Hello Everyone! :D It's been a while since I last updated, but here is the next chapter! Thanks to everyone for reviewing and for reading. Especially to Heze-chan and Shiori Mizuki for their super helpful reviews, which always make me go back and better the chapters they review. It really helps be improve, so thanks so much. :) And I hope everyone enjoys this next chapter.
Me: Hey Claude! Welcome to the story! Please try to refrain from touching Corinna, Sebastian doesn't like it very much.
Claude: I apologize, my lady. But you are the writer, you control what I do.
Me: Oh, that's right. Well carry on!
Claude: Lady Faine does not Kuroshitsuji or any of its characters.
Me: Although I wish I owned Sebastian. He could follow me around all day and carry my things! :) That'd be awesome. Anyways, on with the story!
Corinna slowly opened her eyes. She had a splitting headache that made her feel sick to her stomach. She waited as her eyes slowly came into focus, and she gazed curiously at the velvet canopy above her head. It was a royal blue and completely unfamiliar, causing panic to well up inside Corinna's throat like bile. She shot up, instantly regretting it and it took her a few moments to stop her head from pounding. She slowly looked around at the unfamiliar room and all its fancy blue furnishings.
"Where-?" Corinna whispered.
"You are at the Trancy mansion." A voice said. "Good morning Miss Phantomhive."
Corinna stared at the butler next to the bed. When the heck did he get there? "Um, good morning…" Corinna said slowly. She bit her lip and watched the demon warily. "Why am I here?" She asked him.
"I'm afraid that after last night's events you passed out." Claude replied.
"Oh," Corinna responded, and suddenly everything came flooding back to her. Sebastian is alive. She told herself. Her fists clenched in the ball gown she was still wearing. Why did he leave...?
Her heart clenched and she gasped. She placed her hand on her chest and took a deep breath. Sebastian...I love you so much...
"Breakfast is ready, Miss Phantomhive, if you are hungry," Claude said, watching her intently with his slanted, yellow eyes.
"No thank you. I really must be going. My children must be worried sick," Corinna said and stood slowly.
"What are they like?" Claude asked suddenly.
Corinna turned to look at Claude. "What?"
Claude moved closer to her. "Your children are half demon and half human. What are they like? Do they have demon-like qualities?"
Corinna frowned uncomfortably at the demon and took a step back. "I don't know. I really must go," She said and rushed from the room.
She hurried down the endless hall, hoping that Claude wouldn't follow, and eventually found her way to the grand staircase. She lifted her rumpled skirts and hurried down, her shoes echoing in the empty hall. She cast a quick glance behind her to make sure she wasn't being followed, and then stepped down the last few stairs and onto the marble floors.
She rushed across the last breadth of floor until she reached the large front door, which she struggled to push open before stepping out into the sunshine. The sun temporarily blinded her and she stood there dumbly for a few seconds, trying to blink the tears from her eyes.
When she finally regained her sight, she peered at the carriage that sat in front of the house. Her carriage, and Claude was standing in front of it.
The sneaky demon… Corinna thought and stepped forward. She raised her chin a little and marched passed the demon, ignoring him as she climbed into her carriage.
Claude caught her hand. "I hope you can return soon," He said, his bored yellow eyes boring into her.
Corinna didn't bother looking at him. She just yanked her hand away and recoiled into the safety of her coach. She hugged herself tightly as the carriage lurched forward and set off down the path.
Corinna hadn't realized that she'd fallen asleep until her footman woke her. She sat up slowly and looked at him.
"Miss, we're here," He said.
Corinna nodded. "Yes, thank you Harmon," She mumbled and waved him away before clambering out of the carriage with as much grace of a new born cow. She fell heavily into the dirt and anger filled her, coursing through her veins like a poison. She pounded the ground with her fists and struggled to her feet. She felt like screaming and cursing Sebastian for the rest of his damned eternal life. How dare he let her believe he was dead. She had grieved for nothing and felt helpless for no reason. She had been in so much pain. She couldn't even count the number of nights she had spent in his bedroom, wearing his clothes and crying on his bedroom floor or in his bed, smelling his scent in his silk sheets.
Corinna growled slightly as she stomped up the steps and threw the front doors open. She felt betrayed an hurt all over again. She wiped furiously at her eyes. She would not cry over this, it was useless and she wasn't going to shed another tear over a man who clearly didn't care very much for her feelings.
"Corinna! You're back! Wha-?" Anne stopped on the stairs and glanced curiously at Corinna's tousled hair and her dirtied and rumbled dress. She raised an eyebrow. "Did you…?"
"No I didn't Anne. And I really don't want to talk about last night because I might strangle someone. I just want a nice cup of tea and a good nap," Corinna replied tersely as she moved to the stairs.
A knock sounded behind her and she turned to eye the door distastefully.
"I'll get it," Anne said and hurried for the door. She opened it slowly and gasped, causing Corinna to stop dead in her tracks. And then Sebastian began talking in his smooth voice, and Corinna hated herself for the things his voice did to her heart. She whirled around with all the fury and grief she'd felt the past two years filling her entire body. She marched over to the door and snarled at Sebastian.
"Get the bloody hell away from my house!" She hissed.
"I'm not asking you to understand why I did what I did, Corinna, but please listen to what I have to say," Sebastian said.
"It's Miss Phantomhive." Corinna stated.
Sebastian gave a slight nod. "Miss Phantomhive. Will you please let me speak to you?"
"Mama! Mama!" Voices cried and Corinna's heart squeezed itself. No, not now. Please don't come over here. She thought desperately but she suddenly felt small chubby arms hugging her legs.
"Who's he?" Nicco asked as he peered around Corinna's skirts.
Nevaeh silently pulled away from Corinna and walked over to Sebastian. She stopped in front of him and peered up at him with her red eyes. She reached up a small hand and tugged at his pants.
"Mister?" She asked in her melodic voice.
Sebastian glanced down at her, trying to contain all his emotions. His daughter was speaking to him, looking at him, and she didn't even know who he was. Grief crushed down on him like a weight and he had to kneel down to keep from collapsing to the ground. He had missed two entire years of his childrens' lives and he had hurt the woman he loved. How did he even live with himself anymore? Because I had to do it for her; I had to stay away from her to save her life.
"Do I know you?" Nevaeh asked, reaching out a tentative hand to touch his cheek.
Sebastian braced himself for the soft touch of her hand and he watched her silently as she traced the lines of his features. "Are you like me?" She asked.
Sebastian nodded slightly. "I am very much like you."
Nevaeh smiled and turned to grab her brother's hand. She pulled him over to Sebastian. "He's like us too."
"I'm Nicco," The small boy said, watching Sebastian with curiosity.
"And I'm Nevaeh!" She grinned.
Sebastian nodded. "My name is Sebastian Michaelis. I am the new butler of the Phantomhive household."
Corinna watched them silently. They're finally with their father and they don't even know it... She wanted nothing more at that moment than to snuggle up next to Sebastian and read a bedtime story to Nicco and Nevaeh. She suddenly saw them all in the garden, with Nicco and Nevaeh playing among the flowers and her and Sebastian sitting on a stone bench nearby, hand in hand and watching their children laugh and play.
"Nicco, Nevaeh, there's something you should know..." Corinna paused when Nevaeh laughed.
"Mama, can we please keep him!" Nevaeh cried.
Corinna glanced uncertainly at Sebastian. "I'm not sure, darling."
"He can't stay here, Nevaeh," Anne said glaring at Sebastian.
"But Mama, doesn't he remind you of Papa? Isn't he how you described him?" Nicco asked.
Corinna stiffened. "Nicco, Nevaeh, please come inside and go upstairs."
"You can marry him Mama! And he can be our new Papa!" Nevaeh cried happily.
"Nevaeh. You do not need a new Papa. Your mother is perfectly fine raising the both of you without a man in her life," Anne said.
"May I please speak to you Miss Phantomhive?" Sebastian asked, standing.
Corinna looked up at him. "I-" She ran a shaky hand through her tangled locks. Being in front of him now had completely weakened her angry resolve. She wanted him to just take her into his arms and tell her everything was going to be alright.
"Come with me to my study," Corinna said and walked off at a brisk pace.
"Come on children, let's go to your play room," Anne said as she led the children away.
Corinna walked briskly down the hall and pushed open the door to her study, moving aside to let Sebastian in and then quickly closing it behind him. "Alright, speak," Corinna said as she sat in the large chair at the desk and rubbed her temples.
"Your brother is alive," Sebastian said.
Anger roared up in Corinna again as she remembered last night's events. "Is he? Because last I saw him, he was looking as limp as a rag doll, in a traveling trunk." She snapped.
"His soul was taken, oujo-sama, and it took me a while to locate it. But he woke this morning and he doesn't remember anything. He only recalls what happened several months or so before you arrived here at the mansion."
Corinna's eyes snapped open and she stared at him. "He doesn't remember me coming back? He doesn't remember his niece and nephew or anything at all that happened after I returned?" Corinna asked, frightened.
"No, I'm afraid not, my lady."
Corinna took a deep breath and Sebastian watched her silently. She was looking at him with clouded eyes, filled with sadness and grief. There was a frown creasing her pretty face and Sebastian had the urge to move over to her, crush her against his chest and smooth away the unbecoming lines from her face. Her slender fingers tapped nervously against her bottom lip and Sebastian wanted to take her hand and kiss every one of her jittery fingers. He looked away from her painfully, unable to cope with the fact that he'd caused this sadness in her. He hadn't realized confronting her again after two whole years of watching her from afar, would be so difficult.
"And you want me to leave? Am I correct?" Corinna asked bitterly.
"No, my lady. I simply am asking that you and the others here don't mention anything that happened." Sebastian replied.
"And why not?"
"He won't remember, Miss. It may upset him."
Corinna stared at him. She could tell he was keeping something from her; but what? "And Nicco and Nevaeh? They call me Mama, I can't just ask them to stop," Corinna stated.
"Tell him they are your children, but don't mention who is the father." Sebastian said.
Corinna looked away from him and stood slowly. "I suppose we have to come up with a good story. It's been two years, everyone will know that something is wrong."
"I have already told everyone that he is close to, that he has lost his memory and that he was in a hospital in France with amnesia. I have also managed to convince him that he fell and hit his head, resulting in him being comatose for quite a while."
"And that will explain to him why he's missed three years. And will I just tell him that I came back while he was asleep? What if he asks who the father of Nicco and Nevaeh are? Ciel isn't stupid, Sebastian. He will figure it out within a few days. I mean Nevaeh looks just like you," Corinna said, glancing at him.
"If he asks, you may tell him the truth. And tell him that while he was injured, I comforted you and consoled you, which led to other things." Sebastian smirked slightly at her.
Corinna turned away. She didn't want to see that smirk she had grown to love so much. "Fine. I'll inform everyone else about this. When will he be coming back here?"
"Tonight, if it's alright with you, my lady," Sebastian answered.
Corinna nodded. "That's fine. Now go."
Sebastian bowed his head to her and forced himself to leave the room. If he had been in that room any longer with her, who knows what might have happened. And that would have been very bad for his plans of winning her back. She didn't trust him, and she had every right to, that's why he had to win her back slowly and make her trust him again.
Corinna paced back and forth in the study. Being in a small, confining room with Sebastian had been torture. She felt like she had been suffocating the entire time and it had drained her entirely. She couldn't wait to go to sleep, but she wanted to be there when Ciel came back. She had already spoken to all the servants, and there had been a lot of tears, except on Corinna's part. She refused to cry anymore, as she felt like she had already shed too many over this whole ordeal.
Corinna glanced out the window. Darkness was just beginning to fall and she knew it was only a matter of time before Ciel arrived. She quietly smoothed out her skirts, grateful that she had been able to bathe and change her clothes before her brother arrived.
"Can I come in?" Anne's voice asked from the other side of the closed door.
"Yes, you may." Corinna answered.
Anne opened the wooden door and stepped inside. "There's a carriage coming up the drive. Are you sure you're ready for this?"
Corinna nodded. "I'm not sure if anyone would be able to be ready to meet their sibling after you believed them dead, but I'm as ready as I'll ever be."
Anne smiled slightly and offered her arm to Corinna, who gladly took it. They silently headed out into the hall in a rustle of skirts and made their way down the corridor.
"I suppose that you'll be very believable, since you really haven't seen him in years," Anne said as they walked down the hall, arm in arm.
"Do you think he'll be able to get his memories back?" Corinna asked.
Anne shrugged. "I certainly hope so," She answered as they stepped down the stairs and joined the group of people waiting for Ciel in the entrance hall.
The room grew thick with silence and anticipation as they waited for the door to open. It seemed as everyone in the room was holding their breath as Sebastian opened the large doors and Ciel walked in.
"What-?" Ciel asked as he glanced at the group of people smiling at him and watching him with tear-filled eyes.
"Welcome home Ciel!" Everyone cried at once and Ciel just stared at them in surprise. His blue eye swept over everyone silently, and then his gaze suddenly snapped back to Corinna. He took a slight step backwards in shock. "Corinna?"
Corinna smiled sadly at him. "Hello Ciel."
"But you're-" Ciel stuttered.
"Dead?" Corinna asked sadly. "I was beginning to think that about you too." Corinna quickly rushed over to him, unable to hold back any longer, and swept him into a hug. She held him tightly to her chest and Ciel was too shocked at first to respond, but he quickly loosened up and enjoyed her embrace.
"I thought I lost you forever this time, Ciel. Don't ever worry me like that again," She cried.
Ciel felt her warm tears in his hair and he pulled away, quickly replacing the scowl that was usually plastered across his features. "Where have you been all this time?" He asked her.
"I was recovering. I was found, nearly dead by my friend, Agni, and he nursed me back to health. And when I came back here, you were gone and Sebastian told me about your nasty fall," Corinna lied. She had spent all afternoon creating that story, and she silently hoped that he'd believe it.
"Who's Agni?" Ciel asked.
"I am, my lord," Agni answered, stepping forward and bowing to Ciel.
Soma suddenly rushed forward and grabbed Ciel. "Ciel!" He cried, tears running down his cheeks.
Corinna smiled awkwardly and roughly pulled Soma away from her brother. "I'm so sorry. Agni is Soma's servant, he helped nurse me back to health too, and he happens to be a big fan the candy company. He was very worried when he heard of your ill health and he's just relieved to see that you're okay," Corinna said.
Ciel eyed Soma with a frown. "Why is he here?"
"Soma and Agni have become very close friends of mine and I couldn't bear to be in this big house all alone, so I brought them with me. I hope you don't mind," Corinna said.
Ciel placed his hand against his head with a sigh. "As long as he doesn't get in my way and stays away from me, I don't care."
Corinna breathed in a sigh of relief and smiled at her brother. "Thank you Ciel."
"Mama! Mama! Look what we found!" Nicco cried as he ran into the hall, followed by Nevaeh.
Corinna stiffened. She had asked them to stay in their rooms. They can't meet Ciel yet! She screamed in her head.
"Mama?" Ciel asked with a frown.
Nicco ran up to Corinna and held a small kitten up to her. "Look Mama, it's cute." Nicco smiled.
Corinna looked at the small kitten and it mewled at her. "Where did you get that, honey?" She asked.
"In the garden. Can we keep it?" Nevaeh asked.
"I thought I told you two to stay in your rooms?" Corinna asked gently.
"We got bored," Nevaeh stated.
"It was her idea!" Nicco cried, pointing a finger at his sister. "I told her we had to stay in the room, Mama, but she wouldn't listen to me."
"It's alright sweetie." Corinna responded.
Ciel began sneezing violently. "Get rid of it!"
"I'll take care of it, my lord," Sebastian said and gently took the cat from Nicco's arms and took it outside.
"Who are they?" Ciel asked with a touch of anger in his voice.
"This is Nevaeh, and this is Nicco," Corinna answered slowly. "Nicco, Nevaeh, I'd like you to meet your uncle…Ciel."
"Uncle?" Ciel asked, glaring at Corinna.
Corinna pulled both children close to her sides. "Yes, they are my children. They were born while you were in the hospital."
"Is he your brother Mama?" Nevaeh asked and squirmed away from Corinna. She stood in front of Ciel and peered up at him with her red eyes. "He looks like you and Nicco!" She smiled at Corinna over her shoulder and then turned back to Ciel. She grinned at him "Would you like to play dolls with me?" She asked.
Ciel shook his head. "I don't have times to play games," He said and looked back at her. His eye widened as his blue eyes met her red ones and he sucked in a breath in shock. He glanced up at the butler beside him and then at Corinna. Corinna looked away from Ciel's furious gaze, bracing herself for the argument to come.
"Who is the father, Corinna?" He asked angrily.
"Ciel, can we please talk about this is private?" Corinna asked quietly.
"If you're foolish enough to do something like this, then everyone deserves to know." Ciel snapped.
"It's not that everyone doesn't know, Ciel. Do you think that I'd be able to hide something so obvious? They're the ones who don't know." Corinna hissed and glanced down at Nicco and Nevaeh. "And you don't have to blow things out of proportion."
"You had children out of wedlock Corinna! I'm not blowing things out of proportion. I thought you were smarter than this."
"I was married when they were born, and that's enough for me!" Corinna cried and immediately realizing her mistake, she covered her mouth.
Ciel's grip on his cane tightened. "Married? You married my butler? You idiot! Do you realize how far beneath your social standing Sebastian is? I can only imagine the field day that society had with that!"
Corinna bit her lip. I blew it! Now what do I say? She thought in horror. "I love Sebastian, and when I discovered that I was expecting, I knew I had to get married to prevent a scandal," Corinna said slowly.
"Prevent scandal? This is a scandal! And you married him after you got pregnant? Have you become some sort of lowly whore? I cannot believe you would have sexual relations before marriage, Corinna! You're too young to be in love. You're just a child, you don't know anything about it!"
"I'm older than you Ciel! And I know plenty about love." Corinna growled.
"Well you're an even bigger fool than I thought you were, if you think that he-" Ciel was cut off as Sebastian quickly closed the space between him and Corinna and pulled her into his arms, claiming her lips in a hard, desperate kiss.
Ciel glared angrily at them. "That's enough!" He cried.
Anne's eyes widened and she quickly turned, ushering everyone from the room. "This is a family dispute, we should leave," She said, knowing things were going to get ugly.
"What's going on Anne?" Nicco asked, worried.
"Sebastian is our Papa, dummy," Nevaeh replied.
"But I thought he was dead," Nicco said. He looked at Nevaeh with a pout. "And I'm not a dummy."
"Are too."
"Am not."
"Are too."
"Am-"
"Your mother thought he was dead too. He was gone for two years with no word at all." Anne replied. "Now come on, let's go play in the nursery." She said and led them from the hall.
Sebastian pulled away slowly from Corinna. He turned to bow to Ciel. "My apologies, my lord, but I simply wanted to demonstrate that I do love your sister, and I promise to take the best care of her."
"You're a demon, how can you have feelings?" Ciel asked.
"I assure you my lord, demons are very capable of feeling. We just don't display them very often," Sebastian replied. Sebastian reached out to take Corinna's hand.
"Sebastian…" Corinna said softly with a pained expression.
"Corinna, have you failed to mention to your husband that you are engaged?" Ciel asked irritably.
"Jasper was killed two years ago," Corinna said.
"He was killed? How?" Ciel asked in surprise.
"He was robbed and shot to death," Corinna stated slowly.
"You don't sound very upset about it."
"I've had two years to get over his death." Corinna responded.
"You at least spoke to Jasper before he died?" Ciel asked, watching Corinna.
"We were married for a while before he died. When I returned here, I contacted him and we quickly picked up where we left off." Corinna answered.
"So you had an affair with Sebastian while you were married to Jasper?" Ciel snapped.
The color drained from Corinna's face, realizing that she was revealing way too much. "No." She mumbled.
"A pregnancy is nine months long, and Nicco and Nevaeh are two years old, that means that you had became pregnant while you were still married to Jasper." Ciel stated.
"I was only married to Jasper for a few months before he was unfortunately taken from me," Corinna said. "And Sebastian consoled me after his death, which ultimately led to Nicco and Nevaeh being born."
"You didn't even wait a whole year before you were married again?" Ciel asked angrily. "I can't even begin to imagine the state of our social standings right now."
"I'm going to go to my room," Corinna said, suddenly feeling drained, and she turned to go, pulling her hand away from Sebastian's. Sebastian's hand quickly shot out and grabbed hers again.
He searched her face silently, and Corinna looked away. His read eyes see too much. Corinna thought.
"I will meet you there soon," He said.
Corinna's eyes snapped up to look at his. She nodded slightly and turned to go upstairs.
"Who's been running the companies while I was away?" Ciel asked as he watched Corinna's figure move up the stairs.
"Corinna has, my lord. And the companies have been earning twice as much as they use to." Sebastian replied.
"Tch. She's been baking for the workers hasn't she?" Ciel asked.
"At least twice a week," Sebastian replied.
"She's going to make them all fat."
"They seem to love her, my lord."
Ciel stood next to Sebastian in Silence until he was sure that Corinna was well out of ear shot. "I want proof that your marriage to her is real. I know those children are yours and the two of you better be properly married to prevent too much of a scandal." Ciel stated. "I'm tired, take me to my rooms."
"Yes, my lord," Sebastian said, and led Ciel upstairs.
Corinna sat on her bed, biting her lip in worry.
"What am I going to do Anne? I've gotten myself into a terrible mess." She hit her head with her palm. "I talk too much! I'm such an idiot!"
"Marrying Sebastian is the only solution to your problem that I can see." Anne replied. "And that kiss shouldn't make the task too hard for you. It looked like a good thorough kissing to me." She smiled.
Corinna glared at Anne. "That just makes it worse," She said and fell over onto her side. "He just kissed me to make my story credible. It wasn't real."
"And how do you know that? Maybe he really meant it," Anne said.
Corinna sighed. "I doubt it. I mean he was gone for two whole years and for the life of me, I can't think of one good reason as to why he'd leave."
Anne nodded in agreement. "And the fact that he won't tell you why doesn't help much."
"Maybe I'm just thinking too much. I-" Corinna paused and glanced at the door. "Come in," She called to whoever was knocking.
Finny opened the door slightly. "Miss, someone is here to see you."
Corinna gave him a puzzled look and sat up. "What? Who?"
Finny shrugged his shoulders. "Didn't say his name, he just told me that he needed to see you."
Corinna pushed herself up off the bed with a groan and straightened herself out. "Alright, let him in."
Finny nodded and ducked his head out the door. A few minutes ticked past and Finny reappeared, followed by Claude.
Corinna glanced up and frowned at him. "What are you doing here?"
Finny glanced at Claude. "Want me to make him leave?" He asked.
Corinna shook her head. "No it's fine. You can go now Finny, thank you."
Finny smiled at her and then disappeared.
Anne glanced at Claude and raised an eyebrow. "Another demon butler?" She mouthed to Corinna behind Claude's back.
Corinna twitched her head in a nod before glancing back at Claude. "What do you want?"
"To see you." Claude replied.
Anne stood quickly and moved towards the door. "I think I'll go now."
"Wait, Anne don't leave," Corinna said hurriedly.
Anne just grinned and stepped out the door before closing it firmly behind her.
Claude moved a little closer to Corinna. "Afraid to be alone with me?" He asked.
"No one in their right mind would want to be alone with you, Mr. Faustus," Corinna replied, backing up a few spaces.
"And why is that?" Claude asked, inching closer.
Corinna gulped and suddenly felt the back of her knees hit her bed. Her heart hammered in her chest and she tried to calm it by taking a deep breath. "You're very…um…" Corinna mumbled and stumbled backwards onto her bed. She blinked and suddenly Claude's hand was gripping her wrists, holding them above her head.
"Yes, my lady?" Claude prompted.
"You-" Corinna licked her lips and stared up at Claude. "What are you…doing?" She asked slowly as he lowered his head to lick her neck, causing Corinna to shiver.
"I want to devour you," Claude whispered in her ear.
"I doubt that you'd even get a chance to taste her Claude, since I plan to eat her first."
Claude glanced up to see Asmodeus standing on the other side of the bed. "I arrived first," Claude replied calmly, his eyes glowing.
"I'd advise you to listen to your superiors, Claude Faustus. Now, hand over the human," Asmodeus growled. "She's mine."
Claude slanted his mouth over Corinna's and gave her a possessive kiss. "I've claimed her now."
Corinna gasped and glared at Claude. "Not. Fair," She said through clenched teeth. "Whatever power you're using to seduce me right now, turn it off." She growled.
Claude glanced down at her with a bored expression.
There was a small knock at the door, and everyone paused as Sebastian walked in. Asmodeus took the opportunity to snatch Corinna out from beneath Claude and held her close to his body across the room.
Sebastian glanced at Claude and then his father. "What is going on?" He growled.
"Claude and I were disputing who this beautiful human belongs to now that you've discarded her." Asmodeus replied, nipping at Corinna's earlobe.
"I never discarded her. She still belongs to me," Sebastian stated.
"Is that so? I believe I am the only one in this room who isn't contracted with another human." Asmodeus bent Corinna over the bed, giving her bottom a good thrust and making Corinna squirm. Both Sebastian and Claude growled, and the temperature in the room dropped significantly.
"What do you say, Corinna? I can give you anything you want. All you have to do is tell me, and we can make a contract." Asmodeus whispered into her ear.
"There's nothing you could offer that she would want," Sebastian said, his eyes glowing in anger.
"How about the pleasure of sharing my bed? I could make you feel such exquisite pleasure that even the most experienced whore would blush at the details." Asmodeus whispered invitingly. He gave her another thrust and Corinna gasped, trying to wriggle free from underneath him.
"Let me go," She spat, trying to pull away from Asmodeus so she wouldn't have to feel the large bulge that was pressing against her leg. She could feel him through the fabric of her dress, and she felt like murdering him for the way he was treating her.
"That doesn't interest you? Well then how about revenge for anything that your little heart desires?" Asmodeus paused.
"Not interested." Corinna growled.
Sebastian took a step closer and Asmodeus glared up at him. "Would you like her to die? If so, by all means, step closer. But if you care for her to remain alive then I suggest the both of you stay where you are." Asmodeus threatened.
"Let me go you son of a bitch!" Corinna cried, kicking and trying to wrench her wrists free from Asmodeus' hands.
Asmodeus chuckled darkly and pinned her legs against the bed with his own. "I wasn't aware that you were capable of such foul language. It's quite…arousing."
"I don't give a bloody damn! Just let me go you sick bastard!" Corinna snarled.
"I can save your brother," Asmodeus said into her ear.
Corinna stopped stock still. "Can you do that?" She asked breathless.
"Yes, all you have to do is say the word and I will save your brother from Sebastian," Asmodeus said.
"There is no way he can save your brother," Sebastian said. "Not unless he kills me."
"You'd kill Sebastian?" Corinna asked in horror.
"No. There are other ways to break a contract between another demon and his human. Ways that could let you have both Ciel and Sebastian, forever." Asmodeus purred. "Isn't that what you want?"
Corinna licked her lips and glanced up at Sebastian, who was silently pleading her not to.
Sebastian thinks I shouldn't…
Why should you care what he wants? He left you, he doesn't care about you…
I love him…
"You'll eat my soul, won't you?" Corinna asked.
"If I turn you into a demon, you'll live. Even without a soul. Would you like to be a demon, Corinna?" Asmodeus asked.
"Father, no." Sebastian growled.
Corinna glanced at Sebastian and then she looked over her shoulder at Asmodeus. "I…"
*Evil laugh* That was an awesome cliff hanger. I love leaving you guys hanging. :) What do you guys think she'll say? I'll update soon, because I know I can't just leave you guys wondering what's going to happen. Please review and until the next chapter everyone!
