BELLA POV

I awoke to the sounds of a phone ringing and "Bugger, damn it." By the window stood Castiel with a cellphone in his hand which I found hilarious considering you can call the man through pray radio mind waves. Crowley was back! I bit my lip admiring him in another one of his fancy black suits this time with a red tie. He was glaring at his computer obviously pissed about something. An angel and a demon in the same room…

Giggling, I sat up. "Morning you two. Welcome back Crowl."

The glare on his face immediately disappeared as his eyes landed on me. He flashed a sexy smirk at me.

"Morning darling. Did we wake you?"

Castiel walked to the end of my bed. "I apologize if my phone disturbed your rest Bell."

I couldn't help the smile that graced my face. "It's okay Cast. Is it Dean again?"

He sighed while running his hands through his hair. "Yes it was." Suddenly his phone beeped with a voicemail.

"Listen to it Cast it could be important and if it is you will regret not knowing. You still care about him I can tell."

Cast sent me a grateful smile and nod before turning around and walking out on to the balcony to listen to the message. I sincerely hoped it was an apology from Dean. Cast truly seemed hurt when he talked about him yesterday.

"Do I get any life advice as well darling?"

"Well that depends. Do you need it? And why are you glaring at your computer like it bit you."

"Being the king of hell and crossroads means double the work. I've been trying to catch up on picking punishments for all the incoming souls lately. I had what you could call my advisor send the paperwork on my computer but I haven't gotten as much done as I should. My phone is also going off with deals from the crossroads that need approved."

"Don't you have people to help you with that?"

"We are demons Bella. You can't truly trust anyone to help. Besides it's my job. Jobs."

He was willing to help me and yet also trying to stay on top of his responsibilities. I never wanted to get in the way of anything. He's only been kind to me so far. The least I can do is help him as well I thought. So I got up out of bed and walked over to the table where he was.

"What can I do to help?"

"You don't need to do anything."

"I know but I want to. You are going to exhaust yourself Crowl. Let me help please. You are keeping me alive damn it, I want to do something."

I looked up into his eyes to see him examining me. Not sure what he was looking for but his gaze made me nervous. He was so good looking. The light scruff on his face sexy. I bit my lip wondering what he was thinking about until his face went from contemplation to cocky. A smirk that was pure panty melting. Fuck.

"Very well. Then I know what our deal will be darling Bella."

"What do you want from me Crowley?"

Before he could answer however, Castiel stormed back in to the room and sat on the edge of the bed looking both hurt and angry. It made my heart wrench. "One sec Crowl." He nodded to me. I walked over and stood in front of Cast. "What's wrong? What did he say?" I asked while gently squeezing his shoulder.

"Apparently something caused Sam's mind block to crumble. Now he's unconscious. Dean thinks I did it to get them off my trail. I would never do something like that."

"What do you mean mind block?"

"Sam's soul was tortured by Lucifer when he got locked into his cage. Death is a very powerful man; he placed a block to help Sam. Those memories could possibly destroy him."

"And that asshole thinks you did it?" That pissed me off. Castiel was a sweetheart!

I hear Crowley laughing and turn to see him quirking an eyebrow at me. "You just hear about Lucifer, being locked in a cage, a soul being ripped apart. And THAT'S WHAT YOU ASK?"

Huh. Didn't really think about the rest. I just shrug my shoulders. "Eh. My life has been ten kinds of crazy for a while now I guess nothing surprises me anymore. Besides I like learning about it a little at a time. I think all at once would fry my brain." They both chuckle. "Cast give me your phone."

He looked surprised and confused. "Why?"

"Just do it. Phone. Now. Don't make me dig through that trench coat." His mouth fell open but he scrambled to get his phone from his pocket before placing it in my hand. I scroll through till I find Dean's name than press call. It only rings a couple times before a man picks up and starts yelling.

"CASS! WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO TO MY BROTHER? HE'S BEEN UNCONCIOUS SINCE YOU DID SOMETHING TO HIS DAMN HEAD!"

"Firstly you need to shut the fuck up jackass."

"Who the hell are you?"

"Not your damn business. But stop blaming Castiel for all your fucking problems."

"I know he did this."

"Oh and when did this happen?"

"Yesterday afternoon."

"Well Cast didn't do it asshole."

"Oh and how do you know sweetheart."

"Because Castiel was in bed with me ALLLLLLL day yesterday and ALLLLLLL night to baby. So you want to blame someone find the RIGHT person to blame or better yet look in a fucking mirror you bastard. But you will leave Castiel THE FUCK ALONE!" I hang up and drop the phone back in his coat pocket before turning back to the table and taking a seat once again. I look around since its quiet now and notice Cast's eyes are huge and his mouth agape. Crowley is leaning back and laughing his ass off while watching me. I look up at him all innocently. "Sooooo about that deal?" This only causes him to laugh harder and now Cast is joining in. "Was it something I said?"

"Thank you Bell. Nobody has ever defended me like that before." Castiel smiles with a blush. He looks truly grateful.

"That's what friends are for Cast." I send him a wink.

"Are you quite done be a naughty little girl darling?" Crowley asks and winks while turning his computer around to face me.

"For now Crowl." I look up at him biting my lip. I can't help but flirt with him. Hell I didn't even know I could flirt.

"Minx." He chuckles. "Now as for the deal, it's quite simple. I do in fact need help keeping up with my work so in exchange for me helping destroy your enemies and keeping you safe, you will be my personal secretary."

"That actually doesn't seem like much of a deal Crowl. At least not for you."

"On the contrary darling Bella. You will be my secretary till I choose otherwise. Maybe a year. Maybe ten…" He looks at me and smirks. "Maybe a hundred. A thousand."

"Wwwwwhat?... But I don't understand." I'm just a human… I can't live that long!

"Agree to this deal and you will no longer age Bella. You will work for me as long as I choose it. I need someone I trust with me. You know what being betrayed feels like, you won't do it to me. You will technically be immortal however you can still be killed. So the entire time you work for me I will continue to be your bodyguard. Plus feathers over there will always be flying around somewhere as well. I'm sure you would have him as a guard still as well."

"Sooo… I can stay with you both forever? You…. You would want to keep me?" My voice started to crack and my lip quivered slightly. I've tried so hard to keep everything under control but I honestly wasn't expecting this at all. Before I can stop I feel a couple tears slip past and down my face. I quickly look down and away from both of them.

I hear a growl than a door slam that causes me to jump. There's a hand on my shoulder and I look up to see Cast.

"Don't cry Bell. Yes we want to keep you with us always if you will have us as well. I would certainly like to have my friend still decades from now."

"I know Crowl offered it but he seemed so angry a second ago… He might not want to now."

"He is not mad at you; he is mad at the ones that made you feel as though you should doubt such things. It angers me as well. Even now I can hear him outside pacing saying something about stringing up a boy and using him as a decorative lamp." Castiel chuckles.

I quickly clamp my hand over my mouth but I can't stop the giggles. "Thank you Cast. I'll go calm him down." He nods as I stand up and walk out the door. Crowley is leaning up against the wall a few feet away. His hands in fists, teeth clinched. I decide, fuck it. It worked on an Angel maybe it will work on a demon. So I strut right up to him and wrap my arms around his waist. Placing my chin on his chest I look up at him. "Come on boss, you gotta show me what to do."

I can feel the tension leave his muscles and that same cocky smirk takes it's place on his face as he looks down at me.

"Very well Bella darling. Does that mean we have a deal?"

"Yes Crowl. We have a deal." I say blushing.

"Do you know how a deal is sealed when it's made?"

I don't remember anything in the book telling me about that part. "No." I tilt my head to the side curiously.

Crowley pushes himself off the wall and wraps one of his arms around my waist. The other hand grabs me by the chin and tilts my head back. He leans down to where his lips are only an inch from mine. "With a kiss." He growls before placing his lips roughly against mine. This… This was the kind of kiss girls dream about and books describe. The heat alone, the kiss was burning like breathing in the very flames of hell. But it didn't hurt no. He tasted of smoke and whisky. He pulled me tighter against him and I couldn't stop myself from wrapping my legs around his waist. Crowley grabbed onto my thighs, turning to push my back against the bricks of the building. His fingers digging into the flesh on my thighs. When his tongue ran along my lips I opened for him fully. His tongue against mine was sinful. Delectable. I never wanted to stop. He was rough, demanding and I LOVED it. I couldn't of stop the small moan even if I wanted to. And I didn't want to but I think he liked the noises I was making because suddenly a hand was in my hair gripping and tilting it at an angle where he could deepen this kiss even more. I slid one of my hands across his chest while I dug my nails in his scalp with the other causing him to growl and press against me harder. There was no space between us. I could feel his hardness between my legs.

I'm not sure how much time had passed but either way it was over too quickly. He pulled back only slightly and lowered me back down to where my feet were on the ground. My breathing heavy and my face red I'm sure. Still he leaned his forehead against mine and looked me in the eyes. "You belong to me now Bella. You will not age. You will not leave me. EVER." He growls out possessively only turning me on more. "I need you to be the one person in this world that I could trust with my life."

"I'd never hurt you or betray you Crowl. I can't explain it, I just know the idea of either hurts me." And I meant it. I wanted to be someone he knew he could count on.

For the first time I see a genuine and gentle smile come from him before he places a soft kiss on the top of my head.

"I know." He looks me straight in the eyes. "I trust you."

And my heart flutters.
