Let’s Get Started!

 So Makhi what makes you special?

“Special? I’m just a Incubus doing his part in making sure the levels coexist without too much strife. We can’t ruin all the fun down here now can we?” The knowing smirk he gives me reminds me of another demon I once interviewed. I can’t help but   wonder if they’re all cocky and self-assured, if so it’s no surprise why they’re found irresistible.

What differentiates you from other demon species down there?

“I forget you earthlings label everything. There are different species of demons. I am at the top of the food chain. I command legions when I’m not—doing other things.” A dark grin spreads across his face.

Do you have special abilities?

“You do realize I’m a sex demon right? Dream surfing is illegal or there’d be more broken hearted females out there. Excuse me a second.” I am surprised, not only is tall, dark as sin sexy African American piece of lean mean fighting machine holds the promise of sexual pleasure in his chocolate brown orbs.  Delightfully he’s also very polite.

“I’m back. The pussycat is bitching about my comment. Seems he doesn’t like upsetting our kitten.”

“Do you want to rescind that comment?” I ask him.

“Not in the least, I am what I am.”

Tell us about your most current adventure.

A sensual smile spreads across his face. I half think he’s trying to seduce me and it’s working. “Hmmm. Well I can’t go into deep detail but… Protecting Kamaria has been anything but boring. Showing her the world denied her has led us on a hell of a trip. Right now I’m still learning how to share. We Inc’s don’t like sharing what’s ours. However the pussy has equal rights to her.” I blink at his referral to a pussy.

“Why do you call him that? Does he have a name?”

“Just because I have to share doesn’t mean I like it, and the name drives him crazy. His name is Caedon and he’s a shifter of sorts, an old one, I believe you’d call him a Saber tooth Tiger in his time.

Tell us a little bit about your author. Where can we find more of her works? And If you could offer your author advice, what would it be?

I believe Orobus summed her persona up nicely. She’s still a nosy brat who interferes and tries to steer everything in her direction. Lucky for us her man keeps her occupied off hours giving us peace to do as we wish in her mind. She’s too damn smart for her own good.” Makhi leans back in his chair. “Don’t let her sweet face and good looks fool you. She manipulates many a demon, and females toward her ways. Gives them ideas, ones that could land them in trouble with their mates. She’s lucky we’re all on to her and protect our women. Plus she has a thing for our resident doc Lucien. He keeps her from trouble while she sleeps. Other than that, she’s like every other female in need of a strong man with a short leash. Some time in the dungeons would do her good. Give her some perspective.”

Are you happy with the way people perceive you?

“Sweetheart, Demons don’t care how they’re perceived. We’re not the weaker link on the chain of living. Our life isn’t all peaches and cream, although licking such a feast from a woman’s flesh would easily be a good way to die.”

“I thought you were a fighter.” His sexual declaration made the heat spike up in the room. Makhi nudged his knee against mine and I felt current zap me. “No funny stuff mister. I’m taken.”

“I’m an Enforcer not fighter, though for the right reason I’ll decimate a foe. I’d do anything for Kama. I know you’re taken, thank God. Now you can quit badgering all of us single males in your head.

Tell us a little bit about your world.

“We live on the third level of Hell. There are many levels. Each level has sub-levels of sorts. Hell you know, is like Heaven with endless capacity to fill. We have homes and offices, shops, bars, much like Earth. You can’t just travel from level to level unless you have clearance. I guess you could call me and my team Demonic Military. Unlike the legions that go out into the mortal world to recruit, we work specifically here. How my world ended up in Azazel’s control is another story and you’ll have to read to find that intel out. Azazel, for his looks, is anything but what you’d assume.

What kind of music do you listen to?

“Sensual R and B. Old school music. We make love not war.” Makhi and his winks and cliché comments are humorous and sincere.

“You could easily be the boy next door.”

“In sheep’s clothing,” he says and chuckles. It brings a stained flush to my cheeks. I have a hard time formulating the next sentence to inquire on.

Is expressing love difficult for you? Why? “

“Now you’re getting into private thoughts.” He frowns and a darkness settles across the angles of his face. “Love, I used to think made people, demons weak. I express anger and disinterest well. Caring? Is more for the pussy cat. But our kitten sometimes needs sweet words and cuddling.” He spit the last word out like it was a striking viper.

“You don’t like love?”

“Women ask too many questions. Next?” He slammed a stoic mask on his face. I can’t help but rib him some more. “Love is so sweet. You know you love your mate.”

“Of course I love her.” He looked at me as if I were daft for assuming he didn’t.” Maybe I’ll let the love question slide, although it’s fun to see Makhi squirm some under the light of interrogation.

Share a little bit of the ‘real’ you with our readers. Any Dark secrets?

“The real me?  I keep it true, a hundred percent. Dark secrets?” He grins again and I can breathe. “That’s for me to know and for your readers to find out.”

What is your most favorite thing to do?

“Fucking. I could skim off others actions and emotions but the act itself is my favorite pastime.”

Describe your abilities and how exactly did you get them?

“I was trained. There’s nothing special in that way about me.”

Is your gut always right?

“Like any other trained soldier, following the gut can be the difference between a painful death and equally painful rebirth in purgatory.”

Does your gut get you in trouble?

“At times. The leader is always held accountable for his underlings.”

Do you sing in the shower?

“Doesn’t everyone?”

Have you ever lost control? And what was the outcome?

“Yes, and beautiful. When I do no one want’s to be around.”

How many sex partners have you had? How many at one time?

“Enough. I do like my cock attached to my body. Going into a history of my sex life will piss off my mate. Plus, I don’t relish the pussy cat getting my time.”

Do you think you are a superior being?

“Superior no, you earthlings have a lot going for you when you don’t fuck it up. I am inferior to your hope and willpower. Other than that, we are more brutal so in that aspect we might have a slight edge over you.”

“That’s not the answer I was expecting.”

“Keeping you off balance has become a game all of us in your head like to engage in. We take bets even and your facial expressions to our thoughts are entertaining.”

What are your opinions your mate’s parents?

“We’re still investigating them. So I withhold my judgment, although sending an assassin out has crossed my mind more than once. 

“That’s kind of harsh.”

“Demons by nature aren’t kind.”

How old are you?

“Centuries old.”

Well Makhi, thank you for your time. Are there any last words you’d like to share?

“Makhi Book One Incubus Enforcers is available is at www.liquidsilverbooks.com. Come for a play date in my world. You won’t regret it, we have incomparable hospitality.” Makhi winked, leaned down and kissed my cheek and was gone before I could blink. He’s just trying to get extra points for the next installment.
