Chapter 967 My Beautiful Monster Part 68
LUCIFER
If he recalls correctly, that was the trigger to even more bold activities between them.
"I--I seemed to have been bolder then." Sumire stammered.
"Oh my heart, you"re still that bold. In fact, if you ever want a change of pace. I"d be more than happy to-"
Sumire shakes her head.
"I--I don"t think I can. I mean, it would be weird..to have others watch while we-" Sumire couldn"t even get the words out.
Lucifer kisses her eyelids. "I will never make you do anything you don"t wish to. Moreover, I have become quite selfish. I do not want other men to hear or hear the sounds you make."
During their first two lifetimes, he didn"t mind. It was his way of showing that Norah was his. Even if they desired her, they could never have her. But, during the third life he gradually grew more possessive.
"My Lord." Hearing Rui"s familiar voice, Lucifer growled.
"Are you all timing this on purpose?" He snapped.
"Afraid not. But you really must leave now. The other leaders are at the border. If you don"t show, you will have to come up with a good explanation." Rui trails off and looks at her. "-and I don"t think you want the miss to get dragged into a meeting with all the leaders."
Indeed, if he doesn"t show. Suigetsu will use that as an opportunity to blame Sumire and drag her in front of his entire council. He can"t allow that to happen.
Lucifer turned to her with a distraught expression.
"My heart. I hate to leave you."
Why does it seem recently that whenever they have even the smallest amount of time together, they end up being disturbed? How many times have they had to part the past few days?
"I have to do something about this. I need to have her in my arms all the time. It is very difficult when they are not together."
"It"s okay, I know you"re busy." She trailed off. "But the border?"
Lucifer sighed. "Yes. There"s a bit of trouble." He frowns, it"s unusual for the border to be disturbed. He checks there regularly whenever he returns from Tokyo. Is it because he has been spending more time in the region and hasn"t checked as frequently? That can"t be it, there are occasions in the past where he didn"t check for a long time.
Rui"s report mentioned that Toh recruited Arata but he doubts that mad man would have made it this far. He also struck an agreement with Toh. Toh is not the type of person to break promises. His subordinate understands how dangerous it is for Sumire right now. Toh will prioritise Sumire"s needs over his own wants and desires, even if it causes him to break.
But if it isn"t Arata, is it Momoi Futaba? No, even she wouldn"t be so stupid to leave Star town now.
Aki, it has to be Aki.
There have been signs that he has been nearby, has he finally reached them? There is no evidence for this. But, no evidence that it"s not him either. "I need to handle this personally."
"Is it dangerous?" Sumire asked.
"It might be. But, I shall be fine. You can reach me through the bond."
"-and you"ll respond?" Sumire questioned.
"Anytime."
"I"m glad I asked you to drink from me. You"ll definitely need it.
Lucifer paused. He didn"t actually think about it because they always bring a handful of willing females- He shakes his head. "I probably wouldn"t have drank from them. I would have put up with the thirst and risked him coming out."
"It really is a shame that you"re going to leave now." Sumire sighed deeply.
"Why?"
"I had plans for us, husband."
"Plans?" Lucifer repeated.
He knows that Sumire likes making advanced plans for their dates. "I ought to apologize-" Before Lucifer could reply, Sumire quickly added.
"Mm, plans in the bedroom." Sumire said, batting her eyelashes.
At those words his eyes widened and he froze. Huh? What is she talking about? Did she just- Lucifer stared at her for a few minutes to see her innocent gaze turn seductive.
Lucifer growled. "You shouldn"t make those plans alone."
"I wanted to be in charge this time."
Lucifer responded as he crushed the girls lips in his. Everytime he kissed her, he would make sure that she understood his desires. His every want and need for her. How she always seemed to light a fire in his veins.
Sumire laughed as she lightly hit his chest and pulled away. "Don"t be silly, you"ll be late."
Lucifer sighed. "How can I leave you now?"
Sumire"s gaze softens as she extends her hands out and caresses his cheek as she brings her face closer to his. She lightly kisses his lips.
"Even now, I don"t understand the work you are doing very well. But, I do know that you"re working hard for me and our future."
Lucifer felt a strong jab in his chest when he heard her say those words. She truly knows how to make him feel guilty. The reason he is leaving her alone to see the mess in the border is because of his selfishness to keep her by his side. There is no doubt that the ones causing problems are the girls friends.
If it comes down to a fight between him and the girls friends, what will he do? If he harms any of them, he will have a hard time explaining himself when she regains her memories. Feeling Sumire"s lips on his again. He kisses her back, gentler this time.
"I shall miss you my wife."
"Mm, me too. Is there anything else you need to tell me before going?"
Lucifer paused. He doesn"t want her to think that he is restricting her freedom. But if her friends are truly at the border, perhaps they have learned about this place.
"Stay in our room, and the library as much as you can. If you wish to venture outside, make sure to bring at least five guards with you." Lucifer trails off. "Also, please eat all your meals. I hear you have been skipping the ones we can"t take together. Although I am flattered by the thought wife. You must take care of your health, and regularly see the doctor for check ups."
Sumire giggled. "Okay, okay you huge nag. Is there anything else?"
Lucifer paused and whispered in her ear. "The most important, the one I always tell you. Do not lose track of time when your outside. Get inside our rooms before dark."
"Mm, I understand. Lucifer." Sumire said softly as she hugged him. "I will miss you very much, please come back to me soon."
His gaze softens hearing her words. "I shall."
