I Made A Deal With The Devil .Chapter 55: at the boss's orders .Once Akio’s in the attic, it doesn’t take him very long to locate the specific boxes he wants. He’s labeled every Christmas-related container in the space, which shortens the amount of time he has to spend sifting through storage. He grabs the end of the first container, which houses an artificial tree, and starts dragging it toward the attic opening. Then he starts to descend the ladder, while pulling the container along with him.He’s not a third of the way down when he realizes this setup isn’t going to work. It would be easier if he simply had someone at the bottom of the ladder to carefully pass the container to, but since he’s alone, he has to bear all the weight himself, and the moment the bin completely slides off the edge of the attic opening above, all of its heaviness will shift against his chest and throw his center of gravity off. He’s not entirely sure how he’ll be able to stay upright when that happens.
I Made A Deal With The Devil .Chapter 56: maybe a few more .It takes a moment for Akio to organize his thoughts. For a moment, he’s wondering if he’s actually woken up in some kind of parallel universe, where Alexander’s men are nice to him and go out of their way to ask about his hobbies and interests.“Uhm,” he responds, ever so eloquently.“I’ve got this niece heading to college for it. She asked for a camera for Christmas. Parents don’t really have the money for something like that. I told her I’d take care of it. Don’t really know what I’m looking for, though. Figured you could maybe point me in the right direction.”Seeing an opportunity to redeem himself, Akio instantly brightens. He tells Sal he’ll be right back, then dashes away to grab his laptop from his room. When he returns, he holds up the laptop, navigates to a webpage, and shows Sal the latest camera models, going on and on and on about all the newest features and specifications and everything else he can think of.
I Made A Deal With The Devil .Chapter 57: love, oh so sweet .Akio’s throat dries as he continues admiring Nikolai. With every step Nikolai takes, his muscles shift or flex, and it’s making Akio forget his name. He wants to lick Nikolai’s entire upper body up like it’s a scoop of ice cream, and heat blooms in his cheeks at the wild thought. He tries to look away, but Nikolai’s movements make the tattoos covering his torso come to life, especially the large dragon tattoo that takes up his entire right pec and upper arm. The design almost seems to ripple, like a reflection in a pond.Akio’s eyes shift to the opposite pec, where the name ‘Akio’ is emblazoned on Nikolai’s skin, right over his heart. Akio feels a surge of pride and love at the sight, the way he always does. Subconsciously, he runs his fingertips over his right wrist bone, where he’s recently gotten the letter N tattooed. He likes to think of the tattoos as mirror images of each other, each a sign of Akio’s and Nikolai
I Made A Deal With The Devil .Chapter 58: greatest gift of all; you .He kissed the inside of Akio’s wrist. “Who gets to cherish you.” He kissed the other wrist. “Who gets to make you feel good in every possible way as I worship this beautiful, beautiful body of yours.”Akio unexpectedly felt a pinch in his throat. He hadn’t realized how much he’d wanted that reassurance; hadn’t even known there was a lingering insecurity hiding behind his heart. But Nikolai’s words made his heart glow and fill to the brim with adoration and thankfulness. Thankfulness that he was in love with a man who was so tender with him in word and deed, and who treasured him in a way that made Akio feel like he was floating among the clouds. And when he had ultimately removed his shirt that day, he’d seen nothing but desire in Nikolai’s eyes, and more importantly: pure love.As their intimacy continued growing over the passing weeks, if there was one thing that was true, it was that Akio had never felt more

I Made A Deal With The Devil.Chapter 2: A Soul for A Soul. *Amir Roswell* Then, the door was slammed open.It was his bodyguard, Nikolai. "Amir! Thank God you're alright!" Nikolai was panting heavily, and his black suit was covered in blood everywhere. There was a trail of blood coming from him, that Amir could see the blood drop to the floor."What's going on?!" Amir asked in a panicked voice, but instead of giving him a proper explanation Nikolai just picked Amir up and tried to escape with him.‘No matter what happens, you must protect my child, got it?’ Hester’s words emerged in Nikolai’s mind, as he was carrying Amir in his arms, trying to escape through the chaos that was occurring in the mansion.‘Even when I die, I want you to stay by his side and protect him. I want my child to live and be happy. I want him to lead an ordinary life, find a mate who loves and supports him’ His words repeated in Nikolai’s mind, making him tear up.God, what was going to happen to them n
I Made A Deal With The Devil.Chapter 3: I found the Devil ."Christ, Amir. Did you have to pack this much? We're going to Magadan to make a deal with a gang leader.

I Made A Deal With The Devil.Chapter 4: deal done in hell’s basement .“What do you need me for?''. Alexander spoke confidently.While Amir was frozen for a moment from his shock. His doe eyes widened, gazing at Alexander up and down again.Well he does look like a gangster, Amir thought to himself.''Are you...Alexander Ivankov..?''Alexander nodded, a smile forming, walking even closer to Amir, speaking to him in a lower tone, ''What deal do you want to arrange with me, darling?''.Amir pouted a little, hearing the gangster repeatedly use pet names with him, ''Well, since I found you...can we go somewhere private? It's important!''.Alexander let out a soft chuckle, finding him, the pretty Omega in front of him quite amusing. ''Mm, sure. Let's go to my car then, over there-'' He motioned a bit further away from the beach shore. Amir could see a very expensive limousine car parked in the lot.He could also see a few muscular Alphas dressed in black, standing outside of the black
