"This vodka is shit," Samael says, swilling his shot glass in another of Asmodeus' dive bars. This one has succubi draped across the men and women like jewels, breasts hanging like necklaces from their chests. I'm cozied up to the Devil on his lap – the crown of the Prince of Darkness is a bubbly ginger ditz. I'm laughing at the ladies of the night and drinking one of those fruity fizzy red cocktails that Sam fucking hates.
"Want mine?"
"Hell no, tastes like a strawberry fart." Samael chugs the last of the stale vodka and tips his glass then flicks it so it rolls off the counter onto the beer-stained black carpet.
There are black lights flashing, bio luminescent demons and daemons and dreams. They dance in cadence with the bass of the moon, sinuous and arcing as lips lock and hips gyrate. I bob my head to the music, stroke Samael's shoulder, and this is a place no angel besides the lost would dare step foot in, the perfect place to fall into sin.
