Thank you for the reviews! I swear I'm working on Devil's Child but this story has taken over my brain at the moment.

For the next few weeks Maze watch the mortal and Lucifer play their silly game. The mortal insulted him, was rude, reject him every day. But, she could see Lucifer's obsession growing. His eyes constantly on the mortal, and true to his devilish word he was more than attentive. No sooner would the mortal say she was hungry than Maze was forced to bring something from the kitchen for her. The mortal complained of a slight chill and Lucifer sent Maze upstairs to find a jacket left behind by some forgotten starlet. And one it went. Usually with protest from the mortal. She was no more welcoming to Lucifer's attentions then before he hatched his new plan.

It was not one of Lucifer's better ideas. Maze thought it rather clumsy, even, thought she was loathed to use the word in relations to Lucifer, desperate. And that she could not stand. This mortal was making Lucifer no better than a desperate school boy trying to impress his crush with stuff animals and a custom play list. It made her burn with rage. He was Lucifer, the King of Hell and he was making a complete fool of himself.

It was the night the case they had been working on was solved that the solution came to Maze. Lucifer had somehow convinced the mortal to come to the Lux to celebrate. Maze saw them walking in just as she was finishing cleaning the last of the glasses from the bar from last call.

"Maze, darling two drinks please. Our usual orders if you don't mind." He barely looked at her as he spoke. His eyes were locked onto the mortal next to him. She listen as she made the drinks. If it wasn't stopping Lucifer for going back to hell she would have laughed at how hard he was trying to impress the mortal.

"Really detective, your home is nice but it is rather far from the precinct. And a woman such as yourself should have her own place. What if your mother were to walk in while you had a gentleman caller?"

"Right, I'll just go out and get a penthouse on my salary." The mortal said in her that sarcastic ton she used with Lucifer.

"No of course not. Don't be ridiculous. But you know, I do own several very lovey places around the city.

Maze set their drinks down, forcefully. Lucifer gave her a displeased look.

"Thank you Maze. Off you go now." She felt his eyes on her back as she left. Let him be displeased she though. He was being a complete idiot and she would let him know that however she could. As she reached the stairs she her the mortal rebuffing Lucifer's offer and the clinking of ice as the mortal picked up her drink. An idea slowly formed in Maze's mind and by the time she got to the top of the stairs her frown was, as the earth saying went, turned upside down.
