“Sure,” he said. “If it was a freak accident or a medical emergency.”
My limbs were beginning to get sensation back in them again, the weight of them returning slowly.
“Everyone sees something different, but like I said before, you're in the murder limbo, babe, you need to listen and catch on quick, or you’ll be out of time.”
I stared into his wicked eyes.
“I might be a demon of the Underworld, but I’m here to help you,” he continued. “You deserve something nice after all that, and I can bring you back to life in a unique way.”
“Really?” I asked. “How?”
He smirked, the menace in his eyes glinting.
“By giving you pleasure.”
I stared at him,wondering what the hell he was talking about.
“Pleasure?” I asked.
He nodded, and I found my eyes trailing up and down his muscular body. At the swell of his biceps, the thickness of his shoulders, and the horns on either side of his head that were starting to look like handlebars. A vision flashed before me, and I imagined holding onto them tightly while I wrapped my legs around his neck.
A smile flickered across his face as if he could read my thoughts. I noticed he had a forked tongue.
“I’m a pleasure demon,” he said. “And I like what you have in mind.”
I stepped back, my heart randomly giving off a weak beat in my chest.
“It’s how you get the blood pumping,” he said mischievously. “Everyone knows that.”
I trailed my eyes down to his hooves and saw how huge they were. He was an incredible beast, one that was strangely handsome in a nightmarish way.
“And what happens if I don’t?” I asked, calling his bluff.
The demon shrugged his big shoulders and leaned back against nothing but the darkness.
“Then I’ll send you on your way upstairs,” he smirked. “But just think of the revenge you could have… I can tell you’ve got a wicked streak, that boyfriend of yours wouldn’t stand a chance.”
I found myself smiling.
I didn’t know what Jax had done once he'd driven the knife into my heart, but I could only assume he’d have made a run for it. It could be fun to catch him up and make him pay… if this was indeed as possible as the Underworld demon was telling me.
“Upstairs as in…?”
“The true afterlife,” he said. “You don’t belong on the floor below, trust me.”
He motioned his head to the ground, and I followed the direction, the stone under our feet began to glow with fire, and the sound of terrible screams rang out around us.
“That place is saved for sinners like your buddy Jax,” he said with an eye roll. “When he gets down here, he’ll pay for his crimes. But after you've had some fun with him first, of course.”
He winked, and it made me smile, casting my gaze shyly to the ground.
I pondered on it for a moment, the madness of it all merging but seemingly making perfect sense. The demon tapped his hoof against the rocks as if he were growing impatient, a sigh escaping the bud of his lips.
“Only a split second?” I asked him. “That’s all I’ve been gone?”
The demon looked at his wrist as if he was checking a watch, but there was nothing there.
“Longer now,” he said. “Jax will likely be making his getaway.”
