I smirked after Delilah was led away to begin her punishment. True, I declared my undying love for her but I didn't mean it and Victoria knew it. Victoria having Delilah divorce me was just a bluff to play with her a little. When it comes down to Delilah I love toying with that woman. Apparently, it's all a part of Victoria's revenge plot.

I'm all for it. I feel that I'm such a good actor that maybe I should try out to act in Hollywood? But at the moment I pushed those thoughts away so I can focus on making Victoria the best leader ever! She's going to need this when she becomes the Queen of Hell.

Part of me wants to tell her what she's going to become but I can't because I was specifically told not to by Satan himself. From what I know of, Satan told her that she would need leadership experience because she is a part of the Royal Family from Hell. Not to mention he made a deal with her about finding her box. He would help her find her box after she led the Royals for a year.

Victoria sat there staring at me and as she was getting ready to say something her cell phone rang.

"Excuse me for a moment, wait here until I finish my call," Victoria instructed.

I nodded. "Yes ma'am."

I waited patiently for Victoria to come back and she came back about a half hour later. She sat down on the couch in front of me and smiled. "I've talked about this with Walter and I swear your acting is so on point that I even believed you were in love with Delilah!"

I grinned. "Thank you! I want to do my best as your servant. Just let you know I stopped having sex with Delilah just like you requested."

"Damn you're good!" Victoria said. "And since you're my servant who has been the most loyal to me, I think you deserve a reward."

"And what might that be?" I asked.

She beckoned for me to sit down on the couch next to her. The next thing I knew she was straddling me and she took off my suit jacket and started unbuttoning my shirt.

"Relax Ben, this is your reward. You are my servant and it's perfectly fine for me to sleep with you. Walter and I talked about this. Because you're married to Delilah we have to be somewhat discreet about this," Victoria said.

"And what's to stop people from coming in and interrupting us?" I asked.

"This room is soundproof and it's got a spell placed on the door that compels people to not enter unless they're commanded to," Victoria answered.

I was going to say something when Victoria started to kiss me. When she unzipped my pants I moaned as she started to stroke my cock a bit. I closed my eyes and basked in Victoria's touch. If this is what I'm going to get as a reward every time I obey her, I will fucking obey her as much as possible!

"Ben, look at me," Victoria commanded.

I opened my eyes and my jaw dropped because she had taken her shirt off and she was beautiful. I knew she was beautiful with her clothes on but I had no idea that she had such big tits. My mouth watered when I saw them.

I didn't have much time to admire her beauty when she took charge and started kissing me again. When we started having sex I felt like I was on cloud nine. I knew the sex would come to an end soon but I didn't want it to end.

Unfortunately it did come to an end after I climaxed.

"I think you might want to take a shower before you go home to Delilah. Can't have her suspecting that you 'cheated' on her now can we?" Victoria said with a smirk.

I pouted, "Do we have to stop?"

"For now," Victoria said. She looked at the nearby clock and sighed, "Go get ready. Delilah should be done with her punishment soon. One more thing."

"Yes?" I said.

"You can have sex with Delilah again if she requests it. I need you to make her believe that you truly love her and have eyes for her alone," Victoria said.

I grimaced. "Do I have to?"

She shrugged. "It's up to you, but if I were you I'd do it at least once. You can think of someone else while you're fucking her."

I smiled because I already knew exactly what I was going to think about the next time I had sex with Delilah. "Okay, I can do that."

"Good boy," Victoria said. "It's time for you to get going."

{Victoria}

I must admit that having sex with my mother's husband felt kind of weird. But since he is my servant there's really nothing wrong with it. Of course, now that I had Ben declare his undying love for Delilah, I thought it would be best that he go back to being the perfect husband for her. I could tell by the look on his face when he left my office that he didn't like that idea, not one little bit and I don't blame him.

Tonight when I got home I smiled when I saw Walter already asleep snuggling up to Cody on the bed. After I took a shower, I laid down and that was when Walter woke up.

He smiled at me. "So, how did it go?"

I smiled back at him. "Things went rather smoothly. I swear Ben is such a good actor, he almost fooled me into thinking that he really loved Delilah!"

This text was taken from Royal Road. Help the author by reading the original version there.

"Oh? And you did give him his reward? You know the sexy fun time that we talked about?" Walter asked.

I nodded. "I did. And it was kind of weird knowing that I slept with the woman who claimed to be my mother's supposed husband." I yawned, "I'm tired."

Walter nodded. "Yeah you look like it. Thankfully you don't really have any important appointments tomorrow. Maybe you should just take a day off and rest?"

I thought about it. "Hmm, you know that sounds like a great idea! For now, can you hold me at least until I fall asleep?"

He chuckled, "Sure I can do that. Cody move over."

He nudged Cody awake and he reluctantly moved so that I could cuddle with Walter. Shortly after that I fell asleep.

The next time I opened my eyes it was dark. I thought I was in my room and that all I needed to do was turn on a light switch but when I tried to move I was tied down to something. By the way I was tied down I could guess that I was tied to some sort of table.

"Do you think this'll work? Because the exposure therapy seemed to do the trick for triggering her powers last time," I heard Walter say.

"It will. We just need to make her angry enough to bare her claws at us," Alastor said. "She should be awake by now."

I groaned, "Yes I'm awake Alastor. What the fuck is this all about?"

"You need a way to trigger your powers at will. Remember when you went to that exposure therapist?" Alastor asked.

"Yes, I remember why?" I said.

"Well that helped get the ball rolling on triggering your powers. However, there might be times when your powers trigger on their own and that could be bad," Alastor explained. "You could accidentally kill someone before their time. True, you know where they go after they die but you can't be so reckless. There are traps that humans can use against and I will be teaching you how to get out of those traps."

"Is that why I need to get angry?" I asked.

"You don't have to get angry, you just have to figure out a way to trigger your powers," Alastor said.

"We could always make a dummy that looks like Delilah for you to punch like Ben does for the punching bag you use for your training," Walter quipped.

Alastor looked at Walter with a look of disbelief. "Seriously?"

He nodded. "Yep and it's helped her vent frustrations out a little because Delilah needs to live at the moment. It's not time for her to die yet."

I snarled at that comment. "I hate that woman. I'm holding myself back because I really want to kill her!"

"I don't blame you considering how she abused you and tried to kill you," Walter said.

Alastor gave me a wicked smile. "Yeah know, bringing up painful memories of the past with Delilah just might do the trick. You have unresolved issues with her that never get resolved."

"Honestly, it seems like she's starting to see the error of her ways. Sad thing is that she's only seeing it now because her actions have caught up to her. And I think it's too late for the words 'I'm sorry.' Even if she does manage to say those words. She won't because she's allergic to being a better person," I growled.

Alastor snorted. "You can say that again!"

"So how does this work? And why am I tied down?" I asked.

Alastor laughed, "Now that I think about it, you don't need to be tied down."

He snapped his fingers and I was free of the restraints and I sat up and rubbed my wrists. "Did you have to chain me down with silver? That kind of burns my wrists."

"Ah yes, a temporary side effect of silver and it's not really a good weapon against demons. Maybe weaker demons like Jezebel and Gray but for stronger demons like me not so much. You will be a stronger demon when I'm done with you," Alastor said. "True, you're doing good in improving your combat skills…"

I raised an eyebrow and said with sarcasm. "I'm doing just good improving my combat skills? Not great? Not excellent?"

He shrugged. "What more can I say? If you would just pay attention long enough to keep your head in the fight. However, I do find your technique of staying one step ahead of your opponent to be interesting. How do you manage to do that?"

I knew what he was referring to and it had something to do with my abilities that I've been developing lately. I paused for a moment to figure out how to explain things. "Well even though it looks like I'm not paying attention in the fight, I am. It's weird like I see trails of light coming from my opponent that show me exactly what move my opponent is going to put out next. Of course I don't always see it on time and that's when my opponent can get a good hit on me."

"The Laser Pointer ability! Excellent! That's one thing you got from your mom. Which is interesting because most of the time only water demons can get ability," Alastor said as he looked at me with pride.

"Huh?" I said.

"The Laser Pointer Ability, allows someone the ability to predict an opponent's next move by showing beams of light casted by the opponent's movements. And sometimes by their thought pattern. And before you ask there are two different types of demons in Hell, water demons and fire demons. You can tell which one is which by a marking on their foreheads. You might not have noticed your marking because you probably don't pay much attention to your reflection in the mirror. You should probably take a look. Hold on a sec," Alastor explained. He left the room and came back shortly with a small hand held mirror.

He gave the mirror to me and I looked at it. I saw on my forehead the symbol of fire and that is a triangle facing up. I looked closer and I saw another symbol next to the triangle and it was an upside down triangle. "Um, are there demons that have more than one symbol on their forehead?"

His eyes went wide. "What? Let me see."

He looked at my forehead and nodded. "Yeah you have two markings on your forehead. That means you're a hybrid!"

"Awesome!" Walter cheered. Then he paused. "Wait, aren't hybrids common in Hell?"

"Yes they are, however a hybrid in the Royal Family hasn't happened in almost a decade," Alastor answered. "Not even in my clan!"

"Is that a good thing or a bad thing?" I asked.

He shrugged. "That's going to depend on you. You have defense as well as offensive abilities (no pun intended) and how you use your powers can either help or backfire on you. And you'll figure that out as you go along. Today is the day you start figuring things out."

He left the room and came back with a silver bracelet in his hand. "Here, take this."

"Doesn't that hurt your hand?" I said.

"Not really. I'm stronger and I've been alive a lot longer than you have," He answered. "But for you this will help until you can figure out how to summon your powers at will. As I was telling Walter, your powers can be summoned by emotions. For Fire Demons the intense emotion of anger can trigger their powers. That's why I thought that would work for you because at your exposure therapy you had your fire powers come out. But now that I know you're a hybrid that changes things."

Alastor handed me the silver bracelet I put it on and hissed because of the pain from the burn.

He chuckled, "Hurts doesn't it?"

I rolled my eyes and said with sarcasm, "No, it doesn't hurt. It just tickles a little bit."

Walter snorted. "Oh it hurts alright. If she's in pain and can talk she'll make some sort of joke about how it doesn't hurt."

"Hmm, you might want to change your habits unless you think taunting the enemy is a good idea?" Alastor paused. "You know what, scratch that. You're joking about being in pain might just be enough to throw your enemies off. And when they're caught off guard, you knock them down and knock them down hard."

"So what happens now?" I asked.

Alastor smiled a wicked smile. "Your training to control your powers starts now."
