Chapter 297: So beautiful

Evana stepped into the bubble bath, slowly sitting down, letting the warm bath pull away the tension inside her. She sighed contentedly and leaned back her head as the stress melted away.

She smiled softly with her head leaning against the edge as she thought of the romantic proposal she had just witnessed. Never could she have imagined that the man known as

Demon would have such a soft side to him. When Lucien had whisked her away, just before midnight, telling her that he had something better to show than fireworks, she’d been amused.

And when those words had lit up... she shook her head at her own foolishness. Thank goodness she’d frozen for a moment, giving the others a chance to get there or she would have said yes. And that worried her. She wanted to say yes. If he really asked, she would jump at the chance.

This worried her even more so than before. Each minute that she spent with him, she wanted to hold onto as if it was the last. Soon, it would be time for him to return. What would she do then? Would he want a long-distance relationship? Would she?

Her inexperience worried her. Tomorrow, on the first day of the new year, she would ask him. She needed to stop burying her head in the sand and discuss the future. He’d already told her he liked her so how far did this liking stretch?

As the warm water-cooled, Evana reluctantly decided it was time to come out. She reached for a plush towel hanging on the side. As she tied the towel in a firm knot enjoying the immediate warmth it provided as she stepped out, only to hear her phone ringing in the distance.

Hurriedly, she raced outside and the caller id had her grinning widely. "Lucifer." Quickly, she answered the call, placed the phone on the dresser, and prepared to change into her nightwear as she spoke to him. It would be good to get into bed with his voice in her ear.

Quickly,she skipped towards the dresser, to grab her clothes when she heard a sharp intake of breath and Lucifer’s voice as he cursed. Surprised, she turned back only to notice his face on the screen, peering at her intently.

And then he spoke, " I never would have thought that I’d be jealous of a towel in my life someday."

With a small scream, she rushed to the phone and disconnected the call while shaking her head at her stupidity. Why was it a video call? Why had she answered without checking!

Placing the phone face down, she ignored its existence as it rang again and hurried to get her clothing on. Suddenly she wanted to wear her most comforting old T-shirt and shorts instead of the silky ones. Pouting, she grabbed her most ragged T-shirt and slipped it on but a naughty little thought stopped her from wearing anything beneath that.

Grabbing her phone, she quickly slipped under the covers and decided to call him back, whispering shyly, "Hello?"

"Hi yourself." His vice came back, a bit breathlessly.

Disconcerted at his voice, she looked at the phone and frowned, asking, "Are you running in the middle of the night? Why are you breathless?"

She heard him curse and mutter something under his breath before he spoke, "Angel... do you have any idea how hot you looked just then? With that ’caught’ expression, the towel offering to slip down at any moment, and those water droplets clinging to your shoulders... First you give me fodder for a thousand fantasies and then you cut me off? What do you expect me to do?"

Evana blinked at his words. He’d seen so much in a few seconds. Even the water droplets on her... "Then...tsk tsk, are you playing with yourself?"

She blushed as she asked the question, feeling naughty and powerful at the same time. However, the shameless man replied audaciously," Of course not! Why would I settle for my hand when I could have yours."

Just then she heard a small sound go off and turned to look at the security screen on the side wall, which had lit up as he spoke," I am here, angel."

She watched as the man keyed in her passcode and entered her house as if he owned it. It barely took her a few minutes to put on her clothes and he’d run all the way here? What the...

"No no no! Don’t come. I’m already asleep. Go away."

She heard his chuckle and quickly grabbed the soft pillow toy herself and hugged it, burying her face in it as she closed her eyes, throwing away her phone. She was going to be sleeping when he came.

The quiet opening of the door had her nails clutch the toy tighter and she cursed herself again. She should have made sure that she would have some vision at least. Now, she had no idea what was going on. She could hear him step into the room and the door closed soon, with a soft click.

"Ahh, Are you pretending to be asleep, angel? That’s alright. I’m sleepy too."

She felt the bed dip from the side and realized that he was getting into the blanket from the other side. Unexpectedly, his next move had her jumping and her eyes going wide. The man directly caught her toy, slipped it out of her grasp, and took its place. His hand was on her thigh, just near the edge of the t-shirt, making her acutely aware that she had nothing under that.

"Are you ignoring me, angel?"

She mock glared at the man and would have said something when his hand, slid under the t shirt. The grin on his face widened and he looked essentially like a wolf as he slid closer to her, taking hold of her thigh and placing it on his hip," My my! I found treasure... It is going to be a good year for me."
