Chapter 2

A Dicey Deal

authors: Ben - red, Veyanne - yellow, Chris - green, Jody - Blue,Martin - violet

Kiri cracked the whip. A riding whip. Not a bull whip. It may sound strange but the first rule of being a dominatrix is not to hurt anyone. It's not the hitting that hurts, it's knowing that you are being punished. Hurting someone breaks the mood, unless they're into that sort of thing.

"Eyes down!", Kiri's voice echoed up into the rafters of Staples Center. The three kneeling men bowed their heads even more.

Kiri slowly walked over to the youngest of the three men and planted her foot on his shoulder. She'd caught him sneaking a peek at her. And who wouldn't dare? She was breathtaking in her red leather boots with spiked heels, her red leather mini skirt, her red leather laced corset, and her red leather gloves. Even her hair was red.

"Were you looking at me?", she said innocently.

The man trembled, "No. No ma'am."

Kiri started to stroke his neck with the toe of her boot. Her cunt was inches from the man's head, but he didn't dare to look up to see if she was wearing anything under her skirt. He feared punishment. Not so much what she would do to him, but what she wouldn't do to him.

"Don't you want to?", Kiri asked invitingly. It was a loaded question. No answer was correct.

The man started to say no, then stopped. He swallowed hard.

Kiri slammed her foot down on the hardwood floor. "Don't you ever let me catch you doing that again!" She rapped her whip against her boot to punctuate her screaming. The man's body jerked involuntarily at each crack of the whip.

Kiri slowly walked around the circle at center court. The three men were evenly spaced just inside of it. Each wore his official's jersey, his whistle, his underwear, and nothing else. For an hour Kiri had been berating them. Their knees ached. Their backs ached. Their ears were burning.

This was torture. For the three referees and for Kiri too. "Why can't I just fuck them?" she wondered. She knew why. Kendra told her that it's easy to wiggle your ass and get men to fuck you, but what they really want is something that they have to work for. The secret is to find out what that is and then drive them out of their minds with desire. If you do that they'll fuck your brains out and pay you a lot for the privilege. Kiri didn't care about getting paid, she let Kendra handle the money, but the first part really appealed to her. So she studied the art of seduction, mainly the parts involving the doing rather than the reading, and she learned to control her desires, well, as much as she was able to, and that wasn't very much.

Kiri was starting to lose it. Her mind kept drifting to the payoff moment when she would be making all three of them pleasure her. Three tongues, three cocks, three pairs of hands. She could hardly wait. So she kept her mind on her work by yelling really hard.

"Do you know why you're basketball referees?", she asked. The men did not dare to answer her. "It's because you can't play. You want to. But you suck!"

She said the word 'suck' as loud as she possibly could. The three winced, partly because of the volume, but mostly because that it was true.

"So you run up and down the court chasing the men that you envy. You call fouls and blow your whistles and you pretend to be part of the game. But you're not.", Kiri was trying to remember the things that Kendra had told her to say. Kendra didn't give her lines. Kiri would never remember them. Kendra just gave her a few key words for her to follow, "Suck, envy, pretend, jealous, worship." Five words. She could remember that much.

Kiri racked her brain. She got the first three. Now what was the next one?

"Jealous! You're jealous of them because they are so good and you are so bad. And the better they are the more jealous you are of them. And who are you jealous of the most? The best players in the game. Shaq and Kobe.", Kiri's mind snapped back to the previous night in the hotel room. Shaq on one end, Kobe on the other. The only time that they could get along was when they were both doing her. What great guys. They were both so good at filling the hoop.

"And because you're so jealous of them you call more fouls against them and try to make them lose. You're a disgrace to your uniforms.", The men all slumped a little lower to the floor. They felt like crap.

"You should be worshipping them. They are the gods of the basketball court. Instead you've almost made them lose the championship. And all because you are such losers yourselves.", Kiri walked around in front of them, looking at the bulges in their underwear, seeing who had the biggest cock. "But now you have the chance to prove that you're winners. Would you like that?"

The three men nodded. The oldest of them had a cock so big that his underwear could barely contain it. Kiri knew that if it wasn't inside her in five minutes then she was going to scream.

She stood over the youngest man and cracked the whip, "So Kobe and another player run into each other, who do you call a foul against?"

"The other guy.", he said nervously.

She walked slowly to the next man, "And if someone blocks one of Shaq's shots?"

"Goal tending.", he quickly replied.

Then she walked over to the oldest man and ran her fingers through his hair. She whispered in his ear, "And if the buzzer sounds when a Laker is shooting the final shot?"

"Umm, the timekeeper made a mistake. The shot counts."

"Very good. Now it's time for your reward."

Kiri went to the other two men, grabbed them by their whistles, and pulled them over to the older man. With her boot she forced him onto his back and sat on his face. Then she pulled one man's head between her breasts and the other man's head between her buns.

"You may not be the Lakers, but I'll bet that you're all excellent lickers. Now show me."

And finally they all got what they wanted.

Alone again. That was a good thing. Biffon loved to be alone. When he was alone he was away from the war, that never ending battle between good and evil. It was such a waste of his time. Angels and demons running around fighting each other, plotting against each other, trying to “win”. What a bunch of crap. The less he could get of the divine rat race the better. But he couldn’t avoid it completely.

Lounging around in a bar in Shal Mari with only a bottle of bourbon to keep him company, Biffon recognized a demon approaching his table. It was Hadrik, a demon higher up than he was in Kobal's association. Biffon didn’t have much respect for any of his so called superiors, and he had even less for Hadrik. Hadrik was a hustler, and trusting him was about as stupid a thing that anyone could do. Still, if he gave you an order, you had to follow it. But you had to watch your back.

“Ello Biffie. How's yer doin’?”, said Hadrik with a huge toothy grin.

"Struggling on regardless", Biffon took another drink from the bottle.

"Strugglin'? I heard youse doin' alright for yerself.”, replied Hadrik.  Word about his mission in the Market of Souls had got around. Biffon had made sure that the details made him look good.

"Success here and there, what's up?", even in hell, modesty was what the cool celestials oozed.

“Hey, got a jobbie for you, if yer interested. Ise got a mate, down in one of Haagenti's food halls, who is gunna cut a deal. He needs some backup. Some one to stand around and look out for him", Hadrik was trying to make it sound oh so easy.

"Haagenti's? So I'll need wipe clean clothes...”, Biffon began working on Hadrik. A necessity. “I can probably manage a bit of standing around; but some more detail on why muscle is needed would be handy."

"Oh, word is dat Asmodeus might have some goons sniffin about, and we'd need them, um, yer know, occupied, so dey don't interfere too much.”, Hadrik loved to do the mafia routine. He had spent entirely too much time in Sicily on earth. “Youse got yerself some friends, I hear, whose can help yer."

Friends. Biffon wouldn’t call them that. Biffon didn’t have any friends and that’s how he liked it. The less attention that he got the better. He’d even catered his physical appearance to drive off unwanted attention. His body was fat in an unattractive way and his face was bland and forgettable. Few gave him a second look.

"and... other than your undying gratitude, what do I get out of it?", Biffon kept working on Hadrik.

"Maaaate! I'll owe yerse one.", Hadrik grinned widely. "And the boss, he'll know youse done me a good turn"

"So, 'a wish and a prayer', huh?", Biffon needled him on purpose.

Hadrik winced when Biffon said "prayer". Things like that don’t go over too well with demons. Still, he needed to have someone do the job, so he tried to ignore it. "Not exactly, not exactly. You do a good job, I owes ya one. Whatcha fink?”

"I think that's vague... a dicey deal - unstated, for a likewise unstated payment, sometime, maybe.", Biffon knew that he could work something out of Hadrik.

"Aaawww, come on, man.”, Hadrik pretended to give in, “How bout I up the ante and offer you a meet with da boss?"

Biffon sighed, "Nah, just don't feel like walking into one of Haagenti's 'restaurants' with little idea of what's going on. And I need something to interest my 'friends'."

"Aw, crap. Er, ok.", Hadrik lowered his voice, trying to make it sound as if he was letting Biffon in on a secret “Well, what is going on is that a mate of mine, one of Haagenti's chaps, is cutting a deal with a Mammonite. And like, they don't want to be disturbed. So all youse have ta do, is keep the goons off dem. And as a sweetener to your mates, I dunno. Let me fink for a minnie"

Biffon imagined grinding noises coming from Hadrik’s head.

"Olright, I'll throw in some stuff. Just trinkets, roigh, like dis" Hadrik held up a small necklace, which Biffon recognized as a reliquary, what demons used to store their essence. "Give ya two of dem"

"hmm, 2 toys, 3 friends... my math ain't so hot... but there seems to be a small problem here.", Biffon was pushing for everything that he could get.

"Cripes, it ain't dat bigger job, mate. Er, I might be able to dig sumat else out, but by the bloody nostrils of gzortch, yer pushin'. Might end up owing me a favour.", Hadrik was putting on an act, but Biffon knew that he was close to the edge. Still, one more push maybe...

"One of my 'friends' is rather carnally inclined... there might be something other than goods, chattels perhaps,” Biffon grinned, “that might persuade her..."

"Er, what?" Hadrik was caught off guard for a second, "Um, I dunno. Maybe a mate of mine might be interested."

Hadrik looked about nervously, "Look, I'm onna budget and a time limit here, youse wanna the job, or not?"

Biffon knew that he had gotten all that he was going to get, "Yeah, OK. When, where, and all that."

Hadrik grinned again, from ear to ear. His mouth is completely full of teeth, like a sharks. "Tonight. Down at the Big Buffet & Burger Bar"

Biffon nodded.

"Rioght, I'm off. Me mate at the BB&BB goes by the name 'Jamana'. She stands out a bit, being a Haagentian. Contact me here once you're done", Hadrik turned and stepped quickly through the smoke of the bar. He didn’t want to give Biffon any time to change his mind.

"OK, I'll see what I can manage.", Biffon said to Hadrik’s back, then muttered under his breath, “Moron.”

It didn’t take Biffon too long to round up Kiri, Liander, and Shelak. Kiri had a pager, Liander had a cell phone, and Shelak could always be found at the middle of the nearest bar fight. As much as he tried to resist it, they had become friends after the last mission. Kiri had invited everyone to her place in Northern Italy for a private party to get better acquainted. It was Kendra’s idea. She liked to use Kiri to get her hooks into more demons. But it didn’t work out quite that way. Kiri wanted to do everyone at the same time. Shelak wasn’t interested and Biffon didn’t like the group thing. Biffon liked Kiri, and didn’t mind the thought of doing her. But it had to be on his terms. Maybe sometime when they were both alone together and no one else would find out he would give in and have his way with her. But this wasn’t that time. So Kiri and Liander disappeared into the bedroom and didn’t come out for hours. Eventually Shelak and Biffon got bored. Biffon amused himself by booby trapping all of Kiri’s kitchen appliances, then headed out to the nearest bar with Shelak to terrorize the locals. It wasn’t the best time that he’d ever had, but it beat hanging out at a low rent bar in hell, which is where he found himself with his new friends.

Biffon explained the details to the others. They weren’t paying much attention. Liander was bored, drumming his fingers on the table. Shelak was picking on anyone within earshot. Kiri was checking out everyone in the room trying to figure out who she wanted to do next. For some reason she was wearing a nun’s habit and looked completely out of place. Not that some nuns didn’t make it to hell, but the ones that did didn’t go around with a lustful look in their eyes and a smile on their face.

"I know something that we can try", Kiri whispered in Liander's ear followed by a description of a sex act that Liander could only describe as a “helicopter maneuver”.

"Now?", replied Liander half seriously.

“Umm, ok.”, Kiri replied completely seriously.

Liander chuckled, "That was a joke, dear. We're on the clock now"

"Yeah.”, said Kiri wistfully, “Oh wait, you said 'clock'."

Liander tried to keep his mind off sex, which was almost impossible with Kiri sitting next to him. He turned to Biffon, “Ok, so we play body guard and run interference, basically?"

"Yup.", replied the heavyset demon.

"Shall we go and scout the place then?", Liander prompted.

"Sounds like a good idea to me.", Biffon was happy to let someone else take charge. He was a born follower, that is when he did care to follow.

It was hard to imagine four more different demons walking together down the street, but there they were. Kiri kept whispering descriptions of weird sexual positions in Liander’s ear. He stumbled a bit as he tried to imagine how to do them.

Finally he was able to get a word in, "So what's with the habit?"

“I was at a nunnery.”, said Kiri.

“Looks most... impractical”, Biffon added.

"Inaccessible was the word I was going for actually", Liander commented, looking at the long flowing robe.

"Not if you don't wear anything underneath", Kiri pulled up the skirt revealing her naked legs.

Liander took a peek, "I stand corrected."

"Nuns have more fun than you think.", Kiri said smiling.

"Hmmm, tell me about it sometime. Or better, show me heheh", Liander joked again.

"It's the communion wine that does it for them.", Kiri said in all seriousness, "It makes them go wild. I'll sneak you in sometime."

Liander thought to himself, “And she probably could...”

The Big Buffet & Burger Bar was a large, long building with many long tables, each with benches rather than chairs. The far end of one wall was a huge buffet table, mostly covered with food. The food was pretty low quality. Biffon looked around the bar. What a dive. The food smelled awful, like a Macdonalds which has been left in the sun for too long. The sign said ‘all you can eat’, but it was more like ‘all you can stand’. Demons and lost souls crowded the booths and walked about. Gloom was in the air. The demons ate for free, but the lost souls paid in Essence.

"Guess I'll have to buy a set of monk's robes, just to fit the part. Gaw, this place reeks.", Liander then turned to Biffon "You couldn't have found us someplace that knows what an air freshener is?"

“The place and time are not of my choosing.”, Biffon said apologetically.

Biffon looked around, he noticed off to one corner an incredibly thin woman, so thin that he could see the bones in her face and arms. It was Jamana. She was just sitting there watching the crowd.

Kiri looked around for a woman too. Her eyes settled on a hot young demon across the room.

Liander squeezed Kiri and whispered "See anything... interesting?"

Kiri pointed at the hot demon.

Liander took a look. “Not bad.”, then turned to Biffon, "So Biffon, where's this Jamana person?"

Biffon pointed to the thin woman, "Shall we wander over?"

Liander took a look, "Eh... that's bad."

Shelak, Liander and Biffon got up and headed over to Jamana’s table. Kiri got up and headed to the other woman’s table. Liander glanced back at Kiri and sighed, muttering, “I hate having a sense of duty.”

Then he politely asked Jamana, "Are these seats taken?"

"Sorry? No.", Jamana took a long look at the three odd demons.

"Hadrik tells me you need a hand?", Biffon started the conversation up.

"What's that slime ball up to?" Jamana said looking at Biffon suspiciously.

"Not much that I have anything to do with.", Biffon said. He hated going on Hadrik’s missions. It seemed like he had to apologize constantly.

"Humph. So he sent you here? Why?", Jamana didn’t trust Hadrik either.

"He reckons we might be of assistance to you, something about some Asmodeians", Biffon said, trying to probe Jamana for the information that Hadrik had left out.

Jamana looked a little shocked "What do the Asmodeians want with me?"

"I have no idea.", Biffon was trying to get her to lighten up, hoping that maybe she would clue him in.

"Argh, so you three are my 'backup'?" Jamana looked over Shelak and Biffon and glared at Liander who was trying his best to look charming. "You don't look like much"

Liander extended his hand, "Don't trust first impressions. My name is Liander"

Jamana stared down at Liander's hand. Liander slowly pulled it back. Jamana was starting to get annoyed. "Ok. Um, if you guys are my muscle, mind blending in a bit more. I’ve got some people arriving shortly."

"Certainly”, Liander replied, moving off to another table and ordering something light. When his food came he tried to eat it, but it wasn’t easy. Biffon got a bag of barely edible crisps and sat down next to him.

Shelak went to the buffet and joined them with a burger and fries, “Want me to go pick a fight or something?” he suggested. He didn’t get an answer so he turned his attention to his food. The burger was undercooked and the fries were foul and greasy. “Just like mom used to make.”, Shelak blubbered, shedding a mock tear.

Kiri approached the young demon girl, she was hot. Sitting next to her were a couple of young demons, obviously her friends. Kiri began working her charms on her. "I love what you're wearing. It looks great on you."

"Gee, thanks.", muttered the young girl, blushing.

"Can I sit here?", Kiri pointed next to her.

The girl moved over, pushing a couple of her companions along the bench. "Um, sure."

"My name's Kiri. What's yours?"

"Ziaan"

"Ziaan. I like that name. What do you like to do for fun?", that was Kiri’s favorite line. It was her only line. It put people in a good mood.

"Um, torture the souls of the dead, mainly. You know, hang out and stuff. What about you?"

"Screw”, said Kiri and without missing a beat added, What's your favorite torture?"

Ziaan was getting tongue tied. Kiri’s charms were getting to her, "Um, oh, just stuff, you know."

"Like whips, or chains, or showing them bad movies?", Kiri smiled.

Ziaan blushed again "Oh, um, no, more like pulling their Essence out slowly and cutting their fingers off and stuff."

"That sounds like fun.", Kiri smiled widely and put her hand gently on Ziaan's thigh.

Ziaan jumped and blushed even more. "Oh, um, ah, what are you doing?"

One of Ziaan's friends leaned over to her, "Dis nun boffering you, babe?" he growled from between large tusks.

"Oh, I'm sorry.", Kiri quickly pulled her hand back.

Ziaan turned to tusked demon, "No, it's ok Grillus. She's just being nice."

"I apologize. I'm new at this. Can you forgive a sister?", Kiri grinned sheepishly.

"New at what?", asked Ziaan.

Kiri was definitely not new at this. She seduced men and she seduced women. Some days she felt like one and some days she felt like the other. Today she was into women and Ziaan’s shyness was turning her on. Well, to be honest just about anything turned Kiri on. But Kiri knew how to work her charms on the shy ones. The trick was to get them curious, but not to be too forward. You get them hooked and slowly reel them in.

"Well," and now it was Kiri's turn to blush, "you are like, sooo hot."

Ziaan’s face was completely pink. "Um, thanks. You're pretty hot yourself you know."

"Thanks. Have you ever thought about, like, doing something just for fun?", Kiri giggled like a schoolgirl.

"Sure! I like fun stuff. Like what were you think of doing?"

Kiri smiled.

Liander was smiling too as he watched Kiri but it faded when he saw three large demonic forms enter the bar through a side door and head up to the buffet. They filled up plates with greasy food and then made their way towards Jamana's table.

"May we sit down, my lady?", the one in the lead asked as he nodded his head.

"Hello Marduk. How's it hanging?", Jamana replied.

Marduk smiled and smoothed his suit with one hand. "I am well." He took a seat, pushing some souls out of the way. The other two demons with Marduk also sat down, but sat further back.

Biffon looked around casually, trying to spot anyone particularly interested in Jamana and her friends. Even though the place is pretty full, he noticed a smaller demon sitting at the far end of the next table over. The demon was occasionally glancing over towards Marduk and Jamana.  He had an ear constantly turned towards Jamana’s conversation. Jamana and Marduk were discussing what sounded like a property deal. Marduk was trying to buy some land in Shal Mari, which Jamana was selling.

Biffon quietly pointed out the smaller demon to Shelak and Liander, who both took careful looks in his direction. The small demon seemed to be ignoring then, and appeared to be paying attention to his food. But his ears kept rotating in all directions, listening to everything Jamana and Marduk said.

"Marduk, that's the price my master will accept. No less. Is your master willing to pay that?"

"The price is steep, but I think it's acceptable. It will take us a while to procure the items, though. And I will have to confer with my master, to make sure it's all acceptable."

"Well, then, how long do you want?", Jamana asked.

"Three days. We meet back here then."

"Of course. See you in three days then, Marduk."

Marduk and his associates got up and headed off, passing by the table where a nun was propositioning a young demon.

Kiri leaned over and whispers in Ziaan’s ear, "Like doing the nasty with another woman?", then she covered her mouth with her hand.

Ziaan jumped, and a look of surprise crossed her face. "Oh! Um... Oh, wow!" She leaned over to whisper to Kiri "Like, you mean, you and me?"

Kiri doubled over and giggled. Then she whispered back, "Yeah.”, she pulled back and smiled, then leaned forward added, "Like you and me and, like, anyone else you want..."

Ziaan was completely flushed with excitement, "Wow. I mean, like, you're really hot, and wow! Um, I've never done it with a girl before. What's it like?"

"It's like, umm, it's like...", Kiri couldn’t describe it in words, so she described it with actions. She reached over and slowly caressed Ziaan's cheek, and then gave her a kiss.

At first Ziaan was hesitant, but after a few seconds she returned the kiss. The other demons at the table had all stopped eating and were now looking on in various states of shock with their mouths hanging open.

Kiri kissed Ziaan deeper and ran her fingers through her hair. She could feel Ziaan’s nervousness fading away, being replaced with desire. She knew that it wouldn’t be long now. The other demons at the table began to make bets on how far they would go. Kiri knew the answer. All the way and back again.

Biffon noticed the small demon getting up and moving off through the crowd. He motioned to the other two and they all got up to follow him out.  Liander glanced back at Kiri as he followed at a discreet distance. “Dammit”, he whispered to himself. Half of him was disappointed that Kiri wasn’t coming with them, and the other half was disappointed that he couldn’t stay with her.

The small demon headed outside into the busy street and aimed straight at the pay phone across the road.

"Think you boys can make sure that phone is out of order?", Liander said casually, knowing that between Shelak and Biffon the phone didn’t stand a chance. They both nodded and went into action.

Biffon followed the little guy through the crowded street with Shelak on his heels. Both their minds were awhirl with ideas on how best to destroy the phone, and the demon should it come to that. Shelak hoped that it would come to that. The three reached the phone at almost the same time. As the demon punched the numbers Biffon leaned up against the back of the booth with his entropy field on. That was one of his powers. The field rapidly reduced the phone to useless junk.

The small demon hung up and looked over at Biffon, frowning. "What did you do that for?"

“Oops. Clumsy Calabim”, replied Biffon not the least bit apologetic.

"Well, that was stupid! I need to use a phone." The small demon headed up the street, looking for another phone.

"Hey, friend, sorry. How can I help? Let me buy you a drink.", Biffon tried to be friendly, but it wasn’t something that he was very good at.

"Um, what for? I'm working. Who are you guys, anyway?", the little demon was getting agitated.

Liander felt that it was time to use his power. He stepped in front of the demon and turned on the charm.

The small demon smiled at Liander "Well, I suppose I have time for one drink. Sure, why not?"

Liander extended his hand, "Excellent, what’s your name friend?"

“Busticle.”, said the small demon as he shook Liander's hand. As he did so Liander used another power on him to probe his past. Busticle was a young demon who remembered being made by Asmodeus only a few months earlier. Asmodeus was using him as an information gatherer, and had recently sent him into Shal Mari to keep his ear to the ground and see what he could overhear.

"So what're ya doing in this neck of the woods?", Liander asked.

"Oh, just enjoying some time off", replied the small demon.

Liander gave him a confused look then shook it off, "That place is a dump".

Liander whispered to Shelak and Biffon. "Was it wise to leave Kiri alone back at the burger joint?"

"You go on ahead, I'll go see if I can drag her off whoever she's with...", replied Biffon.

After a long time Kiri slowly pulled away from Ziaan and said, "It's a lot like that, only a lot more."

Ziaan took a moment to open her eyes, and close her mouth. She was getting more and more excited by the minute, "Oh, wow! Like, can we go somewhere or something? I'd like to do that again"

"Yeah.", Kiri replied and gave her a long French kiss.

Ziaan responded with enthusiasm, pressing her body against Kiri’s. There were several catcalls and whistles from the other demons at the table. Neither Ziaan or Kiri cared the least bit about them.

Kiri rubbed her hands all over Ziaan's body and kissed her face and neck. Ziaan moaned and reciprocated. They began kissing with real passion. After a few more long deep kisses, Kiri asked Ziaan to sit up on the table.

Ziaan blushed again. "Um, are we going to do this here?!" she squeaked, "Can't we go somewhere more private?"

"I.., I..", Kiri kissed Ziaan again, "I can't wait. You are sooo turning me on."

"Yeah," she mutters, "but let's get out of here." She stood up and took Kiri by the hand. "C'mon"

Ziaan dragged Kiri outside and into a car parked nearby. "This is Grillus's car. He won't mind us being in it."

Kiri didn't wait to get in the car. She embraced Ziaan and starts working on her top. Ziaan opened the door and pulled her into the back seat, closing the door behind them. Ziaan was panting and making small sounds of excitement as she helped remove her clothing. In no time at all Ziann was naked. Kiri then pulled off her habit easily, as if she'd done it before many times...

Kiri then paused to look at Ziaan's body. "Wow!" Seconds later her hands, mouth, and tongue were all over it.

Busticle lead Liander into a nearby bar, and ordered a beer for himself. Liander sat down and ordered the same. "So, you've got the look of a newbie, if you don't mind my saying so."

"Yeah, I'm only a few months old. You been around the block a bit?"

Liander chuckled at that "It's all relative. But no, I haven't been down this end of the celestial for long."

"Yeah? I've not been topside yet. What's it like?"

Liander looked distressed for a moment, then replied, "Oh, you meant Earth..."

"Yeah, corse. Where else is there?" He looks confused.

"Uh, nevermind... Earth. Nice digs, lots of little hoomans to play with", Liander breathed a sigh of relief. It wasn’t easy to tell that he was a fallen angel. Few could. But for a moment he wondered whether the demon meant heaven when he said ‘topside’. He did not want people to know, least of all a newbie like Busticle.

"Is playing with humans as much fun as playing with souls? They seem to be very depressed here"

"Well, you can't just go tossing them into boiling oil and have em pop back up screaming like you can here...”, then Liander thought again, "Well you can but it's over real quick"

"Really? Why not?", Liander’s sense of humor was completely lost on Busticle.

"They tend to die, plus it makes a whole lotta Symphonic noise", Liander then added a few hard earned words of wisdom, "Make to many waves up their and you'll have the Host on your ass faster than you can blink. You gotta be subtle but it can be so worth it"

"Oh. Hadn't thought of that. No noise down here when you put them in boiling oil, apart from them screaming. Which is always fun.", Busticle lied. He hadn’t done any of that. He wished that he could. But he didn’t want to look like a total newbie in front of Liander.

Busticle finished his beer "I really should get to a phone."

"Alright, later man. Don't be a stranger.", Liander looked pensive as he drank his beer. His mind wandered back to the Big Easy. He watched Busticle make his call on a phone in the bar, then come over and say goodbye.

"Thanks for the beer, I gotta go. Things to do, ya know. Maybe we can have another beer some other time."

Liander nodded and waved, turning back to his drink. When it was finished he called to the bartender "Something stronger please."

"Scotch ok?"

"Sure."

Biffon looked around the BB&BB. There was still a big crowd, but Kiri was nowhere to be seen. He spotted Jamana still sitting at her booth watching the crowd. When Jamana saw Biffon she got up and made her way across the room towards him.

"Nothing exciting happened there, don't think I needed you guys.”, Jamana was just as confused as Biffon. “Thanks anyway. You going to come back in three days?"

"Three days?", Biffon couldn’t believe it. Then he remembered who sent him on the mission. He believed it. “Bloody Hadrik”, he silently mused.

"Yeah, when I meet with Marduk again"

"If that's the 'all you can eat’ day, I'll pass, I think.", Biffon tried to make light of an annoying situation but nothing seemed very funny at the moment. So he turned to sarcasm, "Oh,... is it likely to be as ‘exciting’ as this time?"

Jamana shrugged, "I got no idea why you guys would be here, I mean, it's just a boring deal, nothing exciting going on at all."

"That's odd... "

"Yeah. Anyway, I'm off. Got things to do. See you in three days." Jamana headed for the door.

"OK.", Biffon wasn’t completely convinced the nothing was going on. He turned to Shelak, "Someone thinks it was important enough to report on, though..."

“Back to Liander?”, suggested Shelak.

“Guesso.”, replied Biffon.

There was still no sign of Kiri, but that was no big deal. She was a big girl he thought to himself, she could take care of herself.

Ziaan pulled the dark skinned Lilim down on top of her, offering her body up to be play with. Kiri wasted no time doing so. She sucked on Ziaan's nipples until she moaned, licked her belly button until she giggled, and licked her cunt until she came. Ziaan loved every minute of it.

"Do you want to be the 6 or the 9?", Kiri asked.

"Whatever!" Ziaan replied wrapping her lips around one of Kiri’s nipples

Kiri turned around went back to making Ziaan moan. She was happy now that she's back to doing what she was doing when Biffon paged her, and in the same position too.

Shelak nudged Biffon, “We should page Kiri, y' think? To let her know to meet in three days. Is her pager alphanumeric?”

“Yeah.”

On the way to the bar Shelak stopped by a payphone and messaged Kiri: "Have Fun. We're all dead. Thanks.", he smiled imagining the distress it was going to cause her.

Kiri’s pager was going off, and right in the middle of sex! Kiri pulled the pager out of her bag and looked at the message. “Have fun...” it said. She didn’t bother reading the rest.

Ziaan was writhing underneath Kiri, moaning and crying out with pleasure, biting her thighs and licking you all over. "What's that?", she said in between moans.

Kiri put the beeping thing back in her bag and pulled out the buzzing thing. Then she put the buzzing thing into Ziaan.

“Ohhhh!” Ziaan screamed and quickly had a messy orgasm all over the back seat.

Kiri smiled and tried to make that happen again. But soon her concentration went out the window, as Ziaan's tongue found the right spot to lick.

"Oh, yes, yes, yesssssss. Keep doing that.", Kiri’s orgasm crashed over her as Ziaan kept her tongue going around and around.

Kiri writhed and shook and cried out, "Oh yessss." When she finally calmed down she put her hand on Ziaan’s head, "You're good, Ziaan. You're so good."

"You're pretty damn good yourself.”, Ziaan replied eyeing Kiri’s vibrator. “Can I use that toy of yours?"

Kiri pulled another one out of her bag and handed it to Ziaan. "I have all sorts of things."

Biffon and Shelak quickly found Liander in a nearby pub.

"All quiet back there. Where's our little friend?", Biffon asked Liander.

"He ran off", Liander replied, not caring much at all. "So what now?

“We drink.”, answered Shelak, ordering a martini.

Biffon ordered a bourbon and sat down next to Liander, "Oh, well Jamana didn't seem too concerned; she reckons part II goes down in 3 days. She wanted to know if we'd attend, dunno if you'd be interested though..."

"May as well... Hmmm three days. Maybe Kiri can show me that Nunnery.", Liander grinned.

Ziaan smiled lustfully and took the vibrator. She switched it on, and looking Kiri in the eyes, started giving it head. Kiri smiled back and rubbed Ziaan's nipples with the other vibrator. Then she leaned forward and opened her mouth.  Ziaan pulled the vibrator out of her mouth and put it into Kiri’s. Kiri started sucking on it as Ziaan slowly moved it in and out. Then Ziaan pulled it out and slid it down Kiri’s body towards her cunt. Kiri lay back on the car seat as Ziaan pushed the vibrator inside her. Kiri arched her back up and gasped as Ziaan started fucking her with it, slowly at first, then faster and faster.

"Oh yeah, fuck me. Fuck me hard."

"Given Busticle was so keen to report the deal it might be a little more strain than tonight." Biffon gulped down his bourbon and ordered another.

"He's a newcomer, Asmodeus only made him a few months ago and told him to do general eavesdropping", Liander knew a lot about Busticle, but it wasn’t very much.

Biffon looked out the window and pointed. Liander and Shelak turned and saw a couple of larger demons, who looked like Djinn, walk up to the entrance of the BB&BB and check it out. Rather than going in, they backed up and headed into a nearby alleyway.

“It's the smell.”, joked Biffon.

"Hmmm, those look like fine upstanding citizens, eh?", Liander commented.

“Nice chaps.”, Shelak added.

“A little hard to tell here, really”, Biffon responded.

"Well, let's check on Jam then. Wouldn't be very good body guards if we didn't", suggested Liander.

Shelak drank yet another martini, “Y'all let me know when *hic* I'm getting fit-shaced, 'kay?”

"She said she was headed off, but yeah, guesso.", Biffon gulped down his second bourbon.

"Right, you're there.”, Liander said to Shelak. “Let's go."

Ziaan grinned and started fucking Kiri harder and harder. She leaned over and flicked her tongue over her hard nipples, biting on them gently.

"Oooo, ow, ah, yeah. You've done this before haven't you?", Kiri spoke between gasps. She was loving it.

"Um, nope, but I'm a fast learner." She kissed down Kiri’s body and began to eat her whilst still fucking her with the vibrator.

Kiri rubbed her own nipples and felt herself building to another orgasm. She felt the waves getting stronger and stronger. Then her orgasm arrived with a rush, overcoming her completely. As she shook and moaned and came Ziaan kissed up her body, and kissed her mouth passionately. Kiri was in a state of bliss. She closed her eyes and felt the waves of pleasure washing over her. She loved sex. She loved it more than anything. It was all that she ever wanted to do.

"Oh wow, that was like totally cool. Can we do it again?", Ziaan looked down at Kiri, her eyes were on fire with desire.

“Yeah”, said Kiri with enthusiasm, “Only this time let's trade places."

Liander, Biffon and Shelak wandered back down to the BB&BB. It was still packed full but Jamana and Kiri were nowhere in sight. Sitting at a small table, in a cafe in the alleyway, were the two Djinn. They were ignoring everyone, and sipping at their coffees.

Liander casually wandered over and sat at a nearby table, trying to get an earful of what the Djinns were saying.Shelak found a seat next to him and ordered a scotch. Biffon did likewise and ordered a bourbon.

“It's a cafe.” the imp waiter sneered at Shelak, "We don't do alcohol."

“Fucking imp. I want scotch.”, Shelak replied, showing some teeth.

"Alright, alright! Hold on." Minutes later the imp returned with a bottle of nice scotch.

The two Djinn were muttering quietly with each other and Liander couldn’t hear a thing that they were saying over the din of the crowd. He leaned a little closer. Meanwhile Shelak was adding to the din.

“Bartender!”, Shelak shouted as he walked over to the bar, “Gimme a latte'...no straw.”

"One latte coming up.", the imp answered breathing a sigh of relief. It was customers like Shelak that had made him switch to working at a coffee shop.

With Shelak on the other side of the cafe, Liander could finally hear the Djinns.

"How long we waiting again?”

"Three days"

"Crap! We're gunna miss Farmllak's party"

"Yeah, but the boss said bring them in, so we have to wait"

"Damn, sometimes I hate my life. Wish I was up top, playing with humans."

"Shut up. Let's just wait."

Shelak found his way back to the table. His latte was terrible and he tried to make it better by adding some scotch to it. “Waste of good scotch.” he concluded and went back to the bottle.

“Here, try some bourbon as well.”, Biffon suggested, “Enough and you won't be able to taste the latte.”

Liander whispered the details of the Djinn’s conversation to Biffon and Shelak.

“We can’t watch them for three days, they're likely to get a bit suspicious.”, said Biffon, “Where's this party?”

Shelak sprang into action. He stood up, sloshing a bit o' Scotch, and hiccuped his way over to the Djinn’s table. Subtlety wasn’t his strength, strength was. Liander grimaced. The two Djinn gave Shelak the hairy eyeball as he approached.

“hic, where'sh the parrrty?”

"Why should I tell you?", answered one of the Djinn.

“'cos I wanna party, hic...thish...thish plashe is shoooo...borink...all the shisshy drinks...”, Shelak burst out in giggles for no reason.

The Djinn glanced at each other. The second one answered, "Ok" and gave him directions.

“thanksh, guysh...”, Shelak tottered over to a corner and sat down, pretending to fall asleep.

Liander just shook his head.

Ziaan was at Kiri’s mercy. They’d been at it for hours and Ziaan was running out of steam. Kiri never got tired of sex. She could do it for days and sometimes she did. Kiri was kissing Ziaan’s face, neck, and breasts and working the vibrator slowly in and out of her cunt and low speed. Ziaan moaned weakly. She didn’t want it to end, but she was starting to realize that it was going to have to.

Just then they heard a knock on the car window. Kiri ignored it and Ziaan was too far gone to care. The car door opens and several demon heads poked in. They looked on in amazement for a moment, then the door slammed shut behind them.  After a few moments there was another knock at the window.

"Are you nearly finished? I want my car back!", Grillus shouted.

"Wait a sec.", said Kiri as she turned the vibrator up all the way.

“Ohhhh,”, Ziaan gasped as she grabbed for the vibrator. Before she could pull it out she was overcome with another orgasm. Her body shook as the waves washed over her, then she collapsed. Kiri pulled out the vibrator and shut it off. Ziaan was a gasping and incoherent wreck, covered in sweat and nearly unconscious. Kiri kissed her one last time, grabbed her habit, and started looking around for her next victim. She gave Grillus a saucy look.

Grillus scowled at her, but also looked a little interested. Kiri started to work her magic on him.

"You look horny", Kiri giggled.

"You done? Can we take her home now?", Grillus was trying to keep up his angry demon act.

The scene caught Liander’s eye, "There she is.", he said getting up and heading towards the car.

"She's done. I'm not.", Kiri flashed Grillus a smile.

"Errrr?", Grillus was speechless as Kiri put her hand on his chest gave him a light caress.

"You never are...", said Liander, walking up behind Grillus.

Kiri's hand began to drift lower.

"Rrrrrrgh", Grillus fought hard to look like a tough guy.

Liander cleared his throat, "Kiri, I'm sure these nice folks would like to be getting on their way now."

Kiri's hand drifted lower still...

Grillus grabbed Kiri’s wrist just before it reached into his pants. "I like boys. You don't have anything I want. Back off."

Kiri didn’t back off, she never did. Instead she turned on the vibrator, "I can be your boy too."

"Oh mother of...", Liander grabbed Kiri's other wrist and pulled her away.

Kiri let herself get dragged away, "Later.", she waved at Grillus who let her go.

Liander glanced back into the car as they left.

“I like boys?!”, one of Grillus friends said laughing.

“All this time and we had no idea.”, said another friend.

“Shut up!”, he shouted back. It wasn’t easy being a sensitive guy in a demon’s body.

Kiri pouted, "Young boys have all the fun."

Then she smileed and turned to Liander, "Are you still on the clock?"

Liander stopped and smiled at her "We've got three days of nothing, except for a party Shelak found out about tomorrow night"

"Party!!!", Kiri shouted as she did a little dance.

"I thought you might like that", Liander tried a little joke with her, "We don't know who's going to be there though, so please be on your best behavior"

"Yeah.", Kiri replied. Another joke over her head.

"Ziaan was great.", Kiri mused "but I think that I overdid her."

"Will she recover?", asked Liander. Kiri gave him a confused look.

“It’s got to be her, it can’t be my jokes”, Liander thought to himself.

Kiri and Liander walked over to Biffon and Shelak. Kiri still hadn't bothered to put her habit back on. Walking around nude was no big deal for her, even in crowded streets. It helped her get what she wanted faster. Sometimes putting clothes on and taking them off again was a real nuisance. So unless she had to, she wouldn't.

"So like, what are we going to do until the party?", asked Kiri provocatively.

"Drink!", said Shelak as he ordered another.

Biffon was busy trying to find words as Kiri walked right up to him and began caressing his rotund belly.

"I know something that we could all do.", she said as she wiggled her finger in and out of Biffon's belly button.

Biffon wondered if Kiri was going do him right where he was standing. His extra folds of fat weren't going to stop her from finding what she was looking for. He reached down to stop her but then relaxed and thought for a moment. Kiri was kind of like he was, well, at least in that she didn't care about the war between heaven and hell or about demon politics. She wasn't trying to win his favor or steal something from him or get him to do something for her, well, other than doing something to her. "So why not?", he thought to himself. Sex for fun with someone he had something in common with. A kinship. A bond. That was a good enough reason. Well, that and she was making his cock really, really hard.

Kiri's hands had found their way into his pants.

Liander cleared his throat, "Umm, perhaps we should get a room?"

Biffon thought about his place. It was a dump. It was his place to crash and that was all. No one ever came there so he never bothered to clean it up. It looked like hell, in more ways than one.

"I know a decent hotel nearby.", he said pulling Kiri's hands free.

"Works for me.", Liander replied, "Shelak, you cumming too?"

Shelak took one look at them and turned back to his bottle. "Go fuck yourselves."

The bed was too small for the three of them. Well, the bed was too small for Biffon and anyone else, but Kiri managed to figure out some things that they could do. The small bed wasn't the only thing making it awkward. Biffon wasn't quite sure what to do or if he wanted to do it after all. But after a lot of persuasion from Kiri he was ready to give it a try. In time, they were all able to relax and start enjoying themselves. That's when Kiri's pager went off.

It was Kendra. She had a job for Kiri on Earth. It couldn't wait.
