James Weiss
James Weiss is Isabella Michaelis's stepfather. He is quite the lowlife. A deviant and selfish human being, James began dabbling in the occult to get all the things he felt the world owed him. There is nothing that he wouldn't do to fulfill his most perverse desires. He will even sell his soul to the devil.
In this case, it is Marowit that James has bargained with. Which is something Marowit despises, almost as much as he hates James. After all, being summoned by a weasel like James Weiss is about as pathetic as it gets for any self-respecting Nightmare Demon.
Excerpt.
Now, a new danger faced them. She glanced at the demon and
her heart beat faster. The creature waited for her stepfather's answer, with
noticeable, barely contained anger. His bulging muscles were taut and Isabella saw
a slight tremor ripple across the demon's powerful chest. She got the
impression he was ready to pounce.
It shocked Isabella that she liked the sight of such a well-built
male up close. Sure, he frightened her since he was a demon. Regardless
of that fact, Isabella acknowledged the appeal he exuded.
She stared in awe at him, admiring the sinuous
contours of his incredible physique. His face turned away from her, but she
decided that he had a handsome profile. For a second, a trickling
warmth ran down her belly, sending pleasant vibrations to her nether
regions. Isabella shamefully looked away from the beast and back at her
stepfather, embarrassed of her strange reaction to the demon.
James's fist tightened around Amelia's hair. He spat
on the floor where the demon knelt. That got him a warning look and a deep
growl that sped Isabella's heart rate even more. She tried to shake the weird
effect the demon seemed to have over her. Once again, she had to force herself
to avert her gaze.
James’s eyes were wild. Isabella had never seen him
this crazed. The man was undoubtedly certifiable. Still, he formed coherent
words, despite his regression.
“I’m dying. I want to change the contract!” Spittle
flew from his mouth again. The demon grimaced with irritation. Isabella heard
him growl low. It sounded threatening. She released James's robe and stumbled
back, away from them.
The demon turned and locked eyes with her. His
expression seemed curious at first but
quickly changed to anger once again. He looked away from her and bared his
fangs at James.
She forgot to breathe the moment he faced her. His
face was gorgeous, mesmerizing. This being did not resemble the deformed,
twisted, ugly hell beasts that her modest religious upbringing had taught her.
He had the proverbial horns,
dark crimson skin, and devilish red eyes, but his
countenance was more human looking than she would have guessed.
His face was more angular with symmetrically chiseled features. He
seemed almost too perfect. However, despite his handsomeness, the demon was intimidating.
He reverted his attention back to her stepfather and snarled. When he spoke,
his voice echoed with an inhuman raspy acoustic sound.
“The deal cannot be changed; die and I will come back
for you. I granted the life you wanted. Now accept your consequences.”
He faded away, prompting James to drag Amelia's limp
form and drop her at the demon’s big-clawed feet.
“No, wait!”
James pointed at Amelia's prone body. “Take her instead. She’s a virgin
and I give her to you as a sacrifice.”
The beast materialized back to his solid form. He
looked down curiosity in his eyes. Her
stepfather screeched a malicious laughter, “You want to fuck her, don’t you?”
The demon glared back at him and snarled. “Why would I
take an innocent, when you are more worthy of Hell?”
Isabella's stepfather shook all over. She saw his rage
and fears culminate into a volatile eruption of insanity. “Damn you! How can
you deny her? A pure soul is stronger than a stained one! I know your kind
makes bargains to break bargains all the time, you fucking bastard!”
In a blinding motion, the beast held her stepfather by
the neck and dangled him in midair. Damn, he was tall. Isabella's insides
twisted and her pulse quickened.
She screamed.
The demon ignored her, focusing with deadly intent on
James. “She is not a virgin!” he roared at James's face, “You try to make a
fool out of me!”
Shock masked her stepfather’s face a second before the
angry demon tightened his grip and made him sputter for air.
“What? Hey,
y-you c-can’t t-touch me...”
James’s voice was very strained and barely audible,
but Isabella was close enough to hear what they said.
The demon threw his head back and bellowed a sinister
laugh. “Pathetic fool!” He grinned devilishly. “Don't you know that you never
call a demon without proper safeguards to contain him?”
He laughed again, “Silly fucker, you summoned me
inside your protective circle!” He looked James in the eye and shook his head.
“I'm shocked you conjured me the first time without an incident.” The tone of
his voice was dry and mocking.
