Chapter 179: I’ll Be Holding You To That
Gluttony reared back at Hattie’ touch like it was burning him. Completely forgetting that he was in his original skin, his horns impaled themselves in the ceiling, keeping him in place when he would have retreated even further.
"You cannot seriously think that," he snarled, his eyes darting around everywhere but at the tiny creature in front of him that he couldn’t understand to save his life. He knew what he looked like; he had seen it in the mirror.
Everyone but the demons from Hell looked normal. Sure, the angels had their wings, but that was the only thing that set them apart from the humans that they watched over. In fact, when they hid their wings, they could easily pass as humans and, more often than not, did.
Demons, on the other hand, couldn’t do that. In order for them to blend in with everyone else, they had to take over a meat sack... and even then, only the strongest among them could do that.
There was no species more ugly than a demon, further proof of just how much their creator hated them.
But Hattie seemed to... find him attractive.
His muscles flinched and trembled under her inquisitive touch as he tried to get his horns out of the ceiling. It was completely embarrassing, and yet...
"I can’t seriously think what?" asked Hattie, her eyes never leaving his skin. "That you look like the sunset over the bayou? That you are attractive? That your size and appearance make me feel safe? Is that what I cannot think?"
Hattie scoffed before turning around and walking back into the small room that had her sent completely saturated in the bed. Without turning around, she snapped her fingers and suddenly was wearing a new dress, one that looked different from her other styles.
