Sonia's POV

I ported out of that hell-hole as quick as that weird-ass blue energy/electric shit would allow me to do. I was focussing so innately hard on a particular image in my head, I didn't feel the strong set of arms, gently encircle my waist just as I left... And therefore they were pulled through my personal portal with me.

I opened my eyes - Yes! Puffing Billy, in Emerald - then there was an audible "POP" which shocked the shit out of me. I turned around, and Ody was behind me. Albeit on the ground and looking all kinds of discombobulated. I walked over to his prone form, laying on the ground of the platform of Puffing Billy, and kicked him in his stomach as hard as I could.

That woke him up. He gasped, coughed, and spluttered. (And that was before he even tried to talk!) "Sonia!" he rasped out, his throat sounding hoarse, "I'm so glad you're safe. I'd been searching for you everywhere. Are you ok? Where have you been?"

The questions Ody was peppering me with, were overwhelming what little headspace I had left.

"Please, shut-up!" I spoke at Ody, not to Ody. "I think I've had about enough of your manipulations for one lifetime, don't you?" Ody's jaw dropped open and closed, dropped open and closed, dropped open and closed, eventually I leaned over, using one finger and pushed it closed.

"What do you think, Ody?" I asked him in return to all his questions. And he did try to respond, but I held his mouth shut and continued to speak. "We had been planning a day of fun... Peter and Pearl kidnapped me, and I was taken back to that Portal place/dimension... I kept sending you images and begging you to help rescue me, and Beelzebub, I think his name is, broke his way in and distracted Peter and Pearl until I could getaway. Then... I think of you instead of home, to find your face in the folds of another woman's pussy, and you want me to be ok with your utterly ridiculous questions?" I ended this sentence screaming into Ody's face. 

Ody simply grabbed my face and mashed his lips against mine. After perhaps five minutes of kissing, Ody pulled back to look into my eyes. 

Even with a chest heaving to grab in breaths of oxygen, I did go to slap his face in anger, but he knew.
He knew I was going to hit him and he caught my arm and said "Sonia, you disappeared out of my suite, and I have been running around the entire city hunting for you everywhere. I haven't stopped, not until I found you in Peter's dimension. Does my breath, my tongue, taste like a woman's pussy to you, mi amour?"

My heart stuttered in my chest upon hearing those words. Mi amour, my love

I looked into Ody's eyes and took a moment to truly evaluate what I was honestly seeing in there.

Love.

Adoration.

A willingness to work with me to achieve any goal I set my heart to.

"Well," Sonia thought to herself "It's high time I tell Ody my deepest secret. If he is truly determined to stand by me, like he says, then this should be a piece of cake!"

Sonia gulped audibly, and Ody both saw and heard it. "What's wrong baby? Talk to me! I want to help!" he says to me in earnest, so... I bite the bullet.

"Ody, I know you say you feel very strongly about me, but you don't know everything about me. There is something I have kept quiet, moreso because it hasn't come up in conversation. But not all topics can come up in casual conversation! You know! Kind of like 'Hi nice to meet you, I've come from an abusive relationship, how are you? Or, Hey there, I've been sued for malpractice, what have you been up to? I'm waffling, and I know I'm waffling... Aaahh geez! Do you know where I grew up? Do you know what pets I had as a child? Do you know what members are in my family? Do you know my favorite color? Do you kno-"

Ody cut off this part of my rant to say "Look, I know our romance is very non-conforming, but Sonia whatever it is you feel you're hiding from me, tell me! I won't mind. I will listen. I will understand! I love you, all of you!"

I had tears welling in my ears at this statement from Ody, and so I figured I had best rip it off like a band-aid - fast.

"I have a son, he's four-years-old and his name is Ryan. I gave him to his father when he was two, becaus-"

Ody cut me off again to say "You don't need to explain why to me. It's none of my business. I wasn't living in your shoes, I could never understand. You did what you felt was best at the time."

I looked up at Ody with newfound respect in my eyes, and then had an image of that skanky, older woman with her thighs clamped around Ody's shoulders. My facial expression must have darkened pretty quickly because I was enveloped within Ody's arms within seconds. 

"What can I do to help, or do to at least help in making you feel better?" Ody asked me, while one arm was wrapped securely around me, keeping me feeling safe, and one hand was drawing soothing circles across my back. "Is there anything I can do for you right now, baby?" he asked me, again.

I sighed but said "No Ody. Thank you, but no. I need a shower and to sleep. If you can help make that happen, I will be eternally grateful." I stated.

Within a blink, we were back in the Executive Suite.

Ody's POV 

I flashed Sonia back to the Exec Suite, and I immediately got onto the phone to room service. Given all that woman had been through, the least I could do was order her up a shit tonne of food for once she was done with her shower. Then, all she had to do was eat and pass out. I genuinely wanted to prove to Sonia how happy I could make her - if she would let me. 

But I also one hundred percent understood her hesitation in trusting me. 

If the image she projected so clearly into my mind was accurate, my step-mother (the cock-juggling thunder cunt) had manipulated Sonia into thinking it was my face between those cavernous thighs. 

The truth of the matter was - I'd refused to take on becoming 'King of Nine Hells' simply because? It meant seeing and dealing with that satan/she-devil Every. Damn. Day! No thank you!

After ensuring food was on its way, I summoned an oversized pair of fluffy pyjamas for Sonia, as well as a new Oodie for her to snuggle in when she came out to eat. I put them outside the bathroom door for her. I then went out to the loungeroom to wait for the knock on the door that said the food was here.

I saw I shimmer over by the television, which was a tell-tale sign that my brother - Beelzebub - was about to rip apart the very fabric of time and walk-in. I double-checked over my shoulder to ensure Sonia was still in the bathroom, and once I was satisfied as such I turned back to my brother in greeting. "I thought you swore you were never going to show yourself to a human again?" I asked him.

He scoffed at me, "She is anything but human. Does she know?"

"No," I started to reply, "She think-"

Sonia chose that moment to walk out of the bedroom. She looked at me like I had three heads. 

"What?" I asked Sonia

"Do you talk to yourself often?" she asked me, and then snickered before I could answer.

"What's so funny?" I asked her

"Asmodeus, God of Sex and Lust, Amazing! Powerful! Wonderful! Speaks to himself in the kitchen!" Sonia said and then broke down in fits of laughter.

"I don't like being made fun of or being the butt of anybody's jokes, but to hear the room fill with her laughter was worth it... Soooo worth it!" Ody thought to himself.

Beelzebub's voice then could be heard in my head "She wouldn't have survived this long if she wasn't human. Find out about her family." was his fantastic advice.

Sonia's voice broke into my thoughts, "...expecting anyone? Ody? Hello! There's knocking at the door... Are you expecting anyone? Oh for fucks sake!"

I caught her rolling her eyes before pushing up the sleeves on her Oodie and heading for the front door. It wasn't until she was almost at the door that my brain recognised what was happening, and I called out "Wait!"

Right... as she pulled the door open.

My body didn't even think, it flashed to the front door just in time to see Sonia being grabbed by demon soldiers and them flashing out with her.

A/N

Hello! I had hoped to have this story ready by September 30th... for the #Wattys2020 but... not only with everything going on in the world right now but having my three daughters home - 24/7 - and assisting with remote learning, and temper tantrums, sibling rivalry, and emotional breakdowns on the daily - I have just not had the time and energy (at the same damn time) to get it all done... add to that, I have a genetic spinal condition that left me laid up in bed from the 13/9/2020 to the 19/9/2020 unable to do anything. 

I look forward to reading your thoughts on this new chapter when I post it in a few day's time.

STAY SAFE!!!

Sonia Rose
