A Cold Day in Hell (An Erotic Paranormal Short Story) Read online

  Dara started to cry, the tears freezing to delicate, sparkling lace on her skin.

  “You look beautiful in pain and covered with frost.” The demon’s tone was appreciative. For the first time she noticed that an ice phallus, so similar to those in the cave, rustled coldly against its massive, rocky thighs.

  Not an it, then. A he.

  She tried to control the tremble in her smile, to stand straighter despite the cold. “Please. I beg you. Please let me go. I’ll do anything you want.”

  The massive head shook slowly side to side, but the harsh tone was oddly tender now. “It’s beyond my power. Once you’ve worked through the cave – if you ever work through it – I will be your last test. Then I may find relief from this hell of my own. I’m sure you can understand that I have a deep and personal interest in seeing you succeed. I plan to find many ways to…encourage you.” The leer returned. “And I can promise you that I am not easily satisfied. This cave is your practice.”

  A scream, hopeless and tinged with madness, tore from her raw throat. “I can’t do this!”

  The ice-gray eyes met hers with cold fire behind them. “Yes, you can, and you will. Because there’s no rest for the wicked,” he said.
