"Well, well. Who have we got here?" A muscled woman rolled her tongue at Axel before her. Her long black hair reached her backside, while the most outstanding thing about her was her red skin.
"If it's not the dragon king himself," her blue orbs flickered. The red woman was wearing nothing but a dress that barely covered her sex and breasts.
"Lilith," Axel bowed at the sinister woman sitting on her throne above the stairs.
Lilith was a marquisate of the hell. She was the first woman and the most powerful creature of them all. Her one word would be enough for the men to die out. A smug expression on her unique face validated the fact that she knew all too well about her endless capabilities.
That smirk could make any nightmare come true.
"Yes, my child?"
Her tone was drenched with seductiveness as tempting a human was Lilith's second nature. The darkness didn't appear to hinder the queen nor the king as they both had lived in the dark long enough.
"I imprisoned my father, Abigor Kek, under your realm, in hell. Why is he out, and where did he settle down?"
Yes! Hell was Lilith's beloved home. So hot and comforting as the shrieks of poor souls lighted the darkness.
"Oh?" The red lips twisted in a snicker, "Really?"
Axel tried to be polite. He really did, but this woman could make any man lose his damn mind. "Spill it or else-"
"Or else what?" The woman flashed in front of Axel at immense speed and dug her claws in his rock-hard abdomen in a mere second.
"I'll kill you." Axel declared emotionlessly as his golden eyes threatened Lilith.
Lilith threw her head back and let out a peal of laughter. "Let me tell you something, Axel. I developed quite liking to ya."
She stepped backward, maintaining a safe distance between the dragon king. It was hard to say who would win if they clashed, but one fact remained unquestionable. Apocalypse would burst, and carnage would reign over the world.
The golden eyes met red as their owners' tempers riled, and a prolonged war knocked on the doors of humanity.
"We shouldn't," Lilith mumbled, but even her low voice sounded authoritative. Relevant to the queen of hell.
"Agree."
But their gazes didn't. They bored into each other and neglected passing minutes, which was crucial for so many.
"I'll tell you what," the temptress stated, "I'll divulge your father's whereabouts but nothing else."
Axel knew bawling Lilith's offer would lead to perilous consequences, so he nodded.
"Also, in an exchange, visit me next time with your beloved bride."
Axel's eyebrows knotted together as the non-expected words left venomous fangs.
"That will not happen!"
"Then farewell, my friend." Lilith laughed as she turned around to take her throne.
Axel growled as the clock was ticking and time slipping from his grasp. "Deal!" After all, Lilith did him a favor by referring to them as both Axel and Rebel could go underground together. And Rebel's safety was guaranteed with the king - Axel was the strongest.
"Abigor's at the abandoned mountain in the River kingdom," Lilith only faced Axel halfway. A twisted grin was evident in her voice. What were they up to?
***
[Rebel]
Abigor's grin widened as everyone there ogled me.
"What do you want from me?" I retorted through gritted teeth.
"Can't you see?" Abigor went on. I had an idea or two.
"I bet my stunt forced Axel to divulge your importance to you," he licked his lips, "Fucking you will unleash his immense power. Killing you would have been a logical decision, but as you can see, you are still alive."
The father and son were enemies? So, Abigor feared his son's abilities.
"Why? What good will I do to you?"
"Eh, sweetie. I can't reveal that much but for now, be grateful my boss spared you."
"But?"
Abigor smirked at my interjection.
"But instead, you'll play a double agent."
"No."
"Oh, yes. You will enlighten me with the case your king works on."
I knew what he was implying. Abigor aimed to obtain knowledge about the threat that was capturing my mother. But why? I had so many questions.
His lips twisted into a sinister smile. "So you know the world is an arm away from a haunting future promised by the unknown creature with queen Eres' powers."
"I will not be involved in your ugly games!"
"So, should king know about your little affair with Penum?"
My breath hitched in my throat as I froze dumbstruck. How did Abigor know?
"I did nothing wrong!" Suddenly, an urge to justify me came to me.
"Oh, we know that very well. But will Axel believe that?"
I already lied in Axel's face. My heart pounded so hard it would burst out of my chest. I had become a terrible person. I had no one except for Axel. My own thoughts shocked me but not because they were weird. No, they were true.
"You will regret crossing me." I hissed at laughing Abigor.
"Very well, princess. Mira will escort you to your room."
"For your plan, I will need to cooperate with lord Penum."
"Don't worry. Your secret is safe with me."
Abigor Kek would face my wrath once I had obtained enough power and influence.
The bird disappeared and I followed Mira, as she was the only female here. Actually, it would have been more logical if I said – she was the only one without cock and safe for me to stay with. Or so I supposed.
"Rebel, so tell me," Mira stomped like a kid in the dark hallways while I examined the walls. Yep, walls. "Did Abigor's joke frighten ya?"
Block!
Abigor's words played in my mind repeatedly – 'Choose the one out of my mates to pleasure you tonight.' So he was joking. Phew!
"He's just a clown who I already despise."
Mira laughed as she faced me and nodded her head. She was so attractive doing that.
"Agree. He is a clown."
"Now it's your turn."
I parted my lips, and Mira stopped in her tracks as she halted and her back zoomed in on me. How could she change from lively to this creepy?
I had to gain answers, and it looked like these bunch loved playing games as the title of clown wasn't offensive to them.
"I answered your question, so it's only fair, Mira."
Mira rounded briskly, taking me by surprise.
"So that's how you are playing. I like it!" Mira exclaimed and clapped her hands enthusiastically.
"Why does Abigor hate Axel so much?" I had a clue, though.
"You-"
The anticipated words were about to sink in my head, but something cut Mira off.
"Han! Harder!"
OH! C'MON!
My eyebrows furrowed, and my face contorted in utter revolt as nausea crept up my throat.
"Oh," Mira smiled and punched a hole into the wall.
My jaw dropped. What the monstrous strength?! Yep, I wasn't leaving this place in one piece.
"Rema! The hell!" Mira shouted at the pink-haired man. Rema had pink hair as I remembered. "Come here," then Mira beckoned me.
As I came face to face with the hole from which the light erupted, my eyes widened, and my mouth dried.
The pink-haired man was pounding a poor woman from behind at such a force that it was hard to believe their intercourse was pleasurable. Her lewd expression was beyond my imagination. Her eyes crossed, and her tongue lolled out.
Rema chuckled as he kept his lustful gaze on me. His purple irises were mesmerizing and tempting, summoning my attention to them. But my eyes trailed down involuntarily as his muscled abdomen tightened with every thrust. The woman was thrown forward with every harsh slam. Gosh, what was I staring at?! I turned my head to Mira, who was grinning wickedly. A blush covered my cheeks. I was so sure.
"You know what Rema specializes in?"
"Banging?"
Mira let out a laugh again, "Ah, not quite. But you are close enough. Rema is a master of mischief. He gambles, and in the case when he wins, he fucks the loser."
My hair stood at her sentence.
"Exquisite, isn't it? Do you know what's more interesting? Rema Han will die if he misses one day without sex."
"Rebel!"
My name that Rema voiced as he grunted earned him my horrified gaze to his yearning ones, "Let's bet."
