Lily was fascinated by the ad on the telephone pole:

Ghost- One night only!

With a picture of a man and his guitar. His face was painted like a skull, and the jacket… it was, frankly, horrendous. She just had to know what this was about.

She went to the specified venue, a bar she'd never been to on the other side of town, ordered a drink, and sat at one of the tables nearest the stage to wait on the performance to start.

The bar filled rather quickly, and she wound up sharing her table with a handful of other young women. They were chattering about how dreamy the frontman is, and how otherwordly the band members seemed. Lily rolled her eyes.

A guitar chord was struck, and she looked up with mild interest.

"Hey, baby! Kiss the goat!"

His voice was captivating… Lily felt herself becoming more and more intrigued, he was clearly having so much fun. It was quite endearing. One of the girls elbowed her.

"He's watching you, look."

Sure enough, he was stealing glances at Lily every so often, seeming to watch what made her smile. Their eyes locked as his band played the introduction to his next song and he knelt on the stage, holding out his hand, staring at her expectantly. She stared back at him for a moment before getting up, standing before the stage and taking his hand. In one swift movement, he lifted her onto the stage beside him and put the microphone back on its stand, then began to lead her in a dance. His hand found her waist, and she swore the band was drawing out the intro on purpose…

As suddenly as he had started, he released her and began to sing; a soft, slow love song filling the air and making Lily's heart flutter like mad.

No… She couldn't be… Her parents would never approve of him…

But his voice, his eyes… His stupid, puppyish eyes…

As soon as he finished the song and turned back to look at her, she decided there was only one thing to do.

She took him in her arms and kissed him, leaning over him, arching his back terribly. She knew it likely hurt… but he didn't seem to care. When she let go of him, there was a teartrack marring his paints… Had she overstepped?

He quickly hugged her again, pressing a soft kiss to her cheek. He cocked his head in confusion when the band started playing another song… they had finished the set already. He smiled softly when he recognized the melody and began to sing:

"I can't help…"

"Falling in love… with… you…" Lily finished for him.

It was impossible for them to tear their eyes off of each other, but had they been capable, they would've seen an audince captivated by the sudden, unexpected romance… and a remarkably smug band, glancing at each other and giggling softly as they played.

When the song was finished, they hugged tightly, took a bow, and stepped backstage as the band gathered their instruments.

"So… don't think I caught your name?"

"Lily! I'm Lily… and Nihil, right?"

"In the flesh."

"What kind of name is that?" She asked playfully, batting his shoulder.

"The kind of name my freaky dad would pick."

"How didn't your mom tell him no?"

"She was too dead to stop him."

"I'm sorry I mentioned it…"

"It's alright!" He smiled softly and took her hand in his, giving it a gentle squeeze. "Want to go see a movie?"

"Rosemary's Baby is showing at the drive in."

"Really? You seen it yet?"

"Maybe…" She cracked a smile.

"Don't spoil it for me!" They walked out to the parking lot and she dragged him towards her car.

"I'm driving."

"Yes, ma'am."

"That's a good boy. Hop in."

"Oh…"

"What?"

"Nothing… Nothing!"

"You sound local but I've never seen you before."

"Ah, I'm from a few towns over. Asher's Valley."

"They say that place is home to a cult. Bunch of devil-worshippers." Lily laughed.

"Kinda?"

"Wait… it's true?"

"Promise me that you'll let me speak before you decide we're insane."

"That isn't reassuring." Lily drifted to a gentle stop at one of the lights in town and gazed over at Nihil. "But sure, tell me. I'll hear you out."

"Well… yes, it's technichally classified as a cult. And yes, we worship Lucifer."

"You don't, like, kill babies, do you?"

"No. Surprisingly common misconception."

"Then, er, what do you do?"

"It's pretty boring, honestly. Soup kitchens and food pantries and community meals are the main things right now. We provide a lot of public sexual education and help with safely placing unwanted or surrendered children in foster care. We actually have six or seven kids living at the ministry itself right now, because they aged out of the orphanage."

"We?"

"Oh. Yeah… about that… The Reverend is my dad."

"What?"

"There is an Unholy Mass every Monday but… it's not any more violent than a Christian service. And a lot more loving, I think, seeing as I've been to both."

They fell silent for a while, Lily staring straight ahead as she drove.

"I understand if you don't want anything to do with me now."

"Quite the opposite, actually, I'm fascinated."

"What would you like to know?"

"Why Lucifer? Wasn't he evil?"

"In our doctrines, we view no deity as pure. All of them have imperfections, and the Christian god could not accept his. Lucifer had the courage to call him out, essentially tell him that he's not above the other holy beings."

"And that resulted in the fall? But if he was right, why didn't Lucifer stay locked in a battle forever?"

"Because he acknowledged that an eternal argument would be pretty pointless. He decided to descend to Hell to welcome and care for those the Christian god would inevitably forsake."

"And by extension, your job is to welcome and care for those rejected by Christianity?"

"Yes, but also just… anyone who needs it. Lucifer doesn't care about religion or status of rejection, he just wants people to be fed. He loathes the thought of anyone being deprived of earthly needs."

"Correct me if I'm wrong, but: You feed people. You take care of kids. And everyone freaks out because you're not doing it in the name of the 'right' god?"

"Pretty much. And we have a band, courtesy of me. My dad isn't super pleased, but it's surpisingly helpful to be traveling like this. And… money from performing doesn't hurt."

"Damn." She thought. "This mean I don't need to do any convincing to make you sin?"

"You're welcome to convince me anyway."

"Maybe after the movie." Lily signalled to turn into the drive-in line.

"How married are you to seeing this tonight?"

"Not very. Why, you scared?"

"What? No, of course not," Nihil laughed while refusing to look at her.

"The left hand of Lucifer, heir to the Satanic Papacy, afraid to watch Rosemary's Baby… wow."

"I am not afraid."

"Bullshit." Lily pulled back onto the road and reached to stroke Nihil's thigh. "We'll entertian ourselves another way, then. Get me to your hotel."

Nihil's breath hitched when she slipped her hand between his legs, palming gently at his cock.

"Lily!" He whined, bucking up into her touch.

"Show me what you're packing, prettyboy."

Nihil panted softly, struggling to undo his belt and pants. His eyes fluttered shut when he felt her hand wrap around his shaft, stroking him hard. Precum dripped from his tip just moments after he reached his full size, running over Lily's fingers. She glanced quickly over at him, licking at her lips when she saw his size.

"Oh, you're big." She gave him a squeeze and smiled wryly at the little whimper that escaped his lips. "You wanna cum, big boy?"

"May… ah…"

"Asking? So polite… Yes, cum for me." Her stroking got a bit rougher, and soon, Nihil's spend was dripping down her fingers. She lewdly licked each one clean, eyeing him to make sure he was watching. He gazed at her, a long, low whine of desperate need escaping his lips.

"Left up here…" He finally managed, remembering he was supposed to be getting her to where he was staying.

"Left. Got it." She turned. "Grey roof?"

"Purple."

"I know the one." She sped up substantially on the straight, smirking, eyes staring sharply at the road before them. She braked and turned expertly around the corner, then whipped into the parking lot.

"Cover up, then take me to your room," She told him, getting out of the car and slamming the door behind her. Nihil hurriedly zipped himself back into his pants and led Lily to his room, the corner of the lodge, bottom floor, furthest from the office.

"It's a little messy, sorry…"

"Doesn't bother me. I'm here to make it worse, anyway. The bed, at least." Lily slammed her full weight into Nihil, pinning him to the bed. He stared up at her as she unbuttoned his shirt, shivering as she thumbed over his nipples. "What do you want me to do to you, boytoy?"

He whined desperately, already straining against his pants. Lily backed off long enough to shrug off her dress, letting Nihil's shaky hands pull off her lacy panties. He stared longingly at her cunt, resting a hand soflty on her hip.

"Please..?" He whispered, staring up at her with wide, desperate eyes.

"Please, what?"

Nihil lay back on the bed and tugged Lily towards him, pressing her dripping cunt into his eager mouth. His trembling hands gripped her ass, guiding her to sit a little lower. He lapped and sucked like a man possessed, encouraged by the way her thighs squeezed his face as she neared her climax. She came hard, gripping the headboard to keep from falling, feeling Nihil lick every drop of her slick out of her folds.

"Oh… good boy, Nihil," She purred, sitting back on his chest as she regained her composure. "I think you deserve a treat. Show me what you want."

Nihil whined and turned on his side, pressing a fingertip into his desperate ass. Lily stilled his hand immediately.

"Let me. And never fuck yourself dry like that, promise."

"But-"

"No. You'll hurt yourself." She got up to pull something out of her bag and Nihil whimpered in annoyance. "Shut up. You can wait thirty seconds."

"Why do you-"

"Doctor's orders." She smirked. "Now ass up, prettyboy."

She generously lubed her fingers and pressed one of them into Nihil's ass, listening with satisfaction at his needy moans of pleasure. She very quickly added a second, fucking them as deep into his ass as she could.

"Tell me what feels good." She tried a handful of different depths and angles, until Nihil jerked and almost fell beneath her.

"There! God, there…"

She carefully rubbed circles where he dictated, feeling him tremble even harder. He gave a weak, pathetic whine as he came, grinding back on Lily's fingers.

"Good boy, cumming so pretty… Do it again." She pressed even harder, smiling as he gasped and squirmed beneath her. She reached to stroke his hardening cock, feeling his hips stutter forward as he bucked into her hand.

"Lily…" He whined, screwing his eyes shut. His arms gave out, sending him crashing into the bedding.

"You alright?" She purred, pausing.

"Mhm… keep going..?" He slurred, hugging the pillow and burying his face in his arms.

"My pleasure." She worked a third finger inside him and he groaned, rocking back onto her hand. She worked his cock in time with the thrusting of her hand and he came hard, clenching madly around her fingers.

"Good… you're so pretty."

"'M pretty?"

"You are… you're my prettyboy."

She lay back on the bed, legs spread wide.

"Got one more?" Lily asked as he slowly turned on his back, leaning against the headboard.

Nihil whined as he tried to work himself hard again, struggling to crawl to her.

"Lie back. Let me ride you."

"I don't know… if it'll fit…"

"I can make it fit."

Nihil whimpered desperately, tears streaming down his cheeks, paints ruined.

"Lil…"

"My god, Nihil…" She moaned, fighting to get on top of him. She laughed softly in triumph when she took the head, watching Nihil's face. His chest heaved violently, whole body trembling.

She slid down a little further, panting, struggling.

"I… can't… no more, god…"

"Just…" Nihil grabbed her hips and dragged her down a little further. Overstimulated and desperate, he came hard inside her, Lily's body sagging with relief as he softened.

"You're… pathetic," She panted, falling back on the bed.

Nihil's eyes drifted shut, whimpering softly, still trembling.

"I'll take it all next time. Promise."

Next time? She was planning a next time?

"You're a mess," She cooed, cupping his cheek. "Let's clean up. Your makeup is all over my thighs."

"Mmph…"

"Bath time. Wait here, I'll run it." She got up and made her way to the bathroom, glancing back at him. "Not that you have much of a choice."

"Shut up…"

Lily ran their bath and gently helped Nihil to his feet, settling him into the warm water and sitting in his lap.

"Close your eyes, prettyboy. Let me wash your face."

"You really think I'm pretty..?"

"I do," Lily cooed, kissing his lips. She picked up a new cloth to wash the rest of his body, appreciating his muscled form. He was half asleep when she was satisfied, then scrubbed her own thighs and pulled him out of the tub.

"Lily…"

"You're not sleeping in the water. Come on, let's go to bed."

"You're staying?"

"Of course." She pulled the top blanket off and threw it in the floor and turned down the rest of the covers, cuddling close to Nihil as soon as he was under them.

"Sleep well, Lily…"

"Goodnight."

Nihil lay awake for nearly an hour after Lily had fallen asleep, mind racing. He couldn't believe it…
