The evening sun casted it's warm glow on us as we walked to my apartment. 

I replayed all that happened in the past few days and sighed before smiling. 

Yes, I accidentally conjured a demon into my apartment but it's not so bad on most parts.

"Hey dude, what's this by the way?" I asked pointing to a sigil like tattoo that I had noticed on my wrist. 

"It's the mark of our pact." He said as he gazed up to the evening sky. 

I caught myself staring at his side profile, the noise and buzz around me fading into the background. 

When I snapped out of it, his gaze was now on me and my name on his lips.

"Hey, human!" He said snapping his fingers in my face When I snapped back he asked "Where did you fly to?" his eyebrows raised. 

"Nowhere, continue and it's Noah for crying out loud" 

He continued, "As I said human, the mark also has other functions if you may."

I turned to him with the feeling that he's going to say something I would definitely not like.

"Welllllllllllll it kind of like a tether, it binds us together."

"How so?" I asked now very much convinced that I'll not like what comes out of his mouth next.

"It… agrh okay as long as the pact remains active, you and I can't be separated past a certain distance" He said and flinched,

I stood there with a deadpan look as he made a desperate attempt to hide his face with his shoulders.

"How many meters?" I sighed

"Huh?" He asked and the anger I was trying to suppress threatened to burst out, something about him makes me angry almost immediately.

"The tether! How many meters are we allowed to be separated from each other dimwit?" 

"Oh" He said as he perked up and dropped his hands "Well I'm not too sure, this stuff is pretty rare. Most pacts are mostly bonds, you know the usual I don't hurt you, you don't betray me and complete your work type shit, never tethers. But hey, that just means we are compatible, huh?" 

He said as he winked at me but noticing my unamused expression he dropped it and faced the street guiltily.

I continued to make my way to my apartment, I guess he noticed and started shouting my name "Hey humannnnnn! You're leaving me? Are you that pissed?" 

"Stop screaming for God's sake and catch up we need to get to my apartment and check the restrictions you've placed on me. And. It. Is. Noah!!"

"Me?!? I'm a victim just as you are!"

"Oh please" "Did- did you just whip me with your locks?"

"Hmph, yes I'm hurt"

"You cranky demon!"

"Kael stop it!!"

*************************************

"Okay, so what now?" Kael asked.

After we made it to my apartment without me ripping his dreadlocks out, the demon decided to slouch on the couch leading me to yank him by the said locks off it.

I surveyed a now cleared section of my apartment before deciding "Okay, let's start from here, on my mark let's go opposite directions at the same time" 

Kael just gave me a lazy thumbs up and I nodded. "Now!"

We gradually put space between one another, we passed the markings I put in place and around 7ft I felt something, stopping me in my tracks.

It felt like a thought, a desire, a want to be closer to be near him.

"Do you feel that?" Kael asked snapping me out of my thoughts, I looked up to see him also standing in place. The feeling to be closer to him grew, but I resisted.

I shook my head in an attempt to clear it "Yes"

"I feel like I want, I need to be near you. It's bloody annoying"

"I feel it too but we can't give in, let's keep moving" He sighed and nodded.

As we moved past 7ft mark the feeling grew intense, I pressed my teeth together and tightened my fists pushing my self further unable check on Kael.

As I passed the 10ft mark through sheer willpower, a strong force yanked me back and I landed on top of a painting Kael.

His warm breath fanned my next, his body heat warming me up. His body scent fanned me, a strong yet warm scent of charred herbs, intoxicating yet homey. 

I unconsciously relaxed my weight and leaned in to get more of that scent but his voice broke the atmosphere

"When do you plan to get off me? If you don't, well I won't complain I know I'm irresistible" He said, his voice smug 

I stood up my voice laced with embarrassment and anger "As if, you are plan annoying" 

"Well some part of you begs to differ" He said pointing to my hardened crotch which I had failed to notice in my embarrassment.

I felt colour drain from my face in shame as he burst out in to loud unristrianed laughter and I bolted out of the room in shame.

That f*cking demon!!!!!
