***

Lucifer opened his eyes as sunlight hit his face, but he had trouble focusing on anything in the room. His head swam, and he wanted to go back to sleep, but a small voice in his mind told him not to. He needed to wake up, but he couldn’t remember why. He struggled to sit up, but the three women covering most of his body held him firmly in place with their combined weight.

Rosaline’s members responded to his stirring by rubbing their naked bodies against him, as they had done every day for the past month. He watched as they kissed each other, and then moved across his body with their lips and tongues. Something was wrong, though. His skin was numb, his vision was cloudy, and he couldn’t think straight.

“What is going on?” he asked.

One of Rosaline’s singuli mounted him, and she guided him inside of her. She rocked back and forth, but didn’t answer him. She just smiled and kissed his chest, as did the other singuli, but he couldn’t enjoy what was going on. His sensations were off.

He was reminded of the opium dens back on Earth, right down to the casual sex and feeling of oblivion. His head crashed back to the pillow in what seemed like slow motion, and he laughed as sounds echoed slightly, and his skin tingled all over. She continued to massage him as they finished together and the prickling feeling suddenly became acute. He shook his head to clear what he could of the mental fog.

“Rosaline … what time is it?”

“Why do you ask?”

“Am I not supposed to be somewhere today?”

“You haven’t had much reason to leave before.”

Lucifer sat up and extricated himself from the three women’s grasps. “Where is Sariel?”

Her lips parted and she smiled mischievously. “Now we’re talking.”

“Maybe he’ll know what’s going on.”

She pouted. “He left a couple of hours ago.”

“Well, where did he go?”

“The Coliseum, I’m sure.”

The Coliseum. Was there a Certamen today? Maybe he was supposed to compete. They hadn’t asked him to since he had beaten their ten champions. Maybe they only wanted Sariel to participate so it would be fairer.

He slapped his hands to his forehead and pressed his fists against his eye sockets. There was something important going on at the stadium. Maybe he should ask Elandril. His hands dropped to the comforter as the recognition came to him. Today was an important day.

“The coronation!” he yelled. “What have you done?”

Rosaline bounced up and down on the bed. “Can we not go again for a while?”

Lucifer got up too quickly and fell into the nightstand. “What the hell did you give me?”

“An over-the-counter sleeping agent,” she said. “Stop being such a baby.”

“I’m supposed to be at Elandril’s coronation.”

“No, you’re not,” Rosaline said.

Lucifer spun around and fell into the oaken dresser, causing the large, heavy, attached mirror to topple onto him before crashing to the floor. “Where is my suit?”

“At the drycleaners. You wore it to dinner last night, and it got a bit soiled after what my members did under the table.
