Summary
Norton wasn’t sure exactly what to expect when Orpheus had summoned him to his quarters this time. Normally, these invitations meant another list of errands, or another set of obscure tasks dressed up in Orpheus’s maddeningly poetic instructions. The man seemed to be making sure he was wringing every last ounce of value out of what he paid Norton, that much was clear by now.
Admittedly, this time had felt different. Norton wasn’t stupid; he’d caught the implication the moment Orpheus’s voice dipped to that oddly low tone, meant to perfectly match the look in his eyes when he’d promised Norton he’d be “generously rewarded” after his last job. Norton could’ve seen what he was doing even if he’d been blind. A damned succubus in a suit, that’s what he was. Should’ve been warning enough.
