. Looking at both of them, I saw there was an undeniable connection. As soon as they were in the same room, they were fawning over each other, looking deeply into each other's eyes.

"Now! I mean it, Ares, you cannot do this. Neither Lucifer nor Hades will condone your presence here." She attempted to retrieve the clicker, but the War God lifted it above her reach.

"Now listen,Professor, why don't you sit down, and I'll show you how to remove that pencil up your ass so you can put something nicer up there instead?"

Mariah giggled, pointing to Ares. "Yes, he means that. Much nicer."

"Gods," Ember gasped. "Ares, this needs to be PG-13—no triple X stuff allowed! Do you understand?" Ares only chuckled, not even answering her.

"I don't see how this is supposed to help me," I spoke up.

"How does this help explain the tingles I had?" I whispered to Ember. I looked down into my lap, where my legs continued to cross and uncross of their own accord. I wanted the tingles to go away, but by the way everyone acted, it sounded like someone else had to take the tingles away—like a mate.

I don't even know where to find a mate or how to know if I have one?

Ares' eyes glistened with excitement, covering his mouth, rubbing frantically over the scruff on his chin. "Okay, wait—back this shit up!" He clicked backward, showing the lower half of a woman. "Holy crap! Now that's a bush!" He roared with laughter before he looked at me, "Just so you know, you don't need to grow it like this." The laser pointer swirled all around the area.

I gasped again, closing my eyes.

"Hey, pay attention! I'm the teacher now, and I'm gonna teach!"

"Since when do you know a female's anatomy?" Mariah joked, fiddling with her fingernail.

"Take last night for one: I had you singing two octaves higher than that singer, Mariah Carey." Mariah gasped, throwing a ball of paper at Ares' head.

Ember leaned towards me, nudging my shoulder. "I'll teach you what you need to know. Come on."

We both stood from our chairs, at which Ares' head whipped around quickly. “Aye! Where you goin’! I haven’t even shown you what a cock is!"

Ember and I were halfway out of the room, but my curiosity got the best of me. Athena sat, passed out in the chair with her mouth hanging open. I could definitely see why. There was a picture of a large male body part on the screen.

"This is a male's dick!"

I saw similar pictures of that part on animals because that was the only way to tell if an animal was a boy or a girl, but I had never in my life seen a picture of one on a man!

It was scary.

"Ares!" Ember growled deep within her body like there was an animal inside her. "That's enough!" She widened her stance with her fists clenched together.

"How is that"—I pointed my finger shakily—"supposed to make me, um…?" My question was directed to Ember, but Ares, giving a dangerous smirk, had the laser pointer point to the…thing.

"This…" he laughed circling the image of the male part. Ember growled again in warning.

My body shook, not understanding the emotions radiating in the room—heat, tension, anger, and excitement all rolled into one. I could feel it all.

Ember's hand grabbed mine, rubbing her thumb along my hand. "I will call my mate," she warned.

"Goes into"—Ares continued unperturbed by Ember’s warning. His thumb clicked back to the woman's lady parts—"here!"

I stared, wide-eyed with a slack jaw. Ember's eyes were closed, breathing deeply.

Hopefully, she is counting to ten. Luci's whole family has some anger issues.

Ember's grip became tighter until she calmed, and the growl subsided. "How dare you." Her tiny feet padded three steps away from me before she turned to face my horrified expression. "It isn't just doing that." Ember's hands reached for mine, cupping them in hers. "It's about love and trust. You can show love by doing special things to one another. Not just by doing what Ares said."
