'I don't have to ask her how she feels about that. Despite her acting shy when they do intimate things. Occasionally, he would catch those curious glances.'
Lucifer chuckled. "I have quite a few fetishes. Would you like to hear them?"
"I am curious." Sumire admitted.
"I am aware."
How can he not know?
"But, I shall tell you tonight. On our bed." Lucifer said with a teasing smirk.
At those words the now flustered girl scrambled off his lap.
Lucifer chuckled. No matter how intimate they become, no matter how familiar they get with each others bodies. She still reacts this way. He has to admit that he likes this side of her. They have had many life times together. But not once has she behaved this way. It's certainly refreshing.
'Or perhaps, I shall just tell you now?' He said and spoke into her mind.
'N-no need! You're such a tease.'
'Shall I help you train?'
Sumire turned to him and stuck her tongue out playfully. However all he could think of was the different ways she has already shown him how she uses that tongue.
'Be careful how you tease me, my Queen.'
'I wasn't teasing you.'
'There are other ways you can use your tongue.'
At those words she returned to training with his men. But, he could still see her flushed cheeks. His gaze softened and he turned to leave. He has some work to do for now. But he will definitely make sure to keep that promise.
________________________________
Ever since Sumire came here. He has tried to limit his work to the grounds or just outside. But, he knew eventually he would have to check on the other branches. The ones abroad aside, he has many scattered bases in Japan. He knows he has to make the trip but, he doesn't like the idea of leaving her alone.
'There are people in this place who are hostile to her. She may hide it from me. But, it doesn't take a genius to figure out which people are bothering her. I am thankful she is training again, and her body remembers to fight.' Otherwise, those girls would truly put her in danger.
Lucifer shakes his head as he recalls what happened not too long ago. She seemed so shaken up when Suigetsu men chased after her. Even if she does remember how to fight, there are demons she cannot erase from her heart. What exactly did that man do to her as a child, for her to react that way from simply seeing his men? He has never queried their situation. From hearing Suigetsu talk about her, Lucifer knew the older man didn't care for her.
He should have asked more questions. But when Suigetsu made the offer to become allies, he didn't think much of it. It's better to keep those hostile to her close by, so he can keep an eye out on them. However, that man and Nagawa Mira are truly pushing their limits. Thankfully Suigetsu dislikes Mira just as much, otherwise he would have to worry about the two plotting together.
From Mira's actions, it seems she has no idea that Sumire is with him. Meaning Suigetsu hasn't said anything. As for the one who sent the beast to attack Sumire? It was definitely Mira. That woman is lucky he is too occupied with Sumire at the moment. Otherwise he would have sent a warning already.
Lucifer's gaze fell on the news on his phone.
'Ibuki Sumire's song glorious sunshine is still number one despite her halt in her activities. It seems her break this time around is not causing a rift with her fans-'
He has been keeping tabs on Sumire's position in the entertainment industry. Had anything negative cropped up due to this incident. He would have returned her immediately, and squashed the rumors. But so far nothing seems to have happened. He understands why. He was there that day after all, even though he had to watch from afar. With a voice like that, she can take on the gods herself. She doesn't need weapons or brute strength to be powerful.
Lucifer exhaled deeply. He needs a break, he needs to see her face just for a few minutes. He stares at the large sack of paperwork. But, if he rests now he won't get this done on time for their night time activities. Just five minutes, a quick kiss, and embrace and then he will go.
He exited his office deep in thought.
'Ever since she came here, I no longer focus. All I can think about is her. Think about the many different ways I can touch her. Those lovely moans, her soft skin.'
Lucifer already knew without looking down at his pants, how hard he was. That girl is really doing something to him. Their connection in their past lives aside. He didn't think he would react this way before she regained the memories of their time together.
His thoughts break off seeing a man with silver coloured hair approach him.
Seeing Toh again, Lucifer sighed deeply.
"This must be the first time you have visited me so many times in a row."
"Where's Sumire?" Toh asked.
Lucifer frowned. "You don't have to keep checking on her. I will not harm her."
"I'll believe that when I see it."
"Toh- She's my---"
How does he say this? Toh doesn't know anything about their past lives. Toh may be his most trusted subordinate, but there is a reason why he hasn't mentioned this in front of him. He didn't get a chance to say anything. When one of the doors at the end of the room flung open.
"Lucifer!!!" Sumire beamed happily. "You're just in time. I baked cookies."
"He can't eat those beautiful, so you best give it to me." Toh said smugly.
"No, no. He'll eat it." Sumire said, determined.
He will, but only because she made them. 'I never thought of consuming anything other than blood before. When I woke up in this life and realized how far the darkness had spread. I realized even the simplest things that I could still do in my last life was impossible.'
