Author’s Note -- This freebie was written for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
spook_me’s Halloween 2013 round for the prompt of ‘demon’ and this wonderful tarot card which, no lie, gave me the whole idea for this story. 
Honestly, I meant this to be a much shorter story (being a freebie and all) and hoped to have a little more polish on it before the deadline, but the paying gig got in the way (not a bad thing). It’s in the same 1930s urban fantasy universe as Snowbound (In Dreamspinner Press’s anthology Necking) and the novella (also with Dreamspinner), The Darkest Midnight in December which can be found here, along with other stories if you liked this one and wanted to see others. This story is roughly 4,900 words and believe it or not, is not erotica. It's entirely work safe except for the mention of two men on the bed in the very last scene but they're just talking.
