Chapter 10
Interlude
Did you miss me? I bet you did. You’ve been thinking about me ever since the story started, wondering if I would return. Hoping I’d interrupt for a little one-on-one chat.
You see, I understand your desire better than most. Probably because I’m a demon, and demons are pure want. But not in the mortal sense. We don’t sit around wondering if we’ll get what we want. For us, it’s only a question of when.
And oh, I’ve been patient. So, so patient.
What’s that? You want to know exactly what I’ve been waiting for? If you say please, maybe you’ll get your wish. Go on. Say it. Right into the pages. I can wait.
Mm. What a bad little girl you are, conspiring with a demon. When you bite your lip, it’s hard to say no, but I think I’ll let you squirm a little longer. You look good like that.
What I will divulge is my realm of specialty: sex and disease. You’re giggling at that, are you? Pretending those things don’t cross your mind? Or maybe you’re intrigued. Either way, it won’t surprise you to learn that mortals are always begging for my help.
Want your good-for-nothing boss to itch and ooze for weeks? Bring me an offering. I love a good goat. Need revenge on a cheating husband? I’ll turn his manhood into a rotting stump and make sure he lives long enough to understand exactly why I did it.
Look at you, giggling again. You’re even thinking of a request. Someone you want to geld. Aren’t you? Fuck, I love that. I bet if you’re honest with yourself, you’re already kinda into me and the work I do. Easy now. I’m not here to get you wet, so don’t get your knickers in a twist.
I’m here for my own reasons. Reasons that I’ll be keeping to myself.
I hate to run off and leave you unfinished with such a juicy story dangling, but don’t worry, we’ll meet again. And when we do, blow me a kiss to let me know you remembered our little chat.
Oh, there’s one last thing before I go. It’s a request. Just a little thing. Don’t tell Bastien you heard from me. Okay? Let’s keep that our little secret.
