Burn in Hell: Episode 1 (Fortune Academy Underworld) Page 2
He liked it.
I fucked him slow at first, taking my time as I explored the sensation of dominating the Dark Mage. When I sensed the demon in my head, watching through my eyes, feeling what I felt, I knew that if he ever got his hands on Lily, she’d never be the same.
This thing was twisted. It liked what it saw and it wanted more. Maybe he wouldn’t kill Lily right away, but he’d make her suffer. He’d fuck her like this, violent and dominating.
I couldn’t allow that.
The dark mist around us increased, dancing up to my nose and threatening to invade my body.
Remember how Lily had betrayed you? What do you think she’ll do when she finds out about this?
Lily wouldn’t care, but the demon wanted me to second-guess myself. He wanted me to remember what she’d done to me, that she’d almost killed me the first time I’d tried to bring her to the Academy, and then I’d stupidly fallen in love with her anyway.
You should hate her for it.
No, that was the demon’s influence talking. Lily made me stronger, made me better. I couldn’t lose myself to my rage, to the bitterness he awakened in me.
“Enjoying the show?” I asked as I grabbed the Dark Mage and fucked him harder. I needed him to join me in pushing the demon out. This was how we’d keep our minds our own.
The Dark Mage was dealing with his own internal battles, evidenced as his eyes glowed with internal Hellfire. “Fuck me harder, Hunter. Make it hurt.”
He didn’t have to ask me twice.
My magical affliction made me scary strong and even when I’d been with Lily, I’d held back.
Not this time.
I shoved the Dark Mage to the ground and released all my anger and violence onto him. He clawed his fingers against the floor as I took him hard, building to a climax until I roared and released enough power to send a shockwave against the dark fog that attempted to climb over us and invade our minds.
Red energy wafted over the Dark Mage and he spun on me when I was done, shoving me against the wall and taking my cock in his hand. He’d learned my unfortunate affliction that I remained hard even after orgasm and he punished me as he stroked me and himself, running his hand back and forth to stimulate us both. “You’re going to do that again,” he ordered as his power grew.
The Dark Mage could use pain, and just as I’d unleashed my raw violence on him, he returned it ten-fold onto me, stroking relentlessly and making me throw my head back as he brought me to a second climax that I wasn’t ready for. The sensations overwhelmed me and I twisted to get away from it.
“Do not move,” he ordered as he wrapped dark energy around me like invisible chains, keeping me pinned as he roughly stroked us both, going back and forth faster and faster until I came again and he released his climax with me, his dark eyes blowing wide as a powerful shockwave shot out from both of us, banishing the demon’s presence for good.
We both collapsed, bruised, throbbing, and sticky, but in control of our own minds. The demon had been pushed back into his cage.
For now… at least.
I roared as all of the rage inside of me refused to find an outlet.
Fucking Hunter.
Damn Dark Mage.
My wings scratched against my confines and I slashed out, my claws meeting solid stone as I roared. My head throbbed as the majority of my rage bounced back at me, making me growl as I lashed against the Hellfire chains that kept me pinned.
“Lose again?” asked the Dean, safe on the other side of my prison.
I growled. “All I need is time. Luckily, I have all the time in the world.” I couldn’t starve. I couldn’t die. The only way I could leave this realm is by being banished back to Hell and now that I’d come out to play, I wasn’t leaving until I got what I’d come for.
Payback.
“Tell me who it is that you seek,” the Dean ordered as she opened the eye-slit to the door, sending faint light from her flashlight through that disappeared into the darkness of the fog. “I could ease your suffering. There are cages upon cages of victims you could torment.”
I sniffed. “You mean those pathetic excuses for supernaturals that can’t even overcome my mist?” They didn’t have enough anger in their hearts to be exploited, so one whiff of my dark energy and they fell into a coma. Not exactly the riveting time I was hoping for.
She shrugged. “If you told me who you were after, perhaps I could help.”
“So you could kill them? No thanks.”
She smirked. “Oh, you know me well, demon.”
Yes, I knew this immortal all too well. She’d sold her soul to my brother, Lucifer, in exchange for immortality and power. The catch, though, had been her lover’s life.
Oh, he had so much delicious rage to work with. I still had him in Hell trapped where I fed on his hatred for her and for her husband, King Arthur. Of course, the King was long dead by now and since I hadn’t seen him in Hell, was probably living it up in the clouds, but Lancelot didn’t have to know that. As far as he was concerned, she was the reason he’d died and burned in Hell.
I wondered if she’d actually be successful in finding a Vessel to contain him. Whoever the poor soul was would probably burn up in two seconds flat, but that was just something she’d have to figure out on her own. If she wanted to take him, fine. I had bigger issues to deal with.
Like being a Virtue to a Champion of Calamity.
Nobody owned me, and it boiled my blood that some female thought she could control me.
“We’re done here,” I growled, turning and flicking my tail over the eye-slit. I jabbed, hoping to take the Dean’s eye while I was at it, but she was impressively fast for her age. She chuckled as she closed the peephole and sealed it over with magic, merging it with the door so that no one else could see me.
“Keep your secrets, Cole. I’ll find out who it is you’re so hungry for, and when I find him, or her, I’ll be sure to let you know.” A click sounded from the other side of the door. “Oh, and since I’m assuming you haven’t found an outlet yet, I’ll take some off of your hands.”
I grunted as the wall erupted with needles, shooting into me and draining me of my Hellfire.
I took the punishment, vowing a slow, agonizing death for the Dean. My brother and I had given her immortality—and we could take it away.
When she was done, the needles retracted and I fell to one knee, panting with renewed rage that needed an outlet before I consumed myself from the inside.
I resumed my efforts to reach out to the girl and her males, fellow Virtues who were all connected to me. While it irritated me, it also gave me a chance to exploit any unresolved feelings of anger or hatred.
These guys had it in spades—the girl, too.
With the Dark Mage and Hunter walled off from me for now, I ran through my choices. The wolf was impossible to reach, something to do with his species. I worked better with human-like supernaturals and shifters were sometimes closer to beasts than they cared to admit. Beasts got a free pass and all of them went to Heaven when they died. Lucky bastards.
The demigod also was off-limits. While he had anger, he wore his emotions on his sleeve. There weren’t any pockets for me to dig into.
There was the mentor, of course, a fellow demon who’d fooled himself into thinking he’d become mortal. I used him easily, but I decided not to kill him. Instead I used him to amplify my connection until I found the girl.
There.
She tossed and turned in her bed, affected by the influx of Hellfire in the mate-bond connection that I’d tapped into.
I grinned and scratched my claws against the stone, sending a high-pitch screech to echo in my prison. “Go back to sleep, my angel. You and I have some rage to release.”
Her mates didn’t want to play with me? That was fine.
She drifted off into unconsciousness, falling victim to the dark fog as I slipped into her room and infiltrated her dreams.
It was time to show her what it was like to burn
in Hell.

Author’s Note
Thank you for reading this exciting episode of Fortune Academy Underworld! As this series grows bigger, I wanted to share inside scenes from the guys’ point of view, but I didn’t want to add them into the main series since Lily is the only point of view we typically see. As a solution, I’ve created episodes for you to enjoy as we journey through Fortune Academy Underworld!
In each episode I reveal secrets you won’t find anywhere else, as well as steamy scenes you won’t want to miss. New episodes are announced in the Facebook Group and Newsletter, or you can be sure to check back on the website for updates!
I’ll see you on the other side in Fortune Academy Underworld.
