“Devoted much?”

“To a fault, sir,” he replies with pride. “I have been given the honor of serving you once more, and I do not take this lightly.”

That makes no fucking sense to me, but I keep leaning on him, feeling weaker, and if I’m honest I want to call Jessica and fuck the shit out of her right now…but this is different.The way I want to fuck her is…fuck…I shudder, cum dripping down my leg thinking about her.

He opens a hidden door behind a mirrored wall, slick as hell, glowing faintly with runes. Inside is a room that hums with what Randolf calls containment spells and cooling wards that make my body jolt when I step inside. The air is cold as ice, a shock to my overheated self, but fuck it feels nice.

The room is black and gold with a shit ton of bookshelves and all types of shit I’ve never before laid eyes on. There is a black platform bed along the wall with the books and huge windows letting in sunlight even though we are in a dungeon-like space…the fuck is this place?

Randolf helps me over to the bed before he hands me an inhaler and I frown.

“What’s this? Randolf, are you in on the damn asthma shit, too? Never knew you to be very humorous…”

“Asthma? But Milord, asthma is a respiratory disease… this is miasma concentrate, it vastly different,” he answers seriously. “It’s not a lot, but it should help you settle the storm inside you.”

Hell, I don’t ask questions, I don’t need to. I suck in the inhaler,hard. One. Two. Three deep pulls. I lean back, eyes rolling to the back of my head as the burn settled fast, cooling my hot lungs. My heart rate slows, my head clears, and the power curling under my skin cools just enough to stop the shaking in my hands and the fucked up thoughts I was having about my Little Baby.

I collapse back onto the couch behind me.

“Fuuuck, this shit is stupid,” I mutter, eyes growing heavy, and Randolf nods, taking off my shoes and setting them near the wall.

“Rest now. I’ll handle the trash before Milady arrives. As I stated, it is an honor to serve you once more… ” he states before leaving and I barely process that last line before everything tilts and my eyes shut.

Darkness swallows me whole.

Jessica

I trudge upstairs to my apartment, feeling odd. It’s been a long while since I’ve been here…An eternity, really,but I need time to be alone…

I fumble for my house key to go inside but my eyes widen in surprise when I see that my key doesn’t work…what the helly?

Frowning, I try to insert it again then jiggle the doorknob, but that bitch won’t open!What in the fuck is going on?But when the door swings open, and a beautiful… no… to say this girl is beautiful would be an insult to her. She dead ass looks like a human Black barbie doll, but better.

I’ve never seen a girl so pretty that she puts pretty to shame. Hell, even the fact that she’s got her face screwed up in a mean mug makes her look even prettier.

“What the fuck is your problem trying to break in my place in broad daylight?!” she snaps and I’m shook for a second because did she just say her place? I step back to look at the apartment number. Sure fucking enough, thisismy place, but when I look past her, I see none of my shit.

“Uhm… my bad I know this might sound silly, but when exactly did you move in here?” I narrow my eyes, confused. She looks like she wants to go off on me, but she folds her arms under her ample chest, eyeing me, and I guess she comes to some sort of conclusion, and her expression morphs into something much softer that matches her pretty face.

“Not long ago… I just transferred over here,” she states a bit more kindly, and I blink, shook.

“O-oh…”

“I’m sorry, is there a problem?” she asks, genuinely concerned.

“Uhm… yeah, a bit,” I let her know honestly. “I’m just confused because up until like now, this was my place. I didn’t even technically move out… so I wasn’t expecting my key to not work, and I know I paid all my bills, so….” I trail off, and her pretty lips form an O.

“Dang… I had no idea. I saw this place listed for little to nothing so I snagged it up and moved in immediately. Same day, actually. Hold on, let me get my phone and check.” She rushes from the door, and honestly, it’s odd to be standing outside my place with another girl occupying it…

When she comes back, it’s weird as hell to say she got prettier. As she scrolls through her phone, I take in her luscious, dark brown skin that has not a single blemish. Her long hair seems to be dyed jet black, which gives her a mysterious look. She has a beauty mole on her bottom lip that draws the eyes low with almost seductive cat eyes that tease.

She drapes her hair behind her ear, and the smell of cookies wafts over me.Dang, she smells good!

“Dang, I can’t seem to find the ad, but it was here not too long ago… it’s even erased from my pictures!” she pouts, scrolling for a while, clearly growing frustrated.
