Free Possession: Immortal Protectors, Book 3 ((Immortal Protectors)) by H.M. McQueen

when the Master instantly flashed right in front of her and clasped her face. Taking the succubus by the jaw, Gerard’s claws dug into her beautiful face. Sebastian almost felt sorry for her.
    “Who sent you to Inferno?” The demon did not expand, seeming to expect Gia to know what he spoke of.
    He had to give the succubus credit as she barely flinched. Gia’s red gaze met Gerard’s for a long moment, as if she debated who had more power, the man who could snap her head off right then, killing her instantly, or the one who’d sent her to Inferno. When Gerard squeezed harder, she gasped, a bloody tear escaped and trailed down her cheek. “Carlo.” Her voice was barely audible.
    “Why?” Gerard hissed.
    Gia whimpered. “He only said to keep an eye out, report if you ever went there.”
    The fury that came from the Master astonished even Sebastian, who’d seen Gerard's displays of temper before. The building shook, and a large framed picture flew across the room landing in several pieces on the floor.
    Then barely glancing at each of the guards in the eye, Gerard froze the two who were not his personal guards in place. With a flick of a finger, they evaporated. So much for thinking the Master’s powers were not strong.
    Yet, Sebastian suspected the actions cost Gerard dearly.
    The Master regarded Gia. “Did anyone see the guards bring you in here?”
    Paled, from both the pain of his grasp and fear she’d be dead next, the succubus replied. “No Master. They brought me directly from my bedroom into the elevator and then straight across the hall into here.”
    Gerard smiled at Gia, the smile so evil-filled that Sebastian’s eyes widened. Then the Master demon covered her mouth with his and tore the sheer undergarment from her. With less than gentle hands, he pulled the female against him. Gia who thrived on sexual energy, began writhing, running her hands through Gerard’s long hair, and wrapped her legs around his waist. Her moans echoed in the room.
    When Gerard threw her onto the desk, and freed himself to ram into her, Sebastian looked away. Not because he wanted to give them any privacy, but because he knew part of the display was for his benefit.
    A sexual being, he took power from sexual energy. Although, he only took from human women and Gerard’s display didn’t appeal to him, being in a room with the act being performed caused his sexual demon to hum. The craving clawed at him to join.
    Gerard’s two remaining guards didn’t bother hiding their interest in the display, one of them even stroking himself openly. Sebastian despised the demonic sexual energy in the room. Their depravity sickened him.
    So much for being a sex demon.
    When the sounds of lovemaking finally stopped, Sebastian lifted his gaze. Gerard yanked the now pliant naked Gia off the desk and flung her down on the floor by the hair. The Master demon pushed a button on intercom atop the desk. “Guards, bring me a cage.”
    Gia began to flay at him, and tried to get away. “No, Gerard, I promise you loyalty, I’ll do anything. Keep me in your bed to service only you.” Her voice hitched in desperation.
    When the cage was brought, she shrieked hysterically, kicking and biting while the guards shoved her into the barred cube.
    “You will remain caged until the next full moon,” Gerard told the succubus, smiling widely at her screams of dread. “If you still live then, I’ll consider granting you my bed.” The cage with the screaming succubus was slid out the door and across to the elevator.
    Gia had been sentenced to near death, as she'd lose most of her good looks if she abstained for that length of time. To a Succubus looks were everything, without them she’d starve.
    “Aren’t you worried Carlo will find her and she’ll tell him why she’s there?” Sebastian asked Gerard, whose desire-filled gaze swept over him, in an obvious open invitation. Sebastian feigned ignorance, it had been a long time since he'd been forced to
