I worried, as last I checked, Darlene had kidnapped the tall, dark, and handsome and was dealing with him in hell. “And Yuless?”

“I’m sure he’s fine. At least Darlene isn’t tormenting him right now.”

I worried. “Did my expression betray my concerns?”

“No, Darlene is who she is, and she had him in her clutches, so he was clearly being tormented. How? That, I’m not sure. But he has escaped for now, so I’m sure he’s fine.” When I didn’t budge, Isaac dumped the towel on my head and went to work drying my hair off. “Lucifer bewitched your entry so it will remain clean, and he did the garage, too. Good deeds should not be punished, and if he’d already replaced your barn, your animals wouldn’t be living in your house right now.”

As Isaac would help me out of my clothes if I let him, I took over, giving a quick rub of my hair before returning to Zenzi and doing my best to get as much rain out of her coat as possible before giving up, placing my hand on her shoulder, and scraping together enough magic to warm and dry her off. “All right. I’ll go deal with Lucifer. Try to convince Ashley I’m just a hedge witch, please. I was just a particularly desperate hedge witch is all.”

“If you say so. I’ll do what I can, but I doubt it’ll work.”

I could solve four of the problems in my home with ease at least. “You’re an incubus. Distract her. Pick any suite you like and turn it into your den of debauchery, just keep the noise down. There is not enough alcohol in this place for me to cope with anyone calling me a goddess.”

He laughed, shot me a salute, and headed off. “Good luck with the Lord of Hell. He’s in a mood right now, and his wife isn’t much better.”

“The warning is appreciated. Should I ask how bad it can be?”

“It can be bad, but at least they like you.”

“That’s something at least,” I conceded, pausing long enough to give Zenzi another kiss on her nose before setting her loose to tend to Moon and settle in for the night. With a little luck, the Devil would have mercy on me, decide to be the adult of the house for a while, and send me to bed while he handled the rest of the day.

Hopefully, Donna Leanne would never learn of what had transpired above her home and the Destroyer of Georgia would forgive me for using his castle as a target.
