that’s fine, but lemme fix your misconceptions. One, you’re a royal, so am I. Nothing wrong with bringing you with me to anything I have to do. Second, we could make an arrangement. You’re right, I’m not really a tie down kinda guy, but must needs.” He grinned.
    “And as for the rug rats, not possible. Entering into a 100 year binding with a Djinn renders both parties sterile for the duration. Who wants a child to spoil the fun?”
    H e finished his drink and then got up and grabbed the bottle and poured himself another dram. “It’s all your choice Demon.”
    "Ok." she held her breath. "I like the idea of an arrangement. We get on reasonably well and it’s not like I'll be moving in. We'll carry on the way we are and occasionally I'll pop in for some creative sex. There’s no hardship there. Not to mention the wishes.”
    “Well by arrangement I was thinking we spend some quality time spending my money gambling around the world. We can set it up so you can go where you want, but don’t be surprised if I just pop in for that aforementioned, ‘creative sex’.”
    "Pop in any time you like and I have my own money to spend though your s will come in handy. So how does it work?"
    Caleb leaned towards her and took another sip on his scotch. “How do most things happen? Sex my dear lovely demon. Wild, animalistic sex where you end up bound to me for 100 years.”
    "Mmmmm well that I am looking forward to." she finished her drink in one gulp setting it down moving flush against him. "When do we get to that?"
    “Just as soon as we get to open water. We have two days till we have to be back for the tourney… by then you will be well satisfied, bound to me irrevocably and no one can change that. Any idea on what you plan to wish for, you know, aside from getting that fucking thing off your wrist?”
    "If I word it right I can cover the cuff and the betrothal in one so that gives me two wishes to play with. Any suggestions?" 
    “ On two more wishes? Or wording?” he asked and pulled her to him.
    She kissed up his chin hands exploring him. "Wishes. Although the wordings important." she pulled away to look at him. "While we’re at it, Wishmaster’s just a stupid unfactual film right?”
    “My cousin says it’s the most hilarious drivel Wes Craven has ever come up with. I say there’s parts the king of horror got right, but we aren’t malevolent and we aren’t trying to enslave humanity.”
    "Sounds fair." she took his glass setting it next to her empty one then pushed him back on the chair straddling him.
    Caleb smirked and looked down the length of her body, her curves hugged perfectly in her form fitting dress. “Ooh you’re a tiger aren’t you?”
    "I've never had any complaints." she toyed with the buttons with his shirt. "I bite too but then so do you I'm sure."
    “I should hope not.” He pulled her clo se, his hands going into her hair and kissed her.
    “I hope you are ready for this pet.” He said in a growl.
    "Oh yes very."
    “So quickly your tune changes. No matter, this is what we bet on isn’t it?” he grinned and then kissed her again. His hands slipped from her hair to her waist and he cupped her bottom and stood.
    " Who said I changed my mind? I wanted you last night... and the time before that. Seeing you last night just added fuel to the fire.."
    “Did it?” He grinned and nipped her bottom lip.
    Caleb took her to the deck. The fresh ocean air was cool on their bodies, and carried the floral scents of the small garden island to the west of them. The stars above them were bright, unobscured by the lights of the now far off mainland. They were in open water, which was where they needed to be. Nothing could touch them there. No demons could reach them, especially with no lay lines in the vicinity.
    His hands left her rump and she tightened her thighs around his waist. His fingers trailed upwards, skimming the material of her dress and then the skin of her upper back.
    “Demon,
