Chapter 7

The drive took about forty minutes, and Charlotte did over a hundred the entire way there. The freeways in Hell were surprisingly well maintained, and there were no other cars on the roads beside us. My girlfriend didn’t talk during our trip, and I noticed the teal glow around her muscles fade a bit every few minutes. By the time we parked the ruined Bugatti back in Satan’s garage, she had started to look normal.

“Get out,” she ordered as soon as she had parked the supercar next to the elevators in the garage again.

“Okay,” I said as I opened the door with a painful gasp. “I’m surprised that our car was able to make it back here with the front all damaged.”

“It is a mid-engine car. The front is the trunk, and has a crash cage,” Charlotte answered blankly.

I nodded at her words and followed her back to the door of the elevator. Something seemed wrong with the succubus. Or at least, she wasn’t acting like she had during the earlier parts of our trip. She seemed more aloof than usual, and she wasn’t making eye contact when I spoke to her. Maybe she was mad that I had kissed her?

She pressed the button for the elevator, and the doors dinged a few moments later. We stepped into the lift, and I gathered my courage to speak again.

“Thank you for saving me,” I said.

“You are welcome.” She stared straight ahead at the doors of the elevator.

“Did I say or do something to make you mad, Charlotte? If so, I’m really sorry.”

“No. You didn’t,” she answered.

“But you seem upset--”

“I’m fine.”

“Okay. I am sorry that I kissed you without asking. I just--”

“Don’t tell anyone you kissed me.” She turned to me, and her eyes glowed the color of the Bugatti’s vermilion paint.

“Oh, ummm. Why?”

“Pretend it didn’t happen. Forget about it. The story is that I rescued you from the rakshasis. They tried to stop us, but we escaped. Do you understand?”

“So. I mean, the kiss--”

“Didn’t happen, and nothing you saw after that happened. Do you understand?” She growled at me.

“Ummm yeah,” I said with a sigh.

“So tell me the story. Quickly,” she commanded.

“The rakshasis were going to eat me, but then you came and rescued me. We drove away in the car. They tried to stop us, but we ran them over. Is that okay?” I asked.

“Yes. That is the story,” Charlotte nodded and turned to face the elevator doors again.

“Can I give you my shirt to wear?” I asked. I'd been trying to avoid looking at her mostly bare chest.

“Why?” she asked.

“It's just that you are pretty much naked and--”

“I'm used to being naked. I like it,” she huffed.

“Okay. It's just that--”

“Are you going to tell me what clothes I can or cannot wear?”

“Oh, no. I'm fine with whatever clothes you want to wear, I just--”

“Because I am happy with my body. I like it just the way it is. If I decide I want to wear clothes, or not, that is my decision.
