"So are you ready to talk?" He growled at the blood saturated lump on the rough ground, he needed this information and it wouldn't do him any good if she died. Dead people didn't give information.
She moaned as she looked up at him, desperation and fear mixed into one expression. He smirked and flexed his claws and considered where he would make his next incision. She would die for her insolence but not before he found out who had ordered his death, "Speak," he growled.
She coughed up blood her fearful eyes watching him, 'Pathetic witch,' he thought as she opened her mouth. "Will it end?" she whispered hoarsely.
An evil grin crossed his lips, "Of course, I have no need to continue if I have what I want."
"I did it all, my master never ordered anything," she said hoarsely.
He smirked, "Pathetic witch, you do your own work. I know Jasrahel will not be happy with you, have a nice eternity."
Her eyes bugged out as she skittered back and screamed as he stepped forward and slashed her throat. His demon had the bloodlust, he could still sense her, Katherine she set his blood on fire. She was dangerous to him, his demon wanted to slice and dice her and bathe in her blood and glorious power for daring to try and control him. He ruthlessly stomped on those thoughts, he would not submit to his more baser urges he knew that Katherine was a major threat to him.
He knew he would need to make a fresh bargain with her, she was a threat to his future a witch as powerful as her could augment her life force for centuries to come, she wasn't a passive white witch or a manipulatable black witch, no matter how strong they were there was always a way in. Katherine was different, she was pure power a rushing torrent barely controlled, she could consume him if she wanted to, she had already had an interest in him.
He had felt her desire spike as she took in his full demonic form, he had to get closer to her it was clear that controlling her was not going to happen but he needed to ensure that she wasn't going to threaten him. This move could be very costly and could end up seriously coming back to haunt him. He needed to bind her to him, make sure that she wouldn't threaten him, he grinned. If she had more of his blood he could forge a connection and make her his, it would add a major boost to his personal power. Then no-one witch or demon could threaten him.
He strode into the room that Katherine had entered his demon form fading as he forced it back, the demon snarled at him furious at being dismissed. It had taken him a great deal of time and effort to master his demon form. He would no longer allow it to dictate its terms to him, he looked down at himself. Blood painted his chest and arms, it would be a spectacle of sorts for her to look at as he saw her behind an old bookcase. Her power was hot as it rushed over him, her eyes glowed as she looked him over. His groin tightened as heat flooded over him.
"We're having a business meeting right now, discussing the plans to have you invest with my company. I had to come up with something to explain the sudden need to leave and that was the most convenient," he said. He needed to give her more of his blood to fully establish the connection he could feel at the back of his mind. He was pretty certain that this was the way that elder demons made their witch servants compliant with their demands. The big difference was that she would try and enslave him just as much.
The tension burned in him for action he needed to do something, the demon's suggestion was the least attractive he didn't feel as if he needed to slice and dice the alluring witch in front of him. That was a hasty response, but if he could get inside of her. He could control her, it was time to put on the charm, without her fancy angel chains to hold him she wouldn't be able to resist him. The positive was that this wasn't just practical it would be a pleasure, he couldn't help but feel attracted to her even with the fledgling connection between them.
Katherine reached out and grasped his bicep, his eyes flared golden as a shock travelled throughout his body tightening his groin further under his loincloth. "I think we can come to an arrangement Demetrius," she grinned and licked her lips as she drew her nails down his arm.
