Chapter 229: Angel’s Lucifer

Evana woke up slowly to the soft snores of the man sleeping beside her. Turning around, she raised her head and stared at him with sleepy eyes. A soft sigh escaped her as she stared at him. Her fingers itched to caress his face and tug at his soft hair. He looked cute even when he snored. Gently, she traced his cheek and murmured," It’s a good thing you’re adorable when you are snoring. Otherwise, snoring is a total turn-off..."

Rolling onto her back, she sighed in melancholy. She would not be able to put off returning to Estania any longer. She played with the thoughts of asking him to prolong their relationship... But they did not even have a relationship...

She looked down at their intact clothing and shook her head. They’d not even ’slept’ together! In the very beginning, he’d warned her that he was in this only for the physical relationship. But they hadn’t even done that. If she had not felt his desire against her and the way he would look at her, she would have doubted that he was interested in her.

But he kept on holding back. And that gave her butterflies. Did he feel the same pull towards her that she felt for him. Was that why he was restraining himself because he did not want their time to become some meaningless entanglement? She told herself that she was overthinking things but her heart kept fluttering at odd times.

Rolling back onto her stomach again, she placed her chin on his chest and stared at his face, " I can’t believe you actually put me to sleep with a story about accounting! Do you really have such a boring job? Balance sheets and all that?"

Last night, when she’d finally gathered the courage to ask him about his personal life, ready to back off if he refused but then he had answered her after a pause. However, that answer had been so unexpected that he might as well have told her that he did not want to tell her. She’d expected him to tell her something like he was a racer or something dangerous and adventurous. When he told her that he was an ’accountant’ she’d been sure that he was pulling a fast one on her.

A boring job for a person like him! Her Lucifer looked as if he would not even be able to sit behind the table, let alone sit with boring numbers all day long. All that energy he had contained inside him. But then, he’d started talking numbers and made her fall asleep.

As she reminisced, a giggle escaped her. She was thinking of him as hers already...So foolish of her.

As her small laughter died down, she realized that everything seemed to be especially silent. Her eyes slid to his and she grinned up at him," Good morning, sleepyhead."

Lucifer gave her a half-hearted reply before pulling her upwards and into his embrace as he threw a leg over her hips and pulled him close to her, before snuggling into her embrace.

Evangeline blinked at the intimacy of the situation feeling herself go hot. His face was buried in her neck and she could feel his warm breath caressing her while his morning member made itself known against her stomach.

Carefully, she patted his back, "Lucifer, we need to wake up."

He hummed against her, pulling her closer instead of letting go before snoring again. Feeling all soft, she could not help but hold him close to her and smile again. So what if they did not consummate their relationship or give it a name, she would always be able to keep these beautiful memories and cherish them.

Time might be slipping away but these shared moments would always be hers.

Just as she was about to fall asleep again, a sudden knocking on the door surprised her. She tried to ignore it but the person seemed to be persistent. Irritated, she moved slowly, ready to slip out of his embrace but the man would simply not let her go...

Finally, the knocking on the door subsided and she lay back down, only to see Lucifer staring at her.

"What are you looking at?"

"You."

"Me?" The butterflies in her stomach fluttered again and she could only look away from his intense gaze.

"You are beautiful Evana. More than you know." Lucifer’s deep voice made her insides quiver even as she denied his words.

"Okay, stop trying to flirt with me, Lucifer."

"I am not, Evana. Evana...angel, we need to talk."

Evangeline looked at him with wide eyes. She’d always heard that this sentence was too ominous in a relationship but disregarded it. However, listening to him say this, she could only help but worry.

Pushing away from him, she tried to get off the bed as she said," Fine fine. We can talk about whatever it is you want after we’ve had breakfast. Also, remember what you promised me. We are going to spend the day together in here."

"We need to talk, Angel. Let’s do it now..."

Even as he said this, he let her go and suddenly she felt abandoned...

Looking at his sombre expression, she felt a heaviness in her stomach. What did he want to say. Whatever she was, she somehow instinctively knew that she did not want to listen to it...

When he reached for her hand, she stepped back. "Lucifer, I am scared suddenly. What is this about? Is it something I am not going to like..."

He looked away and she could see the regret in his face.

"Lets not talk about whatever it is you want to say, Lucifer. I am leaving for Estania today. Please. Until then. Don’t ruin these moments."

"You might regret this later on, Evana. Listen to me..."

She shook her head stubbornly," No. I cannot listen. I will not. Don’t talk anymore Lucifer. Just order some breakfast..."

"Evana..."

She heard him call her name but she had already run away from there, her heart in her throat.. No. Please no. Don’t let everything be ruined...
