|Luxinia|

I found myself looking at the spot where Jesse sat. I still smelt his cologne and it killed me. I still felt his arms around me. I still felt his lips touch my head. I still felt him. I wanted him to run back and take me out of this place. There was so much that I was feeling at that moment and I didn't know how to cope with it.

So I started to cry.

And not the sobbing kind where no tears come out. No, I was silently crying, with a multitude of tears running down my face. My shoulders heaved and I wanted to scream. I threw my head back and screamed, but no sound would come out. I've screamed for so long, nothing was left.

I so desperately wanted Jesse to help me and take me out of this hellhole. I must've pictured a million different scenarios in how he would take me out of here. However, all seemed hopeless. Dominick wouldn't let Jesse take me. Not now, not ever.

Dom approached me, his steps heavy and loud. "You stupid b***h, didn't I f*****g tell you to make yourself scarce? I told you they were coming. You had to show yourself? You wanted to be discovered. If Bloodtrei thinks that I'm going to kill you, then I'll be in trouble. Don't you understand that?" Dom grabbed me by my hair and yanked me off the couch.

Pain flared up throughout my scalp and I whimpered, trying to fight him off. The shitty thing is that when someone has you by the hair if you tug away from them more, the more it hurts. There's no winning in this situation. "Let me go!" I tried to scream, but all came out was just a croak of broken words.

"Storm f*****g picking you up and thinking that he could help you!? Did you beg him to save you like the little b***h you are? You know what this means right? Not only you will pay for this, but so will your little succubus friend. I bet she regrets ever meeting you!" Dom picked me up by the throat and slammed me into a wall so forcefully that I swear I would feel the wall cracking behind my back. My eyes settled on Dom. 

He was so angry that his face was contorted with veins throughout his forehead. Part of his face was shifted in his true form. Greyish skin spread along the side of his face and his eyes were as black as his soul. A horn on his forehead and grown out and one ear was long and pointed. The hand wrapped around my throat was no longer a hand yet was a vice with claws. My hands reached up to his scaly one and I tried to pry his long fingers off.

Dom's other hand reached out, grabbed my breast and squeezed. Squeezed to the point that I was sure his nails were cutting into the sensitive skin around my n****e. I cried out, hearing my hoarse voice trying to emit some sort of sound. "You like that you slut? No? Well I bet if your f*****g lover Storm was doing it you would be screaming in a different way. Too bad he isn't here."

Dominick released my breast and I silently breathed a sigh of relief. He glared at me, his grotesque face scaring me to no end. I never thought that I would ever have to see him again. 

I thought that me killing him would be the end of that. I never knew that incubi were able to resurrect themselves. If I did, I would've made sure that Dom's body wasn't left on the floor.

"If I knew that you would be resurrected, I would still kill you again, especially since the last thing you saw was me ripping your f*****g throat out," I spat, knowing that would anger him, but at this point, I simply didn't care. Seeing Jesse had awoken something in me. Perseverance? Determination? I don't know, but all I knew is that anything that Dom threw at me I could handle it.

Or maybe if he got his anger out on me, he wouldn't hurt Tessa or Jamie. I still haven't seen them nor I knew if he had them or not. This whole time using them as leverage against me could be a bluff. He had told me he had Jamie in custody, but I wasn't sure. I hadn't seen him. Multiple times he had threatened me that if I did anything stupid he would hurt the one whom I loved. However, out of fear of him doing so, I let myself be his personal punching bag. 

When he was angry I let him hurt me, just so he wouldn't hurt those who I loved. I could bounce back to whatever he did to me, but Tessa? She didn't know what it felt like to be abused by her master. She had Jamie. He would never lay a hand on her. And Jamie? He already been through hell with Dom. He was a weaker incubus. I couldn't let him suffer just because of my baggage. Dominick was my problem.

Dominick let go of me and I slid down, hitting the floor hard. He grabbed my arm and dragged me to the white leather couch. I crawled over to the corner of the couch, wincing when my ankle dragged. The first thing Dom did was shove me down the stairs and shatter my ankles by stepping on them. He claimed he didn't want me running away from him. Shortly after, he sprained my wings. I tried to escape through the roof by crawling up there and using my wings, but he found me quicker than I could leave and he yanked me down, hurting me. He wanted to make sure that I couldn't escape.

And he got what he wanted.

I was going to eventually die here if I didn't do anything about it.

Dominick grabbed my wrist and pulled me to him, placing his heavy arm over my shoulders. "I went to your office today. You should be grateful that I'm nice enough to make sure your editing company is running well. Your assistant Jameson came back. And she remembered exactly who I was. I told her that she was to take care of everything while she took another vacation. Once I feel that I can trust you enough, that's when you can return back to your job. Of course, I'd have a bodyguard with you at all times. I'm glad that you're doing well for yourself." Dominick stroked my hair, his hands shoving through the tangles.

I winced, feeling his finger get stuck on a big tangle. He still ripped through, not caring that it hurt. His eyes wandered to mine, devoid of emotion. "Are you going to say thank you?"

I nodded, trying to smile. "Thank you." It took almost everything from me to form the words to please him.

Dom leaned closer and his hot breath tickled my ear. "I know you don't mean it, but I'm not going to punish you. I'll just punish Jamie. I haven't seen him in a while," Dom kissed my cheek.

My eyes grew wide and before I knew it, he was kissing me passionately. I mashed my lips down, making sure that his tongue didn't dare slip into my mouth. However, Dom had different thoughts. His hand slipped under my ripped shirt and he pinched my right n****e, hard. I gasped, my mouth open. He slid his slimy tongue into my mouth and I tried to push him away. That's when I felt it.

The s*x energy.

Dom has this power that was consuming. He was as strong as Jesse, if not stronger. His magic was probing and uncomfortable and it bothered me that he had one-upped me. I spent so many years learning how to counter s*x energy. Most can't affect me. But Dom's... I couldn't fight against his. I could never.

Instantly, any immunity I built over the years crumbled as his s*x energy invaded all my senses. My body grew hot and my n*****s hardened. Pure aching traveled through my body. There were no other thoughts. Just him and wanting him inside me.

I moaned softly, arching my back slightly. Dom chuckled venomously and kept massaging my breasts, making me full of need. "I know you want me inside of you. Tell me what you want."

I squeezed my eyes shut, trying to fight off what I was feeling. This wasn't real, this couldn't be happening. I didn't want him. Think about what you do want Lux! Jesse. That's who you want!

I slightly pushed Dom away, but he didn't notice. He lifted up my shirt and started sucking on my n****e. I ignored him, trying to take my mind off what he was doing. He was so focused on trying to get himself off, he closed off his s*x energy. Eventually, it would be over. He would be happy end of story.

Dom stiffened and sat up, staring at me through cold eyes. "I have work to do. But before I go I wanted to let you know that the annual New York incubus ball will be held here. I need you to behave that night and get your act together. Later in the week, I will send someone to make you beautiful. Behave."

Dom got up and left the room. I took a sigh of relief and took in the information he gave me. There was going to be a ball. The annual New York incubus ball. Every incubus from New York would be here. That meant that Jesse would be here. I would be able to see him again. If there was a chance to get out of here with Tessa and Jamie, the ball would be the moment.

|Jesse|

"f**k! Why didn't I f*****g take her?" I shouted, enraged. I picked up my glass of whiskey and threw it across the room, reveling in the feeling of it shattering into a million pieces. I watched the liquid fall, with the pieces of glass shimmering along with it.

"You didn't take her because there would be no place for you to go. What would you have done? Waltz out of there with no problem? No, Dominick wouldn't let that happen," Blair explained, watching me intently.

"I could've taken him down," I snapped, looking at my apartment. I had torn it apart out of anger and I knew that eventually, I would have to clean this on my own.

"Yeah and then Bloodtrei would've taken you down," Blair sighed, probably already tired with my s**t. I couldn't help it. Leaving her, the way I did, what if something happened?

"f**k. I should've done something," I muttered, throwing myself on my sofa.

"You do realize that the annual ball is going to be held at Dom's place right? There's going to be so many people that they wouldn't notice you taking her," Blair explained turning on my TV, or at least what was left of it.

I stared hard at the ground, trying to figure out how it would happen. "You're right. But I don't understand. How could Lux be with Dom? She isn't his claim anymore. Lux was Jamie's succubus."

"Have you seen Jamie?" Blair questioned, getting up and wandering to my small kitchen.

"No, I knew he was texting me, but that was it. I never answered," I frowned, wondering why the f**k didn't I reply, "I'm going to Lux's place. Jamie has to be there."

Blair frowned.

I arrived at Lux's place in less than thirty minutes. I may have skipped red lights more times than I should've. My knuckles were already rapping on the door waiting for someone's answer. Immediately, someone answered it and I saw a girl who I clearly remember looking at me. Tessa stood in front of me a scowl etched into her face.

"What do you want?" She snapped, keeping the door barely open.

I pushed out my senses trying to see if Jamie was inside the apartment, I didn't sense Jamie, but I did sense an extreme amount of power coming from inside. "Where's Jamie?"

"Didn't you hear? Dominick Petrove is alive. He took Jamie. Now you know, so go," Tessa snapped, glaring.

"May I come in? It's pretty chilly out," I zipped up my jacket higher, hoping that I didn't seem too threatening to her.

She stared at me and seemed to think about whether or not should she let me in. Tessa had every right to kick me out and not let me in, especially to what I did to her. Forcing a woman's mouth to my crotch wasn't really cordial which was unfortunate.

Tessa opened the door wide, swiping her arm to let me in. I walked in, instantly noticing that there was an incubus stationed at the corner of her room. He looked like her bodyguard, but upon close inspection it was more like he was watching that she didn't leave this apartment. I focused on the crest he had on his jacket, the letter P embroidered on it.

Dominick probably told him to stay here so he could have more leverage against Jamie and Lux. That was the only thing that I could think of.

"Who do you go by?" I asked, taking in his size. I was ready to pounce on him if I knew he would be a threat. I would have to kill him if I knew that he could potentially jeopardize my status as a Greater Demon.

"My name is Jergen, sir. I work under Dom and I'm obligated to watch this succubus from leaving the premises," he stated, acting as if he was top s**t.

I sighed deeply, putting on my best bullshit face. "Dom has told me to relieve you of your duties for the night. You may leave."

"Sir?"

"You do know that I am Storm, right? Disrespect me and I will notify Petrove," I snapped, feigning anger.

"My apologies," Jergen left in a hurry, probably afraid of what I was capable of. 

Tessa sat on the couch, staring me down. "What do you want from me?" She questioned.

"I just want answers. I'm not here to pester you. In fact, I want to help you. But... as long as you help me," I started, taking a seat across from her and leaning forward, "As you know Dominick has been resurrected and has taken Luxinia as his claimed. It seems he has also taken Jamie. Now, how did this all happen? I thought that Jamie had both of you as his claimed? He cannot simply lose you unless there was s*x energy involved. I would like for you to tell me what happened."

Tessa watched me closely, slightly suspicious but also interested in what I had to say. "Fine. I'll tell you if you guarantee that you will try to save Jamie and Lux."

"I'm completely okay with that," Determination set into my bones. "I will get them both."

"Dominick came and took Luxina at her workplace I believe. That was the last time I saw her. Two days later, Jamie went to go look for her. He didn't return home. I tried calling him and texting him, but he didn't respond. Then that's when Dom came. He barged into here with Jamie knocked out cold. And... seduced me," Tessa's voice grew thick and she paused, "He forced Jamie to give us up. Luxina was no longer in Jamie's possession and neither was I. Jamie, he fought so hard... but Dom's influence, his s*x magic was too powerful. Dom almost killed Jamie. He was about to if I didn't submit. I had no choice and I don't think Lux did too."

"Why is he letting you stay here?" I asked, enthralled in this conversation. If I could find some way to get Jamie then I could potentially get back Lux as well.

"He doesn't want me with Lux or Jamie. It may be a big house, but it's already hard keeping Jamie and Lux apart. I heard they found each other and tried to fight Dom off, but Lux got injured real bad. He keeps Jamie busy with tedious jobs while he leaves Lux somewhere else. I heard him that once something is done he'll bring me in. I don't know what he was talking about, but I'm sure it had to do with Lux and that worries me. Dom is taking out all his anger on her, if this lasts any longer I think he'll kill her," Tessa said, tears flowing down her cheeks.

I nodded, leaning back against the couch and closing my eyes. I needed to think of a plan to them out. So far, grabbing Tessa right now seemed good, but the tactful part of me knew that wasn't the smartest move. I needed to bide my time and wait for the perfect moment.

"Can I ask you something, Storm?"

"Call me Jesse. And sure," I replied, waiting for her question.

"What do you truly want from Lux? Do you wish to claim her or you want something more than that?" Tessa inquired.

"My task right now is to make sure she's safe and return her here along with Jamie," I stated, getting up from the couch and leaving her apartment.

There was no need for Tessa to know my true intentions.
