worn by Diemos’s guard concealed him well. So far he’d gone unnoticed. He needed to keep it that way, for everyone’s sake.
His female kept her head down, clutching her healing bowl, moving quickly toward Diemos’s quarters. Fear prickled all over his skin. He didn’t want her anywhere near that fucker on a good day, but right now, fuck no. Diemos had been on a rampage, furious about something and taking it out on anyone who went near him. Scarlet was determined to go, though, and they both knew that if she didn’t obey after being summoned by the king himself, someone would come looking.
He had no idea if Diemos knew who Scarlet really was. If he even knew that Tobias was in Hell. Lucifer had been the one to send him here, perhaps he’d concealed Tobias as well somehow?
He hadn’t had a visit from the king of Hell, and Tobias assumed a knight in his domain would have warranted some personal attention.
So for now, he was working under the assumption that he was flying under the piece of shit’s radar.
If only he knew what the fuck Lucifer wanted him to do. Instead, he’d gotten a cryptic, “You’ll work it out, asshole. And if you don’t, shit’s about to get apocalyptic around here.”
He did know once he’d completed his first task, the new powers that Lucifer promised him would kick in. He didn’t give a shit about power, not anymore. He just wanted to be with Scarlet, keep her safe, and help his brothers. But Lucifer had informed him that he’d need them.
Again, he had no fucking clue why.
So yeah, no pressure.
Scarlet walked straight up to the charred wooden door. Taren, the sadistic fuck and Diemos’s right hand, opened the door for her, his black eyes locked on her in a way that made Tobias grip the hilt of his blade tighter.
The other male closed the door after her and thankfully stayed where he was, holding sentry, barring anyone else from entering the room. Scarlet told him about the female Diemos kept in there. At first, he thought Diemos, being a sick and twisted individual he was, was getting his rocks off dishing out a little torture, but the female had been here a while now.
She was never allowed to leave Diemos’s room. Trusting no one but his right hand to stand guard.
This female was important. Somehow Tobias needed to get to her. Scarlet had been building trust, getting closer to her, and was going to try to learn more. But if she was overheard, if Taren walked in and heard something—
Tobias gritted his teeth.
The best way to make sure that didn’t happen was to create a distraction, and with the way that fucker was eyeing the door like he wanted to follow her in, Tobias had to do it now. The alternative was killing Taren, but that had to be a last resort. Diemos would want to know what happened to his favorite and that wouldn’t end well for anyone.
Fuck it.
Tobias grabbed a demon as he walked past and tossed the ugly fucker with all his strength at Taren, then stepped back into the shadows.
Taren’s bellow of rage echoed off the stone walls, and the demon snarled, looking confused and pissed off. Taren grabbed him by the throat, and the demon tried to take a bite out of Taren.
A female thaneous demon shrieked and ran at them from out of nowhere, going for the demon. All four of her arms swinging, clawing, trying to protect Taren, not that he needed protecting. He was doing more than fine on his own.
How sweet.
Taren smashed his fist into the demon’s face and tossed him aside, and the female rushed to him, trying to inspect him for injuries. Taren pushed her away, but she came back, this time on her knees, and reached for the front of his pants.
Taren arched a brow, then shrugged, watching with dead eyes as she shoved his pants down, pulled out his cock, and started sucking him off. Her long lizard-like tongue lashing out between his legs, sliding over his balls, and kept on going. Tobias could hear Taren’s gasp and growl when she slid that tongue right up his ass. That was some serious skill.
Taren obviously thought so as well because his eyes weren’t quite as dead anymore.
Well, there you go.
Couldn’t get a better distraction than that. Tobias stayed where he was, watching the door for Scarlet and hoping Taren didn’t blow his wad too soon.
