Chapter 226: Lucifer’s Angel

Evangeline’s breath caught in her throat as Lucifer pulled her close, his hand settling firmly on the curve of her hip as the dance music began to play in the background. She could feel his heat even through her clothing, the distance between their bodies evaporating.

With expert movements, he guided her along the beat, their hips swaying in synchronized beats. For a moment, she worried about her security or someone clicking her picture and sending it to her family, but all that was soon forgotten as his hand moved over her back, tracing the line of her spine to the lower back. With a firm but gentle hand, he twirled her body away from him, before pulling her back in.

Soon, Evangeline was lost in music, forgetting everything else. The last five days had been the best in her life and she did not want them to end. But tonight...

The music heated up and Lucifer pulled her closer still, his eyes staring into hers as if challenging her to try and move away from him. As if she could. He was like the pied piper and she could only follow him.

As the music slowed down to a melody, Lucifer slowly stepped back. The intimacy between them might have disappeared but she could still see the heat in his eyes. Without a word, he led her away from the dance floor, his fingers entwining with hers.

They reached the crowded bar and Evangeline could not help but frown as she spoke into his ear," There’s no place here to sit..."

But instead of answering, Lucifer dragged her towards a barstool at the far end. She looked at the barstool and then at him, waiting for him to pull it for her. Instead, the man sat down himself as he placed the order for their drinks.

Confused over his sudden lack of manners when he’d been a gentleman all these days, Evangeline was about to question him when he growled," Why aren’t you sitting." Before she could reply there was no place, the man pulled her between his spread knees, caught her by the waist and the next moment, she was sitting on a rock hard thigh...

Even before she could assimilate to the new ’seating arrangement’ and wiggle off his thigh, he tapped her hip in a warning and Evangeline froze.

However, once she’s settled down, he simply continued to trace little circles over her hip as he stared broodingly at some thing behind the bar.

Meanwhile Evangeline felt as if she was going to hyperventilate. Five days since she had met Lucifer and he’d kept her on tenterhooks. The man seemed to be enjoying this game that he was playing.

She stared at the side of his face, taking advantage of the fact that he wasn’t paying attention and sighed. It was like staring at a statue. He had the perfect chiseled face and his hair was somehow always messy, falling over his forehead, adding to that dangerously laid back feel he exuded.

"You’re staring, angel baby." The man commented, without even turning his head. Evangeline blushed a bit but quickly raised her chin," So? I like what I see... I’m going to continue looking."

The made the corner of his lips lift up and he finally turned his head to look at her. His finger gently traced just under her chin as he said," If you do that, then you’ll fall in love with me. I can’t have that..."

Evangeline’s eyes widened and she almost blurted out that it was too late for the warning. My gosh! She would probably never see him again if she said that.

"As if I’d fall so soon... You are the one who has fallen..."

"Me?"

Lucifer cocked his head and looked at her, making her want to look away. There was something in the way he stared at her that made her feel uneasy.

"I meant you are the fallen angel, Lucifer..."

The man laughed at that and even his laugh made her feel something...

"You are right. You are a fallen angel’s Angel..."

As she heard this, Evangeline wanted to say something but before she could their drinks had arrived.

She looked at the iced tea in front of her with dismay. The man already knew she liked iced tea and she appreciated that, but she needed something more tonight. Something stronger. After all, she HAD to seduce this man...

Evangeline licked her lips slowly as she wondered how to do this. With the way he was, she’d assumed that they would be spending every waking moment on bed but the man had been teasing her mercilessly unable to sleep at night because of him. Tonight, she needed to get him inside her so she could get him out of her system! She grimaced at the bad pun in her mind but knew it was the truth.

She’d never been attracted to anyone else in her life. Whether it was the lack of interest or her focus on her work, she’d had no relationships. But with Lucifer... She’d felt a connection that first time and now, it seemed to be getting stronger with each passing day. And now she had stupidly started thinking that it was love...

Suddenly, she felt a slight sting on her lower lip and she looked at Lucifer with wide eyes. He’d bitten her! Just enough to sting but still...

The man then rubbed his thumb over her lip and shrugged his shoulder," I don’t like you ignoring me..."

Evangeline felt those words rush all over her and she finally threw caution to the wind. She watched as he sipped his own whiskey and leaned in, whispering," I want some of that."

Taking his lips with hers, she kissed him hard, biting his lip the way he had her. She tasted the slightly bitter taste of his drink before she forgot everything as he took over the kiss.

Panting, she leaned back and whispered," We need to go upstairs Lucifer..."
