Chapter 66 | Complications

"Come in!" Ryan called to the door.

Angela peaked her head in, replying, "I've just come to change your sheets, if that's alright."

"Um, yeah. It's fine." He stood up from the bed to allow her access. "I should go take a shower anyways."

She set down a laundry basket on the floor, of which was now empty after she'd taken it's contents to the washroom. In her other hand rested a clean set of sheets. She set them down on the dresser, glancing back at Ryan. Something didn't seem right about him. Usually he'd be much more flirty than this. Maybe he was just tired, she tried to reason with herself.

"Are you feeling alright?" Angela hesitantly asked.

"Huh? Um, yeah. I've just got a bit of a headache." He replied. 

"I could get you some Aspirin, if you'd like."

"No, it's fine." Ryan replied while unbuttoning his shirt, "I'm sure a warm shower will help clear my head. I'll be fine."

People who are fine don't say the word twice, she thought. Being that he was now her superior, she had to be respectful. She couldn't press him even if she was tempted to do so. Angela decided it was best just to do her job. She began to pull back the comforter of the bed. As she was leaned over, Ryan looked over to her. 

She was a perfect woman. Her body was stunning, she was attentive and obedient with just the right amount of attitude. Any man would want her. Previously, he had no problem fucking her into next week. Now, when he looked at her, he felt nothing. He wouldn't believe it. Ryan refused to believe that after five hundred years of being with women, his mind was just automatically going to reject them.

Angela could feel him staring. She glanced back at him just in time to see him push her back onto the bed. The two fell backwards, lips colliding. He knew she wouldn't give a fuck, and right now he needed to give his brain a reminder that he liked women. She wrapped her arms around his neck, deepening their kiss. It may have been turning her on but it didn't seem to do a damn thing to him.

Ryan took a break to catch his breath. He rested his head against her shoulder, his hands tracing down her body. It was actually starting to make him sick. Feeling her curves, her breasts, his stomach turned. He knew there was no way his mind just one day switched sexuality. It was Asher; He had to have done something to him. There's no way this would happen naturally.

He pushed back from her and left her in a confused state. As Ryan walked away, he angrily punched the wall, leaving a hole in it. Great, she thought, he'd left her dazed and now she'd have to tell Jasper there's a hole in his manor. He won't be happy to hear that and he's the kill the messenger type.

The next morning, Joy was delighted with the news that she was finally getting her own privacy. She thanked the Master greatly, figuring it was about time. Especially after what Apollo had done to her, she deserved a reward. The poor thing did almost die and suffered a great deal of pain thanks to one of his spider bites. Unfortunately, someone else was not enjoying it as much as her.  

Friday tugged one of her fur shawls away from her, whining, "No, you can't go!"

Joy grabbed it back, stomping out of the room. "Look, it's not like I'm moving to another realm or something. I'm just going across the hall. I'll literally be ten steps away from you." 

"I don' care! That's still too far!" She pouted and hugged her stuffed kitty closer to her chest, "Joy, I don' wanna sleep alone."

"We all have to grow up sometime. You'll be fine. You're never sleeping alone, okay? Just because I'm in a different room, doesn't mean you'll be alone."
