All Chapters of Loving Lucifer's Daughter: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

A demon with scales like shattered obsidian slithered forward, eyes downcast. I could smell the fear rolling off him in waves. Good.Dad's voice boomed through the chamber as he read off the list of offenses. "Gluttony beyond your station, theft of souls allocated to higher demons, and... attempting to seduce a Cherub?" He raised an eyebrow at that last one.I snorted, unable to hold back my amusement. "Seriously? A Cherub? Talk about aiming high and missing by a mile."The demon's scales rippled, shame evident in every movement. I almost felt bad for the poor bastard. Almost.Dad stroked his chin, contemplating. "For these crimes, I sentence you to six months imprisonment in the Pit of Wailing Regrets."I nodded in agreement. Fair enough. As the guards led the demon away, I felt Sebastian shift uncomfortably beside me. I turned to him, keeping my voice low. "You okay there, hot stuff? Not getting squeamish on me, are you?"He swallowed hard, his eyes darting between Dad and me. "It'

I raised my voice, the command ringing through the throne room. "Bring in the next batch of sorry bastards!"As the massive doors creaked open, I felt a surge of excitement. This was where things got really interesting. I glanced at Sebastian, curious to see how he'd handle the darker side of my world."Hope you've got a strong stomach, love," I whispered. "Because trust me, some of these fuckers make your average serial killer look like a goddamn saint." I sighed, stretching my neck as we wrapped up sentencing the last of the demon scumbags. Twenty down, who knows how many to go. The air in the obsidian chamber felt heavy, thick with the stench of brimstone and desperation."Well, that was delightful," Dad drawled, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "Shall we move on to the mortals, darling?""Sure, why not? Let's see what kind of bullshit excuses these idiots have cooked up."As if on cue, a trembling human was ushered in, his eyes wide with terror. Poor bastard looked like he was ab

I caught Sebastian's hands in mine, stilling his frantic examination. "Hey," I said softly, waiting until his dark eyes met mine. "I'm okay. Promise."He exhaled, tension visibly leaving his shoulders. "I know. I just... seeing you like that, surrounded by fire and ice, it was..." He trailed off, searching for words."Hot?" I supplied with a wink, trying to lighten the mood.A slow smile spread across his face, transforming his worried expression into something far more predatory. "Undeniably," he purred.Heat bloomed in my chest, spreading outward until I felt like I might combust. Before I could get distracted by him, I took his hand, and pyroported us back to my wing. Without breaking eye contact, I stepped back, my fingers finding the hem of my shirt. "Speaking of hot," I said, voice low, "I could really use a shower."I peeled off my sweat-and-soot-stained top, tossing it aside. Sebastian's eyes darkened, following the movement with laser focus. I smirked, enjoying the way his ga

"So," I said, locking eyes with the head of the lust sect, "about those new rituals you mentioned. I'm curious how you plan to ensure enthusiastic consent from all participants."He squirmed under my gaze. "Well, Lady Morningstar, we have implemented a system of controlled…"His voice trailed off, but something in his tone set off alarm bells in my head. I leaned forward, eyes narrowing. "Controlled what, exactly?"The demon's eyes darted nervously around the table. He licked his lips, voice dropping to barely above a whisper. "We've developed a new... elixir. It enhances desire, you see. Makes mortals more... receptive."Ice flooded my veins. I set my fork down with deliberate slowness, my voice dangerously soft. "Are you telling me that you're drugging mortals?"He shook his head vigorously, but I could see the panic in his eyes. "No, no, of course not! It's merely a mild stimulant, completely harmless-"I didn't buy it for a second. Without hesitation, I reached out with my mind, s

I froze, my hand on the doorknob. A new resident in the Styx? That was... unusual, to say the least. Dad wasn't exactly known for his hospitality when it came to unexpected guests."What kind of resident?" I called back, curiosity getting the better of me. Dad's laugh was dark and rich, like bitter chocolate. "Let's just say it's a bit of a special case."I exchanged a look with Sebastian, seeing my own intrigue mirrored in his dark eyes. "Well," I said, a slow grin spreading across my face, "looks like our little tour just got a lot more exciting.""Indeed," Sebastian murmured, his voice low and thrumming with anticipation. "I do love a good mystery."As we stepped out into the corridor, my mind raced with possibilities. Who was this new resident? One thing was for sure - our little jaunt had just become a lot more interesting than I'd bargained for. With a wicked grin, I grabbed Sebastian's hand. "Hold on tight, handsome. We're taking the express route."I focused my energy, feel
