"It is just Belial," Crowley agreed. "A snog and a grope is pretty much just a polite greeting. Wouldn't go farther without the Snob's permission, though... I think."

The demon looked significantly at John. By way of explanation, he said, "Well, the negotiations for a particular item were fairly heated. And he wasn't with Gabriel yet..."

Crowley had almost had to sleep with Belial to get John's soul piece and they had exchanged sigils not long afterward. Even something as simple as signing a contract with the Crown could be an erotic experience. Although imagining John kissing him... Crowley shook his head.

"It really is. And that's without even mentioning Adam."
