Chapter 14
Deal With The Devil
I stared at my Kallisto.
"A deal?" she asked, her eyes wary. I smiled and nodded.
"A proposal." She bit her lip.
"What exactly did you have in mind?" she inquired after a bit of thought.
I put my hands on her face and caressed the softness of her skin.
Then I told her my plan.
"I leave you alone during the day, leaving you to do as you please, and I will come for you at night and take you away, bringing you back for morning." She pondered this over for a little while.
"That gives you what you want." I nodded. "What about what I want?" she asked, and I was shocked.
"Well," I said, and grinded my teeth together, thinking. "What do you want?" I asked her lamely. She looked me in the eye.
"I want your word that you will never harm nor go near Velkan." I almost blanched. Not harm or go near Velkan Valerious? My sworn enemy?
"Or Anna," she added as an afterthought. I opened my mouth to openly refuse, but she stopped me with her words.
"If you say no, then you can expect no late night visits." And I snapped my jaw shut. I nodded solemnly.
"Your word," she repeated, and I sighed.
"You have my word that I will never harm nor go near your Prince," I said, seething.
"And?" I groaned.
"And the Princess Anna." Her eyes narrowed.
"How do I know I can trust you?" she asked.
"Because, my Kallisto, I am a man of my word." She smiled.
"You are not a man." I sighed and glared at her. She giggled sweetly, and I bent down to kiss her gently. I pulled away, and she put her fingertips on my lips.
"I also want to be sure that there will be no . . ." she hesitated. She looked at my chest, then back up into my eyes.
"No what, my darling?" I whispered.
"No, well, no biting." I jerked back. She pulled me to her again.
"I want your word that you will not bite me." I opened my mouth, saying that I couldn't give her that, but the look in her eyes said she needed to hear that I wouldn't bite her.
"You have my word, my love, that I will not bite you." She sighed and leaned against me. I wondered what she was thinking.

I can't believe I did this. What am I thinking?
Velkan.
Velkan will be safe.
That's what I was thinking. My beloved Velkan. I leaned my weight against my demon.
"So, we have a deal, then, my love?" he asked, and I lifted my head from his chest. I looked up into his black eyes, then kissed his lips tenderly.
"We have a deal," I said softly into his lips. Then I pushed myself away from him before I sobbed into his chest.
"Now go," I said, and he did. He jumped off the roof, flipping in the air, then sprouting wings and flying away.
I went back to the window, climbing in and shutting the latch. I turned to the bed.
"Kallisto," Velkan said, his eyes wide and angry.
"Velkan," I said, flustered. "I didn't know you were-"
"Kallisto, do you realize what you have just done?" I blinked, speechless. He got up and walked to me.
"You just made a deal with the devil."
