Lucifer

End of S2:E11 to beginning of E12

I liked how this beach scene between Lucifer and Chloe played out on the show. You can see the emotion on their faces but I wondered what was going on in their minds.

The way Episode 11 ends leads one to many other scenarios as to how Episode 12 starts and plays out. Again, this is my take of what could have happened between those scenes. I've written 3 chapters so far. Chapter 1 & 2 will be posted for now. Chapter 3 is not completed yet. There may be a Chapter 4 but it will depend on how Chapter 3 plays out in my mind.

Chloe told Dan that she would see him back at the precinct the next day. She looked around for Lucifer. Where did he get to now? His car was no longer at the hanger. She walked around the investigation site but after a while, she tracked his phone with her phone's GPS app. She walked the seawall and eventually she saw him on the beach. Lucifer was standing, watching the waves with his back to her. He had his suit jacket off, slung over one shoulder and the other hand in his pocket. Chloe stopped before descending the steps to the beach to look at his 6'3" form. The vest he wore fitted his broad shoulders and nipped him at the waist perfectly. His pant legs were always at the perfect length for his long legs. The thick, jet, black hair was always styled right and even the breeze from the ocean could not whip a strand out of place. What is going on with him? Chloe wondered. She walked down the steps to reach the beach and walked towards him.

Lucifer heard someone approaching from behind and slightly turned to see Chloe.

"Hey, I've been looking for you everywhere. I tracked your phone's GPS."

"Well, here I am," he answered her then turned back to the ocean.

Okaaayyy, thought Chloe. "Well, we should wrap up the arrest report…and by that, I mean paperwork, not some celebratory drink that you'll then turn into a moment," she continued with a smile, trying to lighten the mood.

Lucifer chuckled. "Yes, well…I've changed my mind about that, actually. I've realized it would never work out between us."

"Really?" Chloe asked, trying to keep calm.

"Yes. So, from now on, no more attempts at moments. I'd be honoured to simply continue working by your side," Lucifer said with a slight bow in her direction. Chloe looked him. No, he can't be taking a step back. I don't want him to…

"If you'll have me," Lucifer continued.

"Of course," she nodded.

"Good."

"Yeah…but it's not like you to give up," Chloe tried.

"No, I haven't given up. I had an epiphany of sorts…You deserve someone worthy of you and that isn't me," Lucifer explained, his voice saddened.

Noooo… "That's not what I've been saying, Lucifer."

"I know. It's what I'm saying. You deserve someone better…because you, Detective, are selfless to a nauseating degree." Chloe had a concerned look on her face. "You always put your daughter first even though the ungrateful urchin does nothing to contribute to the rent." Chloe chuckled at the mention of Trixie. "So…you deserve someone worthy of that grace." Lucifer paused and looked out to the ocean then back to Chloe.

He started again, "Someone who knows that every crime scene breaks your heart, even though you'd never admit it." Chloe was looking at him now. She seemed to be waiting for something more. He continued.

"Someone who actually appreciates your impossibly boring middle name, 'Jane.' He knows my middle name. "More importantly, Detective, you deserve someone as good as you…because…well…" Lucifer paused and looked into her eyes, "You're special and I'm…" Lucifer took a deep breath and exhaled, "I'm not worth it." His eyes turned down from hers and looked to the ocean. His own words saddened him.

Chloe nodded her head as she didn't know what to say at this moment. This man who is always so sure of himself, is now backing away from me because I haven't shown him how I truly feel about him. I must do something...

"Yeah, you're probably right," she replied more to herself than to him. She closed the small distance between them. Lucifer turned his head and she placed a small kiss on his lips.

"Detective," Lucifer breathed.

Chloe looked up into Lucifer's eyes. I have to you show you that you're not right on this, Lucifer. With that thought, she reached up to pull him to her lips. Lucifer reached out to encircle her waist and slowly brought her to him. Her kiss was slow and tentative at first but when Lucifer didn't deepen the kiss as she thought (or hoped) he would, she pressed her body further into him and slipped her tongue into his mouth. She ran her hands into his thick hair and held his head in place.

This was Lucifer's undoing. He moaned and responded back with his own tongue while he tightened his grip on her waist. This woman! What is she doing to me? Can I have her now? He continued to plunder her mouth.

Chloe was holding on tight to Lucifer. She got the response she had been expecting, had been wanting and she didn't want it to end now. When his tongue had finally met hers, a certain heat engulfed her. She didn't know if it was from their breath, the air around them, or from his body. To look at him, he was hot. His body was definitely hot, and it could be that his body emitted this heat to hers. But the sensation she felt, as they were still kissing, was from an internal heat within her own body...rising to the point that Lucifer felt it.

I have to have her, but I don't want to scare her. I must tread carefully...

Lucifer slowed the kiss and pulled Chloe slightly away from him. She looked up at him with glassy eyes while he rested his forehead on hers. Their breathing was both laboured, yet they didn't pull out of each other's arms.

"Let's get out of here, Detective."

Chloe nodded her head and let Lucifer guide her to his Corvette with his arm still around her waist. He opened her door and she slipped onto the expensive leather seat. Lucifer brought the machine to life and started towards LUX.
