“I think keep these clothes,” Keira said. “You look better like this. Those leather pants, I just want to take them off.”
Alex glanced at Keira’s leather pants. They were clung to her skin like skinny jeans would and showed off the shape of her legs and ass. Keira was toned. She had those glutes women back on earth slaved away at gyms for and never achieved. He wouldn’t have minded taking her pants off too and getting a closer look at them.
“What about the girls in your living quarters?” Keira asked.
“What about them?” Alex asked, confused.
“Want to take them with you? We’re going to be gone for a while. I’m sure you won't struggle to find women to spend the night with you, especially seeing as you don’t mind demon girls, but those two humans are hot.”
It wasn’t something Alex had thought about. Partly because he’d never thought it an option. But now that he was thinking about it, it would be great if they wanted to come along. He could learn more about the humans and their experiences in hell. Knowing they were souls and not actual humans kidnapped from earth, taking them back with him might not be possible. But that didn’t mean he couldn’t help them in some other way.
Alex made for the door to see if the girls would be interested in going with him when a thought entered his head.
“Will they be safe near a war zone?”
“They won’t go to the front line with you. They’ll stay in Artunecki while we go into the mountains to face Skalgrig. They’ll be as safe there as they would be here and probably a lot more comfortable with you around,” Keira said. “They’re part of the service you know. They belong to your living quarters. Once you’re gone, the rooms will be taken by a demon who won’t be as kind as you are. Or as gentle.”
“Holy fuck,” Alex muttered.
Keira nodded. “Go talk to your girls and see if they’d like to go with you.”
Chapter 22
Alex made it back to his living quarters on the second floor. The girls, One and Two, were back in the room opposite his. They stood at the end of the room, their backs against the wall, much like they had the first time he’d set eyes upon them. He was a little disappointed to see they were dressed again. Only a little disappointed. They still wore those two sheets of white satin cloth. One around the chest, covering the breasts, but leaving enough underneath and above to view. And one cloth around the waist that barely covered their modesty.
They smiled when he walked in, and Alex took that as a positive. The day before, they’d stared down at their feet, not showing any emotions.
“I’m going to be heading out today to fight the rebels. We’re going to some town called-” Alex stopped. What the hell was the town called? It didn’t matter. “I was wondering if you wanted to come with me? You’ll stay in the town there and won’t be at the frontline or anything. It’ll be safe-”
“Yes please, sir,” both girls said quickly, their eyes lighting up.
“Oh, cool. Okay. Um, we leave after lunch so I guess be ready?”
“Thank you, sir,” both girls said, smiling widely now.
Alex smiled back. “And please stop calling me sir. My name is Alex.”
“Thank you, Alex,” One said.
At some point, he would talk to the girls about their names. One and Two were not names. They were numbers. As Alex turned to leave, he wondered where Jamana was. It would be good to say goodbye to the demon before he left. She reminded him very much of Melissa. Quiet and shy, but a good demon.
He opened the door to leave and found Jamana standing there.
“You’re leaving already?” she asked.
“Yeah. Gotta head to some town and fight the rebels,” he said. “I wanted to thank you for everything here. For bringing me food and… the other stuff,” he said sheepishly. “It was fun.”
“You’re taking One and Two with you,” Jamana nodded at the girls.
“Yeah. Keira said I could. Apparently it would be better for them if they came with me.”
Jamana nodded. “They’re hot. They’ve got perfect figures. Big breasts, but not too big. Soft skin, little pink nipples and even pinker cunts. They’ll keep you happy,” she said softly, and her eyes faltered before she looked down.
“Jamana,” Alex’s fingers touched her hip. “Is everything okay?”
She nodded quickly and smiled. But it was a fake smile.
“Something is wrong,” Alex said. He took her hand in his and pulled her close. “Tell me!” he said firmly.
So Jamana did tell him. She was a demon, but a poor one. The noble families, the warriors and those with money treated demons like her that were pretty as nothing more than meat to fuck and abuse. Staying in this hotel, she was treated like One and Two. Sometimes even worse. She’d considered leaving on a few occasions, but life was harsh in hell.
Her eyes had bubbled up by the time she finished talking. Alex wiped away the tears before they could roll down her cheek. He then wrapped his arms around her, and kissed her on the top of her head. Alex hadn’t asked Keira if Jamana could come along, but it didn’t matter. She was going to come with him, even if it meant he had to use his sword to convince whoever needed convincing.
Chapter 23
It was later that afternoon. Alex sat in a carriage with One, Two and Jamana. It was another black carriage pulled by two hell horses. Alex had told Keira that Jamana was going to come with them. He expected some resistance from her, or whoever owned the hotel. But Keira just nodded. And then she kissed him on the lips.
The girls wore the same outfit they’d worn the entire time. Two sheets of cloth. Now sitting down on the train, the cloth around their waist had hiked up. Of course they weren’t wearing any panties underneath. Alex caught a glimpse of their pussies glistening out from beneath the white cloth.
Jamana dressed slightly better for a long journey. Only slightly. She wore a short leather skirt and a grey blouse that had a plunging neckline to the point where the tips of her green nipples were just visible. She also had a dagger by her waist.
The carriage rolled out of the demon city of Katarnak, and they were now moving down another track that had been made by cutting away the red rock and flattening it. The scenery outside was dry and either side of the road, the land was flat as far as the eye could see. Occasionally, a tree or two sprouted out of the hard rock.
No, the sight outside wasn’t great. It was much better inside. Alex really wanted to talk to the two humans and learn more about them. But for now, they seemed to have retreated back into the zombie sex slave mode. They sat with their backs arched so their breasts jutted forward. Their eyes were on their laps, which was where their hands rested. He would get through to them eventually, but for now, he decided to settle for Jamana instead as she had no problem talking about herself.
He was the first free human she’d met. One still with a soul. She’d wondered if that was why he was different. More alive than the other humans. Alex doubted that to be the case. Natasha had as much life in her as he did, but he didn’t press the issue with Jamana. He was more interested in learning about her and about hell.
So Jamana told him about hell.
It was a dry and harsh land filled with rocky mountains and lakes of lava. Demons were the dominant species, but there were many other creatures that roamed the vast plains and mountains. Creatures more fearsome than the scariest demons. With the exception of Satan and his sister, Satani, Jamana added.
She came from a poor family that lived on the outskirts of a demon city a few hundred miles from Katarnak. Life was hard growing up. Food was scarce, water even more so. For a demon like her, there weren’t many choices in life. She could either work in the mines, join a group of mercenaries and fight wars for other demons, or sell her body in the whore houses visited by demons. The money she would make by selling her body would be little. The influx of gorgeous females from earth meant demon whore houses were only frequented by the less well of demons. The soldiers, the miners, the thieves.<
br />
Jamana said softly that she was pretty for a demon. And she knew some hotels liked to hire demon girls like her in addition to human slaves they kept. She came to the biggest demon city looking for such work, and she did find it.
She had enough food to eat, but life was still harsh. Most demons that stayed there used the human girls for their pleasure, and often made her participate. The easier times was when she made love to the girls for the watching eyes of the demons, but other times, the demons got rough with her. They used her hard and made her clean up after them. She’d been slapped around, beaten, tied up, had hot wax poured onto her nipples and clit. She’d been taken by multiple demons at the same time.
Jamana’s voice began to waver and Alex could tell it was difficult for her to talk about this. But he didn’t want to stop her, not unless she wanted to stop. It was good to let it out of her system, right? It was a form of therapy, wasn’t it?
Jamana did stop talking eventually. There was silence as she stared down at her lap. Alex felt bad for her. He also understood why the demons in Ignis Estate fled hell for a crappy estate on earth. Because a crappy estate on earth was still close to heaven for a poor demon.
The carriage rolled down the rocky road late into the night. It moved at speeds Alex didn’t think was possible for carriages. Especially ones pulled by two horses. It was like speeding down a motorway. The ride wasn’t as smooth. The further they got from the city of Katarnak, the bumpier the road became. And despite the windows being closed, dust was beginning to creep in through the gaps.
Despite all of that, Alex still managed to lean back and get comfortable. He was close to dozing off when the carriage came to a stop. Stepping out, he realised they hadn’t reached their destination. In front of him was a roadside tavern. With a fifteen-foot wall of red rock surrounding it and the door covered in foot long spikes protruding out, it was a heavily fortified tavern. The demon guards that opened the gate carried black swords that matched with their shiny black armour.
It seemed the tavern was expecting them. Despite the hour of the night, hot food was ready and waiting for them in a private room. Alex, One, Two and Jamana took a table for themselves. Keira sat at another table with two human males. She winked at him when she noticed his glance.
Pikes and Magnamus and the other demons weren’t alone either. There was an entourage of humans about, both male and female. They moved quickly and with coordination as they served food, as they assisted in removing the demons armour and generally making them feel as comfortable as possible.
After eating, Alex was shown to his room. It was big enough for the four of them. Alex fell on the bed, full and exhausted. Unsurprisingly, sitting down all day in a carriage and doing nothing for long periods of time was tiring. It brought back memories of his time as a security guard.
The girls began to take his clothes off until he was completely naked. Then, they took their own clothes off and joined him in bed. Alex slept with an arm over One’s breasts. His other hand rested on Two’s pussy. Jamana slept lower down the bed. Her head was beside his hip. Her hand was wrapped around his cock. She seemed to hold it like it was a comforting teddy bear. As he drifted off, Alex thought it cute.
He woke up to find Jamana doing more than just holding his cock. She was sucking on it. It was a good way to wake up. Two beautiful naked girls beside him, and a cute naked demon girl sucking on his cock.
Alex played with One and Two’s breasts as he came in Jamana’s mouth. She sucked him dry just as Keira walked into the room. Alex’s first thought was the need for privacy. This wasn’t the first time Keira had walked in on him being naked and surrounded by equally naked hotties. He wondered if she did it on purpose.
Keira had come to take him down for breakfast. She waited in the room while he and the girls dressed. Then she followed him down to the same room where they’d had supper the night before. Alex had a large breakfast of eggs, toasts, and strips of crispy fried meat. He washed it down with a beer, which was surprisingly good. He made a mental note to add beer to his breakfast when he got back home.
After breakfast, it was back on the road. They travelled for most of the day. It was just as the sky above suddenly became dark did they stop once more at another roadside tavern. It was similar to the previous one. High walls, lot of demon guards, good food. They had a quick meal, but rather than spending the night there, they were back on the road again.
They travelled for the rest of the night. It was when the sky above suddenly changed to a lighter shade of red did the carriage begin to slow. Alex opened the window and stared out. He spotted their destination almost immediately.
They were close to the mountains now, maybe only a quarter days travel by carriage. Having grown up in London, Alex stared at the mountains with some fascination. Rising high and standing tall and strong, they looked much prettier from a distance.
At the bottom of the mountains was the town of Artunecki. It was a walled town, but standing at only twelve feet, it wasn’t as impressive as those around the city of Katarnak, or even those around the taverns. As they came closer, Alex began to see the stress the wall had suffered. There were large cracks all across the wall, but to the left side, there had been a breach. The gap was small. Only big enough for a single demon to walk through at a time.
In front of the wall were a hundred or so black tents. Demons sat around extinguished fires. Others trained with their swords, spears and axes. Their procession of carriages paused briefly as Keira spoke with a small contingent of demons. It was a short conversation, and soon, they were moving once more. The town gates opened. There were more demon troops inside. A small escort followed the carriages, leading them through the town and to their quarters.
* * *
Alex sat in the inn’s common room the next morning. He’d finished a hearty meal of eggs, meat and bread. He was drinking something that tasted like coffee when Keira came down and joined him.
“Alone?” she asked.
“They’ve eaten already,” Alex told her. “They’ll be safe here, right?”
The other occupants of the inn didn’t seem the friendliest. Even for demons, they were big and pretty mean looking. He’d gotten more than his fair share of stares since he’d sat down. The girls had gotten more. There was hunger and pure animal lust in the demons’ eyes as they stared at the girls. It was no wonder One, Two and Jamana had excused themselves after a quick meal.
“No one would be stupid enough to try anything against you or your property,” Keira said. “They all know who you are. We made sure they do so Skalgrig hears about it too. We’re hoping he will find us later today when we take a trip up to the mountains.”
The fact that Keira had used the word “property” to refer to the girls hadn’t escaped Alex’s notice. But he decided this wasn’t the place or time. There was a huge mother fucker of a demon sitting in the inn’s common room. He was blue, and was at least ten feet tall. There were large black horns on his head, but that wasn’t all. He had horns on his back too. Holes had been cut in his leather jacket to accommodate them. The tips were sharp, as if he filed them regularly.
He’d been giving Alex the cold stare the whole time he’d been here. And more than that, he’d made crude remarks about One and Two as they were leaving. Something about him showing them what a real man was made off, not pansy human shit from above.
“When do we ride out?” Alex asked.
“We can leave now if you’re ready?” Keira asked him.
Alex nodded. “Just got one thing to do. Won’t take long.”
He climbed to his feet and walked towards the blue dinosaur of a demon. He felt every eye in the room on him, including Keira’s. But she didn’t try to stop him. She leaned back in her chair, picked up a fruit resembling an apple and bit into it.
The blue demon stood up as Alex approached. He’d made a slight mistake. The demon wasn’t ten feet tall. He was at least twelve. He hunched slightly as the top of his head touched the ceiling. B
eside him, resting on the table was an axe six feet in length from the knob on the handle to the blade.
“You got a problem, human?” the demon asked.
“You said something about showing my girls what a proper fuck was like?” Alex asked.
The demon chuckled. “Yeah, I’m gonna fuck those two human whores. My cock’s going to rip open their sweet little pink cunts. I’m gonna fuck their-”
Alex pulled out his sword and leapt up. With a single strike, he sliced the demon’s face in half, from the chin up. He stepped back, then waited for the enormous body to hit the ground. It did with a thud, taking down two tables with him.
Alex wiped the blood from his sword onto the demon’s leather coat and glanced around the room. The demons that had been staring at him suddenly busied themselves with anything and everything else. Most stared at their plates or drinks, or the person they shared the table with, some stared at the dead demon on the ground.
Alex walked back to Keira. “Let’s go and find Skalgrig.”
Chapter 24
Horses.
Actually, they were hell horses.
The big beasts that pulled the carriages. Apparently, that was what Alex would be using for transport. The horse in front of him was your standard hell horse. That didn’t take away from the fact that it was a fucking beast of a beast.
It was twice the size of a normal horse. It had two heads, and there were spikes on its tail. Its fur was a deep black, like the looming darkness that resided at either end of the staircase that led up to Satani’s quarters in the Red House of Satan. It had sharp horns on both of its heads. But it was the eyes that did it for Alex.
