The Perfect Doll

Summary:

Lilith has left Hell...she left him long ago, but now she's even left Charlie. He feels lost, adrift...and so lonely. So Lucifer makes the decision to leave the Palace, to just go out to mingle...just to get a simple drink.

It just so happens that Overlords Vox and Valentino are in that same bar...and unlike most of the Sinners...Vox recognizes the King on sight. And he sees an opportunity for advancement. And Lucifer is so very very lonely...

Chapter 1: The first mistake was leaving home

Chapter Text

What was the point of anything…of existence? Of making an effort, of trying at all? It was always the same result, no matter what he tried. No matter how hard he tried. Failure, disappointment…he was worthless. A huge failure…everyone could see it. He’d been told as much over and over again for the last 10,000 years, so how could he believe anything else? Clearly he was the one in the wrong…

He couldn’t even make a fucking duck blow bubbles without screwing it up!

He threw his failed creation across the cramped workshop before slumping forward on his worktable, collapsing into his arms as he sobbed.

He missed Lilith and Charlie so so much…

He’d thought…after all this time…that maybe…perhaps…?

But Lilith had LEFT . LEFT Hell. Left Charlie!

He had come to terms with her not wanting to be with him any longer…but she left Charlie . Their baby! The culmination of their love!!

…Did she even love him anymore? Had she ever?

She had said she needed space…said that he was exhausting. That she couldn’t rule hell, raise Charlie and take care of him. That he wasn’t ‘present’ enough to be a good father to Charlie. It wasn’t fair, he had done his best! He had done everything he could to be there for Charlie…it wasn’t his fault that sometimes he would drift off…that he would blink and hours had passed. 

She had never even let him try to be a mother…even though he had carried Charlie…she had denied him that…and then taken Charlie from his arms…and he’d never stopped loving her for a moment. 

Or was he just lying to himself? Clinging to the past…desperate to maintain the status quo. After all…she was all he’d ever known. They had both been so new when Eden had been created. He formed from stardust, and she from earthdust. They had not known any better…they had just tried to make the future better for humanity…and the Fell.

Fell into the endless dark, they abyss, the void. He’d shattered…by the time he’d reformed, the Deadly Sins had manifested and they and Lilith had begun setting up the infrastructure to rule…and he’d been rushing to try and catch up ever since. Habits and patterns were the only thing that kept him stable…but he could feel Lilith pulling away more and more with every passing century. And the harder Lucifer tried to cling to her, the more she tried to pull away…just like with Adam!

Was he doomed from the start? Could he never have happiness?

For a brief moment he’d been so blissfully happy. He had never once stopped loving Charlie with every beat of his undying heart.

And oh, had he tried to die over the years…tried in every conceivable manner… but it seemed he was cursed in yet another way, to never be able to shuffle off his immortal coil. 

He’d last tried to kill himself the night Lilith had left with Charlie…but since he recovered he’d done his very best to just…cling to what little he had left…because Charlie might come back to one day…he had to prove to Lilith that he could be better. Give her space…wait for her to come back…

But he’d never expected Lilith to just get up and leave

Now how was he supposed to bridge that chasm between them? 

He didn’t know what to do…

He’d barely left his wing of the palace at all this last century…but now there hardly seemed any point at all at even trying to seclude himself any longer. 

He couldn’t stand looking at another fucking duck…he couldn’t stay here…it was stifling…he was suffocating.

He pushed himself up from the table, nearly knocking his chair over in his haste, and he stumbled, scrubbing his face with his hands as his chest heaved with hiccups. He was fine, he was fine…

He inhaled sharply and straightened up, letting his hands fall to his side. He rolled his shoulders as took a look around before turning on his heel to leave the room with a quick step. He slammed the door open, letting it swing shut as he stalked through the halls, making his way to his quarters. He wanted to get out…he needed fresh air. 

As soon as he made it to his room he tossed his hat to the side before crossing to his wardrobe. He yanked the doors open impatiently, scanning at the hangers of identical outfits. He sighed and drooped as he turned away. Well…what was the point? No one would know who he was anyways…

He snapped his hat back to his head and then snapped his fingers again to vanish in a cloud of crimson and golden sparkles.

--

Valentino sat at his usual booth, scanning the club for any new meat for his films. There were a few potential bitches but none of them really stood out, none with star potential. It seemed like the night would be a dud. The sluts surrounding him were average at best! None of them could be award winners! 

"Val I get you like to hunt in this club but it's not very entertaining to just sit here and watch you pout." Vox scowled, sipping the bourbon in his hand. 

"It's not my fault there's nothing but basic bitches tonight papi. I thought it would be more fun." Val huffed. "None of these whores are worth the effort of being nice." 

"Then why are we still here?" Vox scoffed, eyeing the door. If he left without Val he'd never hear the end of it but this was mind numbingly boring

Lucifer had not planned to go anywhere in particular, and he had not wanted to leave straight from his palace, so he had just set his magic to take him to some empty alleyway where he would be unseen until he could blend into the crowd. The alley he'd appeared in was filthy and reeked of blood and sex and death...but so did most of Hell by this point.

 He peeked around the corner of the building on the outside edge of the alley and blinked at the milling crowd of Sinners. He shrank back for a moment...so many people...he swallowed nervously, eyes glazing over a bit as he tried to force himself to join the flow. He was breathing a bit heavier, sweating nervously as he finally released the building he had been clinging to, and stepped out into the main street. He was jostled and shoved along like a leaf in a stream and he just let it happen.

Eventually the small group he'd wound up with (all three of the sinners towering over him, of course, and they barely seemed to notice him), went into one bar among many...although this one seemed a bit..cleaner? Bigger. Brighter. More like a club?

He stood just inside the door, blinking in confusion before he scuttled off to the nearest booth. Maybe a drink would help...

Vox paused, glass to his lips as he narrowed his eyes at the entrance. Had he seen what he thought he had? It was only a glimpse of course, a small flash of gold and white before it vanished into the crowd. He tapped into the clubs security, scanning the place for confirmation. "Holy shit..." He grinned wide. "Well things just got a fuck ton more interesting." 

"Hmmm? Why's that papito?" Val asked, head lulling to the side to look at his shorter boyfriend. 

"The big man himself is here. And he looks like shit. Could be a good time to.... network." He chuckled darkly, setting his glass down. 

"Oh shit really? Where?" Val looked around the room, sitting up straight. "Are you fucking with me Vox?"

"He's at a booth near the bar. Saw it myself." He stood, straightening his suit.

Lucifer was sitting against the wall, twisting his hands anxiously together, shoulders hunched up to his ears as he did his best to not draw attention, not realizing that by being such a clearly anxious mess he was doing the opposite...the wolves drawn to the ostensibly weak lamb. 

He was beginning to think that this had been his worst plan yet. So many sinners...he felt like he was drowning again. After a century of only himself for his company, and centuries before that of just Lilith and then occasionally the Deadly Sins and Overlords when he had to actually do some Ruling. 

Maybe he should have just gone to one of the other rings...surely Asmodeus would have been happy to see him...? But the thought of imposing made him physically ill. He groaned and laid his face on the table, blinking dazedly at the interior of the club; the flashing lights reflected in his eyes.

"Stay here. I'll call you when it's time to leave." Vox said to Val as he began stalking towards the booth. He could not have planned this more perfectly, getting Lucifer alone was the next step. Not that that looked like it would be hard to do, the king looked ready to bolt like a scared rabbit. He kept his eyes locked onto that ridiculously large hat. He couldn't have made himself an easier target if he tried. He straightened his tie as he approached the booth. "I never thought I'd see you in a place like this Your Highness. It doesn't seem like the kind of place for royalty."

Lucifer's only warning was the faint wave of static that rippled over his body before suddenly a Sinner was standing over him, blocking the light, talking to him...

He gave an indignant squawk and sat up, reeling back to put his back to the wall as he stared goggled-eyed up at the TV-headed Sinner. He blinked like a frog, and then grinned. "Your head is a TV!" he declared before slapping a hand to his face. Stupid, stupid, of course the sinner was more than likely well aware of his physical appearance, he was so stupid, he just made himself look like a fool! He slowly dragged his hand down far enough to reveal his eyes as he stared up at the TV-Headed Sinner again.

"I am sooo sorry, that came out wrong....it's been awhile." he explained in a rush before his mind finally registered the sinner's initial greeting. He gasped. "Wait, you know who I am?" 

Such a sad thing, for a King to be anonymous. So unnecessary that the public would not even recognize him...

Vox cocked a brow. "Yes. Yes it is." He said. What an awkward little creature he was. He sat across from him, folding his hands on the table. "I make it my business to know who everyone is. And I'd be a fool if I didn't know who the king of hell was." He extended his hand for a handshake. "I'm Vox. Of Voxtec Enterprises." He had to be charming. Had to suck up a bit which made him want to vomit but he couldn't just come in on full aggression. The sweet act would win this pathetic man over, he was desperate for any type of interaction it was obvious

Lucifer flushed gold when the sauve sinner glossed over his faux pas...he didn't even comment on what a mess Lucifer was! He relaxed slightly and scooted to sit across from Vox rather than squishing himself against the wall. He glanced at Vox's hand for a moment before reaching to take it on his own. He had foregone his gloves which in retrospect had also been a bad idea, the touch to his bare skin -scarred and blackened from his Fall as it was- startled him with a brief static shock but he did his best to look unaffected. He smiled nervously up at the Sinner. 

"Ah-I'm sorry, I...don't know what that is...?" he murmured weakly. Vox had said it like it was something everyone would already know about...and maybe it was. He bit his bottom lip, averting his eyes for a moment as he took his hand back when he abruptly realized he was still holding Vox's hand. At least he hadn't kept shaking it like an idiot...

"I uh, I don't...get out much? And...I...kind of...have not kept up with the politics...I suppose you must be an overlord though....?" he asked as he turned his gaze back to the sinner, shifting his gaze inward to see how much power Vox had...he did own a fair amount of soul contracts...

He cringed, expecting derision or disappointment...surely his response would bruise Vox's ego...and he knew that no sinner that made it as an Overlord ever had a small one.

Vox grinned a bit. "You have the phone I made sitting in your pocket your highness." He said as politely as he could muster. This idiot ran everything? No wonder hell was such a fucking mess. "I'm an overlord but really I just run a massive tech company. My contracts are all with my employees. Can't have them spilling my secrets after all!" He chuckled. "From television to security I run it all."

Lucifer flinched, eyes wide as he shifted up, putting one hand on the table as he leaned forward and used his other hand to frantically pat down his pockets before finding and retrieving his phone. He pulled it out and stared at it in astonishment. He'd almost completely forgotten about that! "Oh! Yes, I do! You control all this, that's fascinating!" he declared brightly. He was being sincere, he thought Vox must be so creative and powerful to control so much.

"I do my best to please the customers." Vox hummed. "Can I buy you a drink? It looks like you could use some company." He said as he waved down a waitress. "What's your poison?"

Lucifer nodded eagerly as he admired the sinner with renewed admiration. He was so suave and charming, a real businessman! And he completely ignored what a complete mess Lucifer was! He was so kind! He wasn't like the other dregs of society down here at all! 

"Ah, yes please! An appletini please!" he declared brightly. He was looking so much happier, perking up like a neglected flower given a bit of water and sun. Like a sunflower turning to the sun, his gaze was focused on Vox's screen.

"Of course Sire." He gave their order to waitress, who rushed off to grab the drinks. 

"So what brings you out tonight? It's not often you're seen out and about with us Sinners." Oh this was going perfectly, Lucifer was eating out of the palm of his hand. It was almost too easy. Just a little flattery and Lucifer was practically buzzing with excitement.

Lucifer flushed a bright gold and he ducked his head as he stared down at his hands. "Ah-well...I...uh...I just" he stammered, completely at a loss for how to even begin to explain his motivations. "I-uh, was lonely I guess? Lilith left such a long time ago, and I was just in the palace, alone, for the last century or so and-" he began, rambling.

Wait, Lilith left how long ago?

The queen had been gone for a century? How was the possible? From what he'd heard she was really the one in control of things. He'd only been in hell for about 60 years, so he'd only known the mess he'd spawned into. No wonder hell needed overlords just to function, the people in charge were absolutely useless! 

"A century? That's a long time to be alone. It must have been hard to deal with." He said, faking a sympathetic look and tone. It was just another way this was working for him. No one would be looking for the king when he disappeared

Lucifer flinched slightly and wrung his hands together as he nodded tiredly. "I-yeah...after Charlie was born...Lilith just got...sick of me...so she took Charlie away to raise her on her own and I just kind of...stopped." he muttered before laughing nervously and glancing up at Vox again. The reassurance he saw there soothed him and his shoulders dropped again. "I just kept waiting for Lilith to come back...I knew she was busy ruling Hell and raising Charlie, but I figured...if I just waited..." he shrugged helplessly.

"Seems unfair to you honestly." He said as he took their drinks from the waitress. "From what I've heard you gave up quite a lot for her." He handed Lucifer his drink. Were appletinis usually a pinkish red? Maybe this bar just made them a different way...

"And nobody gets to the top alone. Even I have business partners."

The reassurance and validation nearly had him in tears and he scooted  a bit closer to Vox as he continued to stare at his screen. Something about that screen was so soothing...he glanced down when the drink was placed in front of him and gave a small happy wiggle. "Oh, yes, Carmilla and Zestial work together so well!" he agreed, nodding happily as he accepted his drink, picking up the glass and taking a long sip without hesitation or a hint of suspicion.

Vox couldn't help but smirk. Who would have guessed the king of hell would be the easiest fucking target he's ever gotten? He didn't even question the off color! "They're a good team, but their ideals are a little dated. My partners and I want to change the dynamic. And I think you're just the person to help us do that Lucifer." He took a sip of his own drink. He sent a quick text to Valentino, urging him to come to the table. They had him now, they just had to wait for the love potion to kick in completely

Lucifer was briefly startled by how sweet the drink was...a bit strong too! And there was this strange aftertaste that he couldn't quite place...some herb maybe? They must have their own formula, and of course he had an insatiable sweet tooth. "Oh, this is so good!" he said happily as he looked back up at Vox before taking another drink. "You're really nice, Vox, I can see that you must be popular!" he added.

"I'm glad you think so." He hummed. 

"There you are papi! I was wondering where you'd run off too." Valentino all but cooed, draping himself over Vox. "Leaving me all alone like that." His eyes slid over to Lucifer. Holy shit the king really was there! Vox hadn't been bull shitting him!

"Lucifer, this is one of my business partners, Valentino. He runs our adult entertainment department."

Lucifer nearly jumped out of his corporeal form when Valentino showed up, his entire body rippling slightly as his demonic attributes pressed against the barriers between dimensions where he kept them folded away. He managed to restrain the change and smiled shyly up at the tall moth sinner...he was so handsome...He watched him drape himself over Vox and felt a brief flare of jealousy...

He hid his reaction by dropping his eyes to his drink, getting lost in the nearly hypnotic swirl of pink in the glass. He felt thirsty so took another drink, a gulp rather than a sip. Huh...was it getting hot in here? It was hell so it was always hot but now his clothing felt too constricting...he shifted uncomfortably, reaching up to tug at his collar.

He blinked up at the partners, wondering why they looked so much more attractive now than they had a moment ago...he really did like them tall...he grinned a bit doppily.  "Adult Entertainment...? That's silly...adults can watch cartoons too...but you make movies? That's so cool..." he giggled.

Val chuckled softly. "Already Voxie? He went down fast." He said, a smirk splitting his face. "You feeling alright, sweet cheeks? You look flushed." He reached out to stroke his warm cheek. "Such a pretty color. I could make you a star." 

"Back down Val, this one's mine." Vox hissed softly. 

"Fine, fine. So possessive."

Lucifer blinked dazedly up at Valentino, not really following his words. He flinched slightly when Valentino stroked his cheek, eyes wide before he leaned into the touch, eyes slipping shut. “A star…?” He echoed with a breathless giggle. “I already was one…created from stardust you know! And I was in charge of creating the other stars!” He explained proudly as he sank into a nostalgic mindset.

"Maybe that drink was too strong. Why don't we take you somewhere a little more private?" Vox offered. "We wouldn't want anyone to hurt our king now would we?" He offered Lucifer a hand as he stood. Once he took it it would be over for the angel, and no one would care.

Lucifer blinked as he came out of his daze, gazing up at Vox in confusion for a moment before nodding and accepting Vox’s hand. He was so thoughtful!

Vox grinned, pulling him close. "Excellent choice. Come with us." He guided him towards the door, Val on the other side of him just in case he got a little squirrely. If only poor Lucifer understood just how badly he'd messed up. But at least he wasn't alone right?

Lucifer stumbled slightly as he got to his feet, falling against Vox before he could steady himself. He was surprised by how muscular Vox felt beneath his suit. The moment he realized that he was pressed against the sinner, one hand on his chest, he flushed a bright gold and stared up at Vox, feeling mortified. He stepped  away with a nervous laugh, but didn’t pull  his hand away, and he let the sinner lead him from the bar.

“Oh, it’s been awhile since I had any alcohol, so I guess I’m a lightweight now!” He said with another nervous laugh. But really, he’d never been so affected so quickly…he usually had to drink quite a lot to even get tipsy… 

"They make their drinks pretty strong here. Don't worry. We'll keep you safe, your highness." He led him to a limo parked outside, opening the door for the small angel. Both of the men really did tower over him, making him appear even smaller than he really was. 

"We'll take you to our penthouse. You can sleep it off there." He grinned.

He was a bit unsteady on his feet, and everything seemed tinged in pink now…everything was getting foggy, except when he looked at Vox or Valentino. They stood out in sharp contrast to everything else, haloed with a strange pink aura…he nodded absently, agreeing with whatever Vox had said. The sinner was taking such good care of him…it had been centuries since anyone cared about his well-being…

When he noticed the car door was open he finally pulled his hand away from Vox’s -albeit with some reluctance- and slid onto the seat before looking up at the sinner. “At Voxtech, right?” He asked, wanting to prove he’d been paying attention.

"Yes, at Voxtec." He chuckled, the men sliding in next to him, pressing him between the pair. Did they have a scent? It was sweet and strong. It practically filled the air in the car, suffocating and thick. He couldn't escape it as the limo roared to life and took them far from the bar

Lucifer was a bit startled to be flanked, he had half expected them to sit across from him? Wasn't that the etiquette? But he really was in no room to complain...besides...they smelled so good and it felt nice to be touching them all along his body, shin and thigh and hip and arm...his skin was buzzing from the stimulation and his mind swam as he tried to focus. He inhaled unsteadily, eyelids lowering slightly as he began panting softly, cheeks flushed a dark gold, pupils dilating. 

They smelled...so...good.

He pressed his thighs together as pleasure began coiling in his groin, the ache between his thighs enough to nearly make him beg for relief. He was already starting to leak slit from his cunt, and his little cock was already tenting his trousers, a bead of pre soaking the material in a slowly widening circle. He hadn't been so aroused in eons...since when Lily and he had begun trying for Charlie...

Oh...he'd loved having a baby in him...that had been the happiest he'd been since the Fall...maybe these sinners wanted to put more babies into him...he wouldn't mind...

"You know. You're really too trusting, Lucifer." Vox hummed, claws running along the angel's jaw. "Just hopping into a stranger's car. You make for an easy target. But that's what you want isn't it? To be taken advantage of?" Sharp teeth were in display as he looked down at the unfortunate idiot. "I mean you reek of desperation and the need for approval." He laughed

Lucifer blinked several times as the words eventually filtered down to his consciousness and he began to have a slowly dawning sense of horror. "O-oh...you drugged me..." he murmured. He blinked again, pulling away from Vox stiffly. "Well...you can't kill me...I tried every method imaginable so I suppose you want to use me for my power...it's all I'm good for..." he muttered, heart breaking as he realized the betrayal. He was a fool...and he was so tired...and how had his heart gotten so involved so quickly…?

And part of him -the drugged part he realized absently- wanted to please the overlords.

"Oh we're not going to kill you. That's no fun. I'm going to break you. Well, break you more. You're already pretty pathetic." He gripped his jaw tightly. "You're going to be a great test subject for my angelic restraints. 

"Was being nice killing you Voxie? You couldn't even make it to the tower." Valentino chuckled.

"Well between the straight love potion and your smoke he won't be able to fight us off. I figured I could quite pretending. Hes going to be a good boy. Aren't you Lucifer?" He asked, looking into the angel's eyes. Was Vox's eye moving...? It was so...soothing...relaxing almost

Lucifer's brow puckered as he let Vox pull his face towards him again. He could fight off the compulsion if he wanted...but he didn't really want to. He'd done this to himself after all...and maybe they could make use of him--he growled weakly, squeezing his eyes shut as he tried to block out their scents, tried to slow the hot arousal boiling in his veins, throbbing between his legs. He...could overpower them...he was their KING, they had no right to treat him this way--

He gasped when Vox squeezed his jaw, his eyes flying open as he inhaled sharply. The edges of everything went softer and he went nearly limp, gazing into Vox's eye, eyes glazing over. "Hnnn...yes..." he panted. He wanted to be good...

"Good." He cooed, saccharine sweet. "You be good, we'll take care of that little problem you have brewing." Vox pulled him into a rough kiss, full of teeth and tongue that easily overpowered his own.

Lucifer smiled sweetly as he nodded as much as Vox's grip on his jaw allowed before giving a startled moan when the sinner began kissing him. His eyes widened before sliding shut. He put both hands on Vox's chest as he turned towards him, arching his back as he willingly began to swallow around Vox's tongue...he had no gag reflex to speak of. one of Vox's teeth nicked his lip, and the golden ichor of his blood began to bead.

Vox chuckled darkly against his lips, lapping up the bead of sweet gold as he pulled away. "Who would have guessed our mighty king would be such a needy slut." 

"Careful Voxie. Keep teasing him and he may not even make it into the building before he's begging for cock." Val had a wide grin on his face, just as eager as his partner to tear the angel apart.  Who would give up the opportunity to fuck the king after all? Only a fucking idiot would! He wrapped his lower arms around Lucifer's waist, pulling him close. "He's going to be fun to pull apart. I bet he's a cryer." His head dipped down, long aphrodisiac laced tongue licking a strip up his throat.

Lucifer trembled, eyes opening slightly as he watched Vox pull away, panting softly as he tried to follow what Vox was saying...he seemed pleased with him though! And that made him feel warm and happy...was he being good? His chest was heaving and he clutched at Vox's waistcoat as his mind spun. He was so hot...he was wearing too much clothes...he glanced down at Vox's groin.

He gave a startled whine when Val grabbed his waist, pulling him back against the moth-sinner although he didn't struggle. He moaned again as his throat was licked, his head falling back to bare the entire length of his delicate throat. "Ahhh...Vallll..." he whined again, biting his bottom lip as he pressed his thighs together. "Hnn...hot..." he panted.

Valentinos hand crept down from his waist to his crotch, pressing firmly against the damp cloth that covered him. "What a whiny little whore. Soaking wet and we've barely even touched you. I bet you'd let us fuck you on the street if we wanted to wouldn't you Luci?"

Lucifer chirped when Val's large hand crept between his legs, hips rocking up to grind his little cock against Val's hand as he moaned loudly, head falling back against Valentino's chest as his eyes rolled back and his tongue lolled out. It had been so so so long since any hand but his own had touched him there...

"Yes, yes, please!" he chanted as he rutted shamelessly against the sinner's hand, and when the sinner curled his fingers he'd  find the soaked patch underneath his cock where his balls would be... He spread his legs for Valentino's hand to better cup his groin.

Unfortunately for the poor angel Valentino pulled his hands away as the limo slowed to a stop outside of the Vee tower. 

"You better fix yourself Lucifer. Do you want the press to see you looking like a desperate whore?" Vox said, straightening up his own suit. "I can see the headlines now." He chuckled.

Lucifer whined miserably, eyes opening to peer plaintively up at the sinner as he pulled his hand away...his cock throbbed and his cunt clenched around nothing. He was so empty and he hated it. He straightened up a little when he heard Vox, turning his attention back to him and blinking once before taking an unsteady breath and snapping his fingers. It immediately cleaned up his appearance. He hesitated, staring at his hands and preparing to snap again. He could clear his mind...

Escape ...

"Ah ah." Vox gripped his chin tightly, forcing him to look at him. "You said you'd be a good boy Lucifer. Or would you rather deal with your problem alone?" Alone. If he left he'd be alone again. Just himself and that terrible burning ache that filled his body with need.

Lucifer flinched, shoving his hands behind his back like a guilty child as he stared into Vox's gaze, shaking his head slightly. "No, Vox, I'll be good!" he promised quickly.

"Good. Now. You're going to get out of this car, ignore the paparazzi and go straight into the building, got it?" He demanded. 

"You're so big and in charge, papi. I love it when you get like this." Val cooed as he got out of the car, heading inside as he ignored the flashing lights and crowd

Lucifer hesitated for a moment before a look of determination flashed across his face. "Yes Vox." he acknowledged as he shifted his posture a little. When Vox gestured for him to follow Val he sid out of the car and followed his path into the tower, ignoring the crowds of sinners and hellborn on either side, eyes slightly blank as if he didn't even see them. Didn't react to any of the jeers or cat-calls or questions being thrown at him. As if he did not hear them. He followed Valentino into the tower and then paused just inside the door, blinking in confusion before looking around, feeling adrift. 

When he saw Valentino he relaxed and he forced himself to walk calmly towards the moth-sinner, resisting the urge to reach for him, but only just. He had a faint sheen of swear on his face from the tension and he looked about to snap.

Valentino guided him towards the elevators, a firm hand on his back as he walked with the king.  "You look ready to burst angelito." He teased. "Are you that desperate for relief?"

Lucifer trembled beneath Valentino's hand but allowed himself to be guided as he looked up at him. "I-...it's been...so long..." he admitted haltingly. "Since Charlie was born..."

"Oh this is going to be fun. You're practically a virgin." He grinned, leading him into the elevator as it descended. He lifted him easily as the doors closed, pressing him against the wall. He guided his legs around his waist before kissing him roughly. He could practically taste the lust on the king's tongue. Vox could have his share when he decided he was done brown-nosing the cameras.

Lucifer's brow furrowed slightly, and he tilted his head a little as he tried to figure out why that statement didn't quite make sense. "I've had lot of sex though...?" he muttered absently as he followed Valentino into the elevator. Mostly with Lilith, but in the early days they had experimented a fair amount...he'd fucked all the other Deadly Sins at least once...

He gave a startled chirp when Valentino picked him up before brightening and clinging to his shoulders. He eagerly wrapped his legs around Valentino's thin waist, gasping as his sensitive cock was pressed against Valentino's muscular abdomen. The sinner was much too tall, and Lucifer pouted a little even as he suckled and swallowed around Valentino's thick tongue, drinking down the pheromone laden saliva mindlessly. He felt hotter than ever...and so eager to please.

He rut his hips, shamelessly and mindlessly grinding himself against Valentino.

Valentinos claws dug into his thighs as he held him up. A dark chuckle filled the air mingling with the whines and mewls Lucifer couldn't help but make.

"Careful amorecito. We wouldn't want the fun to end before Papi gets here." He purred against Lucifer's lips. His upper arms slid under Lucifer's shirt, sharp claws teasing his flushed and sensitive skin as he felt him up.

Lucifer whimpered, thighs clamping tighter around Valentino's waist when his claws dug in. He gasped for breath when Valentino's tongue finally pulled out of his throat with a loud slurp, and he blinked up at the moth-sinner with glassy eyes and a dazed grin. "Oh...I have a really quick refractory period...and I can cum a lot in one session..." he admitted brightly. He arched into Valentino's hands, biting his bottom lip as he squirmed. His belly was soft, but he was more muscular than one would think. And when Val's hands slid up higher he would discover that Lucifer had a pair of small, firm little tits.

"Aren't you just full of surprises." Val quickly pulled his hands back, ripping through his shirt and vest with ease. He wouldn't need them anymore anyway, it wasn't like he'd be leaving the tower anytime soon. His mouth was on him in seconds, teeth and tongue lavishing his small chest with attention he hadn't had in a century.

Lucifer preened a little at the praise, eyes glowing as he lowered his gaze to his chest, a bit disappointed when Val pulled his hands away, but he was not disappointed for long, squealing as his shirt and vest were torn as easily as if they were tissue paper. He gasped, clutching harder to Valentino's shoulders, his own claws digging in as his sensitive nipples were teased. Every time Valentino tweaked them his cunt clenched and he began to leak even more slick as his eyes crossed and he mewled.

"Ah-Val...!" he begged. Everywhere that tongue licked began to burn, and if he didn't get something in his cunt soon he thought he'd go mad.

Val only paused when the elevator finally dinged, opening up to the vees penthouse. He huffed softly as he was forced to separate from Lucifers chest. 

He carried Lucifer inside, passing by Velvette who sat in the living room. "Try to keep it down tonight. I have a show tomorrow." The doll huffed. 

"No promises~!" Val cooed, taking Lucifer to his room. 

Vox sat on Val's bed waiting for the pair. "Took you long enough. What, did you have a quickie in the elevator or something?" 

"No I saved that for you Voxie. Since this was your plan." He leaned down to kiss the other Sinner, setting Lucifer on the bed next to them.

Lucifer went limp, collapsing against Valentino’s chest and shoulder as he whimpered. He was so hot…empty, everything was burning…”Val…please…” he whimpered. He didn’t even notice the woman they passed, too focused on burying his face in the moth-sinner's throat and inhaling his scent. He only finally lifted his head when he heard Vox, and he turned to look at him. He huffed a little as he was set down, and he watched the two overlord share affections silently although it was making the jealousy in his gut roil.  He wasn’t jealous that they were being affectionate with each other per se, just that they were excluding him. He wanted a cock now, dammit!! He hesitated to intrude, not wanting to be bad, however.

Vox side eyed him as he parted from Valentino. "I don't know how you expect us to do anything while you're still dressed Lucifer. Do you expect us to do all the work?" He asked as he loosened his bow tie

His eyes went wide and he hesitated for a moment before quickly obeying. He took his hat off and set it aside gently (he didn’t want to hurt Eden in his haste) and then shrugged out of his jacket and the shredded remains of his shirt and vest. Then he slid up off the bed, little breasts bouncing, toeing off his boots revealing dainty little goat-like hooves, and shimmied out of his pants.  When he bent over he revealed the glistening slit between his legs…

Sharp claws slid over his exposed cunt as Vox admired the sight. "How cute. Dripping wet and you've barely been touched at all. Are you really just a needy slut instead of a king?" He taunted.

Lucifer gave a little bleat and jumped before straightening up and turning to Vox with a slight pout. “I-I can’t help it! It’s been too long!” He replied weakly. He really hadn’t been touched by anyone else since Lilith left, and as an Angel he had been made to be loved. Lacking that love had stunted him badly. Now he’d accept it from whoever he could get it from, even if it was a lie. 

He wrapped his arms around his waist and ducked his head, pressing his thighs together. His little cock was not quite a micro-penis, but it was certainly smaller than would be suggested by his frame. Hardly more than a glorified clit!

"Oh look at that Voxie. He's got a cute little clit." Val cooed. He teased the tip with his claw. "I don't think I've seen one this small in a while. It's adorable." 

"You had a wife packing that little?" Vox laughed. No wonder she left if that was what she was working with!

Lucifer puffed his cheeks out indignantly, eyes glistening with unshed tears of shame. He stared down at Valentino’s claw, admiring how big his hand was…”I! I’m a shapeshifter! If Lily wanted a horse cock I’d give it to her, but she preferred to top…and this is just what I’ve been comfortable with lately!” He explained quickly before trying to cover himself. “If-if you don’t like it I can change it…” he offered in a more meek tone.

"Now why would we want that? It's not like you're using it." Vox scoffed.

Val slapped his hands away. "Hands off!" He scowled. He picked Lucifer up just as easily as he had earlier, throwing the small Angel on the bed. "Keep those hands to yourself Angelito. That's not yours to play with anymore." He grinned. He stood from the bed, undressing himself as Vox did the same. As they shed their clothes the differences were more and more obvious, their muscled frames, toned and hard. And God above their cocks were massive! And they each had 2! How would he ever be able to take them, it had to be impossible!

Lucifer gave a soft bleat as his hands were knocked away, and he looked up at Val with astonishment before squealing as he was picked up and tossed onto the bed like he was nothing more than a doll. He leaned up on his elbows before going still, eyes wide as he watched them strip...he swallowed, eyes darting back and forth between them. Admiring their toned chests and arms, then dropping to their groins..."O-oh!" he gasped, flushing up to the roots of his hair. 

He bit his bottom lip and let his legs fall open.

"How are we sharing?" Val purred. "He's got holes to choose from after all. And he's practically begging for it." 

"I'm taking that pussy, I don't care what hole you use. He won't complain, will you, Lucifer?" Vox asked. His hand wrapped around Lucifer's ankle, pulling him to the edge of the bed. "You're going to take what we give you like a good little whore."

Lucifer bit his bottom lip as he nodded, pupils blown out as he allowed himself to be pulled to the edge of the bed. "Ah...yes Vox..." he agreed meekly, eyes darting between him and Val with anticipation. His cunt clenched as he waited for them to use him...he stared at their cocks with delight, eager to be filled. It did not occur to him that they might not fit so easily...

"Good boy." He praised, slotting himself between Lucifer's open legs. His cocks rutted against his dripping cock, threatening to press in with each lazy thrust.

Lucifer practically came from the praise alone and his eyes rolled back as his chest heaved. He rolled his hips, slowly lifting his head to stare down himself to watch Vox’s long tapered cocks slid against either side of his while teasing his hole. The friction was amazing, but the place where he needed them most was a bit lower…”Please…” he gasped, clutching the blanket to keep from trying to grab the sinner.

Vox grinned wide as he gripped Lucifer's thighs, hiking his hips up as he quickly and swiftly pressed his cocks into his slick cunt. "Well since you said please." He cooed cruelly. He let out a pleased groan at the tight heat that engulfed him, squeezing him so tightly it was almost painful. "Oh fuck yes! Such a tight little slut."

"Gah-!" Lucifer nearly swallowed his tongue as he choked, clawing at the bed as his head fell back. He gasped, trying to back away on his elbows as his little hooves kicked out and he gave a choked sob, cunt spasming around Vox's intrusion, trying to squeeze him out. 

Oh, it hurt! So much, he felt like he was being ripped apart...! He didn't realize he was crying until he tried to open his eyes and realized that everything was blurry.  His breath hitched  miserably and he tried to plead with Vox to stop, or at least slow down, but every thrust of his cocks was punching the breath out of his lungs.

He didn't even have a moment to plead for mercy before Valentino had his cocks pressed against Lucifer's lips. "He looks so cute covered in tears. I thought you wanted him to fuck you Angelito?  You were begging for it." He taunted, taking the first opportunity he had to press his lower cock deep into his mouth. 

Vox tightened his grip on Lucifer's thighs, keeping him firmly in place as he took his pleasure. "Stay still! Be a good little fuck doll and take it!" He growled, thrusting roughly as punishment for his misbehavior

Lucifer's gaze turned plaintive as he stared up at Valentino before abruptly finding himself swallowing around a thick, throbbing cock. He made a gagged whine for a moment, trembling between them as he fought them just for a moment. 

But...they smelled so good...tasted so good...they had nice big cocks to keep him filled...it was his fault that he wasn't prepared for Vox...he'd been the one begging for it...

He went limp and submissive as his eyes slid shut and he stopped struggling. His cunt stopped clinging so desperately and although Vox's cocks were coated with his blood as well as his slick they began to thrust more easily in and out of him. His little tummy bulged every time Vox bottomed out. Meanwhile he had swallowed obediently around Val's cock, taking him to the root with only a slight struggle. He began to suckle, hungry for the taste of him.

"That's a good boy." He praised. Fuck this had been so easy! He barely put up a fight at all! Who would have guessed the king would have been such a weakling? 

"Such a cock hungry little angel." Val purred, his hand wrapping around Lucifer's throat loosely. He could feel his throat bulge with each deep thrust. His free cock rubbed against Lucifer's cheek, smearing his pale white skin with his pinkish red slick.

Lucifer's brow furrowed and he made a stifled whine before opening his eyes a little, just enough to look up at Valentino and then down to Vox. He felt like he had cotton in his ears, muffling the voices of the overlords. The pain in between his legs was starting to fade; the sharp pain now dull, the pleasure starting to return. He rolled his hips against Vox's, driving his cocks deeper as he moaned around Valentino's cock.

"You're such a desperate little toy. Trying to get more already? You barely even put up a fight." Vox taunted, grunting as he yanked his hips into each thrust.   "You're much better as a fuck doll than a king. Should broadcast that slutty face all over hell, let everyone see what a cock hungry whore their leader is." 

"So mean papi." Val chuckled, squeezing Lucifer's throat tightly as he pressed deep into his throat. He purred as his throat spasmed and massaged his cock

Lucifer whimpered around Valentino's cock, and shook his head as much as he could, but really, internally he agreed with Vox. He had never wanted to rule...he didn't have the capacity for it. When Seraphim were created, they were created fully formed and with a purpose. They were not made to adapt...to change, to reach for a new purpose the way humans could. And he had never had the purpose to rule, not like Adam and Lilith had. So he'd been floundering since the moment he Fell.

If he was just their toy...to be used for their pleasure, could he finally fulfil his purpose? To be loved? To bring creativity and dreams to the hearts of man?

He clenched around Vox's cocks and moaned, squeezing his eyes shut as he tried to focus on how good it was starting to feel...

He just had to be good right? They'd love him if he was good for them. Make him feel good, he wouldn't be alone anymore either. It didn't sound so bad...

"Oh? Do you disagree? Got something to say, Luci?" Val hummed, pulling back to give him the chance to deny it, fight what Vox was saying. 

"Come on, speak up if you got something to say." Vox grinned as he roughly pressed his thumb against his tiny cock, squishing the tip against his bulging belly

Lucifer whined as Valentino began pulling his cock out of his throat, the thick ridges dragging along his esophagus in a way that had no right to feel as good as it did. He took a deep gasping breath when Valentino's cock left his mouth, and he briefly lamented how empty his throat was now. He blinked up at Valentino to beg for him to put his cock back down his throat before Vox started abusing his cock and he gave a startled moan. 

"ah-Haaa..." he whined, shaking his head sightly, trying to get the words in his mind to make it to his mouth. He opened and closed his mouth several times before finally managing to make a coherent sentence. "I-was...not made to...have the capacity to...rule." he panted, averting his eyes in shame. He bit his bottom lip and clenched around Vox's cock again. "I-hmmmm~ Ah!" he began before gasping and nearly collapsing as he came. 

Even he was a bit startled to have cum so suddenly, but at the moment his mind was blank and all he could feel was pleasure.

"You made a mess of my hand." Vox tsked, stilling his thrusts. Fuck, the way his cunt was spasming nearly had him flooding Lucifers insides! But listening to his torment was just too good to end so quickly. "Clean it up." He demanded, shoving his cum covered hand against his open mouth. "Make up for your misbehavior and maybe I'll cum inside your useless little cunt."

Lucifer whimpered, flinching slightly at the disappointment in Vox's voice, he turned his face away, expecting to be struck when Vox thrust his hand towards his fac before registering his command. He nodded quickly and leaned forward, opening his mouth and letting his forked tongue slip out. He peeked cautiously at Vox as he began lapping at his hand, wrapping his tongue around his claws and sucking on them.

"Such an obedient little angel. So eager to please." The praise was like water in the desert. If Lucifer was a good boy he'd get more praise, more attention, more love. 

Vox pulled his hand back when he cleaned his head to a spotless shine. "You deserve a reward." He gripped Lucifer's hips tightly, resuming his rough pace as his claws dug into Lucifer's soft flesh.

Lucifer perked up as he was praised, looking like an eager puppy, surely if he had a tail it would be wagging. He moaned when Vox resumed fucking into him, the sloppy wet sounds echoing around the room and he collapsed back onto the bed, moaning unabashedly.

The pain from before was barely a memory, and he could already feel the tension tightening once again in his groin. His walls fluttered around Vox's cocks as he panted softly, rocking beneath the force of Vox's thrusts.

"Close again already? Gonna cum on my cock like the needy whore you are?" Vox was growing close himself, itching to flood his practically virgin cunt for the first time since the queen. 

"Hurry up Papi, I want his ass next. I want to see his face when I rip his ass apart." Val all but whined, as if he was being denied a treat

"Ah-yes, yes, please...! Fill me up!" Lucifer begged mindlessly as he writhed beneath the corporate overlord. It been so long since he'd been warmed by a nice load of cum...he sobbed when Vox hit his g-spot head on, one of his cocks practically stabbing it. "Ah~! Vox!" he wailed, clawing at the bedding.

The way he tightened up did Vox in, an almost feral growl filling the air as pump after pump of warmth flooded Lucifer's insides, a faint blue glow just beneath his skin. "A-Ah fuck!"

Lucifer wailed in ecstasy, arching his back  like a bow as his cunt clamped down tightly, convulsing though his own orgasm.

"What a cute reaction." Val purred. "I'll definitely use you in a movie. You'll be a favorite no doubt." 

Vox gave a pleased sigh as he pulled out, admiring the mess of blue and gold that covered Lucifers gaped hole. 

Valentino grabbed Lucifers waist, quickly flipping him into his belly as he raised his hips. "Just like a little rag doll." He licked his lips at the mess. "Try not to scream too loudly baby doll. Or do. All of hell would know how much of a cock slut you are." He pressed one of his cocks against his unused hole, using Lucifers slick and Vox's cum as lube as he pressed in slowly. He wanted to shove both in at once but with how tight he was it would hurt Valentino to do so

Lucifer was preening slightly at the praise, the tacit approval. He had done well, he was a good boy...and he was basking in the afterglow when he was suddenly flipped over. He grunted, startled as he clung to the bedding, peering over his shoulder up at Valentino. He blinked once when he realized Valentino's intentions and had the barest instant to try and prepare himself before he was impaled. He'd managed to use the barest touch of magic to lubricate himself, but had not managed to stretch himself more than the width of one of his own pinkies...hardly sufficient. 

He wailed, sobbing and trembling beneath Valentino, but he didn't try to struggle or pull away this time. He shifted his hips up, and pressed his breasts into the bed to try and ease the angle. Tears and snot poured down his face as he felt torn apart, again.

"Awww...such a pathetic face. I can't wait to see what you look like when I use both." Val was practically buzzing in sadistic glee. He leaned over Lucifer, his long tapered tongue lapping up Lucifer's golden tears. "So sweet. Tell me how it feels." He demanded, his upper arms pinning Lucifer's wrists to the bed as he moved. His thrusts were slow but harsh, pulling out to the tip before slamming back in to the base.

"G-gah! Ah! Big...so...big!" he gasped, mind reeling as he tried to keep his body from rejecting the intrusion. Clenching down just hurt more. He felt torn, surely he'd bled on Valentino's cock too. "So...deep..." he continued, almost moaning; Val's thick cock couldn't help but rub cruelly over his prostate...the burst of pleasure didn't quite cancel out the pain, but the vacillation between pain and pleasure was making him drool as he went limp and his ass relaxed a bit.

"Oh baby it's going to get so much bigger." He cooed. "Am I the first to get this tight little ass?" Val hummed. His free cock rutted against Lucifer's ass, painting even more of him in his shade. "Your little wife ever fuck you like this?"

"Ah-ah...so-mmmmmmmtimes...b-but...ah! Not...often!" he admitted as he squirmed beneath the moth sinner. He bit his bottom lip and peered almost shyly back over his shoulder at the overlord. "She-ah...wasn't...mmm as big as you...." he added almost coquettishly. Was the little slut flirting?

"You flatter me, baby doll." He cooed. "Daddy always pleases. Especially little sluts like you." 

His lower hands teased up his stomach to his chest, claws latching into his nipples. He pinched and pulled the sensitive nubs as he drove his cock deep inside of him. He stilled for only a moment, pulling out only to press both of his cocks against his hole. "Beg me to rip your ass apart Luci. Be a good little whore."

Lucifer nodded eagerly, agreeing with the entire sentiment as he started to feel the pain ebbing. He'd be sore afterwards until he healed, but it wasn't an agony any more...he moaned when his nipples were abused, eyes crossing slightly as he rocked back against Valentino's cock, only to make a dismayed sound when the sinner began pulling out. Had he done something wrong? 

He turned to look over his shoulder again before going still, eyes widening as he began to feel true fear for the first time this night. He swallowed in a suddenly dry throat, and his terror began to clear out the cobwebs in his mind. He clutched at the bedding, lips parted as he stared at Valentino's cocks. Just one had torn him up so badly...he was barely stretched for that now...but both?! It might kill him! Sure his deaths weren't permanent, but they still hurt! 

But...he wanted to be good...right? His breath hitched and he made a miserable whine before peeking up at Valentino. There was no succor there...Valentino was going to stuff those cocks up his ass whether he liked it or not...

"I-I want them...daddy..." he whispered meekly.

"Such a good toy. So quick to learn." Valentino praised. His cocks slowly pressed into him, stretching him more than anything ever had before. Even Vox hadn't been so thick! 

"Keep those hips up Luci. I'll be even rougher if that belly touches the bed." Val's too sweet tone made the threat no less terrifying. At least he kept attention on his chest, small sparks of pleasure bleeding into the pain.

Lucifer relaxed slightly as he was praised, and that managed to ease some of the tension in his anus, and he was so grateful that Valentino was going slowly...he was being much more careful than Lucifer had expected. He nodded quickly to indicate he understood the threat, and got his knees under himself as he raised his hips up higher. 

"Yes, daddy!" he gasped.

"Good boy. Taking Daddy so well. Gonna be my new favorite toy." He practically vibrated with the thrill of it all. "You're gonna learn to love this pain. Cause I'm gonna fuck this tight little ass until it gapes open permanently." He suddenly slammed in to the hilt, the slow pace tossed to the side in his excitement. His thrusts were even harsher than Vox's, leaving no room for reprieve or rest. He wasn't out to make Lucifer feel good, he wanted to chase his own pleasure.

Lucifer's shoulders relaxed a fraction and he nodded slightly, trying to relax, to be good. It hurt, but he thought he could handle it if Valentino kept going at this pace--he screamed so shrilly that it rattled the lights, screamed until his voice broke. He collapsed in on himself although even in agony he was doing his best to obey, sobbing weakly, twisting his wrists beneath Valentino's hands. His thighs trembled, but he kept his hips up. Not that he had much choice with the way he was being railed.

"D-daddy-hurts!" he sobbed.

Valentino chuckled darkly at his cries. "Feels fucking great to me baby. You're so fucking tight! Gonna stuff you so full you'll be leaking my cum for days!" He growled.

His precum coated Lucifers insides, tingling and warm just like his spit. Were all his fluids aphrodisiacs? Would it help with the pain? 

"Keep being a good doll for Daddy and I'll pump you full of my eggs! You'd like that wouldn't you? Carrying around my eggs every day, feeling them press against your insides every time you move." He purred. It wasn't a shock Valentino had a bit of a breeding kink. Or more so he liked watching people struggle while stuff full of his eggs.

Lucifer whimpered, burying his face in the comforter while trying to breathe through the pain. It hurt-but slowly...as the precum began absorbing into him, the pain began to -not ebb- start feeling so good...he moaned, arching his back, lifting his hips and trying to spread his thighs more. "Ah-ah..." he panted, barely registering Valentino's words except for a few key terms that caught in the cheesecloth of his consciousness. 

Eggs. Eggs...

"Ah...yes...please, I'll give you so many babies..." he pleaded, shifting to peer up at Valentino with one eye.

Valentino grinned down at him, vicious and cruel as he slammed deep into him. With a satisfied groaned a large squishy intrusion bulged down his cock, lodging deep inside the angel

Lucifer shrieked, burying his face again and his shoulders hunched to his ears as he sobbed, clenching around Valentino's cocks before he forced himself to relax, to allow the new intrusion. He moaned weakly, panting as his egg pressed deeper, deeper than the cocks alone had reached.

It seemed never ending, egg after egg filling his insides. There had to be at least 10, each the size of a baseball. The only saving grace was they were soft enough to allow some compression. 

Val groaned like a scared beast as the stream ended, only to flood him further with his pheromone filled cum. He chuckled darkly as he slowly pulled out, spreading his cheeks to enjoy the river of red and gold that flowed out of the small king

Lucifer sobbed as each egg breached his already torn rim, whimpering breathlessly as each egg worked it’s way into his guts, only starting to relax just before the next one breached his rim and he started the cycle again. He was exhausted and limp by the time Valentino finally pulled out and he collapsed with a weak sob.

"Such a mess. What do you say  baby doll? We showed you such a good time." Val hummed. 

"I hope you didn't break him completely Val. It's no fun if he has no fight left at all." Vox said as he handed his partner a cigarette.

Lucifer slowly lifted up his blotchy face, soaked with tears and snot, and he blinked wearily up at Valentino. "T-th-thank you daddy..." he whispered.

Val pet his head gently as he took his cigarette. "I'm sure he'll have plenty of fight left in him once my venom wears off. He’ll be fun still." Valentino shrugged. 

"Like hell we're letting it wear off. We have work to do. Can't have him trying to run out on the fun." Vox said, sitting beside Lucifer's battered body. 

"Leave it to me, papi. I know how to keep bitches in line." Valentino chuckled

Lucifer laid his head back down, trembling slightly, sniffling. He blinked up at them, not really comprehending their words. Everything felt like he was underwater; his vision, his hearing, even the sensation of the air on his skin. His breath hitched with a miserable hiccup and his eyes were unfocused as he started to drift off.

They weren't even paying attention to him, too focused on their conversation and plans. He was just a toy after all, and who cared about how a toy felt?
