Sumire exhales deeply. To think she almost said something so dangerous. If she truly ended up saying those words, it would have been bad for them both. It would have agitated the beast inside of him.
He did say he would be in his study. Sumire peeked her head down another hallway. This place is larger than she thought it was.
Double doors, and a golden handle. After walking for a few minutes, Sumire eventually found it and peeked her head through the door. The bond between them tugged, confirming that Lucifer was here. She stepped into the room.
At a glance she couldn't see him but when she walked further inside, she found him.
Lucifer stood shirtless against the balcony railing, and a fully naked woman stood beside him. She felt her blood boil at the sight. Despite the nudity of the other women, Sumire could tell that the two hadn't done anything. But, it still bothered her.
'Mine, he is mine. All mine.'
Sumire growled and Lucifer's gaze met hers.
"Get out." Lucifer suddenly said.
Right, of course he has his mistresses in this life time. How could she have been so stupid to think he would still remain faithful to her? She definitely misunderstood the desire she felt for him. Sumire turned to walk away.
lightsnοvεl "Not you Norah love. You stay." Lucifer called out.
Sumire couldn't miss the tenderness in his tone and she sighs in relief. It's okay. When Jacks told her about the harem and the other women, she felt slightly unsettled. But, understood what the circumstances were.
He turned to the pink haired woman. "You, out."
"Just because you have a wife doesn't mean we can't have fun."
Sumire's gaze dimmed. If she even thinks about moving her filthy hands down, she will break--- The woman's gaze met hers, taunting her and the moment that woman's hand made contact with Lucifer's lower body, she snapped.
Before Lucifer could react, Sumire was faster. She was by his side in seconds. The pink haired woman's arm was no longer attached to her body but lay on the ground.
"Aaaaaahhhhhhh! my arm, my arm--"
Lucifer chuckled. "There you are."
Sumire walked over to him and takes out her handkerchief. "You're too careless Lex. You have no idea how evil women can be, rather I'm sure I told you before."
"Of course, but what if I like violent women?'
"Then those women of yours will be losing more than their hands." Sumire looked at the girl weathering in pain with disgust. "It's dirty here, take me somewhere else?'
Lucifer nodded and scooped her up in a princess carry and exited the room. Sumire didn't say anything to him and just watched his expression. She wants to understand what circumstances lead to him
Deciding that the room was further away. Lucifer brought her to what looked like another study. The moment he placed her down, she attacked him. Hungry lips at his neck, seeking to claim what is hers, what has always been hers.
"Norah, my love."
"I'm punishing you." Sumire snapped.
Lucifer chuckled. "I wouldn't have let that continue. Surely you know how faithful I am."
"I know." Sumire parted her lips from his neck. "It's just, Lex. We haven't been together in two centuries. You must have had other women. According to this new body, you had other wives." She said that last part quietly.
Jacks explained to her the reason why, and she understood. She did. Lucifer married those women to strengthen his ties with his people, and these women fulfilled the requirements Jacks mentioned. It hurt, but she does get it.
"Yes, that is true." Lucifer caressed her hair. "However, while I may have taken other lovers. None of them can compare to you."
"I know this is stupid--"
Lucifer shakes his head. "I understand. You're just trying to catch up with everything."
"When my memories merge with this body Norah may truly disappear." Sumire mumbled.
Lucifer frowned. "Don't speak like that."
"But, this feels like a lie."
"Norah, please. I just got you back. Don't talk about going away." Lucifer pleaded.
"I know, I'm sorry for being so silly. This is still me regardless. The past two life times I've had to endure the transition alone. So I'm a bit uneasy."
"Nothing shall go wrong."
"Alright. Let's not speak about this. Aren't you supposed to be busy?"
"That was an excuse. I thought I'd allow you to rest."
Sumire immediately knew what he was avoiding. "Before night?"
Lucifer chuckled. "I have so many plans for you on our bed Norah."
Sumire rolled her eyes. "Those plans of yours can wait. I was thinking of continuing the research I was conducting before our lives ended. This region, is close to where our home use to be right?"
Although she hasn't seen much of the outside parts of the manor yet. She can tell, otherwise Lucifer wouldn't have built his base here.
"It's not safe." Lucifer said with a frown.
Sumire frowned. "I'm not weak."
"I know how strong you are Norah. But the people after the current you aren't normal. Didn't you see the people in the courtyard? Even bound, they were trying to harm you."
Indeed, if Mashima Toh didn't step into the courtyard then. Lucifer would have certainly lost control and caused mass slaughter.
"Fine. But tonight, I'm in charge."
Lucifer gave a low dark sensual chuckle down her ear and she shuddered in anticipation. His hands slipped on the slit on her robe.
Sumire tilted her head. "What are we doing?"
Lucifer picks her up and she wraps her legs around his waist as he walks her over to the desk. He gently places her down. "You look ready for me already."
"Why wouldn't I be?" Sumire challenged.
Lucifer smirked. "Indeed, you've always made sure you were ready for me to take you anytime." He didn't waste time burying himself inside her then.
Honestly speaking, while it felt great doing this with Lex. A part of her was screaming that it was wrong. It seems like, there truly is no hope for her to be with Lex. At the very least, until the current her properly gets to know Lex. No, until the current her cuts of Mashima Toh. There is no way for her feelings for Lex to emerge.n)(0veLb1n
