“Did you have any trouble finding everything?” Abaddon asked as he stepped into Riley’s room.

Riley shook his head. “No. I’m just not sure if this is a good outfit for our date tonight. I feel awkward in it.” Riley eyed himself in the mirror. The black shirt and slacks seemed to look good on him, but they were just so far from his everyday style that he felt very self-conscious in them.

Abaddon looked him over and shook his head before making his way to the wall of clothes. He began pulling down different shirts and pants, rejecting each one until he came to a pair of dark-washed blue jeans. “Here, try these with that shirt.”

Riley raised his eyebrows at his selection. “Are you sure? I don’t want to be underdressed compared to Cage.”

Abaddon snorted. “You’ll always be underdressed next to him. He’s OCD about his appearance to the point where I don’t know of anyone who outdresses him. But trust me when I say, he doesn’t care. This will look hella good on you. Just try it.”

Riley slipped off the slacks and put on the pants Abaddon had picked up. He looked at his reflection in the mirror. Abaddon was right. The blue jeans did look better on him.

“Say, Abaddon, may I ask you a question?” Riley stated casually as he modeled in the mirror trying to decide if he was a hundred percent satisfied with the way he looked.

“Sure,” Abaddon said as he finished hanging up the other clothes he’d pulled from the racks.

“What kind of guy does Cage like?” The thought had been lingering in his mind all morning. He hardly knew anything about the Demon Lorde that had saved his life and who better to ask than his advisor.

Abaddon shrugged. “The Master doesn’t really have a type. He rarely dates. He’s had some bad experiences with past relationships.” Abaddon met Riley’s gaze with a serious stare. “He’s not as much of a hard-ass as most demons think he is.”

Something about the way Abaddon spoke of Cage made Riley wonder exactly what he meant by bad experiences. It seemed like they both had troubles when it came to relationships.

“That makes me sad. He seems like a good guy.”

“Yes he is,” Abaddon agreed. “I’m glad you see that. Not a lot of people do.”

The corners of Riley’s lips curved upward. “I don’t see how. I mean, it’s not every day a complete stranger saves your life and ensures you’re taken care of. This was what Damian should’ve done for me.”

“Oh?” Abaddon raised an eyebrow at Riley.

“I don’t mean buy me a bunch of wonderful clothes. While I appreciate it, it’s not the material things that I need in my life. I just meant that Damian should have been the one to protect me, to make me feel loved, but he didn’t and Cage has had to pick up his pieces. I feel indebted and guilty because if I hadn’t been the one to choose such a lousy fiancé, then Cage wouldn’t have had to do what he did.
