Mammon pulled me close to him when walking through the castle, until we reached another set of double doors. I rolled my eyes. Why was one door not enough?I realised too late that there were doors that were the exit to outside. I gasped at the feeling of the sun on my face. My head fell back and I took a deep breath of fresh air. The fresh air smelled exactly the same as the human world. The human world, where my friends and family still lived and waited for my return.Maybe it was a good idea to try to escape this world. I was a human in some demonic world. Yesterday, they played tricks on me and I gave an absolutely embarrassing performance to these 'partners' of Adrian. Oh no, I mean King Asmodeus.Around me, it was green. Everything was green and blooming. Something I definitely did not expect from the demon realm. Behind me, the gigantic castle looked black and dominating. Around it, butterflies and bees were flying around, looking for fresh, colourful flowers to snack on. The s
How the hell was I even going to get close to the damn thing? Briva sighed and got behind me. She lined her body with mine and her arm went around me to engulf my hand in hers. She was going to do this with me. I quickly looked around and saw every pair of eyes trained on us. Feeling extremely grateful for Briva's help, I looked at the green field again and let Briva take control.Her breathing picked up.Both hands were around mine and we stood in the same position to fire the arrow from the bow. "Stand still. Train your eyes on the target. Imagine it as someone you want to kill." She whispered in my ear. As someone I want to kill?I tried to concentrate on the blurry target."Good. Now stretch your arm back." Briva said. She pulled my arm back with her own, and the string tightened. With her fingers, she placed the arrow against the bow. "You need to line the point with the target. But feel where the wind goes. Can you tell the direction of the wind?" She whispered again. Her upper
I stormed back to my room with the start of the rain wetting my hair again.He took me away from my home and expected me to listen to everything he had to say. No, not say. He ordered. He demanded. I was a slave for these people. But he was a danger. A demon. A monster. His eyes were pitch black and I didn't have a doubt he would really punish me for a misstep. I didn't want to be the object of his fury."Elle." Guela's voice made me falter in my steps. I just walked past her without even realising. "Hi." Was my short answer. She frowned at me. "You have to get ready. You're serving dinner in an hour. One girl has been called as toy." Guela ordered me. "Excuse me?" I asked her. Surely I heard that wrong. She looked at me weirdly. "Dinner? Is that not a human word?" She asked me. My mouth hung open. I looked at the walls, and then back at her. "I know what dinner is. I don't understand the 'you're serving' part. I'm not a waitress." I clarified to her."You kinda are. You're serving wi
The other men were talking to each other and I heard the occasional sound of a card being played with the words 'fold, raise, check.' When I walked back to Adrian, I glimpsed at their cards. They weren't hiding them from me, so I had an open view. I scanned the game with interest. My eyes roamed the table, where cards and poker chips lay. They were playing Texas Hold'em.If I were a boy by Beyoncé started playing and I held in a smile. I took my place next to Adrian and noticed he had shit cards, compared to the other two I had seen. "Fold." I whispered super softly on a sigh. He froze.But miraculously, he listened when it was his turn. "Fold." He calmly said. They all looked up. "My King, you never fold on the first go." Someone said. Adrian looked at the man and didn't say anything. "My King, forgive me." He said next. Adrian looked away from him. The other four played on and one guy won with high cards. He got all the chips that were in the middle of the table which left Adrian wi
After having one of the longest showers of my life where I scrubbed my body twice, letting some tears fall down my face without wiping them away and body lotioning my whole body, Guela came in to dress me for the journey. Apparently it was a 2 days horse riding journey. No vehicles. Pretty ironic considering I was here partly because of a car.Guela dressed me in a pair of tight riding pants and a spaghetti strap top, with over it a comfortable, short jacket. I put my hair in a bun and tightened my army boots. "Where are we going?" I asked Guela after a time of silence. She glanced at me worriedly a few times but I had no energy to make conversation."The realm of Wrath. Every year, another realm throws an annual event to get together. It's an opportunity for the brothers to discuss everything they need to but also, demons from every realm come to party. It's a party like you have never been to. Our realm is always most present there." Guela explained. I frowned at her but then it daw
When Asta walked forward, the entire mass of people started to follow. Hundreds of people on horses and on foot followed their Kings out from the castle grounds. Dogs appeared in front of us, their noses high in the air and sniffing constantly. Micah rode next to us on his black horse and together, they led the army of people to the realm of Wrath.No words were exchanged for a while and slowly, the tension left my body. I still didn't know where to put my arms and I held them locked against my body for a long while, until they started to get stiff.About half an hour into our journey, I grabbed my book that I put under my jacket earlier and opened the first page. I had seen the movie Pride and Prejudice countless times and the familiar names put a smile to my face. This was the first time I read the book, so I shut the world around me out and started my mental journey."How is your book?" Adrian asked me in a whisper. I jerked up and nearly let the book fall from my hands. I hadn't r
We were walking far out front and I was constantly distracted by everything around me. I was still too hot and at some point I closed the book. "Is Mr. Darcy not satisfying you?" Adrian asked me with a smirk. "Mr. Darcy is satisfying me perfectly fine. I'm just warm." I responded. He grinned and I felt his body push into me more. The action made me hotter. I tried to wiggle away. I felt more lust coming from him. I frowned. Was he doing this to me? "Stop fidgeting." He ordered. "I can't. I'm too hot. Can I walk?" I responded in annoyance. I heard him click his tongue. "No. Get those human instincts under control." He said to me. Human instincts? I was just too warm. A cold shower would have helped me perfectly fine. I let out a breath. Adrian was right behind me and his cool body brought me some comfort. I put my weight into him more, I hoped unnoticed. "Do you know why you're too hot?" Adrian whispered in my ear. I almost let out a moan. He pushed Asta forward and she steadily w
Shit. It felt so good. I didn't want this to end. But I knew I was nearing the end, the waves increasing in pace and strength. "Shit." I whispered. He grinned. The heat in my body increased, and so did his fingers. Adrian's arm around me travelled up, and his hand encircled my neck, pushing it against him. I was seeing stars. The man behind me held me grounded and I felt emotions so strong, I knew they were from the demon realm. It should've been illegal what I felt.A little pressure was placed against my neck and his thumb pressed the clitoris at the same time. This was the best feeling in the entire universe. I exploded. Adrian quickly put his hand in front of my mouth and I screamed into his hand. I tightly shut my eyes. All the sound and vision fell away. Only touch was left, my sensitive skin feeling like absolute bliss. My fingers dug into his leg, pulling it to me more. My mind and body were all over the place. If I was alone with him right now, I would've pulled him off the h
