Chapter 938 My Beautiful Monster Part 39

SUMIRE

Sumire couldn't miss the hint of bitterness in Lucifer's tone and she used that chance to cup his face. He is so handsome, there is a frightening aura around him, and darkness. Darkness surrounds him, and each step he takes. The darkness seems to consume him more, consumes him and his surroundings. 'Is that why he? is moving away from the lanterns? He doesn't want his darkness to touch them.'

So frighteningly handsome, and yet so kind.

Lucifer seemed to be enjoying the sensation of her hands on his skin since he relaxed. "They worked so hard to bridge the gap between humans and themselves. But the damage of the first life continued to follow them almost like a curse. Even though the records of how the humans betrayed them were destroyed by their daughter, who took over as saviour of the realms."

That means the goddess and the god died, but she wonders how? If they were such powerful beings, how did they die? Were they killed by the humans? Is that the betrayal Lucifer mentioned?

"It followed them, and it was only in their third life when they realized they were cursed. Cursed to a fate of darkness, and no light. Because of this curse, they could never truly find happiness. Each life was filled with conflict far stronger than before. The worst part of the curse was, no longer being able to have a child. Norah became infertile, and she blamed herself over and over,"

He sounds so sad, so miserable. It's almost like he personally experienced- Sumire shakes her head. They may have spoken about past lives before. But, to be the descendant of a god and goddess? That would be too much.

Before she could say anything, some children bumped into Lucifer causing her to let go of his face.

The young boy with forest green hair looked at Lucifer's darkness and started to clap happily playing with the shadows.

It takes her a moment to realize that Lucifer was using the darkness to play with the boy, using it to create different shapes.

'I wonder if Lucifer wants children.' This isn't the first time she has seen him interact with children before. Everytime he sees a child, he has this tender gaze on his face.

'What would Lucifer be like as a father? And her as a mother-'

She felt another throb in her head. How many times has this happened recently? Lucifer glanced over and frowned.

"Run along now. Do not make your mother worried."

"Lord, Lord!" The young girl spoke up. "Will you dance with me later?"

Lucifer chuckled. "Of course, I will save a dance for you as long as my lady allows me."

At those words the young boy spoke up. "I've decided! I will dance with the lady."

Sumire laughed seeing Lucifer's irritated expression. She leaned down and kissed the young boy's forehead. "Find me when the broody lord isn't around?"

"I will steal you away!" He said proudly.

After the children left, Lucifer wrapped his arms around her possessively. Sumire rolled her eyes. "Don't be so petty, he is just a child."

"Children become men in no time." Lucifer shakes his head. "It seems I have dressed you up too much, if little children are trying to take you from me."

She giggled. "I don't think they'd succeed."

"You don't?"

"Mm, I don't." A content sigh escaped her lips as she felt Lucifer place kisses down her neck. "You know, it finally makes sense."

"What does?"

"This place smells like you."

Lucifer chuckled. "I don't know whether I should take that as a compliment. I hope I smell like fresh air, rather than damp grass and sewers."

Sumire rolled her eyes and playfully swatted his arm. "You know what I mean. Sometimes when you hug me, you smell like the ocean. I didn't understand why."

Although Lucifer has been doing a good job to make it look like he has been staying home. Occasionally there are times where she can't find him. She always assumed he was in the areas of the manor she isn't allowed to go to. But, it seems like during those times he has been visiting the town.

"We can go for a dip if you like. Of course not tonight, we don't want your dress getting dirty."

Sumire blinked at his suggestion. Is he suggesting they go skinny dipping together? 'I-I mean, I know we bathe together in the creek back in the manor. But that's different, the creek is part of their residence. T-this would be a public place.'

Lucifer's lips brushed against her ear. "If the idea makes you uncomfortable. We do not have to. But, just know that it is an option."

Right, an option.

Speaking of someone who always gave her a choice. "I haven't seen Toh around lately. Is he busy?"

Lucifer frowned. "He has. Do you want to see him?"

"Mm, I do. But, if he is busy I suppose it can't be helped."

Lucifer exhaled deeply and pulled something out of his pocket. It was a purple coloured phone. "Use this, his number is already there."

"Is this my phone?" n.(OVELb1n

"It's a new one. Your old one was shattered into pieces when you were attacked." Lucifer trailed off. "I must confess that I was reluctant to give it to you."

Sumire stares at the device. She knew even without going through it, that there was no internet and just phone service. She probably won't be able to do anything other than text, play games and write notes. That's fine for her. If he wants to shield her so desperately, she will allow him.

She fiddles with? the phone and goes through the contacts.

Lucifer's number, Toh, Jacks, Renna, Grace and Akane-chan. She supposes that makes sense. Amongst the people living and working in the manor, she is only close to a limited group of people.

Seeing Lucifer's wary expression. Sumire leaned forward and kissed him. Lucifer seemed surprised but it didn't take long before she felt his arms wrap around her waist, pulling her closer.

'His strong affections for me overshadow the red flags. I am curious why he is hiding so much from me, why he insists on keeping me hidden. But, every time I think about questioning him, all I have to do is look at his face. He isn't very good at hiding his emotions.'

Lucifer let out a shuddering breath and her cheeks grew warm. He-he is letting her take over this kiss. Normally, he would have resumed control already.

She may not have her memories but she understands how clumsy she is with acts of affection. There is no doubt that Lucifer has more experience with this than her. Experience with those other women in the manor.
