Ways Forward

Standing Belial looks at me, his anger is almost entirely gone, but now there is hurt there in his eyes.

"The truth, now." He waits for me to talk.

"It isn't how Lucifer said." He looks hurt. "Yes he came by, and yes he mentioned that if I fucked you he wouldn't stop because he didn't care. Yes part of me considered it, to see but that wasn't why."

"Anais, you're going to start a war, one which results in your death." He doesn't look happy with me.

"Listen, just listen Belial! Yes, I was going to, but then stood there, seeing you I realised the number of times I walked away, avoided you for Lucifer. I reminded myself how often I craved your touch and told myself off because of Lucifer. I didn't want to hurt him or him to leave me, this, right here was me saying fuck Lucifer, and taking something I wanted."

"Answer honestly, he had walked in and told you to stop, told me to let you go. If he had said to you he wanted you, if he was his normal self, then what?"
