The Devil’s Bargain
#100StoryChallenge — No18
“Oh, don’t look so put out. It was just a tiny clause in the contract, love.”
“Let me out,” the woman said, her eyes burning into him.

She still glared at him, but confusion crossed her expression.
“Go then. See if you like going back to that cesspit I dragged you from.”

“You would be a queen here,” he said. “Do you dare give that up?”
Temptation.
His specialty.
