Their minds waltzed on the edge of a cliff together. The feral chaotic energy that bubbled up in her fed his own wicked impulses. He closed his eyes as her lips met his. Eyebrows crawled towards his hairline. He was surprised how connected he felt with her already. How good it felt to kiss her.
He was left with a glass of bourbon and a swirl of smoke that smelled vaguely like vanilla. It quickly dissipated. He leaned heavily on the wall suddenly mentally exhausted.
“Julianna?”
But she was already gone. Had he formally commissioned her services? Was his desire for the deeds and that scaffold of a plan enough of an order?
He nursed his drink and strolled through his house trying to evaluate it through another’s eyes. Her eyes. There was a certain relentless austerity to the decor. Many sharp edges. A lot of empty space. The high ceilings and minimal furnishings in dark colors combined to feel both expansive and yet oppressive and heavy.
He didn’t see the problem with this.
It was just the way he liked it.
He found her box, left behind there in the room with the billiards table. He carried his tucked against his side as he went upstairs to his bedroom. He set it on his bedside table and put the empty glass of bourbon next to it.
He went to bed and dreamt of her fanatical smile as she moved quietly and with the sensuality of smoke through a house unfamiliar to him. Into an office. Through some drawers. She worked with ink on some paper. There were faces he didn’t know and some he did. Eventually the series of vague images that constituted his dream came to an end.
Slept kept him until morning when the harsh ring of his phone drew him suddenly upright in bed. The surprise wakening was doubled when he found the demoness who haunted his dreams all night there at the foot of his bed watching him with those strangely colored eyes.
He startled again and a short string of curses followed. Rubbing his eyes, he glared at her while his phone rang and rang. “Where did you --- were you --- watching me sleep?”
The space between his shoulder blades itched and he was reminded of their pact. He twisted his arm up behind him to feel the skin that had been marked. He could only assume the mark was still there. The skin was smooth again.
