Hell To Pay Read Online Free PDF

He couldn’t find any instances of somebody using a demon to accrue excessive worldly power: he suspected that the Church, or other magicians, would intervene if they caught you at it. So you kept your head down or you got it chopped off.
    The religious literature was very clear that making a deal with a demon, for good purposes or evil, was a big no-no. And using the soul of another to pay your debt was unforgivable in the eyes of God. A few obscure stories seemed to indicate that the demons didn’t always win, but if you gave them another’s soul, you were done. Not that Simon would ever have done such a thing, but in a way it was good to know that that avenue was closed from the start.
    As the days went by, Simon lost interest in everything but finding a way to have Lily. At first he did try to maintain a little social life, to take the occasional “break.” But every woman came up short when compared to the green-eyed succubus. He withdrew into his apartment, coming out only to get food, or take short trips to view more books. But no matter how he struggled with it, he couldn’t find a way. He could summon her, and she’d talk to him - but she would give nothing more without payment. And it was not a price he could pay.

    He was writing out a new ritual of summoning when it came to him. He had already decided that he would have to sell himself as dearly as he could and take the consequences: when he made that decision, it somehow kicked his chain of thought free and a desperate possibility presented itself. There was no way to know what would happen: he could find no clue that anyone else had ever tried a third way out.
    All resolve exhausted, Simon resigned himself to making the bargain and taking his chances. He cleaned himself up, and for once enjoyed a lovely meal at one of his favorite restaurants. With the decision made and the knowledge that he would see her again, he was able to let go for just a few hours. They might be his last. The ritual itself wasn’t without danger, and if Lily got loose before he sealed the bargain, it was all over.
    Finally, he had read and reread and reread the ritual again. The circle of containment was relaid (Simon didn’t mess around with chalk: he used paint , and waited for it to dry.) He took a deep breath and read out the words of summoning, gathering his power and releasing it with the mystic phrases. With each breath, each pause in the ritual, he visualized Lily’s perfect face and thought her name, trying to bind the magic to seek her out and no other. Then it was time.
     
    “Lily, prodio et oboedio! ”
     
    And she was there, as if she had never left the circle.
     
    “Took you long enough. I thought you’d managed to get free of me. I was insulted.” She didn’t look insulted. She looked quite triumphant.
    He drank her in for a moment before answering. “I wanted to get a few things straight, that’s all. It’s not like your side makes it easy for we poor mortals.”
    She laughed. “I just get one thing straight, and I find it very easy to do. So are you just going to gawk again, or are we going to do business?” She licked her lips in that maddening way she had. Simon could almost feel her tongue sliding over his cock.
    He swallowed. “I want to make a deal.”
    Lily’s smile grew huge. “That’s delicious. It’s been a long time. I can already taste you.” She gave him a hungry look.
    She doesn’t mean my body. She wants to eat my soul . What am I doing? “Not so fast. I have terms.”
    “Of course you do. They always do. Let’s hear them.” Her tone of voice was... playful . Like a cat might sound if it could talk to a mouse.
    “First, that you shall be mine in any way I desire. I may use you for my own pleasure as I see fit.” Despite his fear and dread his cock twitched as he spoke. Oh, all the ways I desire you...
    She looked very pleased. “It’s nice that you put that first. So often they start with vengeance or some other
