"You shouldn't be here, this is a private section of the library."

I pick up my bag hastily and get ready to go.

"I got lost, then got distracted by the interesting subjects of the books in this room. But I don't have any more time today to search for books."

"How did you get in here?"

"The door was open."

"That seems unlikely."

"I swear it."

I start moving towards the door and sidestep him so I can leave the room. As soon as I'm out of there I start running and don't stop until I'm in my bedroom in the house I share with my sister. She won't be home until late. She's working a second job at a pub nearby so that I can attend the university. She's selfless like that, but I never asked her to do that for me. I've tried to get her to stop, but she refuses.

Sitting down on my bed I take out the book from my bag. I place it in the middle of my bed and open it to the first page. Not everything is in my language, but when I turn to the next page it explains what the book is and how to use it. My eyes are wide when I read the first paragraph. This is a catalog of some sorts.

The more I read, the more excited I get. This isn't just any catalog, it's a catalog of Pleasure Genies. The men and women on these pages can be summoned to give you pleasure. There's something about an exchange and payment due, but I don't understand much of it. What I am is mesmerized by the raw beauty of these genies.

I start fantasizing about which genie I would pick and as my thoughts turn heated I know I have to have at least one of them. I go back to the front of the book and read the incantation. You need a few things, candles and some herbs that I'll have to get at the market tomorrow, but the script is clear and straightforward.

The search for my genie takes me hours as I flip through the entire book and when I find it I put a piece of ribbon in between the pages to save the spot. Tonight, my dreams are filled with sexy fantasies of me and my genie and the next day I wake up happier than I've been in years.

I finished my work as fast as possible today and immediately after went to the market to get the herbs that the incantation requires. I buy them at different stalls so that no one can tell what I'm doing. When I get home, I set up everything on the desk in my room. I got worried when the instructions said to draw a pentagram where I would place the bowl with the herbs, but I shook it off and kept going. All my wishes were going to come true tonight.

The instructions said to write the name of the genie in a piece of parchment that would be burnt after saying the incantation. So I wrote in block letters 'Farsyn' and started chanting the words in the book softly. I had to read them three times and then say the name and burn it with one of the candles.

Coughs racked me because of the smoke caused by burning the parchment and my eyes grew teary. The candles were supposed to extinguish themselves if I did it right, but they were still lit up. I sighed in defeat and started gathering all the ingredients and utensils I used so that my sister would not suspect anything. If I am going to get a genie I want him all to myself.

Disappointment filled me and I put my elbows on my desk and my head on my hands. I guess it was too good to be true. My stomach made a noise of distress and I decided I would make myself a snack. I blew out the three candles and got up from the chair.

"If you're going to make something to eat for yourself, make something for me too."

My heart jumped and I turned around to see a man in full genie regalia lying on my bed. He looked like he didn't have a care in the world, lying there with his hands behind his head and his feet crossed. What's more, he looked like he recently had a pedicure. What exactly did genies do when not in service? I shook my head to stop my straying thoughts.

"Are you my genie? Farsyn?"

"At your service. However, there are a few small print items in our contract that we need to discuss. Or you could agree to them all right now and I can get started servicing you sexually."

The beating in my chest intensified, and I was gasping for air. I've never read a contract in my life, how am I supposed to get a good deal? My learning is too basic. But I can't show this genie that, I have to look like I know what I'm doing.

"What are the items that concern you?"

"If we sign the contract, I will be yours for a year and a day."

A poof sound echoed through the room, and now he had a long parchment in his hand and a quill.

"Okay."

He checked something on the parchment and gave me a seductive look.

"Um, the payment for my service is blood of your blood."

"I don't know what that means."

"It's generally a child that comes forth because of our union or a close relative."

"I don't understand."
