Ruben escorted Kat out and slowly followed along behind the warlocks, seeing them off politely before turning and looking at Kat who was yawning and stretching.

“God, I’m tired…” She breathed.

Ruben regarded her a moment before he clicked his fingers up in the air.

“My Lord?” A young female maid came up and bowed respectfully at Ruben.

Ruben smiled at her and turned to Kat. “Follow her.”

Kat frowned and folded her arms. “Why?” She turned to look at the young woman standing there nervously, her eyes downcast.

“You said you were tired…she will show you to your room so you can have a nap.”

“Oh…” Kat said a little surprised and a lot disappointed.

“What?” Ruben asked amused, tilting his head at her. “You thought you could sleep in my bed again?”

Kat looked up at him with a small frown. “Yeah&hellip

    It had been two days and no word from Scott of his whereabouts…which was fine by Kat as she got to stay by Ruben’s side.Yet this evening started with the dusk arrival of more drama…As Mikhail’s car came to a stop outside the mansion he barrelled out of it and straight up to Ruben as he waited cordially within the front entrance after being informed of Mikhail’s arrival.“We need to talk, now!” Mikhail hissed as he flicked a glance at Kat standing off to the left, before stalking off.Ruben rolled his eyes. “Christ…” He muttered in a breath.“What is it?” Kat asked, only slightly curious.Ruben looked at her. “He has been messaging me telling me all sorts of shit that he had been finding out about Demons…he really has it in for you.”“Why me?” Kat scowled with a faint pout.Ruben shrugged. “Everything is black and wh

    Mikhail raised his hands in mock surrender. “It wasn’t me…” “Kat!? What the hell?” Ruben asked, accusatory. “Why would you touch him?”“I was trying to…I meant to kick his sorry ass!” Kat was shaking her head trying to clear the fog that had descended in it. Her mouth was dry and her thoughts were full of Mikhail and his smouldering amber eyes, the feel of his chest under her fingers. “What the hell just happened to me?” Kat looked up at Mikhail.He was standing with his arms folded grinning smugly at her. He tilted his head slightly as their eyes met.Why did she suddenly feel giddy looking at him, he was so damn fine…no…what?“Damn it, Kat! I told you to keep away from him!” Ruben growled, frustrated as he took her by the shoulders roughly making her look at him.“I was trying to hurt him…he was pissing me off

    Kat knocked on the door. “Ruben…now is not the time to sulk in the bathroom.”“I think it is…” He leant his head back against the door, resting his forearms on his knees as he sighed.“I have questions…” Kat’s voice sounded irritated.“Like?” Ruben asked, faintly amused.“Oh? We doing this through the door?” Kat’s sarcasm was clear to his ears.“For now.” He chuckled, there was something infinitely attractive about her feisty attitude.“Mature…” She sneered. “Ruben…will I still be attracted to him after…?”Kat heard Ruben’s menacing growl through the door. “Yes, if you look at him.”“Huh…” She pondered.“What?” He growled deeper.“It’s weird…” She murmured half to herself.“Weird?

    The next day noted the fourth day Kat was with Ruben in his mansion and still no sign of Scott showing up to claim her back. It also meant that today was the day the warlocks were due to do the ritual to summon Lord Basille.Kat had slept late as Ruben had ‘gone to work’ in his office. She had mentioned the fact that he never seemed to leave the mansion for meetings or other work related things, he had surprised her when he had confessed that was because he had put all his meetings on hold to stay with and protect her, but that did mean a lot of time on his laptop and his phone talking and emailing.After she finally rose late afternoon, she had gone to find him in his office, sitting quietly in the corner on the couch as he continued to work, the two of them just content to have the other nearby.“I’m hungry.” Kat said as she got up from her chair, stretching.“Christ…do you ever stop eating?” Ruben asked.

    “I tried to warn you…” Kat huffed. “But we did learn one thing…” Kat sat down in the chair beside Ruben, placing her hands under her legs, swinging her legs back and forth.“What’s that?” Ruben looked at her amused by her child like behaviour.“We just need to fulfil Scott’s contract to end his hold over me…of course it was so simple.”“What’s simple…we don’t know the fulfilment details…”“I do.” Kat grinned.Ruben’s eyes widened. “You do?”“Of course…I’m a part of that contract…I feel a bit stupid I didn’t actually realise it myself.” She tucked her hair behind one ear, awkwardly, looking a little embarrassed.“Realise what exactly…Bastetia?” Ruben said smartly, intoning her name in a sultry manner.Kat’s eyes clouded

    As Kat stormed into the office the next day Ruben grinned amused at her as he continued to look at the papers in front of him. He had been waiting for this all morning.“What the hell, Ruben?” Kat stood defiantly with her hands on her hips just in the doorway after slamming the door shut behind her.Ruben looked up from his paperwork and leaned casually back into his chair. “Kat, nice to see you finally got out of bed.”“Don’t give me that nicey nice bullshit, Ruben, what game are you playing?”“Game, baby girl?”“Where the hell has all my pants and underwear gone?”Ruben gave her a dark smouldering look as he looked her over slowly, making her burn under that gaze. She was wearing a black form fitting dress with no sleeves that came to a respectful just-over-the-knee length with a small split in the back. He liked it, it looked really smart on her, made her look like a rich b

    Ruben had left Kat well sated and with Lucinda, unpacking clothes. Smiling and eating popcorn and snacks…always eating…Earlier the night before he had given Lucinda his card and told her to go shopping for Kat, everything she needed. She had squealed in delight but then pouted when he told her Kat couldn’t go with her it was too risky to allow her to leave the mansion with Scott still not located, but she had done a fantastic job and when she had entered his rooms with an entourage of people carrying bags he wondered if he was now a broke pauper. He had fully intended all along to give Kat her underwear back and now she had lots of new sets. He looked forward to seeing her wear them….Now they were sitting on the bed as Lucinda showed Kat what she had purchased.“It’s all too much…” Kat said as she blushed modestly.“No it’s not.” Lucinda brushed it off to the fact that Ruben c

    “Hey Kat, since the weather is getting warmer and it’s a lovely day do you want to go for a swim in the pool.” Ruben had thought about how they could spend the day together making her get up before midday to an intimate breakfast on the balcony overlooking the pool.“Oh…ah…okay…” Kat looked down at the pool dubiously.“What’s the problem? Cat’s don’t swim?” He grinned as she flashed him a dark look.“Exactly, I don’t swim.” She snarked back.“Well, it’s not like it’s that deep…” He chuckled.“Okay…I think Lucinda bought me a swim suit during her shopping spree the other night…”Ruben laughed. “She spoils you…”“You spoil me, I know it’s your money.”Ruben shrugged and smiled that smile at her as she went into the wardrobe wh

  • The Demon Contract   Epilogue

    Kat felt faint and sleepy all of a sudden, collapsing to her knees before slumping to the ground, closing her eyes on the sight of Ruben and Michael within the golden column of light. She called out his name softly before falling into a deep sleep as she was enveloped within the same golden light, appearing to grow transparent before she vanished from the Demon King’s throne room completely just as the golden column of light, Ruben and Michael also vanished. . When she awoke she found herself lying in a meadow on the side of a mountain capped with snow. She sat up and looked around to discover she was surrounded by these amazing snow-capped mountains. In the distance sat a great castle overlooking the valleys below with a river ambling between. Kat saw Ruben standing not too far away on the edge of a small precipice, looking out at the view, his hands casually in his pockets and his hair blowing in the gentle breeze that also blew the long grass around her. Kat stood up and walked

    It was a half hour wait filled with the Demon King going about his business completely ignoring Ruben and Kat as they were ushered to the side and given seats, something to drink and eat and treated by the courtiers like honoured guests.“Ruben, what are you going to do if they do return you to the human realm?” Kat asked under her breath, hardly wanting to be caught speaking.He frowned as he looked at her. “What do you mean?”“Well, you are the proper King…won’t they want you to return to being their King if you return?”Ruben scratched his cheek and shrugged. “I suppose they will…but I don’t want it and I know you don’t want to return to that place…so I guess I’ll have to abdicate…”“Won’t that put the General’s position in jeopardy?”Ruben’s eyebrow raised as he heard her concern for the General. “Perhaps…he currently has the palace under Marshall Law…but what is it you are trying to say? You don’t want to go back to the Terran Realm?”Kat shook her head. “I would just rather be a

    “However…I know the story behind Basille’s apparent desperation to flaunt the rules and decide to try and recreate a being he should have never fallen for…” The Demon King stated with a little patient smile. “Shall I tell it to you?”“Yes, please…” Kat whispered, her voice not wanting to come out of her.The Demon King grinned and lunged forward, scooping an arm around Kat’s waist and dragging her round and up onto his lap. He placed a hand on top of her head sending a calming sleepy spell over her, making her compliant and still as she dropped back against his chest and looked up at him with a dreamy smile as he patted her and rubbed her ears like a pet.Ruben lurched to his feet, his fists clenched and surrounded by a blue flame. “Let her go!”The Demon King flicked his fingers, not even looking away from Kat’s dreamy expression and Ruben was sent flying back through the hall and crashing into one of the gigantic marble pillars, dropping like a stone to the floor.He coughed blood,

    The Demon King was huge and sat upon an impressively massive throne that covered the entire back wall from floor to ceiling like organ pipes in a cathedral. Ruben’s eyes narrowed as he took in the mighty beast languishing on his throne. He was clearly about twelve feet tall, long black hair fell down to his shoulders as two foot long curled black horns stuck through it on either side of his forehead. He was chiselled and cruel looking, his eyes were literally flaming, swirling with red, orange and yellow, the pupils slits, where the sclera were usually white his were black and bottomless. He was dressed in a black house coat embroidered with gold thread depicting dragons, his bare chest and astonishing abdominal muscles were displayed with arrogant pride. His black leather pants tight to his thick thighs. At his feet were two demon girls, fawning over him. They were beautiful and both had long forked tails and tiny horns. They both turned and hissed at Ruben’s approach showing their

    As Ruben stepped into the private rooms at the top of a massive tower that were once occupied by Basille he looked around with distaste before looking up and gasping. “Holy shit, this is not what I expected…” The entire ceiling was see-through to the sky like a massive atrium. It was dark outside and they could see a million stars twinkling down on them. Kat hugged her arms around herself as she looked around the room with a small pout. “Even though this room was Basille’s it was my most favourite room in the whole castle.” She looked up at the sky with a whimsical smile. Folding his arms and setting his feet only a foot over the threshold Ruben frowned darkly. “As lovely as that is…why do you think I would want to stay here?” Kat turned back to regard him, her lips pursed. “Where else? This really is the best rooms in the whole dreary castle.” Ruben scowled at the rudimentary furniture and the large wooden four poster bed with a mattress that looked like it was stuffed with a mi

    After tidying themselves up they walked out of the catacombs and back up into the palace. Kat startled to see a small group of vampires waiting for them, amongst them was King Adicus Luisette, now wearing his crisp uniform jacket but instead of his peaked hat he wore the simple gold crown and looking very dashing. He smiled at them as everyone else applauded politely. Kat turned her head in embarrassment to see Ruben laughing with delight. He stepped forward and started shaking hands with the people waiting as they gave him their congratulations. Kat stayed where she was not sure if she should follow him or not. A voice behind her made her spin around with shock as Ruben did the same, grinning from ear to ear. “How about a hello to your favourite childhood friend?” Vladimir was standing there in all his flouncy glory, a young noble looking man standing behind him, both dressed up to the nines with frilly shirts and outrageous velvet suits. “Vladimir!” Ruben shouted with amazement.

    Kat was enduring the preparations of her eternal bonding with Ruben. He had left her in the charge of the two fae women from Luisette’s harem, where she had been instructed to soak in a bath full of goat’s milk in which a drop of Ruben’s blood had been added, then showered clean, her hair and makeup done.Kat was dressed in a stunning gown of black, with a corseted waist and long straight skirt. Her wealth of golden blond hair shined like real gold in the flickering candle light from the hundreds of candles that lined the crypt like room as she was led by Von Dulce down into the catacombs under the palace.She looked around the circular room, with many tunnels leading off, with a little apprehension knowing down here was where many vampire rested in long sleep. Now, including King Luisette.She turned as she heard movement and saw Ruben and Batton walk out of one such tunnel, their faces grim after having just laid King Luisette to rest.Ruben, was wearing a matching black suit, the v

    They made quick work of rounding up the Lords they needed, as soon as they opened the doors to the rooms and the vampires saw the great demon as the shadows crept in behind them they quickly made their way down the halls with no great objections, their expressions grim and wary as they were herded towards their destination of the Throne room. As they all stepped in they gasped as they saw Ruben sitting upon the Throne looking very regal with the King’s robes around his shoulders and the inert body of King Alessandro Luisette lying upon the couch to one side. Ruben watched them with an eagle like stare as they were herded in and grouped together, surrounded by soldiers. General Batton stepped up the dais steps and took position to Ruben’s left as the demon cat jumped up and stood on Ruben’s right. Ruben reached out a hand and placed it on Kat’s head as she smooched it affectionately. Lord Echron stepped forward, his face livid. “What’s the meaning of all this! If you wanted the thro

    As Ruben walked into the throne room he looked around and surprisingly saw Von Dulce sitting behind his desk, frantically scribbling something down on a piece of paper. Ruben and Batton looked at each other before Ruben coughed for Von Dulce’s attention. He looked up and paled to see both General Batton and Prince Ruben standing together. “You…” He stuttered. “You’re in on this together?” He gaped at them with fear of the unknown. Ruben gave him a reassuring smile. “Relax, we aren’t going to throw you out of office…” “You’re not?” Von Dulce gulped, a little relieved. “No…in fact we need you to help make this transition go smoothly…” Ruben looked down at the desk with a curious frown. “What are you writing?” Von Dulce gave a nervous laugh and rubbed the back of his neck. “Instructions…for whomever took over the administration of the palace…” Ruben raised an eyebrow at him. “Wait, you thought you were going to be executed or something and so diligently wrote down instructions for y
