Page 35 of Satan's Priest

I’d have let the girl do just about anything to me.

Back the fuck up, Daiman.

She was a kid, and I was older than the fucking planet. I couldn’t touch her.Wouldn’ttouch her. But now we had a big problem on our hands. Grace would need someone—an incubus, really—to feed her as much as possible until she could manage her powers and hunger without killing a male human.

Twisting the toothpick between my teeth, I watched as Grace turned her head, looking directly at me as she stood outside the home. I didn’t bother to keep hidden; the darkness that enveloped me disguised any key characteristics she could later remember.

Grace spun around and walked inside the house. Once the front door closed, I turned around and walked down the street to where my car was parked.

I entered the home I shared with Lucien.

“Where you at?” I hollered as I closed the door behind me.

I didn’t get an answer and sighed while shaking my head. He was likely in his office, either writing new songs or working on some paperwork.

I walked through the large house and followed the hallway to his office, then opened the door.

Well, well. What do you know? I was right. Lucien sat behind his desk, laptop open and eyes narrowed at the screen. He was dressed in his unholy gear that would make one think he was a priest. If they didn’t look close enough at his cufflinks with an upside-down cross, he would pass as one.

I dropped the pictures onto his desk and folded myself onto the large leather seat across from him. “We’ve got a problem,” I stated, now drawing his attention to me.

Lucien’s eyes narrowed more until they were tiny slits. He picked up the photographs and looked at them. The only sign of distress he showed was the muscle jumping in his jaw. “Is he still alive?” he asked, cutting to the chase.

“I checked on him at the hospital and he’s still living, though she put him into the ICU.” I shook my head and held back the grin that wanted to spread across my face.

Grace fucked him up, that was for sure.

Lucien sighed heavily, dropped the pictures onto his desk, and leaned back in his seat, annoyance crossing his face. “Did she tell anyone?”

“She talked to the police but didn’t give many details. She just said they were having sex and he got hurt. I don’t think that’s enough of a red flag for the church to become involved.”

The last thing we needed was for the Bible-thumping believers to come after her. That meant they had to go through us first, and I figured Lucien didn’t want to deal with that, either.

“By the way, did you ever find another virgin?” I asked.

“Stay on topic.” He worked his jaw, anger flaring in his dark eyes. “If she didn’t say what really happened, then there’s a good chance we don’t have to deal with those lunatics.” Meaning the extremist churchgoers or priests who would try to exorcise the demon out of her, which would never happen since she was the demon.

“So, what’s the plan now?” I folded my hands over my lap.

“It’s time I step in,” he said. Lucien turned back to his laptop and typed. “We’ll have to watch her twenty-four hours a day and make sure this doesn’t happen again. You’ll get close to the girl and teach her about being a succubus. I’ll find an incubus willing to sleep with her.”

I tensed and curled my fingers into tight fists. “Youdon’t want to do it?”

“I told you before, Daiman. I don’t give a fuck about her and want nothing to do with her. I sure as fuck won’t touch the kid. Doyouwant to do it?” Lucien glared at me, his fingers still over his keyboard.

I gritted my teeth, and my nostrils flared.

Lucien scoffed and turned back to what he was doing. “Exactly. I’ll find someone who will.”

“Fine, I’ll do it,” I growled.

Lucien smirked and turned to face me while folding his hands together on the top of his desk. “You know that means you have to stick your dick in her, right?”

“Yes, I’m aware.” I shook my head and rolled my eyes. “Where do you come into this picture? How will you watch over her while I’m with her all the time?”

Lucien’s lips slowly curved into a devilish smile. “I’ll be the new priest at Sacred Heart Catholic School. I’ll teach a class about demons.”
