Will I let him in this time? Possibly.

Pulling open the door, I’m not met with a stare that makes my heart miss a beat. No, I’m met with an animalistic, almost ferocious flare.

“Lilith?”

“Yes?” I say, looking at Soren. He hands me a letter, then turns and heads down the hallway. “What’s this?” I call after him.

Lilith,

You are cordially invited to an exclusive event.

Wear a red dress. And comfortable shoes.

It will be a pleasure for the Society to host you.

On your arrival, you will receive a down payment of fifty thousand dollars.

We look forward to seeing you.

The Creed of the Forsaken Society

Holy mother of God.

My cock is hard as fuck.

Finding her number, of which she is unaware I have, I press call. She answers after the first ring, her sweet, sultry voice saying hello.

“That was a very, very bad thing to do, Caterpillar,” I say.
