đđ„This is an erotic paranormal novelđ„đ
Bile rose in her throat. It was useless to pray for anything reasonable here, but she hoped his supernatural powers didnât include dipping her in boiling oil like characters suffered in horror movies. âYou have to listen to me. Iâm not supposed to be inâŠinâŠâ She couldnât continue.
He looked at her questioningly. âYouâre not supposed to be in Hell?â
She nodded.
âIn that case, youâd have to be innocent.â He fingered his ring. âThe same as everyone else down here. Right?â
Her face grew hot. How dare he dismiss her concerns out of hand, not even pretending to listen to her. Fury replaced her fear, intense heat stinging her skin. âFor your information, I only signed the dumb contract because I needed the dough for my kid sisterâs experimental treatments since the stateâs program wasnât helping, she doesnât have any medical, her boyfriend canât put her on his, and mine was uselessâhigh deductibles, a lifetime cap, the insurance company denying everything. The jerk who conned me into this swore I wouldnât have to come here for decades, meaning when I got old and checked out. Iâm only twenty-five. For him to send me here immediately wasnât what I agreed to. He breached the contract particulars, which makes it invalid. No way am I staying.â She pivoted.
The door that had been behind her was now a solid wall.
Suppressing a shiver, she turned and faced him again.
He rested his hands on his flat belly and tapped his ringed forefinger.
Another normal gesture, except pure sinâthe good, sexy kindâradiated from him.
Her legs got watery, his effortless masculinity chasing away her outrage and terror when it shouldnât have. She locked her knees and squeezed her fists. âI want to talk to the person in charge.â
His eyebrows inched up. They were surprisingly dark given his light hair. âYou mean Satan?â
Who else? His was the only name she knew besides Androsâs. If she hadnât been too impoverished to save Hollyâs life on her own, she wouldnât be in this mess. Rather than pointing out the obvious and bitching, she poured on the charm. âYeah. Heâs good. Thanks.â
âWelcome. But as a newbie, youâll have to wait several eons before heâll put you on his scheduleâŠif he does.â
A shriek caught in her throat. âI canât stay here.â
He snapped his fingers. A paper bearing the word Contract at the top materialized next to him. He scanned the document. âAre you saying this isnât your signature? If itâs not, then you do have a valid complaint. Take a look. Please. Let me know.â
The paper flew her way. She skittered away from it. âWhat if it is mine? That jerk demon promisedââ
"Yeah, I got that.â He stood, his black dress pants hugging his powerful thighs. âIs your sister getting the treatments she needs?â Genuine concern rose in his eyes. âIs she better? Will she survive?â
His questions and unexpected worry touched her. âThe docs swear she is and will, butââ
âUh-uh.â He wagged his finger as he might to a rebellious child, his previous consideration gone. âWe met our end of the bargain, and now itâs time for you to do the same.â
Her blood ran cold. âThis is where the boiling oil comes in?â
He blinked. âWhat?â
She couldnât believe he needed an explanation. âYouâre going to torture me?â
âTorture? Like pulling out your fingernails or hammering spikes through your eyeballs?â
Sweat poured down her face and chest. She pressed her lips together, not wanting to give him any ideas.
Understanding sparked in his eyes. The emotion didnât last. âMoving on, letâs focus on your duties here.â He rounded his desk and leaned against it. âGiven your wait experience at Sally Jeanâs, youâll serve drinks in Hard Lust, the gentlemanâs club I own along with Racan and Vespar, who youâll meet shortly.â
She didnât understand. âGentlemanâs what?â
âClub. Itâs where the commotion is coming from.â
The wall trembled, pictures and mirrors jounced, crappy music swelled, and women and men bellowed in either pain or ecstasy.
He smoothed his pants. âYouâre on duty twenty-three-seven andââ
