“There are multiple dimensions to explore. I’ve primarily spent most of my time in Hell and on Earth.”

“Don’t you have a job to do?”

“Nepotism has its perks,” I say, smirking at her.

“Would you miss it? Hunting down demons, putting them in line?”

“No, but I would miss not waking up with you every day, seeing your dreams at night, your soft ass in my hands. Those are things I couldn’t live without.”

She smiles and leans her head against my shoulder. I still feel like she’s holding back from me, but at least she’s not flinching. “Do you know someone who can get Clover’s body out of my house?”

“Yeah, I know a guy.”

“He knows a guy,” she says softly. It’s not long till our moment is ruined and Stevie opens the door. She smells like sex and looks like she’s been completely defiled as she looks at her cousin.

“You’re good?” she asks.

Blair scoffs. “Clearly you’re doing better than me. Too busy to at least clean up the dead witch in our house.”

“Oh, yeah. I hate to say it, but I kind of forgot about her,” she says. Leaning against the doorframe and looking at Blair, she asks, “So what happened? How did you get her out of you?”

“You know, the simple case of I’m the devil’s daughter and Mara was a unhinged demon spawn looking for a vessel that could hold her. She has her own body now. She still seems bat shit crazy, but I guess I have a sister.”

Stevie looks uncomfortable. But Kas comes in and rubs her arm. “So I guess you got all the credit for her capture?” Kas says to Dax.

“No, I got told if I didn’t treat Blair right, my soul would get ripped to shreds.”

“I really needed Lucifer’s favor,” I hear Kas say.

“Why do you need Lucifer’s favor?” I ask. All of us looking at Kas.

“It’s complicated, and it doesn’t matter now. I guess it’s time I get going.”

“Wait, you’re leaving?” Stevie asks her.

“It’s been fun, sweet witch, but I can’t stay here any longer.”

Stevie glares at Kas. “Then I’m coming with you.”

Kas strokes her face with deep affection. “It’s too dangerous.”

“Why? Why would you make me like you and then just disappear?”

“I’m a demon, darling,” Kas states plainly as she turns around. Stevie sits on the bed with Blair. Clearly, both of them need time together. I kiss the side of Blair’s head before leaving the room and following Kas where she’s talking to Asmo in the living room.

“A little harsh, even for you, Kas.”

“It’s what she needs. Would you rather me put her in danger?”

“What danger are you in, Kas?”
