Make Me
Chapter ELEVEN

Walking through the gates of hell was an experience I will never forget, no matter how many times I must pass through it again. My nervousness disappeared now I raised my foot, and as I stepped through the portal that Jude had opened, it was the point of no return, and I could feel it in my bones. I was the demon's all along, I made a deal, and he owned me, but here, I could feel it. The belonging, the attachment, that link between us, was so much stronger, and I wondered if Jude could feel it too. If he did, he didn't show at all.

Maybe I was just being sentimental... Maybe the thing that filled my body, was the realization, that there is no turning back after that. I've come too far, even if Jude would let me break our deal, there is no way I could stop anymore. "You are the calmest human I have ever seen in hell" The demon smiled a little as he walked beside me, up the impossibly long stairs of Lucifer's castle - or what I presumed was his castle. Golden and black, majestic and intimidating at the same time.

"I have nothing to fear with my very own pet demon, do I?" let's just say my smirk was not well received by the demon, but he let it go quickly as we reached the entrance. A hideous creature lurked in the corner, but judging by the expression he wore, he couldn't even speak of in the presence of others, let alone stop anyone from getting into the mansion.

"My Lord..." He bowed deeply, opening the doors for us, not addressing me in the slightest, but it did not surprise me. After all, humans were all slaves down here. A little unsettled, I glanced at the monster before we passed him. "What was that?"

"An unworthy human" he replied easily. It was hard for me to believe that thing was once a human being, but the thought of someday becoming that, kind of unnerved me. Jude probably noticed my discomfort and gave me a gentle pat on the head.

"I'd never waste such a snack like you, don't worry"

Well, that wasn't even remotely reassuring.

As we arrived in the main hall, a girl appeared in little to no clothing. She had huge breasts and horns, these were the first things that caught my eye, except for her slutty maid uniform. Am I in bad porn? What's happening.

Jude obviously didn't judge the situation as unnatural as I did, but neither did he have any reaction to the woman... It occurred to me before that Jude was gay, but now it seemed more obvious... At first, I thought humans are just not his type, but this woman seemed like she just stepped out of someone's most treasured fantasies, yet Jude looked at her as if he was talking to a rock.

"Mindy... We came to visit Lucifer" Jude broke the silence, and the girl nodded a few in a hurry before flickering her snake-like eyes to me.

"Did you bring him a new toy?" she eyed me up hungrily, raising my discomfort, and I stepped back reminding her unintentionally of a thing called personal space. My blood boiled, that she had the nerve to address me as a toy, but before I would've said something I'd regret, Jude spoke.

"The boy is mine, Mindy, I'd appreciate if you'd watch your mouth around him" came the stern warning and I fought the urge to nod along like a child when being defended. The demon backed off quickly and flashed an apologetic smile, leading us up to our alleged room.

"Lucifer will see you down in the diner in an hour" she informed us opening a huge black door with golden details.

I will possibly never be able to afford such a place, even the doorknob seemed to be more than my college funds and I was just amazed by the majestic riches that Lucifer called a guestroom. Of course, there was an undertone here, this place was prepared for Jude, thus all the beautiful things and the luxurious bed and balcony. I was, to them, less than a pet. Something Jude brought along.

That's why I didn't understand this meeting. Humans seemed to be worthless down here, so why would Satan himself invite me here before I'm even dead?

"You look so gloomy and serious ever since we've arrived..." I felt arms around my torso, and I glanced to my side coolly. I had my guard up more than usual, but it wasn't because of hell... it was because of the drawings... or well. Those as well. I was uncertain of who Jude was. Until now I was perfectly sure I was in control, understanding that I had to play nice with a monster, but now the lines blurred from business to feelings... Was I being manipulated... or was I just not seeing something in Jude that was clearly there?

"We are in hell after all. What am I to cheer about?" I shrugged, peeling his hands off me before I stepped away "Don't pretend like we are closer than we actually are. I did not make a huge fuss about what you did to me but don't take it as acceptance. You took advantage of my drunkard behaviour." he tilted his head to the side, struggling to remember what I was talking about for a few seconds.

"Someone is more defensive than usually..." He deducted with a cunning smile, as he walked around me. I hated feeling like prey around him, but the roles couldn't possibly be reversed... or well, they were, but only once. The memory of him kneeling before me forced a smile onto my lips.

"I'm just angry... The art teacher now has a semi-pornographic drawing of me, and it's your fault." I quickly dodged a bullet and changed the subject. His smile grew, as he eyed me up.

"Did it bring back memories?"

"You have talent Jude, you should not waste on drawing smut" I hissed, making my way to the bed and I set down, resting my legs a little.

"Was that a whole compliment?" he fake-gaped at me while following my movements with his eyes.

"Just facts..."

"You know, I could help you feel better if you'd just let me..." he neared me. Such beautiful eyes, warning me not to trust any of his words. He stood right in front of me, so close that if I were to stand up, I would've bumped into his chest. "Stop acting like a lonely puppy and leave me alone."

So that's what he did to my utter surprise. I tried to take a nap before we had to meet with Lucifer, but by the time I could've fallen asleep, we already had to go.

I fixed my attire minimally, to honour Satan a tiny bit, and we met up with Mindy before our door, so she could lead us to the diner. I found her presence most of all unnerving. She was attractive, sure, but I felt like she would eat me alive the first chance she gets, and this wasn't one of my dreams, to say the least.

The whole of the palace was beautiful, and my only remaining joy in the situation. As we stepped into the huge hall that was apparently Lucifer's diner, my eyes first met an enormous and long table, and at the very end of it, and beautiful golden-haired man. I was a little flustered even looking at him, considering who he was, but I never imagined his angel-like features would've stuck on him.

He gave me a wide grin as our eyes met and he gestured for us to sit.

"So, you are Seth, aren't you?" he concluded, his voice smooth and booming, a deep melody. I swallowed and sat down, Jude right beside me.

"Yes... I suppose you are Lucifer" A spark of interest lit in those menacing eyes, and his grin widened. Indeed, a very attractive man... His locks hit his shoulders easily, his jawline was sharp and distinct, his features manly but also somehow soft. "For you, he is "My Lord" at best" a sharp female voice corrected me and only by then did I acknowledge the elegant, gorgeous woman that sat near Lucifer.

"Vixen, don't be mean to our guest. You'll scare him" the Lord scolded his companion, as the woman still glared at me then Jude.

"I'm rarely scared of angry ladies, don't worry about it."

I felt a little bit of silence settling on us when suddenly Lucifer chuckled a little and glanced at Jude in disbelief.

"He is always like this, I'm sorry about that Vixen" Jude apologized in a way that suggested he was not even remotely sorry and that widened my smirk. I don't know why I was so sure; no one is going to kill me for this. I felt like I had to assert dominance between these monsters, so they would know not to toy around with me, and so far, Lucifer had my back surprisingly.

"Remarkable boy, Jude... It's hard to imagine you two get along... knowing your taste in humans" the devil gave us an all-knowing smile, searching first Jude's then my face as if he knew we didn't get along, and just wanted to indirectly ask about it.

"And tell me, Seth" he broke the silence when we didn't reply. "How is Jude? I personally never had the chance to try him on top..." I choked on that little bit of wine that I was able to force down my throat about a second ago and spat it back in the golden cup. All three of them chuckled, as I tried to collect myself.

"I... I'm not in that sort of relationship with Jude" I was still not over the fact that Jude could be a bottom... What? That's... that's not the part that should bother me. But also... Jude is gay then... that's not surprising, now that I think about it. "Oh, are you not?"

"Lucifer, did you not know? Seth is not gay. Straight as can be..." Jude cut in ever so sarcastically and I kicked him under the table.

"You are very funny." I growled at the demon before he could've continued with ridiculing me "It's not really about that. I just don't think it would be wise to sleep with a demon." I explained, trying not to offend any of them, so I quickly added: "To keep a clear head" I couldn't believe this is what Lucifer wanted to discuss with me. I started to feel like, there was something else here, that they didn't tell me about.

"Well, you should've been wiser when you've made the deal, young man" Vixen retorted suddenly, playing with one of her long locks, as her eyes settled on my face "It's inevitable. Demons primarily use humans here to toy with them sexually and otherwise. Would be easier to get used to Jude, as long as you still have your own will..." her face didn't tell much, her words slipped from her tongue as if this was the most natural thing. My throat tightened at her tone, but I contained my anger.

"I'm afraid I could never get used to him using me... or anyone at that. When the time comes, he will realize, he can't break me... And probably turn me into one of those hideous monsters you keep at your gates, my lord" I addressed Lucifer with a tight smile, then my eyes flickered back to the unpleasant but impressed Vixen.

"Jude, won't you say something?" Lucifer questioned, and now all three of us glanced towards my demon who was silently having his dinner.

"I'm in no need of proving myself right with words or threats..."

"Very elegant, but it's quite hard for me to believe that he is actually your match. He can't stand you." Vixen pointed out with a grin, and I furrowed my brows listening to her. What match? Jude never mentioned anything like that. He put down his golden fork and licked his lips, probably to clean them... yeah, I guess napkins are not something they like in hell.

"I was not lying. Lucifer can read him later if that would satisfy you"

"No, he can't... What the hell does "reading" even mean?" I tried to cut the arrangement off before they just talk it through as if I weren't here. "He'll look into your soul," Vixen said easily "read a few memories and feelings, so he can feel if you have a bond with Jude or not"

"I'm sorry Seth, but you have no saying in the matter. It won't hurt one bit..." the fallen angel reassured me, as he finished his meal now completely. I realized I didn't get even a piece of it down, but it was okay, my appetite left me early on in this conversation. I fell silent as they continued their chit chat, my heart racing faster than ever before. I felt powerless, and I knew that it's partially because I pushed away the only person who could win any rights for me down here. I couldn't believe I'd do this, but in the light of the current situation, I had to use everything. I gently moved my leg to the side, brushing my feet against Jude's ankle, lifting the end of his trousers a little bit with the tip of my new designer shoes. I got his attention immediately, I could tell as he smiled to himself, he only glanced to me when Lucifer turned to Vixen.

"I don't want this reading thing... please don't let them" I whispered in his ear, barely hitting the minimum volume for him to hear me, yet my tone was velvety and undeniably seductive. I could see his jaw clench a little, but the smile didn't disappear. Though his gaze was now on Lucifer again, I could tell he was paying attention to me, and me only. I'm not going to lie, I kind of liked it.

A cunning smile appeared on my lips as I felt his hand slip onto my thighs under the table, his fingers brushing the inner side of my leg ever so gently, somehow creating the urge to open them more.

He leaned down, close to my ears and I held my breath as his lips separated in an ever so anticipated answer.

"You little tease... Too bad I have no saying in this." I could hear his pleased grin, as mine disappeared... I did all for nothing after all. He didn't lift his hand from my leg though, instead, he tightened his grip, making me shift a little in my seat out of the small pain.

"Please Jude..." I repeated quietly, opening my legs a little more, not intentionally though. My gaze set on Lucifer, so I would know when he turns our way, but so far, he seemed invested in flirting with Vixen for the past couple of minutes.

"That's just not gonna cut it this time, darling." I gritted my teeth in frustration with his resistance. I don't know why I hated the thought of something I didn't even understand, but I didn't want Satan of all people to dig around in my soul. I was afraid of what he'd replace, and what I'd replace. I took a deep breath, trying to relax my jaw. I cannot believe myself... never again will I do this. I'm just using Jude. It doesn't mean anything. No one can know... that.

"Please... Master" the addressing slipped from my tongue with an unnatural taste, but it didn't sound forced, to my surprise as well. Those sharp features now looked even more wicked and beautiful than before, as his full lips curled into a small, victorious smile.

"Lucifer" Jude spoke up, gaining the attention of our host" Would it be a problem if we would do the reading tomorrow? Seth is a little nervous about it, I'd like to explain things to him before it all goes down." his voice was gentle but serious, elegant but strict enough for the others to know, it was less of a request than a formal statement. His fingers played on my tights, holding me possessively as if any moment someone could've snatched me from him. Lucifer first glanced at me then at him. He inspected my expression for a long while as if he found something new and interesting.

"How generous of you, Jude. But I don't mind, comfort him as much as you'd like... The walls are soundproof" he gave us a knowing grin, while my face went a bit red from shame and embarrassment. Not because of the topic, or the suggestion but because I felt like everyone knew what I did. That I gave up a little bit of my pride to be saved, and even though they probably weren't aware, it still felt like they were.

We all said our goodnight, before leaving, and Mindy led us back to our room, without much of a word. As we arrived in the luxurious bedroom, I wanted to somehow get away from Jude and his predatory gaze that sat upon me, with a more intense hunger than before. I wasn't looking at him, but I could feel what he did... the bond was so much stronger here, it was hard to breathe.

"What are you hiding from Lucifer, that you would go to such lengths to protect it?" the question wrapped around me, sucking the last bits of oxygen out of my lungs. I bit down on my lip hard.

"Things happened... that I don't want filthy demons like you and him to know... I don't want him to see anything of me." I admitted, slowly turning towards him. He was much closer than I first thought he would be. Mere inches separated us, and the height differences became evident as he towered over me with an all-consuming aura around him and a strange but contained hunger lingering in his eyes.

"Filthy... Interesting choice of words from someone who'd sell himself to protect his secrets."

"I'm protecting my sanity, Jude. I know what you all do... use weaknesses against humans." I stated, keeping my chin up as If I didn't lose this dominance game already at the table.

His hands wrapped around me, despite my efforts, and they locked around my waist like chains.

"Can you feel this... thing in your chest? The thing that makes it so hard for you to keep away from me... that one that begs to be closer..." he purred into my ears, while my body aimed to demonstrate his words by weakening in his arms. I didn't want to reply, he knew I felt our bond, I always did especially now.

"Lucifer wants you, or well, me, to prove that you feel that... He doesn't believe that you feel it since you can act so distant with me... it's a rare thing, that not many humans are capable of when bonded." he continued as his voice lulled me into a state of foggy desire. I just wanted to stay still and listen to those beautiful melodies that left his tongue.

"Is this the "match" thing, he talked about?" I mumbled still drunk from his very presence, as he pushed me back, till my back hit the wall a little loudly, yet I couldn't be bothered to take my eyes off him. Those perfect dark locks, framing his sharp features and distinct jawline. But the thing I found so undeniable attractive in him, wasn't his beauty, it was his eyes, and that ever so wicked, yet seductive smile, suggesting he will for sure ruin my life.

He ran his fingers through my body, up to my neck and gently grabbed my throat, as he looked down into my eyes, leaning into a kiss that I at first protested but embarrassingly soon invited by opening my mouth for him. As he left me gasping for air, he continued mere inches away from my face.

"Demons have matches... usually they match with another demon but in our case, it's you and me... Matches can't avoid or resist each other, no matter the cost... They either destroy each other or complete each other perfectly. There is no in- between, and no way to escape it." as he finished, my gaze fell upon his lips, missing it more than I thought I would. I didn't have to even ask, as he grabbed onto my hair and forced my head to arch backwards so could invade my throat easier. I moaned out from the forceful movement, but mostly out of pleasure.

"It's hard being patient with you, my dear... I want to have you to myself... always, and completely... " his words managed to weaken my knees for some reason as I swallowed hard, trying to collect my senses, but it was harder than usual, now that we were practically breathing the same air.

"I can protect your secret... But you must pay the price, Seth" he growled into my ears, taking a small pause before he spoke up in a husky tone once again: "Get on your knees, darling"
