I made a deal with the devil

Soren

I was in over my head.

Another day, another message from Leon. I'd ignored most of them, but this one? This one, I couldn't brush aside.

Come to my office. We need to talk.

I sat in my car, gripping the steering wheel as I reread the text. I knew better than to trust him, but ignoring him hadn't worked so far. He was persistent, and if there was one thing I knew about Leon, it was that he never called unless he had something to dangle over my head.

I wonder what he had on me this time. I have to admit, not speaking to Rowan made the days go slowly.

Very slowly.

I had no idea that it's been a week since we decided to remain friends, a bad idea on my part. I couldn't sleep and I was horny as hell.

I was stupid enough to agree to that when I knew he was trying to find out how much he meant to me. I should have assured him but I let my ego get in the way and now I was alone.
