Yes, this was the perfect existence.

“So, the barrier is restored?” Rai asked.
I nodded. “They took care of it while you and Monique were still sleeping.”
Rai nodded. “Is this everything?” he asked me as he looked at my clothes hanging up in the closet that was once his, was now ours.
“Everything I wanted to keep. I ended my lease.”
Rai half snorted, half laughed. “You were paying a lease?”
I smirked. “I’m not a demon who can use persuasion to fool a human into believing whatever I want them to,” I said.
Rai sighed and nodded. “Ahhh, yes, to have that power. The Whisper.”
“Yeah, I know. I wished I did.”
“I just thought you’d threatened the landlord or that you owned it,” Rai said with a shrug.
“I can’t harm innocent humans. Over the past century, I’ve been a good boy, baby,” I said seductively.
Rai turned to me then and gave me one of those looks of his. The kind that called to my cock and made me want to submit to him. “You better have been.”
Ahhh, he was so butch. I loved it.
“I’m going to shower,” Rai said.
“I’ll join you.”
“I won’t be long.”
“Oh, we can be quick,” I flirted and he had that “aha” moment when he finally caught on.
“Monique is in the living room,” Rai stated.
“And as long as we keep our voices down, she will never know,” I said with a wide grin. I walked over to him and kissed him as I slowly backed Rai up into the bathroom. I kicked the door closed behind us.

“Took a long time in there,” Monique teased as she opened the box of the large pizza. She sat across from Rai and me in the living room as she bit into her slice of pizza. Rai reached into the carton and pulled out two large slices of supreme pizza and placed them on his plate.
“Mind your business,” Rai said with a smirk.
Monique chuckled. “Just saying.” She looked at me as I lounged on the sofa next to Rai. “Are you going to eat?” she asked me.
I looked at the pizza, then leaned over, took a slice, and put it on a plate. “I don’t really have to eat, but I do enjoy human food.”
Monique frowned. “If you don’t eat food, what do you eat?”
Rai looked at me, both eyebrows raised like he wanted to see how I’d respond to the question.
I chuckled. “Not humans if that’s what you’re worried about. I’m well-fed because humans kill each other on a daily basis. Food, like this, is what I suppose you could call an indulgence.” I took a bite of my slice and it was very flavorful.
“Wait, what? You feed off murder?” Monique asked as she stared at me all wide-eyed.
I nodded. “It’s how I’m so powerful. It’s how I was created. Violence is human nature, make no mistake. There will never be world peace, because there will always be greed. Whether it’s greed for power, money, another man’s woman, the list goes on. Someone always wants to be in control and humans always want a leader. They even kill in the name of God, so yes, my dear... I’m well fed.”
