{Victoria}

I heard that voice again. I've been hearing it for a long time. It started after I turned five and it was the voice of someone singing. Actually it was more like whistling and it was just one note being whistled at a time.

I paused and couldn't help but wonder about that voice so I followed it. As I followed the whistling it got louder and louder until I stopped when I saw a box. A silver box with two crosses on it.

"Pandora… Pandora…" I heard something inside the box growl. "Open me… I'm here waiting for you! OPEN ME!"

That was when I woke up.

I was sleeping peacefully when I felt Victoria twitching in her sleep. I sat up when I heard Cody whimpering and saw him pawing at Victoria.

"Victoria! Wake up!" I said, shaking her.

She slowly opened her eyes and blinked. "Did I open it?"

I gave her a confused look. "Open what?"

She shook her head. "It's just a stupid dream."

I wasn't convinced and just when I was about to say something I heard Satan say, "Your box is calling out to you again isn't it?"

I almost fell out of the bed in surprise when Victoria caught me before I fell.

"What the hell are you doing here Dad?" Victoria growled.

He rolled his eyes and didn't pay any attention to Victoria's protest when he snapped his fingers and a chair appeared out of nowhere. When he sat down he sighed, "I've seen this happen plenty of times. A demon gets their powers taken away and sealed into some sort of object. It can be anything. I've seen demons' powers sealed away into a doll! I never thought I'd see the day that this would happen to my own daughter."

Victoria tilted her head. "Huh?"

Satan nodded. "I visited you when you were younger and that's how I was able to find you."

"If you found me then-" Victoria started.

Satan shook his head. "I couldn't bring you back. And what made matters worse, is the humans who had kidnapped you were playing the part of your adopted parents and you had siblings. Remember the story of Hercules? Well, the Disney version of it?"

I chuckled at that comment.

"Yeah I know about that. Hercules became a mortal and couldn't go home until he became a hero," Victoria said.

"Actually, he couldn't go home until he reunited with his powers, all of his powers," Satan said. "Just like how it happened to some demons, it happened to a god." He chuckled. "Silly humans really think they can one up us. They're just delaying what will eventually happen. The demon or god will be reunited with their powers and they'll be even stronger than before."

"Is the dream going to stop when I'm reunited with my powers?" Victoria asked.

"It's plausible," Satan said. "If all of your powers are locked away in that box and not only some of it, the dream should stop. But we won't know until you get your box back. But for now, just focus on learning how to be a leader. It is important that you at least know the basics of being a leader considering you're my daughter and all."

Victoria sighed, "This sucks! So what do I do now? And why are you in my room while I'm sleeping?"

"Right now just focus on your training. You'll figure the rest out later," Satan answered. "No, I'm not answering your other question."

"Why not?" I asked.

"Because that question doesn't really need an answer," Satan said.

"Okay that type of answer just sounds creepy," Victoria said.

"No kidding," I said.

Satan looked at me. "Walter, can I talk to you outside? There's something I've been meaning to tell you."

I nodded. "Sure, let me get dressed."

After I got dressed I met Satan outside.

"So what did you want to talk to me about?" I asked.

"Well, did Alastor talk to you about what happens when a demon goes into heat?" He asked.

I nodded. "Yeah he did. And it wasn't a pleasant conversation either. Both males and females get it and it just so happens that females have it worse. Which is why it's often a good thing for a female to have more than one partner."

"That and there's another issue that I'm pretty sure Victoria will be made aware of soon," He said.

"And that is?" I said.

"There's a couple of enemy mafia's wanting to test their limits on how far they push the new leader of the Royals around and if Victoria goes into heat while she's fighting, that might not be a good thing," Satan answered.

"It might not be a good thing?" I repeated.

"I mean think of it this way, heat is painful for females until they have sex. If she's in the middle of fighting and she's in pain…" Satan said.

I understood exactly the point he was trying to make. "I get it, but we don't know when the enemy's going to try and attack."

"Which is exactly why I'm going to advise Victoria to strike before they do. I already know the names of the mafia's in question so I'll be briefing her about this soon," Satan said.

I was going to say something when I heard Victoria scream bloody murder. We rushed back into that room and Victoria was on the bed curled up into a ball crying. Cody was whimpering and looking back and forth between Victoria and I.

This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.

Satan sniffed the air and his eyes went wide. "Shit!"

I paused. "Let me guess, she's in heat right?"

He nodded. "And with that I shall take my leave and don't forget to call Louis and Ben. I know you two have been fooling around with them. Remember, the more partners the merrier and I don't do incest so I'm out."

I chuckled. "Funny, the all powerful and immoral King of Hell will fuck anyone but his own children. How noble of you."

"Yeah I have my limits just like Victoria does. Besides even if I did do it she clearly stated that she isn't into that sort of thing. Either way I'm gone. I'll brief her on what's going on with the enemy mafia's when she's feeling better and that will depend on how much sex she'll have. So I'm guessing about four days at minimum, five days max," Satan said. Without another word he snapped his fingers and disappeared.

As soon as Walter left to talk to Satan about something I felt this strange burning sensation in my skin. I howled in pain and when I did Walter came running back into the room.

"Victoria, look at me," He said.

I did as I was told and saw Walter looking at me with a mix of concern and panic. "You're going into heat."

My eyes went wide and I groaned. "Yeah, Mom told me about that. I hate this."

He smirked. "Figured you'd say that because apparently it's worse for females than it is for males. I'm not looking forward to going into heat either. But since I have plenty of partners to help me out hopefully it won't be so bad. Don't worry I've already called Louis and Ben."

I was getting ready to say okay but then I paused. "Ben's coming?"

Walter nodded. "Yeah, look I know it's weird because he's Delilah's 'husband' but you already slept with him. He's your servant and he's more than willing to help you with anything that you need. And from what I've been told, the more partners you have the easier it will be to get through your heat."

"Great. At least I'll only have to deal with this twice a year. Hey, I'll take that over dealing with a painful menstrual cycle once a month," I said.

“No kidding,” Walter said.

He reached over and kissed me and just as he reached for my shirt the doorbell rang.

I blinked. “Well that was fast!”

”Wait right here, I’ll go get them,” Walter said.

I nodded and shortly after he left the room he returned with Louis and Ben in tow.

Ben smiled. “It’s an honor to be able to help the Princess out with her first heat.”

I gave him a sideways look. “Ben. No nicknames.”

He paused. “Huh? Oh, sorry Victoria.”

”Hmmm,” I said. “I don’t think you’re sorry enough.”

”Oh really?” Ben said.

I got out of the bed and walked up to him. “Yeah because you’re still dressed.”

I kissed him and when stopped I looked at Walter and Louis and said, “You two should get undressed too.”

”Don’t have to tell me twice,” Louis said. Then he started to strip while I started taking Ben’s clothes off.

I grinned when I saw that Walter, Louis and Ben were already hard. I started to take my clothes when Louis stopped me. He shook his head. “Nope. We’re taking care of you today and that means you won’t have to lift a finger.”

He grabbed me and took off my clothes and tossed me on the bed. He got on top of me after Walter got behind me. After we had sex I still wanted more.

“Looks like you’re ready to go again,” Louis said.

Walter nodded. “Yup and this is going to be fun.”

{Ben}

I can’t believe that I get to help Victoria out with her heat. It’s an honor to me and I don’t care if it’s considered cheating on Delilah. To humans cheating is a lot different than when it comes down to demons.

The only time it’s considered cheating is if you sleep with someone that’s not your servant or they aren’t within the arrangement of who you’re sleeping with.

When it comes down to cheating with humans it’s considered cheating if you sleep with someone who isn’t your partner. So what I’m doing with Victoria now is considered cheating on Delilah. But I really don’t care. What’s important to me right now is helping Victoria out.

Although I do have to be a little bit discreet about my reasons for going to visit Victoria during this time so that Delilah doesn't get suspicious.

When I got home after spending the day with Victoria, Walter and Louis, I made sure to take a shower and toss my dirty clothes in the wash.

"Ben! Where are you?" I heard Delilah call out as I was getting dressed. I put on a shirt and jeans because I was settling down for the day.

"I'm in here!" I answered.

She entered the room smiling and hugged me. "I'm so glad you're home! You've been working a lot lately."

"Yeah well there's been a lot of work to do lately," I said. That wasn't a total lie but a half truth at least.

"Oh? What type of work? Maybe I can help?" Delilah asked.

I shook my head. "No thanks, I'm good." I paused when I felt myself getting hard. "Actually there is something you can help me with."

She smirked as she looked down at the bulge in my pants. "And what might that be?"

I grabbed her hand and had her feel my bulge. "What do you think?"

I started kissing her and she moaned. "Ben…"

She started grinding her crotch on me and said, "Please undress me and fuck me!"

"Your wish is my command," I said.

I took her clothes off and put her on the bed while kissing her. She went for my pants zipper and unzipped my pants, freeing my hard dick. I got undressed and held her down while I was on top of her.

She looked up at me. "I missed you. I missed this. You're the one person I don't want to cheat on. At least for now."

I didn't say anything because I didn't need to say anything. I knew of her habit of cheating on her partners after two years of being with them. I just started thrusting into her to get her to stop talking and the only thing I heard was her moaning my name which was much better than having her talk.

I knew I was still in the middle of my heat but I didn't care. I wanted something to do when my partners weren't available. So I went down to the private gym. I started on the punching bag and about a minute in I started to feel winded so I had to stop.

"Well, I guess working out because I'm bored wasn't a good idea after all," I growled to myself.

I sat down trying to catch my breath when I heard Walter say, "Do you really think working out is a good idea when you're still in heat? Are you nuts?"

"Apparently I am nuts," I snapped. "I was just bored."

He scoffed, "I leave you alone for a couple of hours and you decide to do something stupid. You can't really do anything when you're in heat. What you were planning on doing if you got into so much pain because you haven't gotten a release from sex? Let me guess, you didn't think that far didn't you?"

I opened my mouth to respond but then shut it because he hit the nail on the head.

He sighed and the next thing I know is he picked me up in his arms and carried me as if I weighed nothing.

"Let me down!" I protested.

"Nope. I'm going to make sure you don't have to lift a finger," He said.

"So what do I do when you're busy working?" I asked.

"You could read a book, watch Tv, maybe even work on your artwork again? It's been a while since you've painted hasn't it?" Walter replied.

I nodded. "Yeah it has been a while. I wonder if I start painting now what would I come up with? Doesn't being in heat affect your emotions?"

Walter nodded. "It does but from what I know of, everyone's different about how they deal with it."

"I see," I said.

"Now, enough talking and let's get down to business," Walter said with a mischievous smile.

That smile sent a nice little chill down my spine. "I like it when you smile at me like that."

"I know you do," Walter said.

He didn't say anything else because I knew he wasn't kidding about me not having to lift a finger much during my heat. I love him for that and so much more.
