The Sinner’s Canon 7 – 8

Chapter 7

“Dios mio … where am I … oh, wait, Jack? Jack Benton? What’s going on here? Sandra … and Jessica? And who are you?” Rita Escobar stood in her novice’s habit now, truly shaken up by having had the Devil grab her and bring her here to face me and two of my other girlfriends, plus Lilith … and Tyler, of course.

“I’m Lilith, of course. Yes, THAT Lilith. Queen of the Succubi, you see. Sex demoness par excellence. Nicki and I are lovers, of course, but that’s not all Nicki is, of course,” Lilith introduced herself to Rita now.

“You mean Satan. Nicki is Lucifer. The Devil. The Morning Star. The Princess of Darkness. That’s so Elizabeth Hurley it’s not even funny. Doesn’t she have a male form at all?” Rita wondered now.

“I can take one, but I can’t stay in it for long. I’ve been sentenced to spend eternity as a female, you see. One of Jehovah’s most spiteful acts of all, though I’ve turned it to my own favor in many ways, you know. And Hell, of course, where he sent me, is now very much under my control, not his. Which means that I can promise whatever I like and keep my word, thus letting me make pacts with mortals, of course. If they are so inclined,” Nicki let that notion drop as bait to see if Rita would grab it.

“So … no burning, no pain, no none of that, but my soul would still be yours to do with as you please, is that right? For eternity. Basically, slavery … eternal bondage … to the Devil. No escape clause, I would tend to assume. An ironclad pact, this deal with the Devil. How many wishes would one get?” Rita’s ears perked up, “you see, my family pushed me into this because they’re ashamed that I gave up my virginity to Jack here. They’re … part of Opus Dei. You heard of them? Also because I’m pregnant to him. Yes, Jack, I’m having your baby.”

“Opus Dei, the ultra-religious Catholic secret society committed to reforming the world according to their own puritanical version of Catholicism? Might have heard of it. They’re going down, anyway. Once the world is mine, well, you get the idea. And it will be mine, very soon, Rita. Much sooner than you think,” I warned Rita, whose mother’s dark almond Peruvian eyes blended well with her father’s light olive Andalusian skin.

“You’re … the Antichrist?” Rita guessed now.

I burst into laughter, as did Jessica, Sandra, Tyler, Lilith, and Nicki herself.

“Close, but no cigar. Rita, that whole plan was scrapped … well, most of it. The Lake of Fire, plagues, and Great Tribulation were scrapped. Armageddon, too. And the mark of the Beast. And the persecution of Jews, of course. That was never gonna happen. Not my style, which just proves that he can’t choose the right adversary, you know, for his little evil plans. But, yes, I have powers, and I was the one originally intended to be the Antichrist. The Beast of Revelation.

“You see, Jehovah kinda changed his mind about half that stuff, had a sort of mid-life crisis, and chose me to rewrite the canon, which I have. I wrote the really unpleasant stuff out of Revelation, among other things, of course. But I’m still immortal, as is Jessica, and I’m still gonna rule the world. It’s all in the Book of Jack,” I showed Rita the Tome, pointing to the passages scrawled out in my own blood.

“You … wrote this in your own … blood. Why is it in Enochian?” Rita showed me where it appeared in that ancient celestial tongue, but then altered back to English, “holy smokes, it just translated itself for me! Woah, this is really real … it’s really … real … really happening!”

“Yes, well, I’m not quite done yet. Here,” I wrote a bit more in blood, adding Jack’s Own Commandments in contrast to the Ten Commandments.

“Wow, that’s one helluva list there!” Rita beamed at that thought, “your commandments go out of their way to overturn existing morals and social conventions, that much is clear.”

“That’s kinda the point, babe. Now, of course, you have a choice to make. I won’t force your hand. You can try to win favor with Jehovah, no guarantees there, and try to go in the Rapture, or you can stay behind and find a different kind of destiny. You can, if you wish, even join my harem of sorts that I’m forming … starting with my ex-girlfriends … all nine of them.

“They’re my first choices for lovers, wives, concubines, etc. That includes you. You can also make a deal with the Devil, which is not necessarily mutually exclusive with being mine. Just ask Sandra about that. Well, what’s it to be?” I confronted Rita to put the ball back into her court for one hell of a decision which would seal her fate.

“Well, Satan, or do you prefer another name, like Lucifer, Beelzebub, etc.?” Rita checked with Nicki first.

“Call me Nicki,” the Devil encouraged her.

“Okay … Nicki, I’d like to make a deal. How many wishes, if any, would I get?” Rita wondered, making Satan’s ears perk up for sure.

“Three and you can’t wish anything that would interfere with Jack’s will, his lifestyle, his plans, etc. Are we clear?” Lucifer insisted.

“Crystal. Okay, first wish, I want a healthy pregnancy, delivery, etc. I want to be sure to carry this baby to term. Second wish is perfect health, strength, stamina, etc. forever. No diseases, etc. Third wish … I want to be a vampire. There I said it. I want to be a vampire. Can you make me one?” Rita proposed.

“Yes, but you will lose your soul right away in that case, because since you’ll already be dead, I have every right to it … and you won’t die in a normal sense, so well, this is my only chance to take it. You’re going to be literally soulless, but that’s what vampires are, so no surprises there.

“Also, bear in mind that unlike Hollywood versions of me, I lay out the fine print ahead of time, so that I don’t trick people. And the fine print is this. You cannot go out in sunlight at all. You’re trapped in an eternal night, my dear, as of now. You cannot stand human food. Your child will be born human, but become a vampire on his or her eighteenth birthday. No getting out of that.

“You will need a wet nurse for your baby for that reason. It cannot survive on blood like you, after all. Also, know that this means that I will likely use your soul to create a doppelganger of you that I control forever. This current form of you will still be the original. I can make this doppelganger be, do, etc. whatever I please.

“You will also cast no reflection in a mirror. And you will often need to feed. And any souls lost due to you turning people are automatically mine as well. And you will be vulnerable to stakes in the heart, beheading, holy water, and crosses. Garlic, however, will have no effect on you. Nor will silver. Those are myths. You’re not the first vampire, just the first to be made in ages. Always the same rules with them, too.

“Always the same cause, too. Someone’s cute and wants to cut a deal with me to become Nosferatu, the undead, a creature of the night. Now, prick your finger in blood, how very fitting, and sign away your eternal soul in exchange for a soulless kind of immortality. On the plus side, you’ll always be extremely attractive to people. That can always be useful, right?” Nicki stipulated now.

“How will I turn people versus killing or feeding on them?” Rita wondered now.

“That’s simple enough. If you drain them dry, they’ll turn, unless you behead or stake them first. So, be careful who you suck dry, okay? Because once you’ve turned them, they’re changed forever. Then you’d have to kill them as vampires, which would be tougher to do, no doubt of that,” Satan warned Rita, who nodded in response.

“Can I glamour someone, like in True Blood?” Rita asked now.

“Actually, yes, but only for short periods of time. It’s intended mostly to make it easier to feed. So, how about it? Do we have a deal, then?” the Devil inquired.

“Yes, ma’am, we do,” Rita told her as she pricked her finger and signed the parchment in blood.

“Can I change into a bat?” Rita then thought of that.

“Sure, but no other creature, so don’t start thinking that you’re a shape-shifter, because you’re not. You’re a vampire, that’s all. And the bat form wears out if you’re in it too long, which could cause a sudden, sharp, and very unpleasant fall … even though it won’t kill or injure you. Any other questions?” Lucifer asked now.

Yes, can I teleport, because I’d like to go back to my convent, drain everyone dry, and then come back here with all of my new vampire nun converts, if possible. You’d get their souls, but I would get their bodies here with me, ready to aid me in serving Jack here forever. See, I will gladly not only service you, Jack, but also urge others to do so.

“I didn’t really dump you over the cheating as you might think. I dumped you because my parents were mad over the cheating and just the fact that we were lovers. I didn’t mind the cheating at all. Better a cheater like you than a husband like Christ who won’t even touch us,” Rita queried eagerly.

“Go for it, but don’t neglect Jack when you return, my dear. He’ll love the vampire nuns, I’m sure, but he’ll enjoy most of all. Excuse me while I grab Angela now. She deserves a chance to serve Jack, too,” Nicki assured Rita as they both departed.

“Well, suffice it to say that your love life is really on the upswing,” Tyler quipped.

“Good news for you, too. You’ll catch the overflow now, won’t you? Women, demons, vampires, you name it, I’ll get to fuck it, so you will, too,” I high-fived him before fucking Jessica, Sandra, and Lilith in alternating strokes from behind.

Yes, this was gonna be more than my day. It would be my eternity.

 

Chapter 8

I barely finished cumming inside Sandra again at last when Nicki returned with Angela … and another man. And then another … And another. They were all pretty shaken up, including Angie herself. Only the Devil was calm, for obvious reasons. They were all also naked, much to my amusement and delight. They averted their eyes for a moment, but I wasn’t having it from any of them, especially Angie.

“So, this is the monogamous, ‘clean-living’ way of life that you left me to pursue? What did you do, leave the Mormon Church already? That didn’t take you what, six months, tops? Are any of these men your boyfriend? Or fiance by now, perhaps? Well, Angie? Answer me, damn it! You don’t seem to have the courage of your convictions anymore,” I demanded of Angela, even as she noticed my massive cock and started drooling over it…

I was far from a prude or holder of double standards, certainly not one to judge, but her hypocrisy really pissed me off. It was personal. She had dumped me to be with that panty waste Fred, who didn’t even want to fuck her until marriage. Ugh. And then she turned around and dropped every belief for which she broke up with me? That just irritated the hell out of me.

“Yeah, it lasted six weeks, until I met up with Tom, Dick, and Harry here … yes, those are their actual names … and we really hit off. The next thing that I know, I’m pulling regular trains and showing up on their amateur porn video site. Someone else who was naughty, too, must have recognized me, and told the elders and Fred as well.

“Before I knew it, our engagement was broken and I was all alone … except when I fuck these guys. I keep trying to entice Fred into my bed to take his virginity through ex sex. He has yet to cave, sadly enough. I don’t know how or why, but I was reborn as a slut, no longer the jealous prude that you remember,” Angela winked at me now.

“Well, you weren’t a total prude, in your defense. You just didn’t want to share, or be shared, for that matter,” I let her down somewhat easy, recalling how torn my little Brazilian was over her lusts and her recent conversion to Mormonism.

I supposed that my somewhat irrational (somewhat) temper tantrum or outburst of rage or whatever had calmed down by now, hadn’t it?

“Yes, well, I technically never joined … I was never baptized a Mormon. Yet I dumped you to marry another guy, my ex-fiance Fred, who wanted to wait for marriage. It turns out that six weeks was as long as I could actually practice abstinence. I was already climbing the walls by then. I was easy pickings for these guys here, Tom, Dick, and Harry, who incidentally are brothers. Last name is, and I shit you not, Tracy,” Angela blushed as much as she could, given her Brazilian tan.

“Wait, your last name was Tracy and your parents still named you Tom, Dick, and Harry. That’s just … cruel! I hope that you don’t have a brother named Spencer! High school must have been Hell on Earth! Well, maybe not quite Hell on Earth. Nicki stuck her tongue out at me on that point,” I chuckled in response to this news.

“That’s because Hell ain’t that bad … at least not for people like Jack. He’s welcome in Hell whenever he wants to get some demon tail. I’ve issued a formal edict in Hell that any demons who see Jack Benton are to fuck him on sight. I’m not even kidding, in case you want to test me. Please do. He saved us all from the threat of a Lake of Fire. All humanity and demonkind alike should be grateful to him forever for that,” Nicki announced while ogling Tom’s cock.

“By the way, when did you realize that Jessica was my immortal Prophetess?” I asked Nicki, causing Jess to perk up, of course.

“Oh, when I realized just how much she idolized you, the sheer extent of it. I just didn’t tell Lilith yet. I was coming to that, but it wasn’t time. Yet. Sorry, babe. Yes, Jack, while being the Devil normally means never having to say that you’re sorry, that doesn’t apply to my wife one hundred percent. I’m sure that she’ll have some way for me to make amends,” Nicki winked at Lilith, who gave her a very knowing glance and licked her lips with anticipation … those two could never stay mad at each other for long.

That, of course, was when Rita returned with her whole crew of vampire nuns, a lot more people than could comfortably fit into my place. Yikes! Still … vampire nuns … and they were all naked by now. Angela looked at the nuns, looked at Rita, looked at me, and then looked at Satan and Lilith. It fully dawned on her now what was happening. She was in the presence of someone far from human, superhuman in fact.

She had been so focused on relationship stuff that she hadn’t figured it all out in her mind, nor had the Tracy brothers. Their eyes bugged out even more when Nicki took on the classic Devil costume, complete with red skin, horns, a pitchfork, hooves, and a pointed tail. Then Lilith did the same and the Tracy brother all wet themselves in terror.

“What’s wrong? You look like you’ve seen the Devil!” I grinned at them now, even Angela joining in the mirth, “go clean them up, Angie. They’re your boyfriends. Take some fucking responsibility for them.”

Something in the look in my eyes brooked no argument, either. She wasn’t dealing with Fred the Chaste Mormon Missionary Boy anymore. She was in the presence of the Jack. She would have to get used to doing as she was told henceforth, wouldn’t she? I smirked as I imagined bending her over, spanking her, and fucking her while making the Tracy brothers share Jessica or Sandra … or Rita. Or one each?

I winked at each of my girlfriends … and at Tyler … and at Nicki and Lilith, followed by the vampire nuns. The way that they all blew me kisses left no room for doubt. I was increasingly feeling my oats, coming into my own, testing my limits, and getting that awesome taste of power that could be seductive as Hell. Yes, I thought, I could see why they call people “drunk” on this feeling. It was a heady wine indeed … and I had plenty of thirst for it.
