Hell's Consort

Chapter 284 - Beat Him Of His Own Game

*********************************

Archdemon Empress Luna

*********************************

"You have turned my haven into Hell."

He said in a low murmur, "I could fight for you against anyone else, Amare."

Luna flashed him an arctic smile. "But what's the use?"

If Luna were upright, she would have been prowling like a tiger wanting to be released from the cage.

Baring her teeth, she hissed, "I will not fight for you."

As she clutched at the sheets with her fists, Luna's cheeks flushed and pressed her thighs together.

Archdemons knew what words to say to seduce a woman.

Nevertheless, Luna would never fall for it.

"You will learn to love me," The Archdemon told her with conviction. "Love can be learned if you tried hard enough."

Lines marred her forehead at the white lies Ravin had no problem saying.

How many female Archdemons had he fooled with his flowery words?

"Love can't be learned, Ravin, but it can be faked." When Ravin made no move of getting off the bed, Luna showed her disinterest by turning away, scratching at her cuticles. "An Archdemon wouldn't be able to keep that up. As time passed by, they will find someone else, and the mask falls off, leaving the other person cold and miserable."

I wouldn't let my mask fall off." He replied smoothly as he clasped her hand, interlocking their fingers together.

There was something hot and lethal in Ravin's gaze. "I am used to wearing them all my life."

"Then, there was really no point in staying with you." She turned away from him, recoiling from his touch. "I don't want to love you out of obligation."

Luna whispered sadly, "You can't learn how to love someone, Ravin, and that's the truth."

As she pulled the blankets closer to her body for comfort, Luna gave Ravin a cold, glassy stare.

"Leave, Archdemon." Luna murmured, "I don't need you."

Ravin shrugged, unfazed by how fast Luna could switch her temperament, similar to how the weather can change from one moment to the next.

"Welcome to my 'Pleasure Room,' Amare." The danger in the air heightened after his loaded sarcasm.

She stiffened.

Luna's palms were a little damp with fear.

"This place is my property." Ravin's voice was rough as he emphasized the word 'property.'

"Just minutes ago, you were in distress for reasons I can't pinpoint, and I came back to comfort you." Ravin's eyes locked with hers as he tucked the curtains of silver strands behind the shell of her ear.  "We argued, and I let you address your feminine wiles."

"Now, you are ordering me to leave the room?" His scowl, paired with a frown on his mouth, made his aura more commanding.  "You should think twice before you disrespect me in my own Castle."

She had to irritate Ravin so that she could get back to the Vampire Realm.

She smiled to herself, having the perfect role model in mind.

Luna can be a spoiled brat like Catriona and Lilith.

Luna clicked her tongue and shook her head, "If you respect yourself in the first place, Archdemon, I shouldn't even be here. Nobody wants a bad wife to run the Castle."

Naked heat sizzled between them.

"Oh. Now, you are trying to be difficult so that you can get rid of me?" Ravin's voice has a husky drawl to it. "How predictable!"

"You know how I adore a bad wife, Amare. I can do a lot of wicked things to her body as a punishment." His hungry golden eyes had enveloped her, triggering unwanted emotions such as anger and hatred with a hint of a craving she couldn't explain. "Your pain will be my pleasure, and I will train you to like it."

Luna was aware of how close Ravin was, but what happened next?

She didn't see it coming.

He had angled his head and swooped in for a smack.

He didn't part his lips to wriggle his tongue inside, nor did he move his mouth.

When he pulled back, Ravin's expression was unreadable.

Luna's hand lifted to her mouth out of its own accord, rubbing her lower lip.

Ravin's golden eyes twinkled in mischief.

He broke into a boyish grin. "I'll go, Amare."

This time, Luna watched the cords of muscles rippled all over his body, broad over his back and thick in his arms and legs as he stood by the door.

The Archdemon was an experienced fighter.

Ravin had no desire to kill her despite how ugly her manners were.

Yet.

Sometimes, Ravin being an Archdemon Prince, always flew past her mind.

The Archdemon of Gluttony didn't let her have the last word, for Ravin had leisurely got off the bed and close the door shut like he didn't deliver a searing kiss to her mouth.

When she had the 'Pleasure Room' all by herself, Luna shut her eyes tight and massaged her neck, feeling vulnerable.

She was sometimes confused about what she really desired.

Luna realized her mood swings had made her irrational.

Mayhap was the baby in her tummy, making her feel like this.

When Ravin had turned to leave his sex dungeon, Luna had stopped him from going.

It had reminded her of Apollyon's abandonment during their wedding night.

When the Archdemon offered to stay with her, Luna suddenly wanted to be alone.

She couldn't stand what Ravin had said about love equating to obedience.

What nonsense!

She didn't understand how masculine minds work.

Did they want to be desired by women and pleasure them until their egos swell?

Did they need someone to take care of them as wives because they couldn't care for themselves?

If it was, women could rule all realms with this precious knowledge.

How powerful would it be if a man's self-assurance depended on how many times a woman smiled at them in a day or how many ladies and consorts adored them and belonged in their Consortium?

If a man's pride and dignity can be dependent on that level…

If a woman could raise an arrogant man's self-esteem high up to the ceiling, then it would be so easy to tear their confidence down with words and destroy their visions for the future.

Women can be powerful if they want.

It wouldn't be a big deal to put arrogant men in their place.

AUTHOR'S NOTES:

Hello, I would have liked to reply to one of my privileged readers here.

I can't reply to your comment and address the topic because I have accidentally pressed the delete instead of the reply button.

I'm sorry.

She had observed that a part of the recent chapter update had bordered on rape, in her opinion. :)

We all have our opinions, and I respect them.

I made this corner to make things clear, and I welcome any types of comments from my readers.

It is called rape if there is penetration, and in my recent chapters, they aren't.

Weeeeee~

I am not romanticizing rape by any means (PLEASE NO.NEVER!), and Ravin and Luxen were Archdemons.

Their kind was well-known for being incubuses, so basically, you can call them rape-y through seduction even if they were Luna's husbands.

I think this is where the double standards come in.

Ravin and Luxen...

It is their nature as Archdemons.

I'm not even going to sugarcoat it.

In the legends, demons had raped human women to birth, evil half-demon children to create chaos on earth.

If you notice, the two brothers were toxic as hell and sometimes showed they cared about Luna because she was the wife.

She was also the one who sent them back to Hell, lol, so in a way. They were punishing her, keeping her in Hell, as revenge.

The Archdemons mated with the wrong person.

They tried to impress her, but not enough to redeem and hide how indifferent, cold, and toxic they are.

They claim they love her, but their thoughts consist of owning her, possess, and control.

Some males do this in real life too.

They bait their women with their 'act of kindness' so that they would cling to that tiny sliver of hope that these bastards would change for their women because they 'love' them.

That isn't always the case.

They don't even know what love is like, and they go on declaring their love for her without reason, even if they only met once or twice.

Not many interactions to get to know a person.

The Archdemons only know how to hurt and torture and manipulate, and we aren't sure if they would come to know how to love Luna for real.

SOME males, NOT ALL, are like this in real life, so please be careful who you trust.

They want you to cling to that hope, their 'little act of kindness' so that you wouldn't leave them when he starts the abuse, because all you remember was him being kind to you, which is SUPER RARE than all the sacrifices you have made for him.

Many people only have the courage to abuse the one they feel safe and comfortable with within many instances.

These demons can abuse you through passive-aggressiveness, gaslighting with their words, and invalidating your emotions.

Ravin and Luxen were somewhat psychopathic because that is their nature as Archdemons.

The question here is, would they change their nature, or would they remain the same as the story progresses?

And would Luna wait around and stay for these toxic Archdemons too long to find out?

She wants to go back to Apollyon, but the blood bond had tied her to these two brothers.

Will she give in to Ravin if he successfully seduced her?

Ladies, please, please, this is just fiction!

If you encounter someone like Luxen and Ravin in real life, please run!

I have written some significant signs of a psychopath in their character so that you might notice the red flags right away.

This is why I made them like this to help you notice certain traits in real people.

This can go both ways. Some females can be as devious as Lilith and Catriona.

Sorry for my male readers. I don't wish to alienate you.

In the topics of BDSM:

It is important to communicate what you will allow and wouldn't allow with your partners by using safewords.

I admit I lack that in my story, even if I have many BDSM chapters.

Please understand that my characters had not been taught about the rules for this since they had no access to the Internet.

Those safe words.

Consent.

Clear and concise agreement.

For me, BDSM is quite hazy and blurred.

One little thing could set something off, and the person wouldn't know if the other had crossed the line without proper communication.

In addition to that, Luna was gagged. *facepalm*

That was why I placed double POVs in the event, or I guess I will be in trouble.

I don't want to be that author who glorifies rape. :'(

Luna suggested jokingly to be tied up and consent to the body, licking to get rid of the poison.

The flogging was spontaneous.

Luna was gagged, so she can't really say if she approved it, but later, she is alright with it.

But would Ravin actually care if Luna liked being flailed or not?

The foot fetish was...hm.

I am not a foot person, but I have included that in my story because I came across a certain article.

I want to write about it.

If you aren't a foot person, you wouldn't care because yeah, it's just foot, and you wouldn't understand why someone would be turned on by it, but the subject of sexualizing a woman through their foot without permission...I think it will be called harassment.

Imagine holding the feather of Ma'at as you weighed in the scales of justice with the heart of the soul against the feather.

Share your judgment.

Let me know your thoughts on the comment section.

I am curious about your views.

Yay!

Thanks for reading!
