The Blood Oath

The Visit

  After composing ourselves in the closet we step back into the club and Kamden orders his men to dispose of the body. My master then flicked his hand in a 'follow me' motion. We walk out of the club and into our vehicle which is waiting outside. Kamden motioned for me slide in first and then he followed, closing the door to the car and then leaning against it so he could look at me.
  Kamden was an attractive fae. He was tall and broad shouldered. With a full head of sleek raven colored hair that was always trimmed to perfection just above his ears. His skin was always tan no matter the season and his eyes were a striking green. He knew he was attractive and definitely wasn't bashful about it. He radiated power by just sitting there. In another life I could have loved a man like Kamden. He was strong and his intelligence knew no bounds he led his people well because above all he was loyal to them. He would do anything and everything to keep his people safe. But that's also what made him dangerous. He wasn't a man you wanted to cross. He was positivley ruthless when provoked.
  He spoke in a quiet voice, "You did well today Delilah. I can always count on you."
  He reached out to rub my face as he said it. Anyone looking outside in would assume he was my lover and in a way he was. But I knew my only position here was to serve him. Nothing more and while he was never cruel or abusive towards me he always made sure I knew my place.
  The rest of the drive back to Kamden's estate was quiet. Once we were inside I headed straight to my bedroom. I wanted to be alone. I peeled off my clothes and tossed them in the laundry chute and stepped into my bathroom to shower. I turned the heat as hot as it would go and waited. I looked at myself in the mirror and took in my appearance.
  I was beautiful that much I knew. I had long dark brown hair and matching eyes. I had pouty lips. My figure was slim but curved in all the right places. My breasts were not small but not large. My skin was a light tan color because of my Spanish heritage. I looked beautiful yes, but not happy.
  I will forever appreciate Kamden for the fact that he saved me. Even if he was doing it for his own benefit. But it had been a long 200 years. I served him no questions asked and I showed him unwavering loyalty. So why hasn't he released me yet? Has it not been enough? Did he feel that I had yet to repay him?
  The succubus is an ever wandering fae. Constantly searching for a new adventure and also searching for other fae to be adventurous with. The succubus are wanton creatures with a never ending need to enjoy carnal pleasures. It's in our nature to take many partners and very rarely do we find life long mates.
  I longed to be free and to do as I please. To take who I want and to feel the power a succubus feels when she makes someone submit. I had been alive for quite some time and I was a very powerful fae. But I would never be able to excersice my own will while bound to Kamden.
  With a sigh I step into the steaming shower and try to rinse away my woes. As I step out and wrap myself in a towel, my personal maid, Tabitha, knocks twice on my bathroom door and opens it. She smiles at me warmly and tells me that we are having guests and that Kamden asked her to help me find suitable attire.
  As Tabitha searches through my walk-in closet I blow dry my hair and think to myself. Kamden hates guests coming without advance notice. But he's going to entertain these visitors anyway. Even at this late hour. It was after midnight. I have to admit I'm intrigued. I look over as Tabitha comes out of my closet with a simple but elegant knee length dress. It's a dusty pink with full length, lace sleeves. This is more than just a quick visit if I have to dress up. My curiosity is officially peeked.
  "Tabitha, who are these guests that Kam is expecting?"
  She shakes her head and replies, "I'm not sure Miss Delilah but he seemed to want everything in tip top shape."
  She motions for me to sit at my vanity and does my hair in an elegant side bun and leaves me to put on my make up. I don't put on too much as I have never been a fan. I get up and put on the white heels Tabitha has picked out for and then she tells me I am to make my way to the dining room. I give her a wave and go about my way.
  When I reach the dining room Kamden is already sitting at the table sipping on what looks like burbon looking rather impatient. He's dressed in a navy button down, a tie, and black slacks. Could it be that we are getting a visit from the Council? That's the only explanation.
  The Council is a group of the oldest and most repsected members of the fae community. The Council was assembled to keep order and to make decisions regarding the fae community when a king or queen is deemed unfit to rule. They can't just remove a king or queen but they have the authority to intervene if necessary.
  I look at Kamden and nod as I pull up a chair at the table. He takes a sip of his drink and then offers me a glass which I accept. "The Council is on its way with some important news." Says Kam. Just as I thought.
  "What could be so important that they would need to come at this hour and so unexpectedly?"
  "I'm not sure. But they requested that you be present." He replied as the  head guard, Amir, announces that the Council has arrived. I sit at the table shocked. They asked for me?
  Why does this trouble me?
