Nyssa's POV
"Damn this is a nice place" I stated eying the mansion ahead. Stolas and I were currently in the Gluttony Ring.
"You should know that Livania is actually demon royalty"
Stolas now had my full attention.
"Are you serious? I would have never suspected she was"
"My Beautiful Moon is a private demon and prefers not to use her royal connections unless absolutely necessary"
That's understandable my inner beasts agreed with the Goetia.
"So what's her family's name?"
The two of us headed towards the front door of the mansion. Inside a party was going on and had I not been helping Stolas in finding Liv I wouldn't mind being here.
"Her family are the Eclipses, good demons and highly respected, Livania's twin brother and the heir is here a lot, his name is Marcus" Stolas explained as we finally entered the mansion. Some of the partygoers noticed us and exchanged hellos before a hellhound went to find the host.
"Oh my god!"
A demon that had the form of a fox and some bee features appeared a few seconds later. I did my best not to stare because this demoness was gorgeous. I also felt she was powerful so she had to be demon royalty like Stolas.
"Welcome to my home Princess Nyssa!" the demoness exclaimed before giving me an enthusiastic hug. She quickly released me and blushed. "Sorry about that I'm just glad to finally meet you and Stolas good to see you again"
"Thank you but I'm afraid we're not here to socialize"
Seeing things were serious the fox and bee demoness took us away from the crowd.
"Now what can I do to help you both?"
"We're looking for Marcus Eclipse, his sister Livania kidnapped" I answered.
"My girl got snatched?! Oh hell naw, I'll go find Marcus"
She then flew off using her wings.
"Who was that?"
"That is the Queen of Gluttony, Beelzebub, she's also Marcus's fiancée"
"I like her she's nice"
Bee then came back with a wolf demon with jet-black hair which was tied back. He had Livania's eyes and the same two indigo facial stripes on each cheek along with the pointed ears
"I'll let you guys talk do your best to find Liv," Bee said before kissing her man on the cheek and going back to entertaining her guests.
Stolas quickly introduced me to Marcus before we got down to business. Marcus took us to a quiet room and then he sat down in a meditation pose.
"Since Livania and I are twins we both can determine where the other is" Marcus explained. "That f**ker better not have hurt my sister"
From his tone, it was obvious Marcus cared for his sibling. Stolas and I watched as the wolf demon closed his eyes. The two of us kept quiet so Marcus could focus on finding out where Liv was being kept. Eventually, Marcus opened his eyes and looked at us.
"Liv is in the Wrath Ring, but she's asleep so I couldn't find her exact location, I'm sorry Stolas"
"No you've done well Marcus thank you"
"You can thank me by finding my sister and bringing her back safely"
Livania's twin then looked at me and smirked.
"From what I heard you can kick ass"
I returned the smirk and summoned my scythe.
"Only when necessary"
Liv's POV
I don't know how long I slept but it felt like forever. Crimson's head was on my shoulder and he wasn't wearing his hat. As I watched him sleep memories of our time together came to life in my mind and I closed my eyes so I could revisit them.
Seventeen Years Earlier.
Lust Ring/Ozzie's
Liv's POV
"Hey Liv what happened to your date?" Asmodeus wondered seeing I was alone.
"I think I got stood up" I answered the Prince of Lust.
Due to the fact the man I loved was getting married to that nasty bitch in a few days I decided to get trashed. I had asked a mutual friend to go out with me but as mentioned it looked like I was being stood up.
"I'll go ahead and go"
"Girl sit down and have some more drinks, you look like you need them"
I gave the Prince of Lust a smirk and he shot me a wink before leaving to attend to other guests. I already felt the buzz of the first drink taking hold and I signaled my waitress for another.
"Well I'll be damned"
An imp dressed in Mafia attire stood before me.
"Your Princess Livania aren't you?"
"I am" I confirmed.
"I thought so" the imp purred before he took my hand and kissed it. This made me blush. "You look like you could use some company"
"Feel free to join me, my date stood me up"
"A damn shame"
The imp then sat down across from me.
"Name's Crimson and I must say you are very beautiful in person"
Shit his smirk was hot. I listened to his heartbeat and found he was telling the truth as well as flirting. My waitress returned with my drink and Crimson ordered one for himself as well.
"So princess why the sad face? It doesn't suit you"
Yep, he was definitely flirting.
I explained about the situation with Stolas and that mention of the Goetia Prince, Crimson only growled in disapproval.
"If he truly loved you he would have fought to keep you"
"I was going to tell him how I felt but the wedding was already set"
I downed the rest of my wine and was about to order another when Crimson stopped me.
"You need to eat trust me Liv you don't want to have a hangover right now"
My heart skipped a beat when he called me Liv. I heeded his advice and ordered some dinner and Crimson did the same. Hours passed and I found myself very much enjoying this imp's company. He even paid for the drinks and food.
Then being the gentlemen he was the Mafia imp climbed out of his chair and offered me his hand. I placed mine into it and once again he pressed his lips against my flesh. My date escorted me back home and for reasons why I couldn't find explain, I invited Crimson inside.
"You're an artist?"
"Somewhat" I replied after we entered my apartment. The Mafia imp was eying some art pieces that were works in progress.
"Somewhat? You got talent, sure it may start off not as planned but that can change over time"
"Wait so you actually like my current work?"
"Most definitely"
Damn it that smirk again!
I took a seat on my couch and a minute later Crimson joined me. I made the next move and I traced a pattern using my index claw against Crimson's face and horns.
"That feels good" he purred. "I like your claws"
He was blushing a bit and that pleased me.
"If you want I can let you feel the rest of them"
I didn't recognize my voice due to its tone change. But I didn't care and right now I wanted to forget about Stolas.
"As tempting as your offer is Liv, let's not rush things"
His smirk returned and he suddenly climbed into my lap.
"It looks like you want to speed things up" I countered.
"I won't do much" he promised. "And you'll enjoy this"
I shivered as his tongue licked a vulnerable spot on my neck. Crimson smirked before placing gentle kisses on my flesh before he carefully bit me. I moaned and did my best not to grab this suave imp and take him to my bed.
My dominant side came out and soon I was kissing Crimson like no tomorrow. But he too had a dominant side and I groaned as our tongues danced. By the time it was over I was hot and bothered.
"You enjoyed that"
"Yeah I did"
Crimson chuckled again before giving my hands individual kisses.
"I think we have something here princess, how about we see where it goes"
"You got yourself a deal though I will warn you imp, as a wolf I can be dominant"
"I'm not afraid of that side of you Liv, in fact, it's sexy"
Theres's more to come with Liv and Crimson's backstory. Also the link that Marcus and Livania share is based from the link Nuada and Nuala share from Hellboy. On another note Tex and Loona are a couple in this fic, I ship them as I do BeexTex. And I love Bee she's so damn sweet.
