The Demon's Soul

Chapter 75 The existent- Part 1

I stood at the window, looking towards the bathroom as I heard the sound of shower behind the door.

Both Luke and I had received the trick cards which consisted of memories. Did Lucifer have any motive by sending me a particular fragment of my past?

Thinking carefully about it made me aware of the small connection between our memories. At the end of my dream Luke had said he didn't share while in his trick card Ace and I were kissing so did it mean that my father-in-law wanted to instigate jealousy in his son.

Lucifer was the worst! How could he send his own son such thing as a present?!

Seeing Ace and myself kiss made me realize that Luke was more skilled and knew what he was doing, reminding the kiss we shared in the woods. I knew I hadn't done anything wrong to be guilty about yet I felt my subconscious poking me that I had betrayed Luke all thanks to the card.

If only Luke had appeared sooner in my life.

"Why didn't you come sooner!" I yelled looking outside the window.

"Whom are you yelling at?" I heard Luke ask behind me making me jump out of surprise.

"A-ah no one."

He was only in his black jeans and a towel in his hand. When he turned his back on me to walk towards the closet I saw small droplets of water escape from the nape of his neck to slide down his back.

Charming, confident and bold. Lucian Knight was every woman's dream.

"Hot," I mumbled.

"What?"

"It's really hot today," I said going to pick the clothes that I had placed previously on the bed.

When I went to pick them, Luke suddenly pushed me on the bed and climbed up to hover over me while my hands were on his smooth bare chest to maintain distance between us. But my human strength was no match to this devils son. His hands found mine quickly and pinned it on either side of my face as his forest green eyes looked at me intently like he didn't want to miss even the smallest detail about me.

A small graceful smile made its way on his lips making me wary of him.

"I first thought it didn't matter that you were kissed by Ace but now I do even though you didn't have any recollection of the past previously," he said still smiling. Then the smile disappeared as he bent down and I shivered as the cold droplets of water dripped from the tips of his wet hair on my skin, "You're such a troublesome woman."

"What did I d-" I began to only be interrupted by him.

"I want to lock you away from everyone. To keep you away from danger so that no one would take you away from me or any prying eyes. Just for me to see, touch and hear," he said leaning forward towards my neck and blew warm air on my skin making me shudder, "Tell me what to do Lillian?" he asked me in a whisper.

"A-ah Luke wait. Nngh!" he bit my neck not so gently as his teeth held my tender skin. He then sucked the skin gently bringing out embarrassing sounds from my mouth that I was unaware of.

And when I thought he was done chomping, he bit the skin all over again. His hands sneaked inside my top as it glided on the curve of my waist.

Looking at the bare collar bone in front of me I took the opportunity to give a taste of his own medicine and bit him like he was a piece of chicken, making him growl in response. Ha how do you like that!

"Lillian," he whispered my name in my ears as my stomach knotted itself.

Soon he captured my lips, lifting my chin so that he could maneuver to his liking. Sucking the air out of my very lungs. My hand that was on the bed wound itself around his neck to pull him closer. Words he didn't voice out was clear as the day as the kiss was enough to convey Luke's emotions. There was anger, jealousy, agitation and somewhere along I felt he was holding on to me like a life he depended on solely.

When he pulled back my head was still reeling from the kiss and eyes felt dazed and fuzzy. He shook his head letting the remnants of water fall on me.

"Luke you're getting the bed wet with me," I protested trying to push him so that I could sit up.

"Mm I love the sound of it but then that was the idea," he said licking his lips suggestively making my eyes widen.

"Get your dirty thoughts out of your head," I said hitting him with a pillow and stood up, " I need a bottle of holy water," I muttered as I picked my clothes.

"You'll need more than a bottle of it but then I doubt if it'll work on me," he retorted with a smirk on his face. When I headed towards the bathroom I heard him say, "Wear something casual. We are going out."

"Alright," I replied locking the door and felt myself lean back on the door. My hand went to touch my lips and I closed my eyes.

In those fleeting moments, it made me aware of Luke's existence. I had made him go through so much yet not once did he blame me for it. He wasn't the whiny type or a person who poured out his deepest feelings. It made me wonder if his father had purposefully sent the card to loosen out his feelings that had been harbored since a long time.

So was Lucifer only helping his son out and didn't mean anything bad? What ever it was, he played dirty!

When I got ready and went down to meet Luke, my mouth fell open looking at him hold two helmets in his hand while he leaned over the blue bike.

"Where are we going?" I asked him as he straightened, handing one of the smaller helmets to me.

"Would you like it if I said we are visiting Hell?" he asked sitting on the bike.

"Definitely not," I replied dryly taking a seat behind him, "He gives me the creeps."

"Let's go ice skate if that is so," he replied starting the bike and not waiting for a reply as the dust kicked off the road.

It was a half an hour ride to the ice skating area. By the time I got off the bike and touched my hair that was previously hanging out of the helmet, it felt like I was touching a worn out broomstick.

"You know I don't know to ice skate right?" I asked Luke while we removed our shoes.

"Of course my darling wife that is because you never had the right teacher," he said with a grin and I shook my head.

I didn't understand why he had brought me here in the first place. Gwen was the skating queen. The last time we skated was with Ace and Cole. Time did fly by quickly, I thought.

"I know it brings back memories, Lillian," I heard Luke say to me seriously, "I believe facing one's nightmares is the best way than run away from them. Call me selfish if you want but I want your memories to be filled with us. Not a third person but me."

"You can go ahead. I'll be right behind you," I said with a thumbs up.

While I took baby steps inside the rink initially, Luke had already gone for a round and turned back to grin at me. Was there anything he wasn't good at? May be that was part of being a vampire.

The ice rink had a good amount of people on it and on one side I noticed a group of women staring at Luke. I moved on my own pace and saw a woman from the group approach towards were Luke was. Not happening!

No matter how much I tried sliding my skates it refused to move smoothly and I was sure I resembled like a duck.

"We do have it every summer. It would be a great pleasure having you there," I heard the woman say to my husband while he smiled at her.

"Of course, I'll see what I can do," he replied with a charming smile.

"Ahem," I cleared my throat and saw the woman raise her brow at me. Don't you raise that brow at me girl, I said through my eyes.

"Now if you'll excuse us. I would like to spend time with my beautiful wife," Luke said politely and she gave a tight smile before going away.

"You're a bad teacher. Smiling and talking at a pretty lady while not teaching me," I commented at him. I knew he wouldn't look at another woman and I was only teasing him.

"Am I now?" He questioned me tilting his head. He pulled me suddenly making me stumble on his chest, "I could teach you a lot of things," he spoke into my ears sensually making me blush.

"L-Luke you're being different," I said pushing my hands on his chest. Normally he would be sarcastic or charming but today he was just impossible for my brain to work.
