A Bet with Slutty Evil Being!

As he turned around, he saw a face laying down on his couch, arms crossed over the armrest, and head lying on top. It was the girl from the store.

Neither Alex nor the girl made any conspicuous movements or sounds for the next minute.

Alex's mind exploded with thoughts.

'How the hell did she get in here? I'm her fiancee? She can't be a Succubus too, can she? This better not be one of those things Asmodea was talking about handling before she left.'

The girl, whose name seemed to be Nyssa, still holding her toothy grin, oblivious to the fact that she had broken the law to force her way inside, somehow.

It was she who finally broke the silence, "Why so quiet husband? Surely you know who your wife is..."

Alex didn't quite know what to say, but he managed to stammer, "I'm certain I am not married, and I am certain you are not my wife. You're not a Succubus are you?" Wow, subtle.

"That hurts my feelings you know." Nyssa whimpered, seeming genuinely hurt, "I suppose no one must have told you of your arrangement with me. And no, I am not some Succubus. I am nothing like those tramps. It's annoying enough to share part of my lineage with an Incubus. Not that that is how I feel about you though!" Assured Nyssa.

"Right, if you're not a Succubus, then what kind of demon are you? And yes, please, please, please explain to me how we're engaged... Asmodea failed to mention this important bit of information."

"Asmodea, your so-called favorite... You will have to replace her with me soon. Let me begin with my lineage. I am what is known by general terms as a sort of half-breed. Though I hate that term itself, I prefer the best of the two worlds. My father is an Incubus, though he is dead now, and my mother is known as the Princess of Pride, a Ruler of Sin like you."

"I don't know the story, but my father must have been some sort of concubine to mother. Before the previous Lord of Lust died eighteen years ago, he arranged a marriage between the mother's unborn daughter, me, and you. Hence, we are both husband and wife, well not yet, but soon. So please don't mind me if I call you husband or anything like that... Husband." Nyssa explained.

"Uh-huh... I see, well, I'm not getting married to a demon I barely know."

"Why not? We both obviously love each other."

'Jeez, there's no getting through that thick skull,' Alex thought.

"I'm sorry, but I don't love you. I don't know how this stuff works for demons, but it takes much longer than a couple of minutes and an arranged marriage for us to fall in love."

"So you're saying I simply have to spend time with you for us to be in love? Interesting. I accept, as of this moment, we will be spending our days together."

"Ok, fine with tha-... What?"

"I will now be staying with you here in order to maximize our time together for us to fall in love as quickly as possible. No matter the number of days it takes. I must not let that Succubus have you all to herself."

Alex wasn't sure if he could take another girl to live in his house, let alone them being demons.

He wondered what vendetta did she have against Asmodea, and decided to ask her Nyssa about that.

"Right, so you'll be staying here too. May I ask what sort of grudge you have against Asmodea?"

"It's not that I have any grudge against her, it's that she is not your lawful wife, that position is mine. I should be the one you should spend the most time with. And if you must, you may use her as a concubine."

"Alright let's get something straight, in my house. And this is mine, not ours, everyone is equal, humans, Succubi, Incubi, demons, Rulers of Sin, you, Asmodea, angels, and even the Devil and God themselves. No one is better than the other. Got that?" Alex hoped the message got through to her. The last thing he wanted was a demonic squabble turning violent in his home."

"Of course my love, whatever you wish. I will enforce your rules as you command them. A loving wife should always do this."

It seemed easy to get Nyssa to do what Alex wanted, as long as if he pushed the married couple bit on her. There was one other question Alex wanted to be answered.

"Asmodea told me that the angels held a strict no demon policy on Earth, save for me and Asmodea, why did they let you in?"

"Those stuck up creatures? I mean, equal beings. Oh... They don't know I'm here. It's not like they can keep track of every house in the world."

'No sense of responsibility,' thought Alex, I can't really do anything about her anyways until Asmodea returns. Might as well make dinner since it's around that time.

"Right, well I'm going to make dinner, want anything in particular?"

"I can't allow you to cook dinner for the both of us, in order for me to become the perfect wife, I will be the cook of this household. Don't worry, I know a couple of recipes, I'm confident I can make something for the both of us."

"I guess so, as long as if you know what you're doing, I'm fine with you cooking. That lets me play a game in the meantime."

"Now let me ask, do you want anything in particular? I'll take any request from you!"

Alex pondered the question for a moment before replying with fervor, "Can you make spaghetti? It's been a long time since I had that."

"Spaghetti... Of course, I know how to make that my love! I wouldn't be a decent wife if I couldn't prepare such a simple meal. I may need to consult a cookbook though."

"Third shelf from in the far left, in the library. Help yourself." Alex felt somewhat comfortable with Nyssa in his house, as he did with Asmodea. Like he could feel no harmful intentions from them, only warmth.

While Nyssa browsed Alex's library and soon, cooked their meal, Alex began to play his favorite game: The Elder Parchments - Highrim. Twenty minutes later, as Alex turned in a quest in Blackrun, Nyssa called out.

"Time for your dinner!"
