I sigh as I feel my climax slip just out of reach again while my vibrator dies. Fucking great. I've been frustrated all week thanks to the relentless flirting with my client. I had thought it might go somewhere this time, until, of course, his
wife
called him. Fucking asshole.
Now, here I am on a Thursday night, desperately needing release and not being able to get there on my own.
"At this point, I think I would make a deal with the devil for a goddamned orgasm," I mutter. I glumly sit up as I accept defeat, intending to clean up and go to bed.
"The devil is very intrigued by this offer." I startle, too stunned to even make noise as I see what looks to be the most beautiful man that has ever existed. He's leaning against the doorframe watching me with coal red eyes.
Unfortunately, my flight or fight instinct is severely broken, and instead lends itself to the often unhelpful option of freeze. So, while a drop-dead gorgeous man is staring at my naked body, holding a bright pink vibrator, all I can do is stare back at him, mouth agape. His dark hair is short and neatly combed. The suit he's wearing looks expensive and pristine over his lean form. He could have just walked off the pages of a fashion magazine.
"I see I've startled you sweetheart, why don't you tell me what exactly you'd like to bargain for?" His eyebrow lifts in question. I realize that whoever this intruder is must have heard what I'd said, and he must have been in my apartment long enough to hear me masturbating. Embarrassment and anger are what finally push movement back into my body.
"Who the fuck are you? Get out of my house before I call the police!" I screech, pulling at a blanket to wrap around myself as I stand up. I may not have an escape, but standing brings a small bit of comfort compared to sitting on my bed.
"Well, I would assume it was quite obvious, I'm the devil. Well, one of them at least," He grins and shrugs.
"Look, I don't have anything worth stealing, and if you leave right now, I won't report you. You don't have to do this," Despite the bravado I'm trying to inject my words with, my voice wobbles at the end. I mean, realistically, what man breaks into a woman's home, finds her naked, and doesn't take whatever he wants?
The man sighs and takes a step forward, his hands tucked into his pockets, "If you truly wish me to leave, I will, we have no bargain. But, if you did wish to bargain, just mention deals with devils again, I'll be listening for that sweet voice of yours," With a parting wink, he's gone.
I blink at the empty space. Then I blink again. I look around the room. I pinch my arm. I pinch my arm harder and wince. I walk out of my bedroom and look at the rest of my small apartment and notice that nothing is out of place. I return to my room and find it exactly as it should be, other than the single red rose that is laying on my pillow.
I reach out to grab it, hesitate, then finally pick it up. The scent fills my nose as I inspect it.
What.
The.
Fuck.
Did I really just meet the devil? Or
A
devil, as he had said? If that's true, how many devils are there? Is there a God? A Lucifer? Maybe I have just gone insane.
Well, only one way to find any answers.
"I would like to make a deal with the devil," I whisper before I can think better of it.
