Demon King's Contract

 To most it may seem like a beautiful morning. The sun was warm, not too hot and not the kind that burns through the skin. The rays peacefully divided through the window and shone upon the wooden floor. Nothing was out of place. They never were. They stayed at their chosen favourite spots and refused to move no matter how much she tried to shoo them away. Enkeli took a deep breath as she got out of bed, dangling her legs above the floor. With great hesitance, she took a leap with one foot far across the other and ran to the bathroom, trying her best to avoid the negative curse under her bed. The bathroom door creaked open and she freshened up, taking a quick shower with her eyes closed- she brushed her teeth, combed her hair and changed into a white T shirt and black skinny jeans. “Today is the day.” She whispered excitedly, still covering

Chapter 3Her whole demeanor changed as her eyes started sparkling with hope. “You really mean it?”“Not really. It’s just a ploy for me to get close to you and then I can suck out your soul.”Enkeli’s heart sank and started beating faster. He sounded serious.‘This was a mistake. All I wanted was to improve my quality of life but now I’m going to get killed instead!’She backed away slowly, hoping she couldn’t hear her heart as much as she could hear it against her head. Her mouth ran dry and she was fully prepared to make a dash for it. ‘Who am I kidding? There’s no way I can outrun a demon!’“Pfft hahaa, I got you there didn’t I. It was a joke.&

Enkeli was taken aback by the amount of passion he put into the kiss. His hands snaked around her waist and squeezed it. One of his hands travelled underneath her top and rested on her back. That was what pushed her over the edge. Though Enkeli might be a master at seducing, when it came to the real thing she was a bit inexperienced.  Moreover, there was one thing she had known for a while but had wanted to hide it from others. Her back was extremely sensitive. She shivered uncontrollably which resulted in Shedim pulling back from the kiss with a smirk. He had never expected to find her weak spot so quickly.“W..wh.. I- I’m sure th..the case doesn’t require kissing for so long.” She muttered incoherently as she immediately got up from his lap and backed away. Shedim could feel the resistance in his hands, wanting to pull her back close again. She was petite and her waist seemed to fit with his arms quite nicely.“The

“What’s with you today? It’s unlike you to be so distracted.” Lev squints his eyes at her, as if hoping to extract some type of difference. The class had just ended and the three of them were planning on walking home together. It just so happened to be that all three of their houses were in the same direction, though Kira’s came first, then Lev and finally Enkeli.“hahah I was just feeling a little tired today.” She scratched the back of her head in a coy manner.“On the contrary, you seem more energetic.” Kira noticed.‘Damnit Kira, why do you have to be so goddamn observant all the time.’ Seeing how Enkeli didn’t reply to her, Kira wondered if she had picked on something she shouldn’t have.“There’s a new marvel movie

The next morning , Enkeli woke up unusually on time. Unless she had something to do, like the summoning ritual from yesterday, she often woke up late and reached class just in the nick of time. The school was quite strict concerning punctuality, if the students were late even by a few minutes, then they would have to wait to attend the next class. She went to the bathroom and stripped down to take a shower.No new bruises. She smiled. The continuous exhaustion had also started to fade and she felt more energetic than she normally would. The leeches were taking a huge toll on her, far more than she would have liked to admit. Her finger tapped on the only new bruise at her neck and she saw her skin flush red. "Is this what he sees when I blush" She closed her eyes with a groan and walked into the running shower. She took her time, rubbing on some shower gel after soap and then washing her hair thoroughly. She wanted to enjoy this peace.Normally, she would take quick showers and that t
