Love
Chapter 8
Kate had awakened the next day to find Castle next to her with her cuddled up close to him. She realized that she could learn to get used to this. It was nice, so nice. She also noticed that he was already awake. "I need to go." He didn't really want to but one of his women was calling for him and he thought she was ready for his master.
"I had fun." She'd amazed herself. Being with him out on a date and watching all of his reactions had been interesting. She found that she liked surprising him, liked seeing him laugh and scream in fear.
"Can we go on another one? Date, I mean." She still had plenty of questions. She just needed to think of another date location that would get him to open up.
"Summon me when you're ready," Rick answered and then vanished right before her eyes.
She blinked, trying to make sure she'd seen what she thought she had. One second he was there and the next he was just plain gone. "How does he do that?" Nothing she could think of made any sense.
.x{O}x.=.o[X]o.=.x{O}x.=.o[X]o.=.x{O}x.=.o[X]o.=.x{O}x.
Kate had gone into work early and used her computer to do a search. She needed to find someone that was an expert to hopefully answer her questions. She frowned; the man she found was out of the country for two more weeks. She huffed an annoyed breath but made an appointment for when he was back. She'd even used her status as a detective to help her get it.
Dr. David Gallagher was in his 60s and Kate was happy that he was in the New York area. She just needed to wait for him to return.

Rick stepped into view and she literally jumped at him and landed in his arms. She was crying, her tears running down her face. "I love you. I love you!" she told him over and over.
He decided that she was ready for his master. "You love my cock?"
"Yes!" She loved all of him especially his cock.
Rick asked another question. "You love it when I fuck you?"
"Yes, yes." She truly loved it when he made love to her. He was her everything. He was perfect and she never wanted to lose him.
He asked his final question. "You belong to me?"
"Yes." She clung to him to prove it. She was all his. All he had to do was keep making love to her.
"Good, come with me." Rick grabbed hold of her tightly and Jumped to his master's home.
She instantly found the place oppressively hot. So much so that she could barely breathe. Plus the entire area looked terrible. It was a lot of red. Even the sky looked burnt. "Where are we? How did we get here?" She clung to him even tighter, trusting him with her life.
"This is the home of my master. This is the 56th layer of the Abyss. Your new home," Rick informed her as he walked her inside past all of the guards.
HER WHAT?
Rick bowed deeply. "Master, I have a young one for you this time." It was his first for a woman this young. He was taking a risk that his master would be interested in one so young.
"Who is he?" She held onto Rick even tighter. He was ugly in the extreme in her view. Tall, as black as a piece of ebony, and ugly.
Actually Graz'zt wasn't sure what to make of this one that Castle had brought him. Still her skin was young and supple. Maybe he would enjoy her for a night. "I accept. I will take her." She would make a good diversion to his troubles tonight.
"I relinquish control of her to you, my master." Rick extracted himself from her arms and took a step back. "Her name is Sara, my master."
"You are my new sex slave, young one. I am going to show you what it means to be fucked." He was starting to think that anyone this young would have a really tight pussy. Just what his cock needed.
"YOUR WHAT!" She turned to look at her lover. She suddenly realized that she felt differently about him. "You don't love me." She loved him with all of her soul. How could he not love her back? She was hurt, so very hurt. Tears formed in her eyes. "You used me." She would kill him. Except that Graz'zt took hold of her and using one of his claws, ripped the dress she was wearing off of her leaving her standing there in her bra and panties and shoes.
Sara Manning shrieked in fear. He wasn't going to make love to her, he was going to rape her. "NO, please." She would do anything he wanted just so he didn't rape her.
Graz'zt smiled slyly. The sound of her pleading for her life pleased him greatly. "You will receive your pay shortly, Castle." Graz'zt used another claw to rip her panties off and shoved her to the floor.
"Thank you, my master." Rick turned and left to the sound of her screaming as his master's cock split her insides. He cared little for her. He hadn't even really enjoyed fucking her all that much. She lacked any skill at all. Plus what did she mean that she loved him?
Rick took his payment and waited a moment before Jumping to the asteroid field and making his way to his ship. Once there he stowed his gold and placed his ring on the pedestal so that his ship would continue to be repaired.
Unfortunately Rick didn't get to stay long. He heard his name being called again. It was another young woman. He feared that it was too soon for his master. Still he was betting that young woman would only last once. He picked up his ring and putting it back on, Jumped to her.
It felt like déjà vu. She jumped at him the moment she saw him. This one was already naked and waiting for him. "I love you, I love you." She needed to be made love to and feel loved. Her life was just not going the way she had hoped. At least not until he came into her life. And all she had to do to be made love to was to call for him.
Once again Rick wasn't interested in fucking her. There was really only one woman that he really wanted to have sex with. However, she hadn't called for him lately. But he was willing to wait; she would call for him eventually. She didn't have a choice.
Rick began to question her. "You love my cock?"
Her head was buried into his chest and she was clinging to him tightly. "Yes!" She loved all of him but especially his cock and what he could do with it. It made her feel like a grown woman.
He asked the second question. "You want me to fuck you?"
"YES!" She desperately needed to be made love to. To know that she was loved.
Rick needed her answer to the last question. "You belong to me?"
"Yes!" Anything so long as he loved her and made love to her.
"You're coming with me." Rick took a tight hold of her and Jumped.
She instantly found the heat to be oppressive in the extreme. It felt like her throat was burning with each breath. That and this place was dreadful looking. It was terrible. "Where are we? How did we get here?" They'd been in her bedroom just a moment ago. He was going to make love to her.
"This is the home of my master. This is the 56th layer of the Abyss. Your new home." Rick marched her inside the building past all of the guards.
"Where? …MY WHAT?" What was he talking about? This was not her home. She most definitely didn't live here and didn't want to be here.
Rick stepped into his master's throne room and saw the servants had just finished cleaning the blood off the floor that he was betting belonged to Sara Manning. He bowed deeply. "My Master." Graz'zt smiled, stood, and approached the two of them. "Another young one, my master. Her pussy is truly tight and small. If you enjoyed Sara you will enjoy this one." Rick was hoping that he had.
She looked at her lover. He'd just mentioned her best friend. What did she have to do with any of this? He was her lover, not Sara's. Even the thought of it made her angry.
"I accept her, Castle. I will enjoy her." He had a new need that he hadn't really thought about. Really young women that he could fuck once and move on to the next one.
"I release her to you, my master." Rick let go of her and stepped back. "Her name is Chloe."
Chloe instantly felt her connection to her lover leave her. She felt hollow, empty. She also felt used. Her anger flared brightly. "I'll kill you," she snarled at Rick. If she only had a weapon she would kill him now.
"This one has fire. I approve. You will receive your pay, Castle." Graz'zt turned his attention to the girl. "You are now my sex slave." Graz'zt was ready and felt his cock straining at his clothes.
"YOUR WHAT?" There was no way she was letting this, this, THING, take her. "Over my dead body!"
She suddenly found herself being forced to the floor and felt his cock shove its way inside her. The pain was excruciating. She screamed in agony. It felt nothing like when her mysterious lover made love to her.
Rick left so he didn't have to watch. Like Sara before her, she wasn't going to last long. Not that he cared. Still he needed to start listening to more woman calling out for a lover. He was running low of women that might serve his master's needs.
Once he made it back to his ship he placed the ring back on the pedestal and went down to his quarters. Once there he fell onto the bed and worried about what he was going to do when Kate was ready for his master. He was so conflicted over her that it was actually starting to hurt. A hurt that he was totally unfamiliar with.
.x{O}x.=.o[X]o.=.x{O}x.=.o[X]o.=.x{O}x.=.o[X]o.=.x{O}x.
"Hello, Dr. Gallagher." Kate extended her hand to shake his. "Thank you for seeing me."
"What can I do for one of New York's finest?" He couldn't think of a reason that a New York City detective would want to talk to him; he waved for her to have a seat.
She sat in the chair he'd offered her and took a breath to settle her nerves. "Tell me what you know about demons."
"Demons. One of my favorite topics. Please tell me that you're not here to tell me the city's being overrun by them." It was a joke and the fact that the doctor was smiling told Kate he was kidding.
Kate chuckled just a bit and smiled at him. "No, Doctor, nothing like that."
"Demons come in any number of forms. Orcus and Demogorgon are the most well known. They're rulers of their respective realms. The demons live in the Abyss but it in itself is not Hell. That's yet a different realm. Though both realms are filled with completely evil beings.
"The Abyss is made up of 666 layers. Each layer has its own ruler save for the strongest of them that might rule up to two layers.
"I think I have some pictures around here somewhere." The doctor got up to retrieve a book. He stopped on Kate's side of his desk this time and opened it with her standing to join him.
"Here, this is Demogorgon. He has two heads and the body of a werewolf on steroids, if that helps. He has great power and he rules with a ruthless iron hand." The doctor went back to flipping pages. "This is another ruler of one of the layers. Her name is Lolth."
Kate made a face; just the sight of her was disgusting.
"As you can see she has the body of a spider with the upper torso of a woman. It's said that she's a Dark Elf. Meaning she used to be an Elf that was corrupted. She also has great power and it's debated that she may actually have the power to control two layers of the Abyss.
"No ruler of a layer ever leaves their layer. Should another ruler ever learn of it, he would immediately invade in an attempt to increase his or her power. The Abyss is a very dangerous place." The doctor continued flipping pages.
"I recently read a book where demons were summoned to Earth and proceeded to make life miserable for everyone," Kate commented, hoping that might help her.
"Fiction, though based in what is believed to be some fact. All demons need to be summoned for them to reach our realm, which is referred to as The Prime Material Plane." He turned several pages as he searched.
"Ah, this is what I was looking for. On this page you can see the relationship between all of the realms. This is us." His finger landed on the Prime Material Plane. "The Ethereal Plane connects us to the Elemental Planes of Earth, Wind, Fire, and Water. We are also connected to the Astral Plane. Once in this plane you gain access to all of the other planes.
"These are the upper and lower Planes. Think good and evil. The upper Planes are good and the lower Planes are evil. The Abyss is one of the lower Planes. All 666 layers of it. Hell only has 9 layers while all of the other Planes only have the one layer," the doctor explained.
"Demons can't come here of their own free will?" Kate queried.
"No, each one must be summoned. However, once a demon is summoned, that demon can attempt to summon an additional demon to assist it. Summoning a demon is incredibly dangerous. The stronger ones can only be summoned by using a special diagram that you draw on the floor. If you make so much as one tiny mistake the demon will find it and escape. The stronger it is the more demons it can summon to assist it.
"The demon that's summoned can remain here for as long as it pleases, or until it's killed. Even if it's killed it doesn't really die, though. It's only forced to go back to its own Plane where it must remain before it can be summoned again. …If you're brave enough, or reckless enough, to do that." The doctor stopped and waited for her questions.
"You need this diagram to summon one?" She hadn't even attempted to draw anything to summon Castle.
"Oh no, just the more powerful ones. Others can be summoned simply by asking for them. The predominant one is a Succubus." The doctor returned to his book. "This is a Succubus. She can be summoned to serve whoever summons her. Typically she's used to seduce a male to get whatever from him. No matter if she succeeds or not, she usually devours him."
Kate looked her over. She was scantily clad, had large breasts, and long legs. There were tiny horns on her forehead and she had red hair. But it was her massive red wings that got her attention.
"Not every Succubus looks like this one. Like us humans, each looks different and has a different personality. Be warned: each and every one is totally evil. The male may enjoy her for a moment, but he loses his life once she is done with him."
Kate kept looking at her. "Are there male ones?" Did she have a lead? Was Castle truly a demon like he had said without meaning to say it?
"Oh yes. An Incubus." He flipped pages again until he found the precise page.
She looked at an image that looked nothing like Castle. Like the Succubus, he was partially clothed, had red hair, as well as equally large red wings. He had wraps around his lower arms and he was even wearing shoes or boots.
"Do they all look like this?" Kate asked hesitantly.
"Oh no, just like the Succubus or us humans, each one is different. Though unlike us humans, each of them is either incredibly beautiful or handsome. It is said no human can resist them," the doctor explained.
"I mean, they all have these large wings." It was a dead giveaway. There was no way Castle could hide those.
"And the tail, yes," the doctor asserted, staring at Kate. His eyes widened. "You've seen one, haven't you," he asked, thinking he now knew why she was interested.
"He didn't look anything like that." Kate cursed internally. Why had she let that slip?
"You need to be careful, Detective. An Incubus has great power and not just physical power. He has abilities, what we would call magic," he warned.
She rolled her eyes. "Magic? You expect me to believe that?" She knew magic didn't exist.
"A non-believer, I see." The doctor had met countless numbers of people who thought as she did. "We humans used to believe and use magic long, long ago. All those witch trials and burnings weren't just for the fun of it.
"A lot of what we think today has some basis on fact. Even today there are witches that know how to use real magic. Granted they are far and few between and they keep it alive by teaching it to their children."
"Magic. Like what?" Kate was willing to listen even if she didn't believe in it. After all it was what she came here for.
"Well, one would be his or her ability to get you to do something. Think of it as being hypnotized. They can make you do things. Cluck like a chicken. Peck at the floor to eat chicken feed. It is a Command and can be very difficult to resist."
Kate thought it over. "Stroke my cock." She barely whispered it loud enough to hear herself.
"What?" The doctor had missed it.
"NOTHING!" Kate quickly replied. "Anything else?" She wasn't sure what other questions to ask him.
"Just one or two. Each is totally evil. If you ever encounter one, it is because they have a reason. There's something they want and once they get it, your life is forfeit.
"Another is their ability to hide what they actually look like. They can make you and anyone who sees them to see something else. Something far more believable. Something that will be pleasant to the eye. It's basically camouflage. They need to be able to fit in and not be found out before they get what they want.
"You should be very careful, Detective. Demons are very dangerous and pure evil, even to each other. It's why each ruler of a layer is only too willing to attack another layer to gain more power. They care nothing about life except their own." He couldn't think of anything else to say.
.x{O}x.=.o[X]o.=.x{O}x.=.o[X]o.=.x{O}x.=.o[X]o.=.x{O}x.
Stunned, Kate walked to her car in a haze. And remained that way right up until she realized she couldn't find her car. "Damn it!" She'd gone the wrong direction.
"I'm so screwed." She wasn't sure she believed what the doctor had told her. Demons, magic…neither of those things actually existed. It just wasn't possible. What she needed was more information and the only way to get that was to date Castle. He had given her a lead, if the word demon had in fact been a lead.
It also had her wondering if he had said the word thinking it would get her off the trail. "Maybe he lied and is playing me." Had she just fallen for it? Either way, another date might get her what she needed.
Besides, sex with him was truly amazing. She wasn't dreaming that part up. But was his cock really as large as she thought it was? Nothing that large could possibly fit in her mouth, down her throat or inside her without splitting her wide open.
"Chameleon." Maybe that had more truth to it than being a demon. After all Castle hadn't done anything mean or evil to her. If anything he was incredibly nice and loving.
"Who or what are you, Castle?" Kate finally found her car and headed back home. She had work tomorrow and was actually hoping for a murder to take her mind off of all this for a while. "And how are you doing this?" He'd vanished right in front of her.
