Chapter 37 (Rewrite)

Just centimeters away from our lips meeting. After four years of wanting him in my arms again, here he was, and our first kiss since then was about to happen. Butterflies flew around my stomach, and his scent filled my lungs, taking my breath away. 

As our lips were about to meet, a phone rang, causing us to stop. Lucifer released a growl, and I pulled away so he could answer. I went to get up, but he just pulled me closer. "Hello," he answered the phone. If he wasn't here right now, I probably would be swinging in the air right now. We were so close to kissing now, who knows? We might have to wait another four years to kiss.

I stared at him as he rolled his eyes at the person on the other line. I shook my head and smiled at him. "Just fix it. You get paid to do your job, you know," he ordered before handing it up. "How come you're always working 24/7," I asked, a bit annoyed.

"Your presentation about the shipment made it big," he explained. "Right," I said, remembering how I helped him and his company. Let's go dance," I smiled, and I got up. I pulled him off the couch and made my way to the dance floor. I turned around and wrapped my hands around his neck as he gripped my waist. He pulled me closer, and we swayed to the music.

We stayed like this for the following three songs, just dancing around and having fun. After that, we decided to drink and sit for a few since my feet were killing me in these heels. "I'll be back," Lucifer sighed before getting up from the bar stool. "Okay," I mumbled. He gave me a small smile and disappeared into the crowd. I turned around and drank my drink.

"My beautiful Sunshine, what you doing here alone?" Axel's voice came next to me. I turned my head to see his hair ruffled and his shirt wrinkled. "Just drinking," I said, holding up my cup. He grabbed my cup and chugged down my drink. I rolled my eyes and looked around. These drink-stealing demons, I swear.

"Where's Lucifer?" he asked. "He just said he had to do something," I stated, turning to look at him. His face tensed up, and his hand turned into a fist. "The other leaders are being a pain in the ass to handle," he hissed. "Why doesn't he just fire them?" I asked.

"He's thinking about that," he said, placing the cup on the counter. Let's go dance," he grabbed my hand. "My feet hurt," I whined. "Don't care. I'm getting this dance whether you want to or not," he laughed as he pulled me off the stool. I rolled my eyes as he pulled me towards the dance floor behind him.

He spun around and looked at me before grabbing my waist. I wrapped my hands around his neck, and we swayed to the music. "So I'm guessing you got laid already," I shouted over the music. "Yeah. It wasn't the best, but it was okay. Want to be the third? From when I feed on you, I got to admit it makes me want you more," he said, wiggling his eyebrows before winking.

I couldn't help but burst out laughing. "Maybe one day, but third? I wanna be the first and only," I laughed. His grip on my waist tightened a little, and I looked up at him to see his eyes were black. My eyes widened as I knew something was wrong. I looked around to see if anyone was watching us, but they were all drunk and zoned out to the music.

"What's wrong?" I asked, pulling his head down so he was looking down at me. "There's a guy in this room who has...disturbing thoughts about you," he growled. I stared at him, not knowing how to respond. "Where?" I asked. "He's behind me, about 30 feet away," he hissed.

"Chill out, big boy," I said, ruffling his hair. "It's nice of you to be overprotective, but I can handle it myself."

"He's coming here. I'm going to rip his throat out," he growled. "No, you're not. You're going to continue dancing with me and chill out," I smiled, trying to calm him down.

He let out a sigh, and his eyes changed back to normal. "Hey, Sky," a familiar voice said. I turned my head, and my eyes widened. "Mark," I choked out, causing a chill to run down my spine.

"Do you mind if I have this dance?" he asked, turning to Axel. I turned to Axel, who was glaring at Mark. Please say yes.

"Yes, I do mind," Axel said, glaring at him. Mark turned to look at me and smiled, "I would love this dance," he insisted. "No," I mumbled.

I watched as his body tensed up and his jawline tightened. I felt Axel holding me tighter, but not enough to hurt me. "Nice seeing you around," he mumbled before walking off.

"Who was that?" Axel asked, looking down at me. "Controlling ex," I stated and watched as he disappeared into the crowd. "I could feel your emotions. Something about him scared you," Axel read my feelings.

I looked up to him and saw him with a worried face. "I hated that guy," I scoffed, causing him to laugh. Deciding not to push the topic, we danced the night away, and people started to leave since it was about 3 in the morning now. I was back to sitting by the bar, and Axel was kicking everyone out now.

"Alright, I'm going to head home now. Lu said he'd take you home. Chow babe," Axel said before kissing my forehead. "You better not have pussy juice on your lips," I gagged as I recalled him fucking two girls he told me about. "Sunshine, the only pussy juice I'll ever taste is yours," he chuckled, causing my mouth to drop. 

Before I could respond, he quickly pecked my lips before disappearing. And I thought Lucifer was the crazy one. I poured myself a drink since the bartender had also left. It was just me alone in the mansion now, and Lucifer was somewhere around.

I rested my elbows on the counter and placed my head in the palms of my hands. My eyes were slowly closing as I was tired. A hand wrapped around my waist and pulled me back into a chest. "What are you doing?" I mumbled in a weary voice.

Lucifer then glided his hands down on my leg and rubbed the top of my leg in a circular motion. He buried his head in the crock of my neck and sighed. I let out a smile but stopped mid-way when his scent hit me. This wasn't Lucifer. I know Lucifer's scent, but this isn't it.

I elbowed the person in the rib, causing them to let go and groan in pain. I jumped off the stool and turned around to see Mark. "What do you think you're doing?" I shouted. "I miss you, Sky," he said, walking up to me. "No." I held my hand up towards him, causing him to stop.

"Just go away," I hissed. "Not going to happen. You know how embarrassing it was to be rejected for that dance. My friends were here and saw what happened," he growled and started walking up to me again. I took off my heels and glared at him. "Touch me, and I will kick your ass," I warned.

He stared at me in shock, "I've never seen this part of you before," he stated. "Because I never let you," I scoffed. He grabbed my hand, and I twisted it behind his back and pushed him away. He turned around, and I saw anger written all over his face. "Wrong move," he mumbled as he came charging at me.

"Touch her, and I will kill you," a voice boomed through the house. I turned to see Lucifer at the doorway of the living room, all tensed up. "And who are you?" Mark scoffed. Lucifer smirked, walked into the room, and stopped in front of him. "Your worst nightmare," he growled to him.

The room was so silent I swear I heard Mark gulped. I watched as he didn't say a word and just ran out. So much for kicking his ass. I slipped into my heels again and looked up to see Lucifer before me. "Did he hurt you?" he asked with a worried face.

"No, I'm fine," I assured him. I'm sorry I didn't spend the rest of the night with you," he apologized. It's okay," I replied. Are you ready to leave?" he asked, and I nodded my head. I was thinking we could grab an early breakfast and then head home," he offered. Sounds good," I smiled back.

We headed outside, and the coldness slipped down my spine, causing me to shiver. I felt something warm wrap around me, and I looked to see Lucifer giving me his jacket. I slipped my arms into the sleeves and held it tight against me. His scent wrapped around me, causing my face to light up. I heard a chuckle and looked up to see him shaking his head, laughing.

"Thank you," I mumbled and covered my cheeks with the collar with embarrassment. "Anything for my Princessa," he laughed as we walked to the car. After ten minutes of driving, we found a 24/7 open dinner and decided to eat there. Once we arrived, I found myself getting more tired as we drove back home.

"How long have you not slept?" Lucifer asked. I don't know. It's been over five days," I yawned and tried to look out the window to stay awake. "I'm surprised you can stay up for that long. Why don't you want to sleep?" he asked. I lay back in the seat and tried to keep my eyes open. "I get nightmares," I yawned at the end. "I know but you know you can sleep with me or Axel. We'd watch over you," he softly spoke.

Silence took over the car. "Question," I stated. "Go ahead," he replied. "Do you always read my mind willfully or is it something you just can't help?" I asked looking at him.

I watched as he kept his focus on the road. "It's a bit of both. Sometimes, I can hear you when you think about me, and sometimes, I can even feel it, but other times, I cannot read your mind like an option. For example, right now, I could read your mind if I want to," he explained.

"Is it like that for everyone?" I asked. He glanced at me and shook his head. "Only you," he smiled. I slowly blinked and felt myself falling asleep. "I don't want to sleep," I whined. Do you want me to stay with you?" he offered. "Please," I mumbled. I just needed a little sleep, and then I'll be fine for another four or five days.

"Alright, but we'll stay in my room. Before you complain, I changed the sheets, and if it makes you feel better, I burned them," he commented.

"Why your room??" I yawned. Well, you have to admit it's more comfortable, and it's easier for me to get anything I need if I have a business call," he explained.

"You're right about the first part, but the second one makes absolutely no sense," I said, closing my eyes. The car came to a stop, and a door opened and closed. I opened my eyes slowly and saw my door open. I slowly got out, and my feet started to hurt with the heels, and my body was slowly falling asleep.

The door slammed shut, and I felt myself slowly being lifted up bridal style. I wrapped my arms around his neck and laid my head on his shoulder. "Normally, I would make you put me down, but I'm too tired," I mumbled. "I know," he whispered. After a few minutes or two, I felt myself sitting on something comfy.

My heels were slowly pulled off, and I slowly opened my eyes to see nothing. The room was dark. "I'm going to need you to stand up and turn around," he whispered.

"Why?" I tiredly whispered. "Just do it, please," he begged as he slowly helped me off the bed. My feet touched the cold floor, causing me to shiver. I slowly turned around and faced the bed. I felt his hand slowly pulling the jacket off and throwing it somewhere.

I heard his footsteps fading away across the room behind me. He was opening a drawer, which then closed, and he came up behind me. He opened something and threw it on the bed.

"I'm going to unzip you and put you in a T-shirt," he whispered. I stood there in shock but found myself humming in response. His hand held the top of my dress and slowly pulled the zipper down. I raised my hand as he pulled the dress over my head.

I kept my hands up, and he quickly dressed me in the t-shirt that was most likely his. His hand then reached under my shirt and slipped up my back. "What are you doing?" I huffed in tiredness. "Taking off your bra," he mumbled.

"You don't -" I stopped when I felt my bra was slipped off. "And you undid it," I huffed. "Come on, climb into bed," he laughed. I mentally rolled my eyes and climbed under the sheets before faceplanting into the pillow. The bed sunk next to me, and a hand wrapped around me and pulled me in.

My hand felt a bare chest, and I let out a sigh. "Remind me to smack you in the morning," I mumbled as he placed his chin over my head. "I love you too," he chuckled.

His chest was radiating heat, so I took my cold hand, passed it down his chest, and rested it on his abs, hoping it would annoy him. "That doesn't bother me," he mumbled. "Bummer," I mumbled back.

"You're boobs feel nice against my chest," he mumbled. I gasped, wrapping my arm around my chest, and turned around. "Adorable," he chuckled. His hand pulled my back into his chest and wrapped me close. "Why did I say yes to this?" I mumbled to myself as I closed my eyes.

"Because you love me, and I love you," he sighed in my hair. "Sweet dreams, Princessa," he whispered. "Sweet dreams, my Little Devil," I yawned before falling asleep.
