Eternal Melody



LUCIFER 

He loses count how many times he takes her before Sumire stops him.

"Mmmmm I don't think I can take it anymore." 

Lucifer chuckled as he kissed her neck. "Alright, we shall stop here." He drew back and sat them both up. 

'Although, I still wish to continue. I want to respect her wishes.' Sumire is not like the other women he has bedded in this life. No, all those other women would throw themselves at him shamefully. There were those who started off as innocent, but after spending just a single night with him, they became the same as all the others. Those women are experienced and have been used so many times.

On the other hand, Sumire has only ever given herself to the men she is in a relationship with. Her body is a lot more fragile. 'I can't take her aggressively like I do the others, I have to be careful with her.' At first, he was doing his best not to frighten her away. So he was being careful. 

But now that they have gotten to know one another better. The more sensitive he is to her needs.

Sumire reached over for his cloak and wrapped it around him causing him to chuckle.

"Hmm?"

"You'll catch a cold."

'I should probably tell her that it's impossible for me to be sick. But, I do like her worrying about me like this. I do like the attention she gives me.'

"What is it?" Lucifer asked, noticing her staring at him.

"T--the marks I made will you...be hiding them?"

"Not at all." His lips curve to a smirk. "I'm partial to showing them off."

He wants everyone to know that she belongs to him. 

"Do that then."

Is she still jealous? Lucifer nuzzled his face against hers and placed his hand on her stomach. "A child, do you want one?"

He knows they have had this discussion before. But their relationship has gotten better recently. Perhaps he can hope.

Sumire paused. "I will be honest with you. I may not have my memories. But, I have always felt that I do not understand the concept of family."

Lucifer frowned hearing those words. Of course she doesn't. In all her lifetimes she has been born into a wealthy family. She has had to suffer the burden of living such a restricted life.  In each life he met her, she would either be running from her family or arguing with them. 

"I don't know how to feel. However, a future with you. I truly want to make that possible." Sumire plays with the buttons on his cloak. "Lucifer, you want a child don't you? I realized after the conversation we had last time."

Lucifer nods and sighs deeply. "But, I do not want you to feel pressured. Even if you say you're okay with not having your memories. I know it bothers you to think of a future with a man you do not remember."

Sumire pauses. "I'll admit at first I was uneasy. But the more I got to know you, I realized I wouldn't mind. If it's you my husband, I don't mind having children."

His gaze softens at her words. "Then, I'll call for a doctor. You've been drinking the tonic to prevent pregnancy. But, like the pills. There is a high chance of it not working."

Sumire sighed in relief. "I was worried what you would think, with me suddenly changing my mind."

She doesn't have to worry. He has already made his mind up. That he would do anything for her, as long as it is within his power. If she wants to have his child. Then she shall. If she wants to bring others to their bed, he would have let her. 

Initially he was worried about the atmosphere of the people in this manor affecting him. While he doesn't bring his hanyou subordinates here. There is still the harem, and even the servants enjoyed spending passionate nights. How does she remain so pure surrounded by all this corruption?

Seeing her drowsy eyelids, Lucifer kisses her forehead again. "Get some rest my wife, you need it."

She will need it, because he has plans for her after this.

  _______________________________

The next few days he is unable to control himself from taking her constantly. But, even then he reminds himself how fragile she is.

'I never thought I had this much patience before I met her. In their first life together. I was a notorious playboy. I would never have considered a woman's needs over my own. However, all it took was meeting her for everything to change.'

It's the same in this lifetime too. Even after he lets her go, Lucifer can't imagine himself treating women the way he has been. He can't imagine himself touching someone who isn't her anymore.

"Husband." Sumire said softly. "I--O think we should rest.

"No." He refused. "I enjoy being inside you, my wife."

"I-I know you do but--" Sumire takes a deep breath. "T-this is enough!" She exclaimed.

Lucifer chuckles and kisses her forehead softly. "Very well." 

Sumire sighed in relief.

"I am afraid I have to leave you for a few days."

Amid their passionate love making, he caught a glimpse of a message from Toh on his phone. Unfortunately it was business he couldn't ignore. He has dismissed loads of work the last few days. But this is one he can't feign ignorance or pass on to another person.

"Oh." Sumire mumbled.

"When I return," His lips curve to a smirk. "I shall be making it up to you."

"Before you go, can you do something for me?"

Lucifer chuckles knowingly. "Of course to the very last minute I shall fill you."

Sumire's cheeks turned a rosy red. No matter how many times he sees her this way, it never gets old. 

"That's not it." Sumire bit her bottom lip.

She only did that when she was nervous.

"What's the matter?"

Sumire pointed to her phone on the nightstand. "I want you to unblock a few things for me."

Lucifer frowned. He knew that she was aware that he was restricting the usage on her phone. But, she made it seem like she was okay with it. It never occurred to him that she would be interested in researching anything blocked. As long as it has nothing to do with Terashima, it ought to be alright.
