Knot Today Satan (Unholy Holidays, #1)

by Calliope Stewart

To all my witchy girls who wondered what summoning a demon would be like, this one's for you.

Cleo’s medium of choice was, and always had been, sculpting. The several ceramic penises with ridiculously sized knots in our dorm room attested to that.

I had never understood the urge to plaster myself to someone so completely that I didn’t know where I ended and they began.

“Okay, I’m going to go and work on my sculpture. Let’s see how many penises I can sneak into it before the Gargoyle realizes, tootles!”

a nap was the perfect solution to all of the problems rattling around in my head. After all, I couldn’t get stuck in my own thoughts if I was asleep, right?

“Let’s make a deal,”

Sleep for the Devil is not something that happened often.

No, I didn’t sleep because I needed it, I slept because it let me take a peek at the world above.

But now, when my eyes opened, I realized that I’d gotten a little more than a taste of what was going on upstairs. I had actually interacted with someone.

“Good morning, Janice,” I greeted my secretary, who was a soul that was stuck in eternal damnation because she had a habit of poisoning her husbands for their life insurance policies. Regardless, she had been a damn fine secretary for almost fifty years, and I couldn’t be poisoned, so it was a win-win.

I sometimes missed the days when I could sit on my shiny black throne while each soul came up and pleaded their case to me.

No, gone were the days of begging good old Satan for reprieve. Max from HR had made sure of that.

He had, somehow during his pleading for his soul, convinced me that Hell needed to get organized and that I would have so much free time if only I just streamlined everything. It had definitely worked, so I had to give him that, but it almos...

The next soul, however, was the soul of a serial killer who had never been caught. His file was tossed straight into the ‘forever’ box. My demons, though Weber wanted me to refer to them as employees, would spend eternity making sure that the soul repented for his sins.

The only way for me to visit the upstairs was to be summoned by a mortal, specifically an omega.

Still, it was rare that something so interesting happened to me that I unbuttoned my pants and let my tail snake inside to pull my hard erection free.

I needed to get my shit together, I had way too much work to do and I didn’t need an omega getting in the way of it... no matter how good they smelled.

God, I was a little pervert, wasn’t I? I had just stumbled in on the guy I liked having sex with another girl, and even though I wished it was me, it had still made my insides clench with a deep seated need of my own.

Need. I could feel the omega’s need as if she was shouting it at me in my sleep. It tasted of tart apples and I woke up with it still on my tongue.

This time, her need had been almost as desperate as it was confused and I had wanted to curl around her and take care of the hot ache between the juncture of her thighs.

another emotion I couldn’t quite place. I wanted her, but unfortunately desire and want were two things that I had become acquainted with over eons of running my realm. It was not a new emotion.

I didn’t even know we had Post-it notes in Hell.

Quote

You are going to put on that costume and I am going to get you laid like the bad bitch that you are.

You all listen to Eden and do whatever she tells you to do. She is your master for the night, if she wants to step those pretty feet onto your backs in order to put something up, those knees better hit the floor,”

This would be a long night if I had to keep staring at grown men in diapers.

“I had all but lost hope that you would actually be able to summon me.”

“But you, my angel? You may call me Luc.”

She was prettier than I had expected. In all of the time that her soul had brushed past mine, I had never been able to clearly make out her features.

She was beautifully sculpted with plump curves underneath what I was realizing was, ironically, an angel costume.

“I’m not going to eat you,” I said with a snort. At least not in the way that you think, the naughty thought slipped in.

“I didn’t do it on purpose!” She buried her face in chalk covered hands and let out a shaking sob that went straight through me. The omegas weren’t supposed to be upset about summoning me, they were supposed to summon me with a request so that we could make a deal that ended in a mutually beneficial fashion.

“Are you talking about my slick? Oh, that’s gross, dude.”

“Your name is Eden?” I repeated incredulously. “You are an omega named Eden and you are dressed in an angel costume?”

My brain was still reeling from the fact that I was sitting on a leather couch and holding the hands of Satan himself.

my gorgeous angel,” he purred and I felt my cheeks warm at the nickname.

Despite how inhuman he looked, his laughter was like warm honey soothing its way across my hot skin and I very nearly leaned into him for comfort.

“I don’t require your soul, Eden, that is far too precious a commodity to barter.

I would like your heat.”

“To share it with you. I am of the alpha nature, in fact I gifted Adam, the original Alpha, with his knot so that he could make sure that his mate became pregnant.

My scent is akin to catnip for omegas

He reached out, hesitating only for a moment to check that I wouldn’t flinch away from his fingers, and brushed the warm pads of his fingers along my cheeks and down the side of my neck.

Luc continued as he explored my face and ran a finger along one of my blonde curls.

“I saw the way you looked at my horns, Eden. Even when you were afraid of me I could see heat behind those blue eyes of yours. You are much more perverted than you would like others to think.”

If I was dependable enough, people couldn’t leave me behind.

Quote I feel this on a personal level

With the introduction of Luc’s scent, all of my previous shyness and worry melted from my mind and I lunged forward and buried my nose against the column of his neck.

“Have you been with a man before?” He asked, his expression serious. I shook my head. “Never.” Luc’s grin was full of pointy teeth and I idly wondered what those teeth would feel like against the soft skin of my thighs.

“I do believe, Eden, that I am going to ruin you for any human man that you may encounter after me.”

Quote

Luc placed his hands on either side of my face and I felt the tingle of magic in his fingertips as he spoke again. “I want you to make us a nest.”

Luc, not needing any further encouragement, continued his journey down my body and as his hands slid down past my collar bones the silk material that my body was swathed in started to disappear as he touched it, like cotton candy melting in water.

Her scent was overwhelmingly sweet and it made my head swim
