His Concubine (Book 2 of the Vanessa Solomon Series)

Chapter 1

"Enough to get the job done."

He let out a small laugh. "Well, thank you for bringing her home." He reached down and helped his girlfriend get out of the car. "Come on baby, let's go inside."

They smiled at each other and she waved goodbye to me. "See you tomorrow night, crazy girl!" She said to me, and I waved goodbye as I slid back into my car.

I watched them walk into their house together and he laid a gentle kiss on her forehead. I knew deep down I wanted someone like that, but I couldn't date a human. How would any human be okay with me being bonded to a demon? I shook my head and told myself that I wasn't going to ruin this night. I started up my car and headed home.

**** I pulled into the parking lot at my apartment and just sat there in silence after turning off my car. I didn't know what I wanted out of life, but I knew it wasn't to be a single woman for the rest of my life. I let out a long sigh as I watched the snow begin to fall on my car. The weather channel had been calling for snow all week, and I was kind of relieved when I saw it. I stepped out of my car and just stood there, letting the snow fall onto my black hair. I locked my car before heading up the stairs to my apartment and tried to be quiet as I passed the other rooms. My hands were so cold that I could barely get the key in the door.

"Come on," I groaned, and the door opened with a loud bang.

"So much for being quiet," I muttered, and hoped that none of the neighbors woke up.

I closed the door behind me and made sure I locked it before heading into my bedroom, but there was a strange red blur that flew past me.

"What the fuck?" I jerked my head in the direction I saw the blur come from and a woman with long red hair stood in my living room. She had on a see-through nude gown that didn't leave much to the imagination, and her body was in peak condition so she could easily pull it off. I didn't know whether to be angry that she had broken into my home, or happy to admire her beauty. Her eyes were bright green and her skin was fair with no blemishes. I had to blink a few times to make sure I wasn't dreaming, and then she spoke with an angelic voice.

"Are you Vanessa Solomon?"

I felt oddly relaxed even though there was a half naked woman standing in my living room, and my voice didn't even shake with nervousness as I replied.

"Yes. Can I help you?"

She smiled, and she had the most beautiful straight teeth that you only saw on television. She began walking towards me and placed her soft hand on my face. She was a few inches taller than me, but I didn't have to crane my neck back to look at her. She ran her fingers through my dark hair as she stared into my eyes with such lust. I had a few friends in high school that were lesbian, so the interaction that she was giving me didn't make me uncomfortable, in that sense. But I was uncomfortable by the way she looked at me and I had no idea who she was. I stared into those bright green eyes and forgot about everything else. I could feel myself swimming around in a green lake that was surrounded by sunflowers. The beautiful red head entered the water that I was in and I realized that I was nude, but I didn't feel embarrassed. I looked at the woman as she walked towards me, her naked body not affected by the cold temperature of the water. She placed her hands on my shoulders and began running her hands down my arms. My lower body reacted to her touch, but I knew that I wasn't attracted to women in that sexual way, so what the fuck was going on? I shook my head and tried to take a step back, but she pulled me in for a kiss and I was lost in a world focused on nothing but the softness of her lips. I kissed her back, and the worries of being gay or not had gone far away like they never existed. I let her pull me in against her body, and if it wasn't for the crow that flew above my head, I would have never come back to reality. I opened my eyes and I was lying in my bed with this large ass creature on top of me. This thing had to be like 9 feet tall. It was skinny as fuck and had these long fingers that looked like something out of a Goosebumps book. The head was larger than normal and had very thin black hair as if the body had withered away and could no longer grow thick, healthy hair. The eyes were completely white and were much larger than a human being's. I think it was a girl because it had on a see through gown that... Was this the same woman that I saw before? How the fuck did she go from that to this? The mouth opened up wide enough to take in my entire head, and it revealed sharp pointy teeth that reminded of a lantern fish. I screamed, and reached for the lamp that was next to the bed and shoved it into her mouth. I had to jerk my hand out of there fast so she wouldn't eat that too, and I pushed my feet into her stomach before rolling onto the floor. The tall creature spit out my broken lamp and jerked it's head at me and let out a loud scream. It sounded like it was coming from multiple lips, but there was only two people in this room, and I wasn't screaming. I covered my ears and kicked my black foot stool at her before making a run for the door. Those long fingers grabbed me by the leg, but it didn't hold on long as a blur of black smoke entered my bedroom. I hurried to the doorway and glanced behind me to see that it was Damarius. He grabbed the creature by the neck and threw it against the wall. His hands turned into black demon claws and he sliced her stomach open. The creature screamed and it's body began transforming back into the beautiful woman that I had saw when I got home. What the fuck was she?
