Gabriel was suddenly told to follow the guard and that a VIP guest wanted him.
Having no choice, because if he refused they would know he was an imposter, Gabriel agreed and followed them quietly. On the way his mind moved quickly, thinking how to deal with this situation.
His first priority was still Ellios. If something went wrong now, everything would collapse.
The hallway was long and silent, far from the loud music of the main club. The deeper they walked inside the building, the quieter it became. Gabriel felt uneasy but his expression remained calm.
Soon they stopped in front of a golden yellow door.
The door looked expensive and strangely beautiful, with patterns carved across its surface.
One guard opened it.
"Go in."
Gabriel stepped inside while the guards followed behind him.
The room was luxurious. Soft lights illuminated velvet couches, golden decorations and a large glass table filled with expensive liquor.
But Gabriel's attention was drawn immediately to the man sitting comfortably in a chair.
A beautiful man.
He held a red cigarette between his fingers, smoke curling slowly in the air.
A man Gabriel knew.
Dan.
For a brief moment Gabriel wondered if Dan had already recognized him.
Dan raised his hand casually toward the guards.
Although reluctant, they still nodded and left the room, closing the door behind them.
Gabriel's mind immediately calculated the situation.
Maybe he still doesn't know.
If Dan had discovered he was an intruder, he would never have dismissed the guards.
Dan motioned lazily with two fingers.
"Come closer."
Gabriel remained where he stood, lowering his head slightly to hide his face.
Dan watched him carefully before smirking.
"Dance for me."
Gabriel resisted the urge to scoff.
"I don't know how to dance."
Dan shrugged.
"Then you're useless."
He pointed again.
"Come here."
This time Gabriel walked forward.
When he was close enough, Dan leaned back in his chair and smiled.
"Hello Gabby."
"Seems like you were eager to meet me."
Gabriel moved instantly.
His hand reached to his waist and pulled out a knife. In a second the blade pressed against Dan's neck.
"Stay quiet."
Dan didn't panic.
Instead he let out a soft sound that sounded suspiciously like amusement.
"That's bad," Dan murmured. "I'm usually loud mourner."
Gabriel stared at him strangely.
Was this man insane?
To make sure the threat was clear, Gabriel pressed the knife to his neck more.
"Where is Ellios?"
Dan rolled his eyes dramatically.
"Oh, so you're here for him."
Gabriel answered immediately.
"Yes."
"So where is he?"
Dan shrugged lazily.
"Not here."
Gabriel grabbed his collar.
"Don't lie."
Dan simply smiled.
One of his legs slowly lifted, brushing lightly against Gabriel's pants as he leaned forward slightly.
"Ellios may not be here…"
He spoke softly. While grinding his leg against Gabriel.
"But someone else is."
Gabriel frowned, tightening his grip.
"My heart only belongs to Ellios."
Dan suddenly laughed.
"Stop being a hypocrite."
Before Gabriel could react, Dan leaned closer and brushed his tongue lightly across Gabriel's lips.
Gabriel froze in shock.
Dan watched his reaction with amusement.
"It might be true you like Ellios," he said casually. "But that doesn't stop you from enjoying other people, other mens."
His leg continued moving against Gabriel. Creating friction that was becoming harder for Gabriel to concentrate.
"Your body doesn't lie." Dan said motioning for the hardness of the pants that's becoming more visible by a second.
Gabriel clenched his teeth.
"That's because no one can replace Ellios in my heart."
He spoke firmly.
"I might sleep with other men, but he's still the one I like."
Dan sneered internally.
Typical humans.
Always pretending to be pure while their desires told a completely different story.
Demons were simpler.
They accepted their nature and lived with it.
Outside however, Dan only smiled.
"Hey no worries, I don't judge."
He leaned closer.
"Think of me as… one of those moments."
Gabriel felt strangely hot.
His thoughts drifted briefly to the past.
He remembered how Marcus Blade had once stopped Ellios from getting too close to men and having relationship with them especially sex. Marcus had always demanded Ellios to always stay pure.
An angel among men.
Gabriel had always agreed. Ellios is a pure person and shouldn't be tainted. A sun that should always be admired but never touched. Thus he always goes to relieve himself with other mens who can never be equal to Ellios in his heart.
Because of that, whenever desire became too strong, Gabriel dealt with it quietly with other men, keeping it hidden.
Maybe it was hypocrisy.
But he didn't care.
He stopped thinking when he felt hands touch his part sensually.
Right now something strange was happening.
The room felt warmer.
His breathing became heavier.
He looked at Dan's face.
Dan was undeniably attractive.
His eyes were playful.
His lips curved in a confident smile.
Before Gabriel could gather his thoughts, Dan leaned forward and kissed him.
Gabriel didn't move away immediately.
Part of him was worried the knife might cut Dan.
But somehow it didn't.
His grip loosened slightly.
Dan's arms moved around him with calm confidence.
The tension in the room changed slowly.
And Gabriel's focus on his mission blurred under the strange heat filling his body.
Surrendering to the incubus and passion.
Morning came quietly.
Gabriel slowly opened his eyes.
For a moment he didn't move.
His gaze fell on the man sitting nearby.
Dan.
The incubus leaned casually against the bed, watching him with an amused expression.
The morning light made his body look almost unreal.
Smooth skin.
Perfect proportions.
A body built for temptation.
Gabriel stared longer than he intended.
Dan noticed.
"You're staring."
Gabriel snapped back to reality and immediately slapped his own forehead.
"Damn it."
He had completely forgotten his mission.
Ellios.
He needed to focus.
Gabriel quickly began gathering his thoughts.
If Dan knew something about Ellios, the best way to find out was simple.
Stay close.
Get information.
Dan, meanwhile, was remembering the previous night.
A slow smile appeared on his face.
The energy he had taken from Gabriel was… incredible.
Rich.
Addictive.
Stronger than any human he had encountered before.
Dan could almost feel the change inside himself.
If things continued like this, he might evolve into a demon lord incubus sooner than expected.
His eyes returned to Gabriel.
The human was staring again, deep in thought.
Dan frowned slightly.
"Why are you frowning when I was the one on receiving side?"
Gabriel blinked.
"What?"
Dan smirked mischievously.
"You're the one who enjoyed yourself the most."
Gabriel froze in shock.
Dan stretched lazily.
"Honestly, Gabby."
"You humans are too confusing."
Gabriel didn't answer.
Instead he quickly dressed and prepared to leave.
And that was how it started.
In the following days, Gabriel returned to King's Night Club again and again.
Each visit had the same goal.
Find information about Ellios. Through sex with Dan.
And each time, Dan welcomed him with the same amused expression.
Because to Dan, Gabriel had become something very rare.
The only human whose energy tasted better every single time.
And the more Gabriel returned…
The more addictive it became.
