Chapter 5 Xazel, the new me

I finished helping Lilith with her gardening, carrying a large basket full of fresh vegetables. She wanted them in the kitchen, and I was glad to help. Her smile warmed my heart. I was battling internally on the issue of taking her soul. Part of me, a small part, says I should; the other tells me I would be punished severely for it. I frowned as I headed to the shower to clean off the dirt of the day.

I finished and twirled my finger as I changed my clothes. Satisfied, I went into the living room in search of Lilith. "Where are you?" I yell.

"In the shower. I'll start dinner when I'm finished," she shouts back. I grin and vanish to hell. Lucifer glares at me, surprised by my visit.

"What is a good dinner for a human?" I mumble to him. He starts laughing, shaking his head.

"Want my help?" he grins. I nod, and we both appear in Lilith's kitchen. Lucifer thought for a moment, then twirled a finger; a beautiful place setting, complete with candles, wine, and Caprese Chicken Pasta, appeared.

"She will love it, Xazel." Lucifer grinned and disappeared. I sat and waited for Lilith to come in. When she did, her eyes widened at the food, then at me.

"Xazel, you made dinner," she grinned and headed to the table. I pulled the chair out for her and went to sit across from her.

"I'm going to be honest with you, Xazel. I prefer your natural red eyes," she mumbled. I looked at her and smiled, changing my eyes.

"You can change the rest as well; just cover your private parts," she laughed. I sighed happily and reverted to my normal self, except I was donning a loincloth. Lilith grinned and winked at me.

"You're a perfect demon, Xazel," she smirked. I gave her a big grin, exposing my fangs. We ate the delicious food and took sneak peeks at each other. It was adorable the way she would blush when I'd catch her eyes watching me. My heart was rushing in my chest; it felt full. I was confused by the feelings coursing through my body. All I knew was being with Lilith made it better.

Lilith and Xazel

I watched as Xazel cleaned the entire kitchen by just twirling his finger. I admit I was jealous of that kind of power. He glanced at me and opened a bottle of wine, pouring me a glass. He brought it to me, grinning like a little boy. I told him thanks.

"What has gotten into you today, Xazel?" I glared at him suspiciously. He shrugged his shoulders and sat next to me.

"I just feel different around you," he grinned. I gave him a sideways glance and grinned.

"How are you feeling?" he asked with wide eyes.

" Did you do something to the wine?" I mumbled as I sipped; it was strong wine.

"It's hell wine; it may do strange things to you," he chuckled. I scowled at him.

"Why would you do that to me?" I growled.

"It only enhances certain feelings," he blushed. My brow rose as I watched him drink his entire glass. "How are you feeling?" I grin. He looked me in the eyes, leaned forward, and pressed his lips against mine. When he leaned back, his eyes were glowing, and he was smiling.

"I think I love you," he purred, his face turning red. I choked on my wine, glaring at him.

"What did you say?" I question.

"I think I love you, Lilith," he beamed. I smiled and jumped up to sit on his lap. I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed his surprised mouth.

"I like you, Xazel," I grinned against his mouth. He looked at me with wide eyes.

"You like me," he grinned. I nodded my head and attacked his mouth. Lucifer appeared in the kitchen, clapping his hands at us.

"About damn time, Xazel," he grinned.

"I'll allow you to take Lilith to your actual home if you want to take her," he grinned at Xazel. Xazel was shaking his head.

"I'd prefer to stay here. If you don't mind, I have a sorted past," Xazel blushed and frowned. Lucifer chuckled at him.

"I will send them away if you change your mind. Congratulations on finding your feelings, Xazel," he grinned and disappeared.

"What do you mean, a sorted past?" Lilith questioned me with her brow raised. "Well, I am an incubus; let your mind wander, and you'll figure it out," I growled. "I've got a pretty crazy mind," she sneered. I nod my head, and she frowns.

"You have a girlfriend," she scowls.

"More like friends with benefits, both a male and a female," I mumble. Lilith glares at me and crosses her arms.

"I don't love them, Lilith," I groan, frowning at the look she's giving me.

"Then take me to your home," she snaps. I shake my head at her feisty disposition.

"You would not like it there," I growl. Lilith cocks her brow at me.

"Why?" she asks.

"It's dark and very hot; demons don't wear clothing, so lots of them partake in extra activities," I explain. Her face turns pink.

"I could still wear something light; we wouldn't have to stay long, just a peek," she grins.

"You're not giving up on this, are you?" I sigh. She shakes her head.

"Fine, come wrap your arms around my waist," I mumble. Lilith grins and does as I ask.
