A Dance With The Devil (A Sylus - Love and Deepspace Fanfiction)

Black Market

I wake up in the morning and Sylus wasn't there. He left me a text on my phone.

Hey [your name], some work stuff came up. Tonight is date number 2 and I have an amazing surprise planned for you

I read the text from Sylus, feeling a mix of excitement and curiosity. I wonder what he has planned for tonight's date and what the surprise could be. I can't help but feel a flutter of anticipation in my chest as I think about spending more time with him. I rolled over to see Mephisto sitting on the railing of the bed. 

"Good morning, Mephisto," I said to him.

Mephisto tilted his head and let out a low, mechanical chip in response. He hopped down from the railing and onto the bed, his mechanical wings fluttering slightly. I decided to respond to Sylus on my phone.

Another surprise...please tell me Ava won't be at this one

Sylus replied quickly, his message filled with amusement.

Don't worry, Kitten. Ava won't be there. This surprise is just for you. I promise

What should I wear? And when are you picking me up?

For 2nite, wear something formal and elegant. I'll pick u up at 7pm sharp. Don't worry about the details, I've got everything planned

😘

I sent to him and rolled over wondering where he was taking me. Sylus smiled as he read my texts, his excitement growing. He couldn't wait to see me in formal attire and to take me to the surprise location. He knew I would be impressed with what he had planned. 

I called Luke and Kieran.

"Boys? Date number two is a go. Can you bring me some formal evening outfits to try on?" I asked them. 

Luke and Kieran both pick up the phone, their voices filled with excitement. 

"Sure thing, boss. We'll bring you some options to try on," said Luke. 

"A few outfits? You must be really going all out for this date," Kieran said. 

"I like choices, what can I say. Plus I know Sylus can afford it," I said. 

"You're not wrong there. Sylus has more money than he knows what to do with," Kieran said. 

"Don't worry, we'll make sure you look absolutely stunning for your date. We'll be there soon," Luke said. 

I hung up the phone and closed my eyes, beginning to dream about the life Sylus could give me. He could give me anything I could ever want or ask for. He was almost like a prince, if princes killed people that is. 

As I dream, my thoughts drift to the possibilities of being with Sylus. I imagine a life filled with luxury, power, and affection. I know that he had a dark side, but I can't help but be drawn to him nonetheless. I wonder if I could handle the darkness that comes with being with him, but I also knew that I can't resist the allure of his charm and power. 

"He doesn't need to be completely turned to the light. I think he can exist in a grey area, but I'll do my best to save him from the darkness," I mumbled to Mephisto.

Mephisto tilted his head again, listening to my words. He chirped softly in response, as if understanding my thoughts and intentions. He knew that I cared deeply for Sylus and wanted to help him find balance between his darkness and his humanity. 

"Mephisto? Can I ask you something?" 

Mephisto looked at me with his mechanical eyes, his head tilted with curiosity. He chipped again, indicating that he is listening and ready to answer my question.
