"Why did you do it?" Jan asks out of the blue and I stop reading the paperwork Ida sent to me on email to look at him. My mind still wonders off to the fact that she sent them to me on Saturday morning. I like that! Does she put this much work in every aspect of her life?

"Do what, to be specific?" I ask him already knowing the answer to his question.

"Make her sign the deal! You haven't done that in years!" He tells me and I let out a sigh. That is what I've been asking myself as well. Why did I do it anyway?

"I don't know! She is intriguing; so beautiful and so pure! And she reminds me of someone." I tell him as I look out the window. I know very well who she reminds me of, but I can't tell that to Jan. Her face might be different, but when I look at her...

"Exactly! She managed to stay like this until now. Why are you taking this away from her?" He asks me and I start to get annoyed by where this conversation is going.

"Who says I will ruin her?" I ask him, not believing my words either.

"For fuck's sake, Cade! You will fuck her into oblivion, make her succumb to all your wishes, make her depend on the pleasure you will bring to her, make her lose her mind for you, just like you have done with every other toy you've had over the past 1000 years!" He says and I clench my fists.

"I didn't think about it! I just acted on impulse, OK? I saw her light and I was drawn to her like a moth." I finally answer him and he lets out a sigh this time.

"You have to burn the pact and release her! She is not fit for any of it!" He tells me and I know he is right. He's always been right. He might be the only one of our kind with a conscience.

"I will think about it!" I tell him and he turns around and looks me in the eyes.

"Don't think about it! Just do it! You know I am right!" He tells me, pointing his finger at me.

"OK! Now will you stop with the goodie shoes act? You are making me uncomfortable! This is not normal!" I tell him and he lets out a bitter laughter. "Can't we just go out and hunt for our next refill?" I ask him and he rolls his eyes a little. I swear, he is such a drama queen!

"Fine! Entire Milan is at your feet, Your Highness!" He says sarcastically and finally steps on my nerves.

"Don't call me that!"

"You ready, princess?" Ava asks me as she studies her boobs a little bit more.

"They are still there, Ava! Now stop admiring them and let's go!" I tell her as I slip on my heels for the night. You would think that after the torture I had to put up with yesterday, I would just go for sneakers and you are right. I wanted to go for them- well, I wanted to have a lovely quiet night in, but this little club maniac had other plans for me.

"OK! The babies are ready for action!" She says as she gives her boobs a final push upwards and I burst into laughter.

"Jesus, woman! You are killing me!" I tell her as I stumble across my feet because they still hurt as hell after yesterday. How I hate heels!

"And you love it, so shut up!" She tells me and I can't argue with her. I really do love it.

"Remind me again, why are we going to a club at 11 pm?" I ask her as we reach our destination.

"What are you? 60 or something?" She mocks me and we enter to door. The music is extremely loud, just like Ava usually is. I don't get to answer her question because she already pulls me to the dancefloor, spinning around like she has no care in the world. She's always been like this, my Ava.

One of my favorite things about Lust is that the VIP area is located at a higher floor and you can see the entire dancefloor downstairs. The downside is that they can also see you.

I study each woman dancing, how they move, their energy, their faces, searching for the perfect victim tonight. However, after a few glasses of scotch I already get bored and it doesn't even matter anymore. I have two hot redheads dancing on my lap. It looks like my energy levels will be very high tomorrow. Who needs contracts nowadays when women offer themselves on a plate? However, my mind wanders to the little woman that made me do it again. She reminds me of her but she is not her, of course. Am I in for a major disappointment?

I stand up and go downstairs for a smoke. As I walk across the room, I look towards the dancefloor again and my eyes freeze on the most beautiful woman there. Her hips are gently swaying on the rhythm of the music as her hands are rotating in the air. Her hair is bouncing in blonde lose curls, covering her profile. I lean against the wall and continue admiring her. Her delicious curves are wrapped in a silk dress that ends a few centimetres under her round ass. I find myself rearranging my pants by the time she finally turns and I see her face.

Her eyes lock with mine and she freezes in her spot. I take a deep breath as I look at her, forgetting my discussion with Jan earlier. Her lips part as she recognizes me and I find that to be my cue for making my move.

"I must say, I like this look better on you, miss Lumien." I say to her ear as the music slows down. She doesn't say anything. She just stands there like a statue, looking at me in disbelief. As much as I love her reaction, I feel like pushing her even further, so I wrap my arm around her waist and pull her close to me.

"May I have this dance?"
