Chapter 9: He still looked good.
"Khalan " Lucifer called softly with love and care. He was bent over her as she lay on her bed sleeping peacefully. Her breathing was slow and steady but Lucifer wanted to be sure that she was ok, and out of danger.
He had just returned from the underworld and laid her on her bed. He now wanted to be sure if she was well and healed completely.
He had thought of letting her sleep till she woke up on her on but discarded it, believing that she had enough rest already and should be woken up, so that she can atleast stretch her limbs.
"Khalan " he called her again this time, shaking her a little. But she didn't wake. He kept calling her and shaking her, till she finally moved. She stretched herself on the bed and opened her eyes slowly.
"Nathan? " she called staring intently at the figure before her. She sat up a little, not knowing that the bedding around her chest had already slipped down and her only coverage was the bedsheet she was tucked into and now that was no more coverage her chest because she sat up to look at Nathan as she wasn't sure if it was really him.
"Is that really you", she asked now taking out the bedsheet totally from her body and standing up.
Lucifer swallowed hard. He wondered if she knows that she was half naked or if she was doing it on purpose. He wanted to read her thoughts to find out but was overwhelmed by her action.
Khalan jumped into his arms and hugged him tightly and cried into his chest. "Where have you been? l thought you were kidnapped or taken as a slave, don't leave me like that again, l don't want to feel like l have lost you or that you're dead".
*Sniff.. Sniff*.. She said within tears.
Lucifer felt his breathe freeze. He was feeling his heart flutter and its beats increase rapidly. She was really provoking him deeply and he knew he couldn't hold on to his control any longer than this. The feeling of her full breast pressing on his hard chest and her hot breathe making the skin on his chest tickle were not helping matters atall.
"Nathan! " khalan yelled jolting Lucifer from his lustful thoughts. She pulled back from him and stared into his glorious ruby eyes.
Though his eyes were mesmerizing, but it didn't stop her from getting offended.
"Nathan, l asked a question and l deserve an answer, an appropriate one at that. Where did you go to and why did you leave me here all alone " she asked with her lips pouted.
Lucifer just stared at her as he took his time to recollect himself in order not to have a bulge that might scare her or make her think ill of him. He closed his eyes for some seconds before opening it.
As he heard her yell his name. He gave her a hard stare with his ruby orbs as she looked captivated with her emerald eyes. But that didn't stop her from throwing more questions at him.
However, what cut him off guard was the way she pouted her lips at the end of her talks. He felt the intense urge to pull her in immediately for a good kiss. However, he just stepped back and said "l am sorry".
"You're sorry?, really? Just that? do you know what l went through, l was raped. Yes I think the man from earlier crossed the barrier, l don't how he did but he came in here and raped me" she said as tears welled up in her eyes.
Lucifer felt the urge to laugh but he didn't as he knew it would hurt her a lot. But he was sure going to get on her nerves for tempting the him this much with her appearance and actions as she still didn't realize that she was almost naked.
He leaned into her and his hot breathe creased her bare neck and shoulder. He stayed like that for some seconds as he felt her body tensed. He was indeed enjoying the situation. He drew in closer to her till he was now feeling the skin on her neck and shoulder with his nose.
He inhaled her sweet, before finally speaking " who wouldn't want to rape you, you're a damsel and judging from how seductive you look now, even l want to rape you ".
Khalan couldn't believe her ears. She was expecting to hear soothing words from Nathan, due how he leaned unto her. Khalan felt her heart race and beating hard against her rib cage. She felt numb and the only feeling she acknowleged was his hot breathe against her skin. 'What are you trying to do? 'Khalan wondered, but all the thoughts went to the back of her head as she felt him inhale her scent. She felt weak in the knees and sudden heat.
However, all she was hearing now just murdered those feelings, not letting them live long.
Immediately, she drew back from him and look down at what she was wearing. Then it dawned on her , "what!? I have been half naked all these while!". She felt so embrassed and flustered.
She wanted to scold Nathan for not telling her all this while but just staring at her half naked body, but she found her self running into the bathroom to take a bath and calm down the heat she was feeling and also were some good clothes.
After her bath, she wore a light yellow gown that complimented her emerald eyes. She combed her hair and let it down. Then she stepped out of her room in search of Nathan. She had already walked a few paces before she almost bumped into him.
He also went to have a bath, judging from his still wet hair. He was wearing a white shirt and black trousers and a black boot as well. Khalan thought it was too bright for his ruby orbs which were very dark and also seemed to emit darkness, but that didn't matter because he still looked good.
"Can we talk in your room? " she asked politely.
Lucifer just nodded, wondering what it was that she wanted to talk about as he led the way to his room.
"What do you want to talk about? " he asked staring intently at her.
"Nathan I am really sorry for this morning, its just that l feel hurt and broken, l just lost my chasity to some unknown man. Please Nathan, help me let's find that man and bring him to justice ".
Lucifer couldn't believe that she still thought she was raped, so he decided to read her thoughts. 'She was badly hurt that she lost her innocence because she wanted to give it to the one she loved, which was none other than him Nathan'.
Lucifer's mind was blown. Has his Sheba really fallen for him or was it just an infanctuation. He however decided to keep things low so as to be sure.
He drew her into a hug a spoke into her hair "you weren't raped khalan, l was the one who tore your clothes and left you half naked".
Then he realized that he had made a terrible mistake but couldn't change it. Khalan drew away from his embrace and gave him a death 👁 stare, before finally saying what Lucifer was expecting to hear or maybe more than what he was expecting.
"You pervert!! ".
