Lucifer's Captive Bride 46
"Stop looking at him," Lucifer’s voice commanded, snapping my focus back to him. He tilted his head, that infuriatingly calm smile still painted across his face. A part of me wanted him to be angry, to show something real. This—this hollow satisfaction—was worse. It felt like a game to him, and I was nothing but a pawn. "I’m sorry," I whispered, the words scraping painfully as they left my lips. I didn’t even mean them, but if it kept him placated, if it kept Liam safe, I’d say anything. Lucifer reached forward, and I braced myself, expecting something else—a taunt, a cruel touch—but instead, he lifted me up into his arms. A small gasp escaped me as he pulled me close. His golden eyes locked onto mine, and I felt that familiar, unwelcome heat spread through me. No matter how much I hated him, there was something in his gaze that made my heart betray me, racing faster than I wanted it to. It was as if he knew, as if he reveled in how he could make me feel this way, even in the middle

I stepped fully into the room, gaze fixed on Selene, my words dripping with scorn. “Do you care for your little boyfriend so much?” Her mouth opened, words trapped behind her shock. “Do you want to see him dead?” I continued, my voice soft but lethal, each word a promise wrapped in quiet venom. I watched her expression shift—a mixture of terror and desperation as she struggled to find her voice. “Lucifer, please, this… it isn’t what it looks like.” “Isn’t it?” I raised an eyebrow, my tone mocking. “Tell me, Selene, exactly what it is, then. Because from where I’m standing, it seems like a blatant act of defiance. I warned you not to return here. And yet, here you are.” My eyes drifted to Liam, who now stood defensively by her side, glaring at me with an arrogance that would be amusing if it weren’t so misplaced. “Get away from her,” he said, voice trembling but firm. I laughed—a soft, hollow sound. “And what exactly are you planning to do?” Selene put a hand on his arm,

When we finally pulled apart, I looked at him, feeling a sudden, fierce determination. “Liam,” I whispered, barely aware of the words spilling from my mouth, “let’s have sex.”His eyes widened, and he blinked, taken aback. “Wait—what?”“Sleep with me,” I insisted, inching closer, hoping my voice didn’t betray how nervous I felt. “Please.”He exhaled, rubbing the back of his neck, his face flushed. “Selene, we just started dating. Are you sure?”“Is it that you don’t find me attractive?” I teased, trying to lighten the moment, though my voice came out more uncertain than I’d intended.His eyes softened, and he reached out, brushing a loose strand of hair from my face. “Of course, I find you attractive,” he mumbled, his cheeks still red. “I always have.”“Then let’s do it.” My heart was pounding, but I kept my voice steady, inching closer until I was sitting on his lap, my arms around his neck. “Make love to me.”Liam looked at me, really looked at me, as though trying to read my intent

I wanted to believe him. He always had this way of making things feel lighter, like he could absorb some of the darkness weighing me down. I mustered a small smile. “Thank you. Really. I don’t know what I’d do without you.” “You don’t have to worry about that,” he said with a soft chuckle. “You’ve got me, and we’re going to get through this together.” I glanced down at my hands, feeling the strange urge to laugh despite the heaviness in the air. “So… there’s a lot to do.” He nodded. “Yeah, but we’ll take it one step at a time. Maybe tomorrow we could make a list, just so it doesn’t feel too overwhelming. What do you think?” “That sounds like a good idea.” I took another deep breath, feeling a sense of relief wash over me. I wasn’t entirely alone in this, and that made all the difference. Dinner ended, and as we put the plates away, he handed me a stack of his clothes. “Here, you can change into these. You’ll be more comfortable,” he said with a small smile. Once I was finally alo

His words cut deep. I hadn’t meant to hurt him, but in my whirlwind of confusion, it seemed that’s exactly what I had done. I had no idea what to do to calm him, to make it right. So I did the first thing that came to mind. I kissed him. It wasn’t planned. I just acted on impulse, closing the gap between us and pressing my lips to his. His lips were soft and warm against mine, and for a brief moment, I thought maybe this was enough. Maybe this would fix things. But when I tried to pull away, he didn’t let me. His arms wrapped around me, pulling me closer as his tongue brushed against mine, deepening the kiss.I felt good. The kiss was good. Warm, sweet, steady. But it wasn’t the kind of kiss that left me breathless. It wasn’t like the electric rush that I felt with Lucifer. There were no fireworks or racing heartbeat. It was calm. Safe. Comfortable. But as much as I liked Liam, something inside me told me it wasn’t the same. When we finally broke apart, my heart wasn’t pounding the wa

I stepped out of the house, the heavy door closing behind me with a soft click. I didn’t look back. I couldn’t. My head was too full of noise, of questions that had no answers. What kind of person lies so easily? And what was worse—was I overreacting? Was I seeing something that wasn’t there? The cold air bit at my skin as I walked down the street, my footsteps steady, but my mind was spinning. I wasn’t stupid enough to believe Lucifer’s lies. He said no one else was there, but I *heard* it. And jealous? Jealous of what? It wasn’t like I was in love with him or anything. No, that wasn’t it. I didn’t love him. I couldn’t. I just... liked him. That was all. A strange, complicated kind of like. But as I replayed everything in my head, the anger wouldn’t leave me. Maybe I wasn’t in love with him, but I sure as hell didn’t like the idea of him sending me away just to spend the night with someone else. It hurt more than I was willing to admit.By the time I reached work, I was still stewin

The fourth night, there was no teasing. There were no games, no silk ropes, and no long, whispered monologues designed to make her head spin. The air in the room felt different the moment he stepped through the glass—heavier, charged with a blunt, honest hunger that did away with the need for a slow

On the third night, he didn't come empty-handed. When he stepped through the balcony door, the city lights behind him seemed to fade into the background, leaving only the shadow of him and the small, dark bundle he held in one hand. Lila’s breath caught in her lungs, a sharp, hitching sound that ech

He came at 12:03 a.m. exactly. Lila had spent the last hour watching the digital clock on her nightstand, the red numbers burning into her retinas. She had been naked for a long time, the air in the room beginning to feel heavy and static. Her heart was hammering so hard she could feel the thud o

Lila Voss turned the deadbolt at 11:47 p.m. The click was a finality she looked forward to every single day. Behind her, the city lights of Lagos bled through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting long, bruised shadows across the hardwood. The glow looked like spilled ink, staining the expensive fur
