"Welcome to purgatory!" The cheery plain man said as I looked around the plain tan room that seemed to go on for miles. There were other people milling about looking bored and desolate.

"I'm sorry? What? I realize I'm dead but I thought for sure I'd be going to hell." My voice squeaked with nervousness.

"Nope." The man popped the 'p' on nope, "You weren't good and you weren't bad so you'll be waiting in purgatory for fifty years until we move you to heaven."

"What if I don't want to go to heaven? Why fifty years?"

The man looked me up and down. I was wearing what I died in, my tight jeans that hugged my full ass and belly. And the v-neck t-shirt that showed off my hefty girls. It was my favorite casual shopping outfit, I had been t-boned by a drunk driver at nine fucking a.m. in the morning! Any injuries I had were gone so my blonde unruly curls weren't covered in blood anymore. "I'm sorry ma'am but you don't want to go to heaven?"

"Can you tell me, do I spend eternity in heaven with the boyfriend I left behind? I was only thirty when I passed, my boyfriend was too, there's no way he doesn't move on."

The man looked at his tablet. "I'm sorry you don't. It says he remarries two years from now. And they spend heaven together."

I nodded, three years with the man and no ring but I had been hoping. But no I wasn't good enough. Just like my ex, marrying a year after we broke up after 2 years. "Then I have nothing waiting for me in heaven. I don't need to spend it with my judgmental parents. Did my cousin and uncle make it to heaven, they killed themselves?"

Another look at his tablet, "Yes."

"And I have to fucking wait!" I paced in front of him.

"I'm sorry ma'am I have other intakes." With that he buzzed away.

"I'm not done with you!" I screamed at the empty air. This is bullshit! Why would I go to heaven knowing I have no one to spend it with.

"Might as well find a spot to sit, you're going to be here awhile." A woman to my left said.

I eyed her up, "Not if I have any say."

Days and then weeks had passed, I never grew hungry or tired so us poor souls that were stuck here are awake 24/7. Any time I saw a worker I stopped and asked them if they could send me to hell, it was always a resounding no. I growled to myself and paced away from everyone else. "Ma'am can you please stop shouting if I give you some incentive?"

That stopped me in my tracks, "What do you mean?"

"You think you don't have anyone in heaven but you do." He waved his hand and sitting at our feet was Shadow, my childhood dog.

"Shadow baby!" I squealed and dropped to my knees as she charged into my arms. I hugged my black chow chow hard.

"We'll leave her here if you shut up." The man started to walk away.

"No! She doesn't belong here! And neither do I! I belong in hell!"

The man swirled on me and covered my mouth. "Would stop saying that place! You could evoke him!"

He let my mouth go, "You can't tell me saying hell as a swear word is going invoke the devil."

"No but it certainly doesn't help he's going to notice." That gave me an idea, oh such an idiot for not trying sooner. "No! Don't he'll destroy us all!"

"Lucifer! I want to go to hell!" I yelled as loud as I could but nothing happened. I still was on my knees with Shadow in my arms.

The man let out a breath, "Oh good it didn't work." I stood to face off with him but he back handed me and fuck if I didn't taste blood and felt a cut on my cheek. "Now shut up!"

There was a flash from behind us and Shadow moved to stand in front of me. A tall man stood before me, well at 6' 5", dwarfing my 5' 3". He had dark short neatly styled hair, blazing red eyes, and he was handsome. He actually looked very close to the Lucifer from Netflix in his perfectly tailored suit. "You dare hit her?" His deep baritone voice had heat flooding towards my stomach.

"Lucifer sir I... no... umm." The man who had hit me stuttered trying to find words.

Lucifer turned to me as he held up his hand to the man to stop talking. "I've heard you for weeks. Why do you want to go to hell?"

I swallowed and moved Shadow to my side, "I don't belong here and I have nothing in heaven waiting for me. I don't want to spend eternity with my parents knowing my boyfriend from earth has moved on. Please I will do anything." I took a step closer, "Anything, I can be your assistant. Or you can put me in a hell loop or scape or whatever you do to torture souls. But please I don't want to go to heaven." I met his eyes head on but tilted my throat in a submissive way, then cast my eyes down. "Please sir?"

His back straightened at the honorific and I knew I got to him. He stepped closer and cupped my chin to look at him, he was so hot, it felt like his skin would burn mine. "Anything?"

I swallowed again and nodded, "Anything sir."

He let go of my chin and looked me up and down, making me extremely self conscious. And I knew from the blank stare he didn't want me sexually and that was fine. Really totally fine.

Lucifer's POV

This human had been making a damn fuss since the second she died. I had heard her the moment 'hell' passed through her luscious lips. And from that moment I had been watching her, her body was luscious and full figured but she was gorgeous. Her hips would be perfect for holding on to while I fucked her from behind. Now I hadn't known the reason she didn't want to go up top but I couldn't do anything until she said my name. And fuck am I glad she did, just in time too. Jack better start running because I am going to incinerate his ass for hitting my mate.

I knew the moment those stormy blue eyes met mine, she wouldn't feel the mate pull until she was turned into a demon. My dick had been alert as soon as her voice had said my name. But when she called me sir and meant it as an honorific I was in trouble. I wanted to see her on her knees holding position, awaiting my command. No she wasn't ready for my level yet and I didn't even know her damn name yet. "What's your name precious?"

"Levina." She said it so softly I couldn't believe this was the same woman that just demanded I take her with me.

"Mmm means lightning." I said as I stared into her eyes.

"Yeah my parents picked it when they saw my eyes. Because they didn't have anything else. I was a bit of an accident." She seemed ashamed of that. "Never enough." She mumbled to herself and then shook her head and pulled herself back together. "Please take me with you. I'm a great organizer, I was a manager of an electronics store and kept everyone in check. Please I can't go to heaven. I will stay out of your way if that's what you want but please don't leave me here."

"Please don't leave her here." Jack was really begging to be burned to a crisp.

I pointed my finger at him, "You shut the fuck up." I turned to Levina, "You will be my assistant I could use help with paperwork. It is not my strong suit. Let's go." I was being a tad cold with her but I couldn't show her my true feelings, not yet.

.................

Levina POV

I internally was throwing a party but stopped when Shadow whined. "Can you send her back to heaven?" I asked the man as I knelt down next to her.

"No she comes with you. It's what she wants and I could use a guard around the house." I raised an eyebrow at Lucifer. "I can communicate with animals."

I nodded and then threw my arms around his waist, "Thank you!" When he froze under me I quickly pulled away, "Umm sorry I was a huggy person. I won't do it again." I backed up and patted my leg, "Come on baby." Shadow trotted up to my side while Lucifer looked at me.

"She means a lot to you." It wasn't a question.

"Yeah she does, she was my only friend for a lot of years." I avoided his eyes which had stopped glowing red and were a gorgeous purple but it was unnerving and unusual. "Thank you again."

"Hand on my arm, this might be weird. Hold onto her." I did as I was told and then felt like I was being pulled through a vortex. When we landed in a grassy yard I took a deep breath. "Sorry we won't do that often. This is my private residence no one has access but me. Shadow will be safe in the fenced in backyard. I've added a doggy door for her to go in and out as she pleases." I looked at the modern house from the outside and it looked huge. "I will give you a tour later, I really need to get back to my hearings. But you need a new outfit to be presentable in court."

There was tingling over my body and when I looked down I was in a skin tight red cocktail dress. "Lucifer this is too tight for my body." Also extremely low cut.

He assessed my body again, "No I think it's perfect. And I'm sorry but teleporting is the quickest way. Arm." I sighed and grabbed his arm again, it was quicker this time and we landed in an all marble room that only held a really comfortable looking throne.

"Classy." I whispered as Lucifer walked towards his throne.

"Precious come here." That nickname again, when I walked to him in the four inch heels and was half a foot away he grabbed my chin again. "So you said anything and I need a distraction while I talk to these endless demons. Think you can follow instructions?" I nodded and he squeezed my chin, "We use our words."

"Yes sir I can follow instructions." He released a little pressure on my chin.

"Good. Do you know what a present pose is?" He had an evil twinkle in his eye.

"Yes sir." I swallowed, I had dabbled in bdsm and read all kinds of books.

"Good." He stepped up right by his throne and pointed to the left of it, "You will present here while I deal with demons. You will not look at them, talk to them, or engage in anyway with them unless I say so. You may take your heels off but your body won't fatigue or age here so you can hold this pose all day." I moved into position; sitting down on my knees, with my knees spread wide and my hands palm up on my thighs, I looked up at him and waited for my next command. "Perfect, hands up." I held my hands, palm up still, from my lap and he placed a stack of papers the thickness of a book onto them. "You will hold these for me while I work. Now head down while I work precious, I'm going to let the first one in."

I looked to the stack of papers to keep my head down, "Bee! Let the first one in." Lucifer said to his right but I couldn't see who he was talking to. But then the large double doors that I had saw early, I heard open. When Lucifer started talking about territories and trades I started to zone out. After every demon came through he'd remove a piece of paper from the stack in my hands. A few more had come and gone when the door burst open suddenly without Lucifer calling for anyone else to come in.

"Luci! It's been too long!" A shrill voice rang through the room and echoed as I fought to not look at the voice. But when I saw six inch heels shuffled past me and into Lucifer's lap. I didn't have time to stop the foot from kicking me square in the chest and knocking me over. I managed to grab the papers so they didn't fly all over but that meant I didn't have hands to keep me from toppling down the three stairs from Lucifer's throne. I landed on the floor with my face, reopening the cut on my cheek from the purgatory man's hit.

"Brittany!" Lucifer yelled as was over to me in a second.

"The human was in my way! Why was it there anyway? If you needed entertainment I would have gladly helped." When I finally got to my feet I looked at the woman the pushed me down. She looked like a damn model, a Victoria's Secret model to boot, and easily was 150 pounds less then me.

Lucifer ignored her and wiped the blood from my cheek, "Are you okay?"

Brittany sneered my way and I backed up from Lucifer, "I'm fine. I'll just wait over here until you're done."

"Vina..." I shook my head and walked over to the man I assumed was Bee. "She doesn't leave your sight." Lucifer ordered and the man lead me out a side door. The last sight I had was Brittany jumping into Lucifer's arms and kissing him. My cheek wasn't the only thing hurting.
