Chapter Two: Red silk and bittersweet feelings

I walked down the hallway towards my bedroom. Holding my phone in my hand as I looked down at the screen. Worrying my lower lip with my teeth. How was going to tell my boss that I needed time off?

Charity had told me what he was and I was worried that it would make me act weird around him. That he would know that I knew what he was. Sure, he was hot and I would be lying if I said that I had never thought about sleeping with him.

Not that I would, before I had been in a relationship with Jake. Now I was figuring things out with Jason, Ryan, and Travis. Even though I wasn’t sure what was going on, I knew that I wasn’t going to sleep with my boss.

There was something about him and I guessed that being a demon. Everyone felt that pull around him. He was a sex demon so it only made sense. It wasn’t like I was going to act on it or anything, but the thought was there at the back of my mind.

Shaking my head, I pushed open the door to my room. Everything looked just the same as it had yesterday afternoon. My bed was neatly made with the purple and white quilt that mom had given me for Christmas last year.

The framed picture of Jake and me from our first date sat on my nightstand. Our smiling faces looked up at me, it had been a good night. We had gone to see some action movie that he wanted to see. I looked at his face, trying to see if I could find any traces of the animal that I knew was lurking beneath his skin. I didn’t see any, he looked just like he normally did.

I wished that he had told me what he was.
