Chapter 947 My Beautiful Monster Part 48
LUCIFER
Moreover, after disposing of those women. The rumors regarding their 'odd marriage' should vanish. Sending Lacy injured to Elisa means that Elisa will learn what happened. He could have easily healed Lacy's injuries but it would have made Elisa suspicious. He feels filthy. He didn't use his hands to touch Lacy but he still feels disgusted.
He has no idea how he used to behave. Before he experienced Sumire being by his side. How did he lose himself in other women? How did he pretend others were her? Just thinking about it disgusts him.
It disgusts him that he had to resort to touching other women. If possible he no longer wishes to do that. Even after he returns Sumire to her friends and Terashima. He doesn't want to force himself to touch others just to tame his beast. Now that they have consummated the bond, it should be easy to keep the beast at bay.
For the first time in so long, he feels like himself and he wants that to continue. He hasn't heard the beasts voice in some time now. At first he assumed it was due to the bargain they made, however
My husband? Will you focus on me?
Lucifer chuckled, feeling a gentle caress. Sumire didn't use her hands but it felt like it. She is getting better at this. It won't be long before they will be able to be more creative with the bond again. Hopefully it happens, before he has to return her.
Lucifer kissed behind her ear and Sumire shuddered. "Your thoughts went astray. What were you thinking?"
"Mmm, did you ask Toh to-do"
He nibbled her ear. "Are you really thinking of another man right now?"
"Of course not. I'm your wife, Lucifer."
He chuckled. "I see, then do your duties wife."
At those words Sumire frowns. "My duties huh."
"What are you thinking?"
"Mm, it's just. I was thinking of the state of the region. I was wondering if there was a way I could use my power to keep the darkness from the lands." Sumire trailed off and laughed weakly. "It's probably a crazy idea. If you can't do it, then there is no way that I-"
Lucifer cuts her off and shakes his head. "Do not belittle yourself. You have more power than you think you do." He trailed off. "Why don't we try it out? I can take you to the outskirts where the darkness isn't too bad."
Sumire's eyes lit up. "Really?"
Lucifer felt his heart speed up seeing the brightness in her eyes,
"Yes." It ought to be fine as long as he is with her and as long as they don't stay too long. Moreover, he is curious if she can truly push it away.
The reason why she ended up captured in their first life was because she had the ability to push away the darkness. Despite sharing the same curse as him. If she has retained those abilities, then it's possible. He knows better than to be too hopeful however. The curse is strong, even after so many lives. It should have weakened. But judging from the darkness in the lands, it has only grown stronger.
What is feeding the darkness? In their first few lives, it was easy to locate the source. But, he cannot find it in this one. No matter how many bases he sets up, he can't find the source of the darkness.
"I'm so glad. I don't have high hopes. But I should at least try. I want to do something for you Lucifer."
Lucifer kisses her forehead. "You have already done so many things for me wife."
Sumire's cheeks coloured. "Err not those things."
His lips curved to a smirk. "I was talking about making meals, tending to the garden, and controlling those hot blooded men of mine."
Understanding dawned on her features and Sumire struggled to break free from his hold. "Do not escape my Queen. I do not think you will like it, if I am forced to chase you down."
It would certainly test if his beast is simply hiding or doing it with Sumire is pushing him away.
His beast loves a good chase. Even if he is hiding, he wouldn't be able to hide for long.
Sumire reached over and caressed his cheek. "I think I have told you this already. I do not care what you do to me."
Lucifer growled. "You have no idea how dangerous those words are."
Moreover, if she doesn't stop leaning on him like this- Sumire looked at him with an innocent glint in her eyes. But, there seemed to be something else there. A hint of desire, possession. Is she deliberately trying to tease him to see his reaction? It's not unheard of, for the past her to do something like that. However, he didn't think the current he was capable of it.
Then again, it seems like he still has a lot to learn about her in this life. Perhaps she behaved this way with Toh and Terashima. Thinking of other men touching her angered him.
But while Terashima is his main concern, recently he has been wary of Toh. He hadn't realized they were that close. For her to remember Toh, and not Narasaki. It shows that Toh is more important to her. He knew they had an abrupt break up because of him. However, he hadn't realized that Sumire had yet to move on from Toh. He didn't think of the possibility that she may still harbor feelings for him. 𝒃𝒆𝙙𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝙤𝙢
If Toh truly becomes a problem. Then he will have no choice but to use his power to control him. So far, Lucifer has avoided doing this. He doesn't want a mindless subordinate, he wants someone who can take the initiative, someone who can take charge and make their own decisions even if it goes against his own.
Toh fills that criteria all too well. It would be a shame if he has to force him into submission. If he ends up resorting to this, it will be another thing Sumire will hate him for.
He shakes his head. Now isn't the time to think about this. Lucifer grabs a bottle from the shelf. "Allow me the honour of washing your hair, and caring for you?"
Sumire laughed softly. "Okay."
Right now, he should focus on her. Focus on the limited time they have together. Before he truly becomes her monster, her villain and enemy once more.
