Summary
What happens next is not in any handbook Seth’s walked her through.
Mark gasps and his hips jerk underneath her and his eyes roll back, and for a moment she thinks she’s somehow hurt him, but when she breathes in there’s something brand new running over her tongue, sweet and intoxicating and certainly not fear.
She’s never tasted it before from a human but she immediately knows what it must be: lust.
***
Helena is the worst sleep paralysis demon in Hell. When she's assigned to Mark, things go off the rails.

Summary
She remembers the sight of Mark between her legs, the way she gripped him by the hair and held him there, wordlessly begging him not to stop. But she can’t get the image of Helly out of her head. Helly with her clothes askew, lips parted, messy hair framing her face—wild and uninhibited like she always is, like Helena only got to be the few days she stepped into her shoes and tried to walk into Mark’s heart.
Helena wants.
