Chapter 242

I can’t believe I actually just said it?! I was thinking for the perfect moment to say it, but I just couldn’t bring myself to wait any longer. I’ve been feeling bad for him lately for what I did back then, and I really didn’t wanted him to feel like I actually disliked him, because that seemed to be the impression that I gave to him back then.
But I can’t believe that I just said it out loud and without any problem?! What is wrong with me and my stupid head? I am really me right now? I feel like I am just growing more and more stupid by the second. Is this how love makes people feel? That they’re losing braincells? Well, I don’t even have a brain.
However, when Lucifer said that to me, I really felt it… And while we watched the small town in front of us, I ended just telling him, so he can be reassured that I like him and that he is indeed needed in my life. I kind of like to spend some time alone with him, while the girls seem to have some good chemistry while we do fluffy stuff, Lucifer is more of a silent and too serious type, so being alone with him feels better than when we are with the girls.
Also, he kind of feels awkward while trying to be fluffy with me when the other girls are around, mostly due to their intense stares… so having me all for himself gives him a bit more of confidence, that’s for sure.
Lucifer looked at me with a bit of surprise as I said those words, he really thought I disliked him…
“You rally thought I disliked you, didn’t you?” I asked. “Ugh… I am sorry, okay? I never wanted to create that feeling of insecurity within you…”
“I-Is that so…? I… Since then that I really thought you disliked me but…” he said. “Now that I think about it, I was very rough back then… So I won’t try to force myself into you…”
“M-Maybe a bit forceful but it was still okay… You don’t have to apologize too much.” I said. “Don’t worry, I already forgave you for that and I really do… do… do love… you.”
“M-Maria…”
Lucifer seemed very embarrassed, as his pale face continued to grow redder, and his charming red eyes seemed to look into my very soul, his long silvery-white hair looked silky and his skin was like porcelain, his face’s features were handsome too… Although his true form is a giant lizard with wings, so I also have to learn to like him in that form.
“You’re feeling better?” I asked, as I held his hand.
“Yeah… I feel… Somewhat… Within my heart, it feels warm…” he said.
“W-Warm?” I asked. “How so?”
“I don’t know… But it feels like something in me is finally alive…” he said. “I’ve been dead for so long that I have already forgotten what it felt to be alive, and what it felt to have a beating heart… But somehow, my heart… It is beating.”
I touched Lucifer’s chest… and it was true.
What is this?
His heart shouldn’t be beating, he’s dead after all, he’s an Undead!
Yet somehow, his heart is beating…
I approached my head to his chest, to hear his heart beating.
Ba dump…
Ah… It is really beating, slowly… but it is.
How strange. I genuinely don’t know what’s going on with him.
Is this really just for love? Because he finally feels alive due to love, so his heart began to react to his passion, and it began to beat?
It even feels warm, the heart is really pumping warm blood across his body…
Wow… I don’t know why but this is pretty amazing.
Lucifer gently hugged me with his slender arms, as I slowly looked up to him, resting over the chest of a guy is not bad at all… I feel protected by his arms, and his face… Uwah, is he smiling?! Ahh… He’s really handsome.
“Thank you for helping me feel alive once more, Maria…” he said.
“L-Lucifer…” I said, as I slowly approached my face to him.
“M-Maria…” he said, doing the same, as he approached his face to me.
“I-Is this okay? It is okay for you?” he asked before doing the deed.
“Yes… Kiss me.” I said.
While being hugged by my beloved, he kissed me gently with his warm lips, giving me the warmth of love that I have given to him. I felt as if I was also slightly alive too.
His kiss was something else… It was warm, and soft, so gentle, yet filled with a strong passion. His arms hugging me from behind felt as if they were protecting me from the cruel world outside, while I immersed myself in the passion of our lips touching one another.
Without realizing it, our kiss lasted longer than we expected, and my tongue even slipped inside, both of our tongues touched for a little bit, and it felt so nice yet so tingly… it made me get a bit of chills down my body, is this lewd? It felt more like something even more personal.
I didn’t wanted to stop kissing him, in fact, I suddenly felt the urge for him to embrace me, to hug me more, to kiss me more, to tell me that he loves me, to throw me into bed and… show me how much he loves me…
Ahh…
When our lips finally separated, we looked at one another lovingly.
I’ve never kissed someone with such passion before… Well, I actually did, with Emeraldine, but it would be rude to compare the two kisses, both are special to me.
“So? How was it?” I asked timidly. “D-Do I kiss well?”
Lucifer smiled as he kissed my nose and then my forehead, and hugged me back, caressing my hair.
“Yes, you kiss very good…” he said. “You’re so beautiful and cute… Maria… As a dragon, I think I have finally found my treasure…”
“L-Lucifer…”
I think that’s the most romantic thing a dragon can say to the woman they love.
