Synopsis
Not long ago, necromancer Lionel didn’t know who his parents were or why they abandoned him. He’s starting to think that ignorance was bliss as the fact he has a death goddess for a mother is becoming increasingly hard to ignore. That his father is a murderous magic user comes as an even darker revelation.
Lucifer is well aware that his boyfriend and powerful necromancer Lionel is not the easiest person to love, but Lucifer is the Devil, and he doesn’t lie, not even to himself. He’ll take Lionel any way he can get him, and Lucifer will do whatever it takes to keep Lionel safe. It’s turning into a fulltime occupation with Lionel’s penchant for attracting murderous individuals.
Lionel will have to come to grips with his own still unfamiliar demigod magic before the past can catch up with him, but he also needs to figure out if and how he can love the Devil. Lucifer cannot wait for his long game to tame his stubborn necromancer to bear fruit, but before the Devil can savor his prize, he might have to rescue Lionel yet again, this time from getting lost in the labyrinth of the past.

I considered lying, just out of spite, but of course I was already turning a bright magenta. The clicking of claws on the floor distracted me, but of course, it was just beady-eyed Soul, here in time just for me to make my humiliation perfect and witnessed by the Devil and his poodle. Just fuck-a-tastic. She growled up at me, the little fluff ball with an attitude.
“I wasn’t looking to be with anyone,” I said. “People don’t have to constantly fuck other people, and it doesn’t mean anything if they don’t.”
“Give me a number, Nelly,” Lucifer said, and his sharp eyes were already bright with humor.
“Oh, fine. Zero. I never fucked a guy after I met you, but that doesn’t have anything to do with meeting you. The world doesn’t revolve around you, and neither does my libido, you know,” I said.
Lucifer just smiled his Devil-smile. “Both those things you cannot prove, babe, and unless you can, let’s assume they are true: you didn’t fuck a man because you saw me, your loins were forever lost to lesser men, and your world revolves around me.”
“I didn’t even say the second thing,” I grumbled.
He chuckled. “Details. And let’s take the burden of saying things completely away from you, shall we? Go upstairs, to our room, undress, and kneel on the bed for me. Facing the door.”
I had two very conflicting knee jerk reactions ready to go. One, tell the Devil he was an ass and could stuff that in his hole. Two, do it, but not like he’d asked, just go to bed instead of kneeling and waiting for him.
In the end, I dropped my chin, then lifted my head a half inch, barely a nod, but a nod all the same. When I walked past him, he stopped me with a gentle hand on my elbow and kissed my lips without making it sexual at all. “I love you very much, Lionel. Now go wait for me.”
And once he’d said that, my steps were light. For once, I wanted to do exactly as he said. My exhaustion was all but forgotten, replaced by expectation and something else that warmed me from deep inside me.
