Loretta had almost forgotten how handsome her otherworldly master was. She had seen him much more in the beginning after she had first struck her bargain with him, but ever since she had been trained in how to use her demonic magic and how to sever souls from their bodies, she hardly saw the master. She had forgotten how surprisingly comforting he felt, though she should’ve remembered because she had given everything to keep it after they had first met.<br/><br/>“<b>I bet you say that to all your pets,</b>” she playfully remarked as he stroked her cheeks. Her eyelids were heavy as she fell into his trance. She was a willing participant; she could only imagine how powerful the devil’s caress was to someone who resisted.<br/><br/>“<b>I am well. Thank you for this vessel, she’s lovely,</b>” she answered him, moving the few inches it took to kiss his unusually hot skin. Her own words to him were just as sweet as his. “<b>I hope you’ve found the others I’ve emptied helpful.</b>” When she consumed souls for energy, she left their bodies in tact and a susceptible to possession. It was only when she corrupted them that they remained in tact and ready to serve the evil will of their new master.
