The Devil in Me

The Devil in Me Ch. 18

Chapter Eighteen:

Shay:

My brain hurts.

Even after sleeping, it hurt to think.

I couldn't bring myself to sign it.

I needed more time to think about it.

Even Jody wasn't sure by the time she was done reading.

This sucked. I just wanted to spend time with him.

I didn't like the idea of being watched either. Why did they need to see it? Why couldn't they just monitor vitals like the rings do?

On top of that, there was another condition I wasn't too fond of.

We would have to come in when they called, to test the boundaries of our Devils.

I didn't like the sound of that.

I hated the idea of it, actually.

As if being around us sometimes wasn't hard enough, now you want to throw in that kind of stuff?

Who were the real Devils?

I shook my head at the thought.

I was grateful. That alone surprised me.

To feel thankful despite the shitty treatment.

It was strange to even think it.

Shame also filled me when I thought about it.

I shouldn't think about doing naughty things with him. We just met.

I feel it, though. There was this insane connection.

Maybe it is just a physical response, like pheromones and stuff.

I felt like an idiot for suggesting it.

What if he wanted me to sign the papers?

Clearly, he thought about doing that kind of stuff. His reaction to my nipple piercings was pretty... intense.

I felt the heat in my cheeks every time I thought about it.

Sure I've been felt up before, but that was different.

It was like he felt it when he touched me.

It was a theory I would very much enjoy testing in the future.

If we even had one.

My phone went off, scaring me.

I had to rush to the charger on the stand next to my bed.

"Hello?"

"Shay," my brother Andre said, "I won't be able to make it on time tonight, can you get the boys?"

I frowned.

"Yeah, I can get them."

"Thank you," he said quickly, "Sorry, I have to go."

I could hear someone call his name in the background.

It sounded like his partner.

He hung up the phone before I could say anything to him.

Damn it.

Truth be told, I had been avoiding talking to Eileen.

I checked the time on my phone, and I frowned again.

5:48 PM.

I should leave soon.

It didn't take long for me to get myself ready.
