Chapter Eighteen

“I certainly wasn’t expecting you.” Asmodeus positively beamed.

“I have no idea why I’m here,” Kala confessed honestly. “I was trying to get back to Zeus.” The last place on earth she wanted to be was with Asmodeus. He was like dealing with a teenager in his constant need for affection and desire to get into her pants.

Asmodeus took a sip of his champagne and sat down on a leather armchair. “Where is the old bird anyway?”

“Wouldn’t you like to know?” Kala wasn’t about to spill the location of the Titans Most Wanted to their number one lackey.

Kala figured she might as well eat something while she was in Vegas, so she plopped down on the matching leather couch across from Asmodeus. “We ordering room service?”

“This is becoming a thing with us.” Asmodeus grinned.

“Except the actual eating part. We never ordered last time,” Kala reminded him.

The room was spectacular. The thing about Vegas was that they did everything big and gaudy. This suite was no exception. Space-wise, it was huge, well over 3,000 square feet and every inch of it was decorated and furnished. The color theme was brown, tan, and gold. It wasn’t tacky like most of the Vegas abodes Kala had visited; the décor was tasteful, classy.

Seeing Asmodeus drinking champagne in a bathrobe started to annoy Kala. “Could you get dressed or something?”

“I can get rid of the robe,” Asmodeus suggested.

Kala rolled her eyes. “Something casual will do just fine, thank you.”

With a snap of his fingers, Asmodeus looked like a model again, with a black t-shirt and jeans. He still held the champagne glass, of course, but a second later one magically appeared in his other hand. Reaching across the gap between them, he handed her the drink.

Kala took it, thinking she could use a drink right about now. This was the third time she had tried teleportation, and it was the third time she had ended up in a place she hadn’t expected.

But Asmodeus?

She couldn’t fathom why her brain had sent her to him. Kala’s only desire was to torture Zeus until he released her of the curse. Why would her mind send her to the one guy who had no idea where Zeus actually was? What could Asmodeus possibly do for her cause? It made no sense.

After ordering room service and pigging out on filet mignon and lobster, Kala felt more herself. Maybe this meal was the reason she had come here. It was almost worth it. She glanced at the clock.

1d 19h 21m 43s: 9:39 AM.

At least it was still morning. Kala was amazed at how much comfort that brought her. It reminded her of nights when she’d wake up thinking it was time to go to work, but really had five more hours to sleep. Kala tried to appreciate the little moments, since she rarely had them nowadays.

“So why are you here?” Asmodeus eyed Kala, suspicious but intrigued.

The guy was so readable. Kala wondered how any girl had ever fallen for his charms. But then she looked at him and shrugged.
