Blood and sex."

"What?!" I shot straight up from the chair, staggering backward until my back hit the table.

"Oh..The look on you face is sooo priceless!" Fuxal laughed, clearly enjoying the horrified look on my face as a stare back at him, letting his words sink in my shocked brain. "But it's true, Blood and sex. Demons thrive on both and bonded demons need that more than the others because of the way that the Mortal Realm saps energy from Underworld beings."

Blood and sex.

What did I get myself into?

I should have listened to Ana's warning about any attempt on summoning.

I should have returned that blasted book back from where I found it.

Blood, sex and demons

Those combinations bring nothing in my mind except gory scenarios of pain, blood and torture or I’m reading too much fantasy novel.

Gosh, I wished Grandma taught me something or anything on sorcery. I wished she didn't choose to keep me safe by refusing my request to learn sorcery or just the basic of those things.

Now, I'm facing the consequence of her choice, and my ignorance and curiosity.

"I.. I thought.. You..demons always bargain for the soul of the mortal for any wish they granted. What does.. Blood and sex have to do with it?" I stammered, choking out the last sentence.

I'm used to blood, giving to the fact that I'm a veterinarian but sex is a topic that I’m most uncomfortable with.

I'm not naïve about the subject but having an overly protective father and religious mother along with a very sheltered life in Spain, I grow up believing that marriage comes first before sex and having sex with a demon is clearly never a topic in our family.

" Oh, the soul thingy. Souls are priced commodity in Underworld, a much sought item actually and as I mentioned before, lower caste demons can easily trick unsuspecting summoner in making them believe that 'they' are what the summoner summoned and poor, unsuspecting mortal unknowingly bartered their soul in exchange for menial task that can be easily paid by blood and sex or other favors."

The information flooding in my mind is a bit too much and I'm glad that I'm used on knowing  bits of supernatural things thru Grandma, Ana and from the books in the library or I will surely be driven to insanity.

But..

Does it mean that If I didn't order Thallan to do something for me then he won't take my soul or blood?

But.

But he still needs to 'feed' and that means that if he stays with me I need to regularly give him blood.

Come to think of it. I can still give Thallan blood without him biting me like some sort of vampire. I can use needle and syringe for that sort of job, I'm a veterinarian afterall.

But, do I really want Thallan to stay with me?

It might sound crazy but I'm already used to his presence as well as those of the imps and somehow, they managed to chase the away the melancholy and pain of my loved ones death.

After Grandma’s death, Uncle Louie asked me to live with him and his current girlfriend but I refused. Living with Uncle Louie, seeing all the things that my mother had touched, things that she had made, the memories of her in their family home are a very painful reminder of a great family that I had lost.
