"Just leave it to me," Lust smirked.

I had no idea what idea formed in his malicious mind, but I knew it would work because well...he's Lust.

"I need someone to come with me to the bank," he stated. It wasn't a question, it was more of a command. However, it seemed like he wanted me, specifically, to join him because he looked at me and widened his eyes for a second, allowing me to get the hint.

"I'll join you," I offered.

"N-no! Maia! Someone else can g-" Joshua looked over at Lust and decided it was better for him to keep quiet. I know Joshua can get possessive and annoying at times but he means well. Lust went and changed his clothes while I waited with Wrath.

"Are you angry at me?" He asked so innocently, that I couldn't even imagine he could be the same person who punched Lust.

"What do you think the answer is?" I snapped back.

He remained quiet and my heart sank. Wrath never came across as a person who wouldn't know what to say or would just leave a situation without an argument. He seemed...at loss for words. I wanted to tell him that I wasn't really that angry at him when Lust came out of the room. He wore a white dress shirt, that hugged his body, showing off his godly proportions. He wore dress pants, that was one size too small, and it made me think that he did it on purpose. His shirt was topped with a black suit jacket, tailored to perfection. He had a tie on that was loose and his dress shirt had an extra button undone, exposing his perfectly tanned chest. It took all the will power in me to tear my eyes off him.

"Ready?" He asked.

I couldn't form words so I just nodded. We got some of the money Lust had "taken" from the gas station and got a taxi to the Bank of San Francisco.

"Why are we going to a bank?" I whispered.

He replied, "because I'm going to the bank to get a loan for our company," he emphisized the words loan and company, which lead me to believe that we were going to steal, again.

Once we reached the bank, Lust amd I made our way in. We went over to the administration and asked for the owner.

"Do you have an appointment?" She asked, bored.

"I don't think I need an appointment," he stated. She looked up at him, unamused but when she looked in his eyes, her own widened and began to turn the deep shade of blue that I saw when I first met him.

He's using his powers.

"Of course, right this way," she said, smiling uncomfortably wide.

She guided us through a series of hallways, turning right and left multiple times. I lost my train of thought after about 10 left turns and 12 right turns.

Finally after walking for what felt like hours, we reached an office at the far end of the bank. She knocked on the door, lightly, as if trying not to disturb the person inside.

"Enter," a low grumble spoke.

And we entered.

Lust's POV: (I know yall are excited)

We entered the brightly lit room to see a man, no a boy, probably not a day over 30 sitting on a huge black chair, much taller than he is. I grinned because young ones are easier to trick. My mind began to fill with mischievous ideas. I signaled to Maia to wait while I approached the young man.

"Good afternoon," he stated.

Leporem.

I felt something tug at my soul, taking a piece away from me. I could feel my aura changing, getting colder. Charming people through the power of lust was extremely entertaining. I knew how to do it perfectly, even without using my powers.

The man looked up at me and smiled, a forced smile. A single strand of his jet black hair fell onto his handsome, well structured face. It ended on his high cheekbone, which made him look even more perfect. My brother, Pride, wouldn't have liked that.

I lifted my hand and tucked the loose strand back behind his ear, my soul trying harder to push my power outward. His eyes mimicked my deep blue ones as I smiled.

"Hello," I cooed, trying to sound seductive.

I could feel his body tense up underneath my touch. This reaction was normal, yet I felt weird since I could feel Maia's presence behind me. I walked over behind his desk and leaned against his table, standing in a suggestive position. I could feel his gaze hovering over my whole body.

"I'm gonna ask you a favour," I said, my voice getting deeper and more serious.

"A-anything for you," he stuttered.

"Anything?" I smirked. His pale face slowly turned a light shade of pink.

"Anything," He confirmed.

"I'm going to need some...money," I said, licking my lips.

"Take as much as you want, even more," he winked.

I knew he expected more but I didn't want to give it to him. I moved a bit to allow him to pass, still underneath my power. He took us to a door at the back of his office, pushed in a series of numbers and the door swung open. We were exposed to a bunch of vaults and he took us to the first one and began to initiate entrance protocol. I watched exactly what he was doing yet I could still feel the pull of my power in my gut.

He opened the vault door and we saw mountains, mountain and more mountains of money and gold everywhere. My eyes widened at the amount of money present in the vault and to think that there are probably around 50 other vaults in this bank and not to mention the fact that San Francisco, only, probably has around 30+ banks.

If my brother, Greed, was here, he would have taken a lot more than what we came for. I walked over to the nearest pile and picked up a stack of money, tied together with a rubber band. This was about a thousand dollars. I picked up nine more stacks like that. Holding all that money made me feel more powerful, even though I'm a demon. I guess what they say is true, money is power.

"Got it," I informed Maia.

Maia's POV:

Watching Lust charm the man was so fascinating to watch. He looked so normal whole doing that, like it was second nature.

"Got it," he informed me.

I happily cheered and we were about to walk out when it happened.

The alarm started blaring.

Author's note:

Damn it took me 3 days to write a chapter. I guess this will go on because I'm failing my mocks so I wanna study!

Anyways, did you like the Lust POV? Expect more in the future.

Leporem means Charm
