Ormenus seemed content for now to sip his booze and watch Ryan eat. “Plenty more where that came from.”
“Sorry.” Ryan paused to take a breath in between bites. “It’s really good. Better be careful or I might get used to this.”
“That’s sort of the idea, sweetheart.” Ormenus winked. “I meant it when I said I intend to take over your calendar.”
“All right, well. I’ll be sure to make myself available.” Ryan licked the back of the spoon.
While it would be nice while it lasted, he was certain this kind of arrangement had a fast approaching expiration date.
They always did.
Still, for now it was nice to pretend.
“Got a cell phone number or something?” Ryan asked. “Mysterious business card?”
“Funny you should ask.” Ormenus smirked and a black business card appeared between his fingers. He offered it to Ryan. “Here.”
ORMENUS and a phone number were written in a richly embossed red ink.
Exactly what a demon would have.
“Cool.” Ryan looked over the card. He took a big bite of ice cream and noticed Ormenus staring. “You want some?”
“Thank you, but I’m trying to watch my figure, sweetheart.”
Ryan chuckled. “Oh, sure. You know you’re totally hot, right?”
“Yes, hot as hell.”
“Was that a demon joke?”
“Do you want it to be?”
Ryan groaned. “Don’t make me kill you again.”
“You can certainly try.” Ormenus grinned wickedly. “Now, I still plan to fuck you one more time tonight while I watch Hell’s Kitchen, and I will need you tomorrow evening as well.”
“Looking forward to it.” Ryan finished off the ice cream, and he really shouldn’t have been surprised when the spoon and bowl vanished. “What time tomorrow?”
“How about seven o’clock?”
“Can we do seven thirty? I’ll make up for being late.”
“As you wish, sweetheart.” Ormenus reached out to caress Ryan’s cheek.
Ryan smiled. “I’ll be here.”
“Good.” Ormenus continued to touch Ryan’s skin, looking over him with a fond little smile. “Do you need anything?”
Ryan let himself enjoy the kind affection and soaked it up like a kitten. It was nice to be touched so gently, and he really could get used to this. “Nope. Right now, I’m pretty perfect.” His smile grew. “What about you? Is there something I can be doing for you, sir?”
“Trust me, my sweet little murder boy.” Ormenus beamed. “You’re doing it.”
Ryan’s heart skipped over itself, and he held his chest, surprised by its heavy thump.
He thought that kinda thing only happened in movies, and yet here it was, all because of Ormenus.
Ormenus’s smile dipped suddenly, and he looked sad. He quickly corrected his expression back to its usual smug state, and he said, “I think a hot bath and we’ll call it a night, eh?”
