Chapter Four
Lucifer takes a large swig of his scotch as he watches everyone dancing at the club. His mind is not on the beautiful women, just one woman in particular. She is familiar to him, like she knows which buttons to push, but she is also a stranger to him. Maze walks over to replace Lucifer's empty glass with a full one.
"You are thinking about her," Maze notes.
"How do you know her?" Lucifer asks.
"She has been my competition in bounty hunting for a little bit, but she is also sending out the requests for a few people. She and I do not get along because of her interest in you," Maze says.
"What do you know about her father?" Lucifer asks.
"I know as much as you know, Lucifer. She says he served you in Hell, but I am unsure what he did," Maze says. Lucifer takes a small drink as he stares at a few women trying to put on a show for him.
"I am intrigued by her and I want her," Lucifer says.
"Lucifer, she is dangerous to be around, more so since Amenadiel is connected to her," Maze says.
"Ah, I forgot about him," Lucifer says. "He may have the answers we are looking for."
"Lucifer, let it go," Maze says. Lucifer ignores her as he goes in search of his brother, only to him upstairs sitting alone, or so it seemed. Alexandra smiles as she holds up a glass of red wine from behind the little bar.
"You seem to have a nice collection of alcohol, Luc," Alexandra says. She is wearing a black slip dress with a slit up her right leg, black stilettos, and her hair is pinned up with a few strands left to fall to the side of her face. "I was beginning to wonder when you were going to come up and join us."
"Why are you here with my brother?" Lucifer says with a smile. Alexandra holds up a hand gun, pointed at Amenadiel, and finishes her drink.
"I want him dead," Alexandra growls. "That is what you owe, Lucifer. Your brother's life for my father's."
"I hardly think it is fair," Lucifer chuckles. Amenadiel stands up, but sits back down when Alexandra walks over to him.
"You never really liked your annoying brother anyways, so what does it matter that he dies? He is just here to keep an eye on you because your father asked him to, but that was the original mission for him," Alexandra says. She pushes the barrel against Amenadiel's temple and laughs a little.
"Darling, he is not worth it," Lucifer says with his hands held up in surrender.
"Yes he is, mother swore he was worth it before she died. I lost everything because of him!" Alexandra says.
"She is right, I did what father asked me to do and now I am paying for that," Amenadiel plays along. Alexandra tsks, walks up behind Amenadiel putting her arms around him and lets the barrel of the gun slide to the underside of his chin.
"Do not tell me things you wish to hear. I have been alive long enough to know when people are lying," Alexandra purrs. She kisses Amenadiel's temple softly, lays her cheek against his head, and looks at Lucifer. "You cannot save him from his fate."
"Alexandra, you are not someone that would kill a man like Amenadiel," Lucifer says calmly. Alexandra cocks the gun and then pulls the trigger, but the only thing that happens is a sound of the barrel being empty. Alexandra stands up straight with a smile and she holds her arms up to the side just before Amenadiel gets to his feet.
"I am not here to actually take your brother's life. I just wanted to have a little fun," Alexandra laughs. She walks around the couch over to Lucifer. "You can leave now, Amenadiel."
"You do not order me around," Amenadiel says sternly.
"No, your presence is no longer needed, brother. You can leave now," Lucifer says with his eyes locked on Alexandra's. Amenadiel leaves begrudgingly and Lucifer pulls Alexandra close to him once the elevator doors close. "You are very naughty, Alexandra."
"Indeed, but you like it very much," Alexandra purrs. She slides her hands up Lucifer's back slowly until she reaches his wings and that sets an alarm off in his head.
"No, do not touch there," Lucifer says, as he takes a few steps back. Alexandra puts her hands on her hips and cocks it to the side.
"Your father did give it back to you," Alexandra notes. "Too bad, I was hoping to fuck the devil."
"I am still the devil," Lucifer says with a raised brow.
"Not with those wings," Alexandra laughs a little. She saunters to the bar, but Lucifer grabs her from behind and pulls her against his chest. He slides one hand down her leg while the other one goes up her stomach.
"Why do you tease me with so much ease?" Lucifer whispers.
"Because I am not like the rest of the women that fawn over you. I am someone that you cannot have," Alexandra whispers back and pushes him back to make her way back to the bar once more. "You will not get me in your bed, Lucifer, because I am not going to let you fuck me and leave. I am girl that wants something permanent."
"You are not one of those girls," Lucifer chuckles.
"So you think," Alexandra grumbles. She pours herself another glass of wine, leaning against the bar to tease Lucifer, and he walks over to her quickly. Alexandra spins around and stops him with her foot and a wide smile on her face. "Luc, you can look but cannot touch."
"Why have you come to see me? I am sure the case is not the only reason you are here," Lucifer says with a soft groan of frustration.
"She knows you are here on Earth, Lucifer. She is waiting for you to become vulnerable before she strikes at you like the snake she sees you as," Alexandra says. The smile on her face disappears slowly as she lowers her leg. "I am here to warn you, Lucifer. Beware of who you love."
"Who is she?" Lucifer asks. His face serious as he watches Alexandra finish her glass before heading to the elevator.
"She loved you once and tricked you at the same time," Alexandra says with a small wave as the doors close.
