A Dangerous Game - Ch. 2
Hey guys, I got something for youā¦I hope youāre gonna like itā¦
Ten years. No more, no less. But now the clock has run out, and itās time to negotiate a new deal with the King of Hell.

And dare to come down to me

My pulse was too quick to count the beats and my head was spinning out of control. Crowley smiled at me one more time and grabbed hold of my wrist, and then we wereā¦gone. There was a brief moment when I ceased to exist as a being unto myself, my corporeal form dissolving into the fabric of space, then I was whole again. Though when I looked around me, I wasnāt in my living room anymore. I wasnāt sure what I expected Hell to look like, but it certainly wasnāt this. The penthouse suites in the high rise hotels Iād spent my last week in werenāt as swanky as this.
We were in a foyer with marble-tiled flooring that gave way to gleaming hardwood and plush carpets. It looked to be part reception hall, part sitting room, lounge seating at one end and an elegant piano at the other. The walls were hung with art; on closer look, the paintings and photos were either familiar pieces with slight corruptions or, in some cases, the originals themselves, and I could only guess how those ended up in Crowleyās collection. The far wall was nothing but glass, a wide, seamless window with curtains pulled back to reveal a distorted view outside, though on our arrival Crowley snapped his fingers and the curtains drew shut.
āItās aā¦nice place you have here,ā I commented lightly, trying not to sound scared or eager.
āIt pays to be in charge, love,ā he told me. He slid off his overcoat and flung it onto a coat stand I was quite sure hadnāt been there the entire time, hands sliding into his pockets as he strolled farther into the room. The arrogance that usually surrounded him had shifted. He emanated power, grace, control, and the danger he accused me of craving. Seeing the change that came over him as soon as we stepped into his domain, I had to admit how right he was, though it didnāt stop the fear stirring inside me. Here, he was in control, and he could do whatever he wanted to me.
āNow, then,ā he said, turning to look at me, still standing agape in the foyer, āwhy donāt we see how well you negotiate?ā
