Then what? He knows what, then he has no choice but to kill her, no choice but to silence her and ensure no one else is told the tale of how she met Lucifer, the fallen angel. He never changed his name; he let it be a warning to women; she just doesn’t listen.
The sound of the phone ringing, makes Anais glance at him. Lucifer answers it, his face quickly twisting into a grimace as Anais watches, finally realising how much of a colossal mistake she has made. She thought yesterday he was trying to scare her away; now she realises that yesterday was just a tiny fraction. As she looks at the face of pure evil.
Anais’s body is trembling; her thoughts muddled as she looks at him, slowly her vision blurs as she realises what she has done, and now it is too late to turn back.
Lucifer is looking at her, his arms wide as he holds the phone to his ear, his eyes red like fire, and she can only describe it as something out of a horror movie. His words come
She has no idea; clearly, she doesn’t. Does she really think that was her dying? She is insane. Shaking his head, he climbs onto the bed next to her.“You didn’t die, Anais; you were alive in my arms the whole time.” Her mind goes back, seeing everything again that happened. She was definitely in the sky. She was flying, yet now she remembers his arms around her.Waking up, she was facing his chest first. Maybe she was dreaming, hallucinating? Her mind tries working it out. She looks at him; vampires can fly? Her question is silent.“Vampires can fly?” Her words broken, Lucifer’s laugh full of humour.“What do you see, Anais? Look at me, what do you see? What do you believe real Vampires are like? Answer me.” His questions are coming out in a flurry too quick for her to answer the questions instantly.“I see you, Lucifer, I see something worse than the devil himself, yet I see som
“You’re the devil.” Her words finally make him smile, her heart stops, realising she agreed to give her life to the devil himself and that she agreed there would be no turning back. No way of escaping whatever pain he decides to inflict on her.How crazy is she? People talk about making a deal with the devil as a joke, a joke about people who are cruel and nasty. Never did she think she would actually make a deal with the actual devil herself.Standing, he nods. He knows now there is no way he can let her go, no way at all, so he has to try not to kill her. How this will work, he doesn’t know.“You have to stay, you can’t leave, but I don’t expect anything from you. You made a deal with the devil without knowing you were, so I do not expect your love, your care, nothing, Anais.” His hands reach up to remove the restraints from around her wrists.His words broke her heart. She wants it though, she wants all t
“How about this, together we do it? You get your woman, and together we play, and I will stand beside you, Lucifer. I will help you recognise and act on those words. If you fail, I will still stand by your side.”Does she not realise her words? Lucifer stares at her; she is willing to stand by and watch as he possibly kills a woman for his own pleasure.“How do you find these women, Lucifer? Do you just drag them off the streets, or do you actually find women who like pain?”“I attract women, Anais. They come to me. I explain what I like, and they agree, it really is that easy.” Okay, he may stare at them, pushing them to agree, but they were interested in him anyway.“Websites Lucifer, there are websites and clubs where you can find women who love this stuff, rather than tricking innocent, vulnerable women into here who have no idea what they are agreeing to.”“Nails, while you can use th
The kiss is passionate and needy; she feels the urge to pull his clothes off, every fibre in her body screaming for more.“Are you sure about this, Anais?” Why is he asking her? Why does he even care if she is sure?“I believe in you, Lucifer, and only you will go to the extent I need to get pleasure, so yes, I’m sure.” She is scared that she won’t enjoy something, but this is Lucifer; she’s lucky he’s taken the safe words.His hands grab hers pulling her up from the bed, his hands slipping the blindfold down over her eyes. Her other senses instantly heightened. He guides her back to the dungeon.“Lift your left foot.” Lucifer’s voice is low; Anais lifts it feeling the heavy metal cuff wrap around get ankle. The feel of a mental chain under her foot, the sound of a padlock clicking, his hand releasing her foot. Her mind screams at her that she is crazy.She always has con
“Why are you here?” Lucifer stares at him, their eyes meeting. Belial looks around him, seeing Anais lying on the bed.“You keep saving her. She should be dead, Lucifer. You know the effects of saving a mortal repeatedly.” Lucifer knows he is right. The effects are bad, yet he can’t let her die.“Let me take her now while she doesn’t know, she won’t feel a thing, and she will never need to know you let me kill her.” Belial steps towards the bed, Lucifer quickly moving to protect her, his eyes glowing.“No, she is mine.” His anger radiating from within him, Belial laughs.“She will be your downfall Lucifer, or should I say your uprising.” Lucifer looks at him confused, then back to Anais.“Do you not see Lucifer? She is changing you, changing everything about you.” Lucifer shakes his head, unable to accept the words; she isn’t. Sure, she is somehow keepin
Anais finds herself alone for an entire week. Every day someone brings her food, but other than that, she sees and hears nothing. No one at all. No one speaks to her either. She wonders if this is really Lucifer. Instead of letting her go, he is just going to lock her away for the rest of her life.Yet, looking around, she can tell this place is different; something about it feels different. Sitting, she finishes reading yet another book; the man hasn’t been back, not even once. Is she really going to be left in here alone for the rest of her life?“Are you ready to leave and forget about Lucifer?” Anais jumps, hearing the voice, she hadn’t even heard the door open, or him walk in.“No, I won’t until I speak to him, and he tells me himself.” She can’t. She feels like she needs to run back to him even if he is sitting outside the door, knowing she is alone.“Oh, brother. How he doesn’t realise his
“You realise the truth, right?” Anais raises her head to look at him. She has been here for over twelve hours, he keeps giving her breaks here and there, but twelve hours of him constantly trying to burn the memories from her mind.“That you’re an arsehole?” Her words are flat.“Well, I won’t argue with that. I mean you and Lucifer, how will it work, Anais? You have to accept that if you and he do this, there is no future. Even if him falling in love with you doesn’t turn him mortal or pull him up to the rest of our brothers. He will hate you, hate you for turning him mortal. That will make him snap and kill you to become what he was before.”“Then he kills me. I’m not giving in, not until I see Lucifer, not until he tells me to.”“This is the curse. You realise that is why right? You don’t truly love him, you don’t truly want to wait for him to come and say leave, a
Lucifer sits thinking of a plan, a way to keep her alive but away from him. If she is away, he won’t fall in love with her. He won’t give in to her.He finds himself losing his senses, waiting for her to wake. It has been days, days since he fed. Since he hurt anyone, and that is crazy.That is him, yet now, all he can think about is waiting for her to wake up, waiting to make sure she is okay. He watches as she stirs in her sleep slightly. Moving closer, he sits on the edge of the bed.Anais wakes, her eyes glancing around the familiar and comforting room. Slowly looking around before they settle on Lucifer.“You need to leave Anais. Leave and promise me you will never look for me, never speak of me or this world.” Lucifer looks at her. It is the only way to save her, to keep her alive.“Why am I not dead?” She should be dead. She looks at Lucifer confused.“I was listening. I couldn’t sit the
