Page 18 of I Accidentally Summoned a Demon Boyfriend

“I dropped by to see a friend.” She turned her back to me to face him. “Heard you’ve been having some trouble. I’m starting to understand why.”

“Someone reporting my business to you?”

“You’re a popular guy. A lot of people are paying attention, and rumors fly fast down here. Regardless, that’s not important.” She pointed over her shoulder at me. “What is this doing here Metice? A live human… you know that is against the rules.”

“And you know I don’t give a fuck about rules.” Metice glanced around the woman, and his eyes locked onto me. “Just like I know you don’t give a fuck about me being in trouble. Leave.”

“Ah.” She walked over to him placing her hand on his jaw. Metice backed away like her touch burned his flesh, and her lips twisted into a scowl as she snapped, “Don’t you miss me, even a little?”

“I miss the silence when you weren’t here.” He stepped aside and pointed to the door. “Get out.”

“Fine.” She sucked her teeth and tossed an annoyed look over her shoulder at me. “But I’ll be back.”

“Don’t bother.” Metice sounded like he was holding back so much rage. This woman had a physical effect on him. He balled his fist at his side, and the veins stood along his arm. “I have nothing to say to you.”

“You be careful with this one. Trouble follows wherever he goes.” the nameless demoness spoke to me but kept her eyes on him. “You might just end your fragile human life earlier than expected.”

I wish I’d said something back to her, but I didn’t. My mind was spinning with thoughts of my future, this demon, and the potential of losing my life. I stood there like a deer in headlights as she left. When the door shut and the latch clicked, my brain snapped out of its paralysis.

“Ex-girlfriend?” I asked when Metice neglected to address the elephant in the room.

“What?” Though he was looking right at me, his mind was clearly somewhere else. He snapped into focus.

“The way she looked at you. The touch on your face.” I mimed the affectionate action. “I’d say that’s an ex. She didn’t look happy to see me here either.”

“You’re not entirely wrong,” he confirmed my theory.

“Didn’t think I was.” I looked at his empty hands and frowned. “You didn’t bring me anything to eat?”

“Excuse me?” he muttered, and we were back to him being annoyed not by the unannounced visitor but by the human he kidnapped.

“I’ve been sitting in your dungeon for hours and you’re not even going to feed me?” I wasn’t really that hungry, but I had to change the topic. I didn’t care about what issues he had with his ex. I didn’t want to know any details that didn’t concern me getting my ass back to Earth.

“I-” He stammered. Whoever that was, she’d really did a number on him.

“Right, you’re selfish.” I threw my hands up and returned to the sofa. “Kidnap me then starve me while you run around hell. Thanks.”

“If you want something to eat, just ask,” he snapped back. “It’s really not that complicated.”

“Why should I have to ask for you to consider my needs?” I had him. I could see it in his eyes. The spell was broken, and the sassy demon boy was back.

“I’m sorry, are you my wife now?” He scoffed and sat across from me. “What’s happening here?”

“Just practicing.” I shrugged.

“For what?” he asked.

“We’re soulmates, right? That’s what you said. Meaning we’ll be stuck together forever.” I carved my lips into a scheming grin. “How do you think it’s going to be? You and me, together for an eternity. I wonder if I’ll get some of your immortality. Do you think I could live here forever with you at my beck and call?”

“Not if I can help it.” He looked like he was going to be sick at the thought.

“Well, until you figure out how to fix this, I’m going to need you to be anticipating my needs.” I laid back on the sofa, stretching my arms above my head. “And right now, this human needs to eat.”

“No wonder you were trying to use magic to make a man for yourself.” He pointed at me. “No real one in his right mind would deal with you.”

“If I pretend to be upset by that, will you find me some food?” I stuck my tongue out at him.

“I’ll get you food when you ask for it. Nicely.” He sat forward. “I’ll wait.”
