Chapter Twenty
Alexandra grumbles as she bends over to go through the awful filing cabinet in her office when she hears a knock on her door. She looks over to see Chloe standing in the doorway with an awkward smile on her face. Alexandra stands up, put the papers on her desk, and motions for Chloe to come in.
"What can I help you with, Decker?" Alexandra asks.
"I wanted to talk to you about Lucifer," Chloe says while closing the door.
"No, he is not to be a topic of conversation right now," Alexandra says firmly.
"Okay, then why is he showing up at me apartment drunk and talking about you and Dan hooking up?" Chloe asks.
"Okay, look, nothing is going on between me and Espinoza except for crashing on his couch for another week," Alexandra says. "Anything else that may be work related?"
"No, just that Lucifer is still drunk and stumbling around the station," Chloe asks while pointing out the office window. Alexandra spins around to see Lucifer falling onto people and their desks with a drunk smile. She steps out of her office with Chloe and tries not to kill him.
"Lucifer! Office! Now!" Alexandra shouts. Lucifer laughs as he makes his way to her office while she closes all the blinds before slamming the door once he is inside. "Have you lost your fucking mind?"
"No, but that worked," Lucifer says. He sits on her couch, sober, with a wide smile. "It was the only way to ensure you would be able to sit and talk with me."
"I am going to kill you!" Alexandra exclaims. She stomps over to him, but he catches her first and pushes her against the wall.
"I am enjoying you being rough, but I am here to talk not to have sex," Lucifer purrs. He holds her hands above her head, causing her face to turn pink when he moves closer to her. "Why have you truly come back?"
"For work," Alexandra says.
"Do not lie, sweetheart," Lucifer says with a smile. He leans down and kisses her neck softly. Alexandra moans and her knees buckle a bit.
"I miss you, tour touch, your voice, your love, I miss all of you," Alexandra purrs.
"You submit so easily with me," Lucifer whispers in her ear. He slides his knee between her legs and rubs it against her clit. "Did you truly love me?"
"Yes, I always have and always will," Alexandra whimpers. Lucifer pulls away to see she is trying not to cry. "Lucifer, I love you even before the whole Pierce and Eve thing. I want marry you and be yours. You mean the world to me, Lucifer."
"You truly mean that," Lucifer says. He stares deep in her eyes and smiles when he sees the pain and love she has for him is real.
"I thought about you everyday and hated that I left, but I was scared to come back home and you reject me," Alexandra cries. Lucifer releases her hands to hold her in his arms. "I am so sorry, Luc, please forgive me."
"Yes, I forgive you," Lucifer says. He lifts her face to kiss her lips sweetly and they share a smile. "I love you, Alexandra."
"I love you too, Lucifer," Alexandra says. He wipes her tears away, kisses her forehead, and holds her in his arms. There is a soft knock on the door and Ella pokes her head in.
"Is it safe?" Ella teases.
"Out," Alexandra snaps. Ella quickly closes the door and Alexandra buries her face into Lucifer's jacket. "You make me turn into a softie."
"Yes well, when you are around the others you can be your tough self. I like it that way because I know the truth behind your hard exterior and it is a bit of a turn on to see you melt in my hands," Lucifer chuckles.
"You like it that much?" Alexandra purrs. She pulls him down for a sweet kiss and runs her hands down his chest once she steps back. "Alright, we have to get back to work and we will talk later."
"Come home tonight, please," Lucifer says with a smile. Alexandra pushes him out of her office with a smile and she tries to keep the smile a secret, but a few of the other officers see it. Ella walks over with a wide smile and Alexandra lets her inside.
"What do you want, Catholic?" Alexandra asks as she goes back to attempting to organize her cabinet.
"I am just here to bring you the evidence of the crime scene yesterday and also ask about when the wedding will be," Ella says.
"Put the file down on the desk and the last part is none of your business," Alexandra grumbles. Daniel knocks on the door and stares at Alexandra leaning behind her desk. "What?!"
"Nothing, just came to find Ella," Daniel says quickly. Alexandra drops the files on her desk with a small growl and sits down in her chair. She leans back, letting her hair fall out of the messy bun it was in, and motions for Ella to talk about the case.
"Oh, sorry, according the state the body it looks like an accelerate to burn the body faster. There is nothing that could tie us to a person, but this was left at the scene," Ella says. She puts a picture of silver cross hanging upside down and it sends a shiver down Alexandra's spine.
"Does this mean something?" Daniel asks.
"More than I want it to mean," Alexandra grumbles. She pulls out a blue folder and slaps down on the desk. "Devil's Child."
"Wait, I thought he was caught and was put in a mental institution?" Daniel asks.
"The interesting thing about Jude is that he is word smith and has lied about being reformed," Alexandra says with a smile. "The game is back on."
"This is a game?" Ella asks.
"Honey, this has always been a game to him," Alexandra says. "He knows I will do anything to catch him and he likes playing this game. Also, he and I know each other very well."
"I am afraid to ask what you mean by that," Daniel says. Alexandra grabs her biker jacket and helmet before running out the office.
"Send me the information you have and I am going to see about weeding this bastard out of his hole," Alexandra says with a smile. Lucifer raises a brow when he sees Alexandra run out with a big smile.
"Where is she going?" Lucifer asks Ella when she walks over.
"An old case of hers has opened back up and she is very happy about that," Ella sighs.
