Chapter 41


    "Enjoying the view?"


    She gasped and looked behind her and saw Lucifer standing there with his arms crossed on his chest.


    He was wearing a grey t-shirt and ck trousers. She immediately looked down, to avoid staring at


    him. August did not want him to think she was gawking at him, even though he looked handsome in his


    casual clothes with his hair slightly pushed back. She took a deep breath and took a step forward to


    walk past him. But, he grabbed her hand and stopped her.


    Her heart started to race, but she tried to calm herself by taking deep breaths.

    "I didn''t tell you to go, did I?" He asked in a low voice. She shook her head and whispered.


    "No, master." He hummed in response and pulled her close to himself, smashing her back to him. His


    hands were wrapped around her as he rested his chin on her shoulder.


    Her body started to shake, feeling him so close to her. Her soft petite body was pressed onto his rock-


    hard physique. She wanted to tell him to get away from her since she was deeply unsettled by this.


    She began to squirm to try and get out of his hold but he only tightened his arms around her.


    "Don''t move." He whispered into her ear. She froze in her spot. She felt his lips on her ear, moving his


    lips there, and trailing them down to her shoulder, leaving soft kisses along the way. She closed her


    eyes shut hating every second of what was happening, every touch that she could feel of him on her


    body, and every tingling sensation that was running all over her body. She hated him, so why did she


    feel like this? After taking a deep breath she finally said.


    "Y-you need to let go of me n-now." She whispered gripping his hands and trying to pry them off of her


    body. Lucifer, on the other hand, was enjoying the smooth skin on his lips. He loved how he could


    make her tremble in fear, he loved how every time he would leave a kiss, her body shook with


    excitement. An excitement that she was not aware of. He smirked in victory when those words came


    out of her mouth, sounding so vulnerable.


    Who am I kidding? She is always vulnerable.


    His inner voice said to him. He chuckled and let go of her and stood in front of her. He knew she would


    not run off because she was aware of the consequences. His eyes met with the moonlight that broke


    through the glossy windows. He stared at the moon for a few minutes then looked back at August. Her


    eyes were still looking down at her feet, they would asionally ze at the moon and went at her


    feet.


    You are not any less beautiful than this moon, butterfly.


    August''s breathing came to a stop when she heard him saying those words. She stood there nervous


    and hesitant. Lucifer judged her actions.


    Did he say that too loud?


    He chucked at his thought.


    Yes, he did say that. And he did not regret it. He could not help it. She was the most beautiful girl he


    had everid his eyes on. His face twitched, showing that he was hiding a smile. He did not realize that


    he had begun to smile often nowadays.


    But it soon disappeared, recing his charming smile with nothing but a cold and unforgiving


    expression, recing the bloom of his eyes with dullness. The thought of someone else seeing her the


    way he saw her was unbearable to him. His fists were clenched together and his nails were digging into


    his palm, making them turn white.


    He made sure August does not see this as he did not want to scare her aware. He was finally close to


    her after so long, he had no wish to ruin it. He turned to her again and noticed her uneasiness, she


    nced at the sky sometimes, trying to admire the sight. But, it did not seem possible as he was


    standing right beside her, her tormentor.


    "Darkness finally arrived, fighting the light of the day and wrapping itself around the world." His voice


    startled August and she listened to his words carefully and responded with a low voice.


    "But, the light fights the darkness all night, making the sun victoriously rise again." Lucifer chuckled.


    She never failed to amuse him.


    He spoke again. "Do you think there is an exnation of the darkness?" August nodded her head. "Of


    course there is, Master. There is an exnation of everything." She replied, not knowing why he would


    ask such a question.


    He hummed. After a few seconds pause, he said, "Tell me. How do you define it?" August thought for a


    moment and looked up at him with her glossy green eyes and replied. "The absence of light." She was


    confident.


    He smiled slightly looking at the moon and tilted his head to her. "Precisely." He said with slightly


    smiling at her and walking back before turning around and leaving her in confusion. Once again.


    What is it with him being so mysterious?


    August whispered to herself. However, although she was surprised by his gentleness towards her, it


    made her worried as well. However, she left the living room and started walking back to her room;


    Lucifer had left for his business trip not before ncing at August for the millionth time. Sometimes he


    would catch her staring back at him and quickly shifting her eyes elsewhere, which made him smirk


    every time.


    He hated that he would be gone for a whole week. Oh, how pleasant were thoughts that he was having


    while being close to August! Now he could not because of the darn business deal in Japan. His teeth


    clenched together as he closed his eyes and rested his head on the seat of his private jet. Only a few


    of his office employees were apanying him. It was a long journey, he was well aware of it, and he


    would be a long time over there in Japan. Although he warned  to not let any of the maids out of the


    house, he was worried about August. What if something happens while he was not there?


    Lucifer did inform Ethan and Ebenezer to check on his house every day, but... remembered how angry


    he had got when he saw any of them talking to her. He hated it. However, after few hours of flight, he


    reached his destination. After getting out of the ne, his luggage was taken by the car driver who was


    already waiting for him there. He got in and after 20 minutes which went by like 5, he reached the hotel


    room he would be staying at. He thought to rest for half an hour or so before leaving for his


    meeting.
