I came back to his car as he drove us to my apartment. I was worried for Miory. I knew she was a powerful devil but as Callahan said the enemy might be stronger than her or equal to her powers.

"Where is she staying?" I asked.

"To her contracted soul's house."

"That actor, David's?!" Damn! She was lucky...or he was lucky or whatever it was.

"Seems so."

"Will she be safe?" If the enemy was as powerful as she was, I doubt David could hardly make her safe. He was a human after all.

"Well, I have told her that if something seems suspicious, call me right away."

I nodded.

"And what did you tell me about something that happened in hell?" I recalled him saying something about Hell. I was a little curious since I hardly saw Callahan agitated. He had always maintained his cool and he rarely got furious. But whatever was going on must be deep since I could feel the tension sipping out of him.

"Oh! A small object was missing from our library's ancient equipment." He said and he seemed to be thinking about something as his face turned serious.

"Was it an important object?"

"Not particularly but stealing under my nose, it is a big offense to me." He said almost clenching his jaw as if his ego as the general was hurt.

"By the way," Callahan said, his eyes were still on the road, "I liked that shirt."

Colors appeared on my face as I fiddled my fingers on my shorts. "You're welcome." When did he see it?

He glanced at me and said, "Also, that outfit looks good on you. You should wear more clothes like these." He gave a smile before turning his eyes back to the road.

"Yeah. Miory chose it."

He nodded as we reached. He parked the car as we both came out of it. We reached our apartment and I felt he stiffened beside me. I was about to open the door but he held my hand and yanked me toward his chest. His cautious eyes looked at the door and they turned hollow. Worry came crashing on me as I looked at the door but I could hardly see anything other than the hard wood.

I assumed he was trying to look through the door as his gaze stayed on it for a minute and his jaw muscles clenched.

He opened the door immediately after that and kept me behind him. As the door opened we saw Gretarioth was strolling around the dining space.

As soon as their eyes met, Gretarioth smiled. "Hello, brother. I was beginning to think you weren't coming back from hell."

"And you get a chance to steal her from me?" Callahan's grip on my hand tightened as his voice grew harsh. It almost sounded as if he hissed.

"Well that could be amusing to play around with your little human." He smiled devilishly as Gretarioth's eyes turned exactly like Callahan. And as if they were ready to pounce at each other.

"Why are you always here?" Callahan asked as his grip almost hurt me that I had to stifle a moan that was about to come out from my mouth.

"Just sensed something unusual from here." Gretarioth shrugged as Callahan's brows knitted on his forehead.

"I can sense it too." He said.

Gretarioth began, "Someone was surely here because these traits are..."

"Exactly like the traits from Miory's house..." Callahan finished as both of their eyes darkened.

"So, in short, it wasn't one of from Miory's enemies?" I asked as I peeked from behind Callahan.

Both of their eyes turned toward me as gaps formed in their mouths. The tension they had numbed a little as I interrupted.

"Damn! She literally can understand us." Amusement danced on Gretarioth's face.

"So, you guys switched languages?" I asked and my eyes moved between them.

"Yes." Callahan said, "but this time you are speaking in the language as well."

"What? No! I am speaking in Eng-" then I heard my own voice and it sounded as if I was talking in a snake tongue. I gasped.

I looked at Callahan with a horrified face and his face turned grim.

"Am I-am I possessed or something? Or maybe I am a born demon that I didn't know?" I panicked and Callahan lightened the iron grip he had on me and stroked on my hand as it calmed me down a little. I noticed my language switched back to English again.

"No. As far as I can see, you aren't possessed because I am the only one who can do that to you." He said and somehow I felt relieved.

"And you are not a demon either." Gretarioth said as his eyes washed over me.

"So what is happening then?" I asked.

"That is not the main concern now." Callahan said and I was about to lecture him on that but he diverted the conversation. "We need to find out who is this that keeps coming here and trying to harm my subjects."

"Or maybe they want to harm you?" Gretarioth shrugged again as the corners of his lips curled up. "You do have a lot of enemies though."

Callahan scoffed. "Let him come then. I haven't fought for centuries. I am beginning to get bored here."

"Well, if they try to kill you I'd be happy to help then." Gretarioth said with a small bow.

"Suit yourself."

"Aren't you guys brothers?" I crashed into them again because they were brothers! How could they even think of killing each other?!

Both of them gave me a look and Gretarioth said, "I am going back. I have heard enough." And he vanished immediately as if I had just insulted him.

As soon as he left, Callahan announced, "Alright. From today I'm going to stay here with you."

"Okay. Where will you sleep?" Since I had only one bedroom and that too had one bed, I looked at the couch which could hardly fit him since he was very tall.

"On your bed."

"Okay..." I said and immediately realized what he just said. "Wait! What?! No!"

"Why not?" He looked down at me with furrowed brows but his eyes had turned back to the green ones.

"Because I am unmarried!"

He rolled his eyes. "I have seen you naked."

"You did that to check the mark!"

"Whatever. But we are sleeping together and that's final!" He said as he placed all the shopping bags on the couch.

"Then I will put a pillow in between us." I said warily.

"Do whatever you want." He said as he went to the bedroom and after some inspection, he went to the bathroom. He inspected every corner of the apartment and when he found nothing unusual then his tense posture subsided.

He sighed and looked at me. "Alright. Do you wanna eat something?"

I was about to say burrito when he warned, "Say burrito and I will shove all the white sauce on your mouth."

"I- fine. Anything you make I will eat it." I nodded.

"Good."

After our dinner, where we didn't mention anything about burritos, we came to the bedroom.

I wore my night gown that reached my mid thighs as for Callahan, he only wore loose trousers. No shirt or any t-shirt.

"Wear a t- shirt at least!" I threw a pillow at him which he caught in the air with one hand and placed it on the bed.

"I feel more comfortable without wearing anything. Do you want me to take off my trousers as well?" He challenged.

I gasped and shook my head frantically. He smirked.

I laid down on the bed and put a pillow between us and he hopped on the bed as well, rocking the bed under his weight. Butterflies flattered on my belly as I had never shared my bed with a man before but tonight, it was Callahan. The man I fell hard for. My heart thumped loudly and I was scared he might listen because his senses were extraordinary.

"Do devils need to sleep?" I asked, diverting my weird thoughts.

He placed one hand under his head and the other one on his belly where I could see his bulging muscles on his biceps. I bit my bottom lip. No! I was gawking at him and he would find out and would start to tease me.

"Well, not necessarily." He said, "but we do need some cool-off time."

I hummed and scolded myself to act like a proper lady because my eyes kept glancing at his abs, biceps, chest and lord knows where.

"So, nobody would come as long as you are here?" I asked and he moved his body toward me as he laid on his sides and my treacherous eyes peeked at his flexing muscles. No! It can't keep going!

"Well, if they value their life." He said looking at my eyes so intensely, my breath hitched.

"Sleep without any worry, Carson, I am here." He assured me and it was enough to put me at ease but the main thing was, because he was here with me on my bed, I found myself restless.

"I won't let anyone touch you." He said, making my heart skip a beat. Then he added, which made my heart go bonkers, "Because I am the only one who can have you."
