Paying Your Way
Chapter One
Desperate hands are scrambling at the dirt in the middle of a crossroads in Nevada, the owner of them shaking as she places the box filled with the instructed items in the hole she's managed to dig with her hands. The pain in her fingers is sweet release compared to the pain in her heart, the pain in her mind and in the rest of her body. She waits, tearful and frightened in the cold November night, wind blowing through her long honey-blonde locks. Her bright green eyes are bloodshot and as she shivers in the wind more tears fall down her pale, bruised face.
"God, why the fuck did I believe this bullshit?" She spits, making her way back to her car, only to stop as someone appears in front of her.
"Going somewhere?"
She looks up and meets the eyes of who she assumes is a demon and she steps back slightly, taking in his sexy smirk and his posh looking suit while she realises that his accent is British...From her English classes she reckons the accent is a London one, since one of the subtopics in those classes was accent and dialect during the 'History of Language' topic. How boring is her life if she remembers a piece of her classes like that?
"Adele. Adele Williams." He says with a dark look.
"I'm leaving." She says, going past him only for him to grab her arm.
"Don't you waste my time, girl. What did you want?" He asks, "You've called me for a reason and my time is valuable."
"I just...I think I made a mistake." She replies shakily, "I'm just looking for a way out."
"Deals are my speciality." The demon replies, "The name's Crowley."
"Okay...Crowley..." Adele says softly, "Um...I don't want to go to Hell...But I want to be out of my home...Just somewhere away from that house...My father...He beats me...He beats me badly over the tiniest things..."
Crowley thinks for a moment, and he scans his darkening eyes over Adele's slim body while he steps towards her. He's not seen a girl as gorgeous for years, and he could use some company of the female kind. He'll take her away from her home and since she doesn't want to go to Hell, he has the perfect way he can make her pay him back.
"I'll take you away tonight." He says, "Your price is that you come and live with me...And you pay me back as you do."
Dread fills Adele's system for a moment as she stares at him and considers the options. She either stays to be beaten to death or she leaves with him. She wants to know what the payment will be. No-one will help her and she knows that this could be her last chance of getting away.
"What's the payment?" She asks, eyeing him suspiciously.
"You pay me back with your body." He smiles, as though it's nothing, "That, Hell, or home. Your choice, Adele."
"I don't know..." Adele replies, pleading with him with those big green eyes, "I don't know, I need to think..."
"Going once..."
"Please!"
"Going twice..."
"I'll go with you!"
Adele slaps a hand over her mouth. That's it now. She's done it and there's no going back. With a grin he pulls her hand from her mouth and holds her wrist as he keeps her arm by her side before he slides his spare hand to the back of her head before pulling her into a heated kiss. This is her first kiss ever. Her whole life she's been ignored and neglected by everyone and has never so much as been liked by a boy. She has no friends to leave behind. No people she can actually call family without feeling sick. Crowley is now her life. That scares her but excites her at the same time, and as he slides his tongue into her mouth she feels herself go weak at the knees. She's an eighteen year old virgin with no future, no love and no happiness. Crowley is all she'll have but she'll not be a virgin any more...She'll get sex almost all the time...She'll have the company of someone who wants her. She won't have to work. It doesn't seem so bad.
He breaks the kiss and takes her to her home, showing her that he's not a total evil bastard. He wants her to at least have some of the things she had at home with her at his home. He walks her up the steps and waits on the porch.
"Go and pack a few bags. I can't expect you to come with me and leave some of your treasured possessions behind, can I?" He says with softness that Adele doesn't believe he has in him, "As many bags as you need. It won't be a problem. Hurry up, though. I don't have all night."
"Thank you." Adele whispers, heading up to her room to get some things.
She takes some clothes, her favourite teddies, her comfort toy from being a baby, and the things she needs. Her laptop, phone, her house keys just in case she needs to come back for anything. She takes her money, toiletries, everything she can and her room is practically bare by the time she's done. She takes the bags downstairs and Crowley makes them vanish with a wave of his hand, taking Adele's wrist as they head to his house. Adele stares in awe at the beauty of it and Crowley's first instinct is to smirk.
"I need my first payment." He tells her, taking in the horror in her eyes, "Since you're a complete virgin in every sense of the word, I'll be a gentleman and at least get you used to what you'll be doing over the next many years that you'll be spending with me."
Adele doesn't refuse him. She lets him lead her to the room they'll be sharing for God only knows how long and she looks at the gorgeous room, sitting herself on the bed and looking up at him awkwardly. He leans down and kisses her softly, which is something she doesn't expect, while he takes in the fear in her eyes.
"Take your clothes off. Get comfortable." He orders, "I'll be back in a moment. Let me know when you're ready for me."
He goes into the en suite bathroom and closes the door, leaving Adele sat staring at herself in the mirror. She begins to undress, feeling frightened as she does because she has no idea what to expect. She doesn't want to disobey either. She's suffered the consequences of disobedience before and they aren't pleasant in the slightest. So she finds herself naked, and in a meek, child-like voice, she calls.
"I'm ready."
