Something moved through the student body even deeper than that, however. Sure, news of intra-academy hookups were always juicy, but something in the air said the normal rules no longer applied.
The gap between the Infernal and the Celestial Academies had been growing smaller ever since I was given Dual Enrollment. It had narrowed even further when Raquelle started taking classes in Hell’s college.
Now, with Eiko openly walking around as one of my women, the gap between good and evil felt smaller than ever.
The rest of my harem waited up front, just as I’d expected.
The front gates of the Infernal Academy were wrought iron, covered in demons and gargoyles and overlooking a fountain and parking circle.
A demonic attendant waited bored out of their mind by the valet’s booth, having already brought my sentient car to the front gates.
Actually, I thought as I approached, Godfrey probably took the initiative.
I bet the people who worked here hated that…
Christina saw me first.
“There you are!” the blonde giggled, putting her hands on her hips and thrusting out her hips as I approached. Then she saw Eiko hanging from my arm, and her jaw hit the fucking floor.
“Um.” Mareth looked at the instructor sideways, playing with the hem of her schoolgirl’s skirt. I knew damn well there were no panties on under that fabric, and Mareth was probably fantasizing about sitting in my lap in the driver’s seat. “Did you bring another girl with you to the Fae Realm, Luke?”
Raquelle’s eyes nearly bugged out of her head.
“You mean I’m not the only girl you bound today!?” the angel said, her cheeks going pale.
“Don’t feel bad,” Maddie said, giving the new angel a peck on the cheek. “This one’s been a long time coming. I love your wings, by the way! They’re super cute!”
Maddie’s remark broke the ice.
The girls fell into giggling and gossiping as I strode over to Godfrey, mentally setting out the seating chart the sentient car would need to follow in order to carry us into the Fae Realm.
One thing was clear—though Godfrey was one hell of a hot rod, there was no way my expanded harem would fit inside of him.
“Good evening, Master,” Godfrey said, his voice vaguely British and sounding a bit like a butler. “I understand we’re driving back to the liminal zone. Is that correct?”
“Yep,” I said, glancing back at my harem. “We’ve got a few more passengers than last time.”
“The last time I went to the liminal zone, I exploded!” Godfrey said cheerfully. “But I’m sure this time will be different!”
“I admire your optimism,” I said, chuckling. “Is there anything you can do to accommodate a couple extra girls, by the way? Maybe transform into something with a bit more stretch?”
I’d been thinking of a limousine, or maybe a big SUV. But Godfrey, it seemed, had already given the matter a great deal of thought—and come up with a whole different plan.
“Of course, Master! If we’re traveling deep into the Fae Realm, we’re going to need some superior firepower! All I need is your verbal ‘OK’ in order to begin the transformation!”
Was that all? Huh, well—I suppose I could see what Godfrey had in mind.
“Go for it,” I said, crossing my arms over my chest.
Meanwhile, behind me, the girls were all laughs.
“Luke’s really gathered one hell of an army of babes,” Mareth said, giving Raquelle and Eiko long, sultry looks. “I’m really looking forward to the first time all of us can get into one bed together.”
“It’ll have to be a California King,” Raquelle snickered, mentally trying to picture all of us on one mattress.
“Perhaps a pool,” Eiko purred, giving the red-headed angel a knowing glance. “One with a nice audience who can cheer us on.”
Raquelle’s cheeks flushed as red as her hair.
“How do you know about that!?” she snapped, looking at each member of the harem as if waiting for a confession.
“She’s a Divination professor,” Maddie explained. “Seeing future events is her forte. She probably saw you come all over Luke’s dick before you even realized you were going to ride it.”
That could have gotten awkward, but Eiko stepped in.
“Was a Divination professor,” she explained, running a hand down her midnight-black robes and the silver arcane symbols stitched into it. “I’ve defected from the Celestial Academy. I no longer teach—well, I don’t teach magic, in any case. I’d be glad to teach all of you a few tricks, however.” The smile was back on her face, and the girls looked up for the challenge.
I would’ve liked to have heard their boasts from that point on—but then Godfrey began to transform, and my attention was abruptly elsewhere.
The hot rod shuddered, chrome and metal flipping every which way like a Transformer caught in a black hole. For a few moments, Godfrey didn’t resemble a car at all—he looked like one of those artist’s depictions of an angel from medieval carvings, a horrible swirl of eyes and flames and non-Euclidean angles.
The new Godfrey began to form, and I felt my mouth beginning to salivate.
As the car’s frame stretched, what had become a hot rod became an oversized Humvee.
Thick guns lay across both sides, with something with a stubby barrel beneath the hood that certainly couldn’t be anything good for a Fae invader. Most surprising was the massive gun on top of the roof, capable of being twisted in three hundred and sixty degrees at any time. A long bandolier of bullets led from it over one side of the Humvee, curled up in a dispenser underneath the passenger side door.
“Holy shit,” I said, hands on my hips as I surveyed the new Godfrey. “Yeah, this will definitely be able to handle anything the Fae Realm wants to throw at us.”
My harem girls crowded around the Humvee, oohing and aahing as they peered at its luxurious interior.
“Look at all that leather,” Christina purred, sniffing like she could smell it. “Makes me think of whips and chains. I bet we could get real wild in this ride!”
“More importantly, there’s room for all of us,” Eiko said, looking at the wide seats. “With a couple spaces for girls Luke might add to his harem in the Fae Realm.”
All heads turned to Eiko at that statement.
“Girls… in the Fae Realm?” Mareth asked, looking dumbfounded.
“No way,” Maddie said, pulling a face. “The Fae are monsters. You’re not… You don’t see Luke hooking up with a Fae, do you?”
Again with that Mona Lisa smile!
I could tell Eiko was going to be trouble—she loved driving my harem crazy.
“Perhaps I’ve said too much already,” the instructor said, smoothly sliding into Godfrey’s back seat. “I’ll take the far window seat in the back, if that’s alright with everyone. I assume the real war will be for shotgun…”
Eiko was right about that.
Every one of my harem girls wanted to be sitting next to me as we drove into the Fae. But after a bit of thought, I decided Maddie would get the honors. She was the only harem girl I hadn’t had time to get freaky with today—and I needed her positive energy. No matter what happened to me and my harem, Maddie never failed to be a ray of sunshine. I needed that.
There were two rows of leather seats behind the driver’s and passenger seat. Christina and Mareth took the middle, laying across each other like naughty sluts in a rap video, while Eiko and Raquelle took up places on the opposite side of the backseat. Neither looked as thirsty as the two demon girls, considering both of them had gotten fucked already today.
I knew that either of them would gladly do whatever I wanted, though, and that made me feel fucking great.
“Alright, Godfrey,” I said, buckling my seatbelt and reaching for the goat’s head gearshift between my seat and Maddie’s. “Let’s get our asses to the liminal zone before Lilith thinks we’ve pussied out…”
“Sir,” Godfrey said brightly, interru
pting me. “Lilith is aware of your preparations to leave! But before we travel to the liminal zone, I need to let you know there’s a message waiting for you in my in-vehicle messaging system!”
That caught my girls’ attention.
Eiko and Raquelle leaned forward, while Christina and Mareth shared a worried glance.
“Is it my aunt?” Mareth asked, meaning Lilith. “Maybe she wants to give us some kind of pep talk before we go?”
“Or this is all some kind of misdirection,” I grunted. “And the liminal zone is just a cover for our real objective.” Knowing Lilith, that kind of game was a distinct possibility. “Who’s the message from, Godfrey? Infernal or Celestial?”
The car’s machine voice was suddenly pensive. “It’s, well… I’ll just let you listen to it, Master!”
There was a click, and then I heard a smooth male voice I would have recognized instantly. Every hair in my body stood on end, including the ones on the back of my neck. Behind me, all of my harem girls stiffened.
“Lucifer,” I said, giving the message my full and undivided attention.
“Luke Bell!”
The Prince of Darkness’s voice was pre-recorded, of course, but that didn’t stop him from sounding like he was responding to me personally. Even I didn’t know the full extent of Lucifer’s powers—for all I knew he was speaking to me live somehow.
He continued. “If you’re listening to this message, young man, then you’re about to head into the Fae Realm for the second time. Hopefully, this will be the last.”
“You can say that again,” Christina muttered from the center console.
“Before you leave our Realm, I just want to say how incredibly proud I am of you,” the Devil said. It felt more than a little strange to hear him talking about me this way, and I found myself waiting for the other shoe to drop. “The number of mortals who could come away from a meeting with me with their sanity intact, let alone their ambition, is few—and you have exceeded my expectations in every way! I’ve seen you climb the ranks in the Infernal Academy, claim angels in the Celestial Academy, and now you point your powerful apparatus at the Fae. A most appropriate test for an Archlord of Hell, wouldn’t you think?”
I could almost hear Lucifer wiggling his eyebrows.
“This is a test,” I muttered, loud enough for the harem to hear.
“That’s right,” Lucifer said, chuckling to himself. No doubt about it—he’d anticipated my responses and worked them into this message. “The Fae Realm will be your true test, Luke—a kind of ‘final exam’ for all of existence. Should you win the day and succeed in stopping the Day of Judgement from occurring, you’ll truly have made yourself worthy to take on the mantle of Lord of Hell. I daresay I’d be able to call off the whole competition for Archlord should that happen!”
“How does he know all this?” I asked, looking over at Maddie. “What’s his game?”
Maddie shrugged. It looked cute with her wings.
“He’s the Devil,” she said, as if that explained everything. “Plans within plans within plans…”
“Now, I want to give you a few tips before you enter the Fae Realm,” Lucifer said, sounding more like a proud father-in-law than ever before. “Yes, I know my ex-wife is supposed to be briefing you and your harem, but let’s just say there’s a few topics even her prodigious intelligence is liable to overlook.”
“That’s saying something,” Raquelle giggled from the backseat. “Honestly, if there’s one faculty member you should poach from the Infernal and Celestial Academies to spice up your harem, it’s her…”
Again, the thought of that strange vision flickered through my head.
Mareth did a full one-eighty in her seat, staring daggers at the red-headed angel.
“You know, some of us don’t get along with Lilith at all!” the succubus growled, louder than she’d probably intended. “In fact, some of us have deep seated family issues that mean we want to claw her fucking face off it we were given half a chance!”
Raquelle took all of this coolly and in stride. Now that she was in my harem, the ambitious angel didn’t fear anything.
“I think I know which member of the harem that might be,” she purred, crossing her arms beneath her breasts. “That’s just one of many, though. If this thing gets much bigger, Luke will have to open up multiple wings of his penthouse. You and Lilith might not even have to see each other—just know that every now and then, Luke’s dick is going to taste like the other demon girl’s pussy…”
Okay, the thought of that got me rock fucking hard. So much so that I had to ask Godfrey to pause Lucifer’s message and back it up to where my mind started to drift. The Prince of Darkness didn’t sound irritated at all to be rewound—if anything, he sounded like he’d expected it.
“In order to show the kind of progress you’ll need to fulfill your objective, you must ascend to the apex of three different paths,” Lucifer explained as my harem continued to bicker. Only Maddie and I were paying full attention, though the other girls trickled in as they trailed off. “Two of these paths you’re already familiar with: the Infernal School and the Celestial School. The Angels of Darkness and Light, to put it in another fashion.”
Did I hear laughter in Lucifer’s tone? Where had I heard those phrases before? I struggled to remember.
Angel of Darkness, Angel of Light…
“The third path, of course, is the path of the Fae. You’ll encounter that soon enough in your travels, I’m certain.” Lucifer cleared his throat, as if emphasizing this part. “Up until this point, you’ve done well in selecting the women to remain at your side within your harem. Having representatives from both the Infernal and Celestial sides of the fence is imperative, because those women can amplify your powers and help you reach the apex which I’ve explained to you. I’m sure you’re wondering then: Lucifer, how do I do that within the Fae Realm?”
Okay, now I could definitely hear Lucifer laughing.
“All I can tell you is to keep your eyes open,” the Prince of Darkness said, chuckling to himself. “I’m sure you’ll find the right companion to activate this third path soon enough. Considering what an able cocksman you’ve proved yourself to be thus far, I have no doubt you’ll be able to seduce the proper wench in due order. Best of luck.”
“Wait a second!” Christina’s gaze sharpened from the center console. “Did Satan just say you need a Fae Bae!?”
“Something like that,” I said with a snicker of my own. “Why, does that freak you out?”
A field of shaking heads greeted me in the rearview mirror.
It couldn’t have been clearer that my girls were ride or die: my harem was down for whatever I needed.
Any girl we needed to conquer, any army we needed to slaughter—they were ready for the task. They were a group of powerful, badass bitches, and they belonged to me body and soul. Available at my beck and call.
I’d built a fucking army, I realized. And now it was time to go invade the Fae Realm with it.
“Oh, one last thing,” Lucifer said, bringing his speech to a close. “My ex-wife will be guiding you into the Fae Realm herself, as I mentioned previously. I must warn you of something in the strongest possible terms. Do not trust her!”
At this last part, Mareth snorted loud enough for the whole harem to hear. “We already knew that!”
The whole Humvee began to laugh.
With that, Godfrey’s engines roared to life, speeding us away from the Infernal Academy. A small crowd had gathered to see us off, curious about where Luke Bell and his harem were going. I would have explained to them, but they probably wouldn’t have understood.
We rode out of the Infernal Realm, heading for the liminal zone. Godfrey led the way, roaring down the road as my harem screamed with delight.
Chapter 9
Our second trip to the liminal zone was much more pleasant than the first.
It helped that we weren’t greeted with a cadre of soldiers upon our arrival this time.
>
Instead, Godfrey ascended the hill that had proved his downfall on our last visit, roaring toward the same bridge we’d fought so hard to defend in order to keep the Fae from spilling over into the Infernal Realm. The strange building Lilith used as an outpost loomed to our right, with the woman herself waiting just outside, leaning against the door.
As the Humvee roared to a stop, I heard Mareth groan deeply from the backseat.
“Oh shit,” the succubus said, rolling her eyes. “She came loaded for bear, didn’t she?”
I saw what Mareth meant the moment I laid eyes on her ‘auntie’.
The Headmistress of the Infernal Academy always dressed in a way that made her look like a goddess, but tonight, she’d gone even more all-out than usual.
A tight black corset caressed her curves, showing off an ample expanse of her pale red bust. A matching black skirt hugged her round ass, with a tiny slit for her tail to flick through. Black fishnet stockings caressed her long legs like a second skin, setting the outfit off to end in a pair of high, glossy black fuck-me heels.
Lilith looked like a Satanic streetwalker. And her outfit was so suspiciously close to the naughty schoolgirl outfit Mareth wore that my harem instantly did a double-take at the sight.
As we got out of the Humvee, Lilith strode forward with a seductive smile on her face.
Oh yeah, I thought, she knows exactly what she’s doing.
But what was she doing? Seducing me? Trying to make her ex-husband’s daughter jealous? Feeling her wild oats? All of the above?
“I’m glad to see you all made it,” the Headmistress purred, looking over the women arrayed before her. Her voice caught for an instant at the sight of Eiko among my ladies, but she swiftly recovered. “And you brought a couple new friends along for the ride. Very nice.”
I felt that Eiko’s presence bore explanation.
“It’s important to me to have representatives from both sides of the fence in my harem,” I said, casually reaching down and grabbing a handful of Eiko’s ass. Her nine tails flickered around her waist, a smile spreading across the former instructor’s face as she locked eyes with Lilith. “Eiko has decided to defect from the Celestial Academy in favor of joining my harem. She’s my woman now.”
