Emma gapes. “What did you do to him?”

“Oh, nothing much. Just a little possession.” Joel speaks in the demon’s voice, eyes glinting red. “And renovation.” He pats his crotch. “Oh, don’t worry, he’s fine. It’s not like I’m killing him or anything.”

“This is so not fair,” Emma says. “You’ve taken my boyfriend and my cat! I want one of them back.”

“Hmmm…I was saving him for a late snack, but…all right.” Joel’s mouth stretches unnaturally wide, and with a huge horking sound, a damp ball of fur flies from his mouth to splat on the sofa.

The cat wobbles to its feet and looks dazedly around. “Mew?”

Emma gasps, snatching the cat up. “Mittens! You’re…alive?”

The demon smirks. “He was only in my first stomach. He’d have had to go to my second before digestion could start.”

Emma blinked. “You have multiple stomachs?”

The demon chuckles. “Believe me, I’m a hit at orgies. Now let’s you and me go out and party! We can even visit your tasty friend Hanna along the way if you like.”
