Night after night, I tossed and turned in bed. I would break out in cold sweats before feeling the heat of desire in between my legs. My mind would flash with visions of depraved sexual fantasies. If only I had not mouthed off to that witch a week ago in the market, then she would not have cursed me with a demon of the night. Seven days, I just had to last the week and then he would go away. Tonight was the last night and I fear my will was breaking. My boyfriend looked at me with great concern as I took a sip of hot espresso and midnight.
"You don't really intend on staying up the whole night, do you?" He questioned.
I glared at him. "That is exactly my intention."
"So you fear you are too weak to fight of the advances of the demon any longer?" He spat out distastefully.
I gripped the cup in my hand until my knuckles turned white. I held my tongue. Damnable witch, she was right. My boyfriend, Derrick, and I went to market together. We got into a fight. The witch told me to escape toxicity. I told the hag to fuck off. Now look where I am. I was on the brink of giving Derrick a piece of my mind when the lights flickered. I remained calm while he jumped like a coward. No wonder I was no longer attracted to him.
I heard my name, Morgan, being whispered. I turned to see if Derrick had noticed, but clearly the calling was only meant for my ears. My boyfriend muttered he was going to bed. I remained silent and headed out into the living room. The fireplace was crackling. I sat on the couch and covered up with a blanket. I tried to distract myself by reading a book, however, there were little things that bothered me: a sudden gust of cold wind made the hairs on my arms stand up, whispers in the air, and shadowy figures out of the corner of my eyes.
I put the book down and gasped startled. There he was, the demon that had been plaguing me all this time. His skin had a purplish tint to it. Horns jetted out from the top of his head. His tail with a pointed tip eagerly swayed in the air. My eyes trailed down his muscular body to see his rock hard erection. I swallowed hard.
"I didn't welcome you into my home." I said.
It was the only rule demons followed. They were only allowed entry into the home and body with permission.
