Lex nodded. "Of course I know that doesn't make it okay, even if the circumstances were like that. There was no excuse to have hurt you so badly. I let my weakness, and my inner demons persuade me that you weren't good enough for me. I let my fragile mentality control me and decide for myself that I wasn't good, that I was trash that couldn't be saved. I didn't give you the choice, even though I promised you during the start of our courtship, that I would always give you your freedom to choose. I know I fucked up Norah, no amount of apology will ever change that. But, I can't deny this pull between us. I can see it, you are mine and I am yours. I was an idiot, but I won't be any longer. If you'll let me." He stands up and walks over to her side of the couch as he got on his knees and rummages through his pocket.
He takes out a box and opens it, Norah gasps,
"This my heart, is yours. Even if you decide that you still don't want anything to do with me. Its yours, and I shall never belong to another."
Lucifer waits with bated breath, as silence follows. Silence followed by the sounds of her sobbing. He looks up to see the tears streaming from her eyes. Before he could react, Norah's arms have wrapped themselves around his neck. The familiar sensation of her body pressed against his.
"I've missed you, Lex." Norah said softly. "When I was away from you, I thought I could do it. I thought I could manage without you and move on. It seemed like I could. But when your parents and then your brother came to me for the engagement. I realized I couldn't do it, not because he was your brother. But, because I couldn't imagine myself with anyone but you."
"Norah-"
"I don't know if I can forgive you, just thinking about it hurts too much. I don't need you to make fancy promises about not doing it again. I just need you, I need to feel you. I need to know that your mine, that you understand. This connection isn't just because of the bond. Your mine Alexander. There is no one in the nine realms that I want more than you."
He answers her not with words, but with his mouth, his hands on her body. She is his, she always will be.

The sensation of Sumire's hands on his chest broke him out of memory lane. He chuckles realizing that she was getting a very good feel of his chest.
"Mm, do you want to drink from me?" Sumire suddenly asked.
Lucifer chuckled. "Someone must be feeling brave today."
Earlier he took a small sip of her blood, and she didn't pull away. She just spent the last few minutes touching him when she realized he was distracted.
"I want to do something for you Lucifer. I mentioned this before, but there isn't a lot I can do for you. Will you drink?" Sumire asked.
Lucifer smirks as he changes their position so he was hovering over her. "Since you're inviting me so nicely, I'll do as you command my heart."
After relieving the memory of how they made up from their first fight, he felt more aroused than he did earlier. Seeing her already makes him feel this way. But after that memory, he is glad that she suggested a feeding. Lucifer leans down and bites her like a man possessed. Sumire flinched causing him to pause but her arms wrapped tightly around him, like she was telling him that it was okay to be rough.
Ever since he was cursed. The passionate moments with her, became rougher and more aggressive. He saw signs of it on her face whenever he became like that, but she would always smile and tell him that she liked it. Back then he simply assumed she was putting up with him.
Lucifer kept his lips at her throat but he tilted his head to get a better look at her expression. She does seem to be in pain but her heavy breathing and that flushed face, perhaps she is enjoying this too.
"I love you." Lucifer mumbled, as he lightly kissed the marks he just made on her neck.
"Mmm, I know. Thank you."
"Have you been drinking your medicine?" Lucifer asked.
Her blood tastes different today. It didn't have the usual rich taste. When this happens, it usually means she is unwell.
"Uh." Sumire said nervously. "Actually I lost them in the garden the other day."
Lucifer frowned. No wonder she got sick. If she doesn't take those tablets, her condition would flare up. Thankfully he is prepared for situations like this,
"Here, have some." The moment he pressed the tablet to her mouth, her entire face reddened and she stepped back. She was looking at him with a mixture of horror and confusion.
"What did you just remember?" Lucifer said knowingly.
Her entire face was still red, breathing unsteady and traces of salvia on her mouth from their passionate kiss. She looked ripe enough to devour. Lucifer shakes his head, looking at her with anticipation.
"Err.."
His lips curve to a smirk sensing her hesitation. Lucifer leaned down and brushed his lips against her ear. "Was it something dirty?"
They did have their fun after they sorted out their differences.
Sumire slowly nodded as she explained. "You had me, bent over the throne, and you were pounding into me from behind. Your hands were wrapped around my throat, and your shadows were tugging at my hair and breasts as I moaned your name." Sumire stammered. "A-also, uh we weren't alone. There was a crowd-we seemed to be in the middle of a party."n((O--v./e).1.-b(-1.-n
Lucifer smirked. "That did happen, yes."
It happened after Norah truly forgave him. She wanted to celebrate the moment so he suggested they hold a party. She wore such an enticing outfit. So when she stopped greeting guests and made her way over to him, he was giving her a passionate kiss that lead to the situation on the throne.
