Chapter Four

“I think it’s time you leveled with me,” Asmodeus said.

Selina watched him over the table. They were eating from a bowl of fresh cherries. She couldn’t bring herself to cook, but needed some food to settle her stomach. Recent events had left her pretty shaken.

“What do you want to know?” she asked. “I think I’ve been pretty straight-forward with you.”

He leaned forward and slipped out of his coat. When he looked up at her again instead of burning lust, the look in his eyes was kind. It was also very compelling. Passion was what she expected. She was prepared to resist him long enough to answer his questions. However, she was not prepared for compassion. Selina felt her eyes stinging with unshed tears and he hadn’t even asked a question yet. What the fuck was going on with her? She was never this emotional. Selina had never been one of those people who cried over greeting card commercials or got all worked up when she had PMS. That’s not to say she didn’t feel things or show emotion. She simply wasn’t an overly emotional person. That is, until Asmodeus answered her summons. Something about him awakened feelings she could not express. Maybe that was why she wanted to cry? He made her feel like her emotions were overflowing.

“What is it you really want?” he said softly.

“I knew it,” she said. “I knew you would ask that.” She braced herself and tried to maintain her composure as she confessed, “I just want to be loved. I’ve dated so many guys.” She paused and wiped a few tears. “Wow. That sounds bad. I feel like I’m missing something. Not because I’m alone, but like a part of me is missing. I’ve always sensed that it was out there somewhere, this connection that I’m supposed to have. That probably sounds desperate and needy, and every other thing in the world that I’m afraid of sounding like, but it’s the truth.”

She started to cry harder. Asmodeus knelt by her chair and pulled her close. He smelled of leather and incense and she breathed deeply, comforted by his scent.

“You don’t sound like any of those things,” he said kindly. “You sound human. Everyone wants to be loved. It’s a very basic need. You are not weak for wanting someone who loves and accepts you. What do you think got me into this mess in the first place?”

She laughed softly at his joke, and wiped a few more tears.

“I looked in the wrong place for it, but I was also looking for love. I wanted to connect with someone the way you described. What I need to know is, do you still want this? Is it the deepest desire of your heart?”

Selina thought that over for a moment before answering, “Yes.”

“Do you think it’s possible to have what you want with a demon? Are you willing to try? I know this is very sudden, but we have a time limit before all Hell breaks loose.”

“I want you to stay with me,” she said.
