You

Suddenly, red-black smoke snakes from his fingers to my fork. I'm sitting there in disbelief, staring at this strange mist that's putting all kinds of food on my plate. When I look up again, his eyes are watching me nonchalantly, as if nothing happened. He swirls the red liquid in his glass and takes a sip.

Is this his evol? That power is...impressive! And...terrifying...

»For your own sake, don't let me ask again.«

His voice is so dangerously calm that I can't hold back the shivers that run over my entire body.
He's definitely powerful.
And he knows it perfectly well.
His dominance intimidates me, even though I refuse to show it. But I'm sure he's seen the shock on my face anyway...

I'm doing this 'cause I'm actually starving. Not because he demanded it or because...I'm afraid of what he's capable of...

I take my fork that is now lying beside my plate again and start eating.
And it is unbelievably delicious!
I avoid his piercing eyes while I devour all the things he put on my plate.
And as soon as it's empty, I put the cutlery aside and look at him again.

»Now...Who the fuck are you?«

He drinks the rest of his wine and pours another glass.

»My name is Sylus. Ever heard of?«

»No. Should I?«

He smirks sheepishly.

»Depends. Ever heard of something called Onychinus?«

I gasp. My reaction makes him chuckle.

»Seems so.«

»What do you have to do with Onychinus?«, I ask nervously.

»What do you think, Sweetie?«

I try to ignore his pet name for me 'cause I know there is no point in arguing about it.

»I don't know, tell me.«

»How...boring. I'm the head and leader of Onychinus.«

I can feel the color draining from my face.

»You're...the boss of Onychinus?«

»Correct. Surprised?«

»Actually...Considering your power and dominance I really shouldn't be...«

Something flashes in his eyes for a second when he hears my words.

»I have quite the feeling you are less terrified then my usual interlocutors.«

»It takes a lot to frighten me...«

And he is a lot...

»Is that so?«

I have a feeling that my words only spur him on even more.
And then, with a flick of his fingers, he disappears into that red-black mist, only to appear again right behind me. I feel his breath brushing my ear, his hands laying on the table in front of me. My body reacts in the strangest way possible to his sudden proximity. I get goosebumps everywhere, my temperature rises and my breath and pulse quicken immediately.

»Maybe you should rethink that statement. To me, it looks like it does not take a lot to frighten you. Take a deep breath, kitten.«, he whispers in my ear.

If only I could claim that my body's reaction is based on fear...

I can feel him withdrawing and breathing feels so much easier all of a sudden...

Fuck me!
