Warning! There is a scene of a sexual nature!

…

Marcus Pierce's Residence, 3806 Ocean Front Walk, Marina Del Rey, California…

Standing out on the balcony overlooking the darkness of the sandy beach and the ocean waves, Pierce gripped the railing tightly with both hands as he listened to the far sounds of laughter coming from down the beach.

Midnight swimming and sex

Brining his eyes up onto the starry night sky, he glared at the brightness of the full moon before moving onto the big dipper constellation.

You refuse to face me God

She refuses my overall presence

"Don't do anything stupid tonight Miriam," he whispered as he heard the glass patio door sliding open behind him. Feeling Maddie's arm against his as he continued to look up at the sky, he felt her fingers lingering on his hand.

"That young woman that was at the door earlier, was she the same woman you showed up with at my bar?"

…

LUX Nightclub, 6868 Hollywood Blvd, Los Angeles, California…

"Intimate,"

Feeling Lucifer's lips nipping at the corners of her mouth, Miriam raised a hand and covered his own as he held her face steady. Hearing his low growl as he parted her lips, he caressed her tongue just as she quickly pulled away, pushing a hand out against the fastened belt of his black dress pants.

"Wait…wait wait wait…"

Brining his other hand up against her cheek, he held her steady as he stared into her eyes. Rising to her feet, Miriam stepped aside and walked slowly towards the bar counter, zeroing in on a bottle of Jack Daniels sitting on the middle shelf against the glass, she rounded the corner and took it down before taking a deep sip without a glass.

"Are we getting right dickered tonight?"

Setting the bottle down, Miriam sucked in a deep breath as she moved her eyes over his chest.

"I've seen that look on the faces of many women, is this…a bad idea?"

Wincing at his words, Miriam sat the bottle down as she crossed her arms over her chest.

"Do you even know how many women you have slept with?" she questioned in a low tone as Lucifer brought his hands up onto his hips.

"I could give a pretty accurate number, though history has taught me that women don't appreciate a response" he spoke, slowly approaching her as she stood still.

"I…can't decide,"

"Decide?" the Devil questioned, angling his head as he came to stand directly in front of her.

Looking up into his dark eyes, she felt her stomach sink as he brought a finger up beneath her chin.

"If…you are a good idea or not tonight…"

…

Sliding his hands down onto Maddie's hips as she straddled his lap, Pierce kept his eyes steady on the front of her throat as she suddenly leaned her weight forward. Feeling her breasts against his chest, he breathed in deeply as she sighed against his ear.

"Good thing I set my own hours at work" she breathed with a smile as she rolled over onto her back.

Will you bother to show up for work in a few hours' time Miriam?

Rising to his feet, Pierce padded his way to the dark bathroom around the corner of the bedroom. Leaving the light off, he stood naked in front of the mirror and turned on the cold faucet. Splashing handfuls of water against his face, he drank two more before grabbing the hand towel.

What are you doing Cain?

It could have been her in your bed tonight

"It should have been her" he whispered, tossing the towel aside as he returned to the bedroom in the attempt of a few hours of sleep he knew would not come easy.

…

2:34am

Staring up at the ceiling of the penthouse from her makeshift bed on the sofa, Miriam pulled the edge of the white comforter up to her chin before slamming her hands down against her sides.

Go home

Just go home

Quit tomorrow, apply to be a police officer somewhere else

Hearing light snoring coming from Lucifer's bedroom, she rolled onto her side and stared at the shelves of alcohol across the room.

You're done with Cain

He is obviously done with you, having that woman from the bar over

Reaching under the pillow for her phone, she scrolled through and found no texts, emails, or missed phone calls.

He was never going to try and stop you from leaving his doorstep

You made it abundantly clear that you wanted him to leave

Rolling over onto her back, she let out a long sigh before rubbing her eyes. Throwing off the blanket, she rose slowly to her feet and walked towards the balcony. Feeling the warm night air against her face, she looked up at the moon and tightly gripped the railing.

"You are real God, yet I don't feel your presence in my life at all" she breathed, slipping off her cardigan before tossing it aside on a chair. Walking back into the penthouse, Miriam made her way towards the alcove and stopped short as she listened for Lucifer's soft snores.

Nothing

Are you really going to do this?

With him?

Walking into the bedroom, she was careful around the edge of the bed as she came to stand at the foot. Staring down at Lucifer as he opened his eyes, she said nothing as she pulled up the ends of her tank top before tossing it down on the ground. Watching Lucifer sitting up, she felt her muscles tightening as he crawled towards her on his hands and knees before brining his lips up against her bare stomach. Closing her eyes at the pleasurable sensation, she felt his lips moving up, trailing along the lace of her bra as she felt him push the fabric up, freeing her breasts as he closed his mouth down on her left nipple.

Letting out a soft moan as he pulled her into the bed with him, she felt the silk of the black sheets against her back as his fingers pulled off her tights, tossing them aside. Inching her fingers along the fabric of his boxer shorts against the inside of her thighs, Miriam moaned against his lips as she tried to push his shorts down his hips greedily. Smiling against her lips as he helped, he slid the palm of his hand across her bare stomach before pulling back to stare into her face. Gently cupping her cheek, as he adjusted himself, he searched her eyes before pushing fully into her.

Hearing her loud gasp as he felt her fingernails digging into the flesh of his back, Lucifer groaned as he felt Miriam arching her back with every thrust in a mix of both pleasure and pressure.

You swore you would never sleep with him

Now here you are, on your back, spreading your legs in his bed

All because of Cain

Feeling Lucifer's strong hands lifting her up around his hips, she breathed in deeply as his teeth nipped at her collar bone before she felt herself being propped up on her hands and knees. Gripping the fabric headboard tightly, Miriam groaned loudly as the Devil continued to thrust, pressing his chest against her back. Feeling her pressure building, she breathed out hard as the feeling of lightheadedness threatened to overtake her as she winced with Lucifer's warm panting spoke against her ear.

"Ladies first…"

Closing her eyes tightly at his words, Miriam sighed loudly as her long-awaited orgasm flooded over her entire body. Feeling her tightening around him as she came, Lucifer drew in a deep breath as he pushed hard, releasing deeply inside of her. Allowing Miriam to fall onto her stomach as he held his weight off her, the Devil smiled as he felt her fingers tightening around his own.

"Sounds like, this was a good idea."

…

The next morning…

Feeling the warmth of the early morning sun against her face, Miriam squinted as she rolled over feeling the flesh of Lucifer's inner arm against her cheek as he wrapped his arm around her shoulder, pulling her in closer against his chest.

Draping her arm lazily across his naked stomach, Miriam hummed as she felt Lucifer's fingers gently caressing the side of her hip.

"What time is it?"

Hearing her question, Lucifer moved his eyes onto the mobile phone on the bedside table before swiping a single finger across.

"Seven-forty."

Throwing her eyes open wide, she threw the covers off her naked body and stood on her feet, searching around for her clothing as she caught Lucifer interlacing his fingers behind his head.

"You'll be late too you know," she spat, pulling on her bra before slipping on her tank top. Moving towards the bathroom, she ignored Lucifer reaching over for his phone as the faucets started to run in the sink.

"Do you know where my keys are?"

Avoiding Lucifer's eyes as she looked around for the rest of her belongings, Miriam heard his throat clear as she looked towards the bed.

"You needn't rush. I've already called you in sick for the day."

Feeling her mouth drop with his words, Miriam threw her hands up onto her hips as she watched the man laying in the bed before her smiled widely.

"You what?"

"Yes, you are free all day. As am I."

Oh no…

"Who…did you speak to Lucifer?"

"Relax. Cain must have had a late night too. He wasn't in yet."

Freezing at the uttering of his words, she breathed in deeply as she thought of the blonde woman standing on the top landing inside Pierce's expensive beach front home.

Did they sleep together?

What concern of it is yours Miriam?

You already made a decision

And he didn't come running

"Coffee?"

Running her eyes over Lucifer's chiseled bare chest, she couldn't help but swallow hard.

I want that

"Or…I could draw the shades down?"

I want that too

"Which, do you want more?"

…

Los Angeles Police Department, North Hollywood Division, 11640 Burbank Blvd, LA, Calif…

9:34am

Sitting behind his desk, Marcus Pierce angled his eyes towards the glass window that faced the Forensics Lab as he watched Ella Lopez moving back and forth in front of a microscope. Glancing down at his watch, he took in the late hour before rising to his booted feet. Leaving his office, he strode across the bull pen and knocked the back of his hand against the doorframe.

"Lopez, where is Tyler?"

"Sick."

Blinking slowly, he steadied his eyes on her back as she grabbed a new box of glass slides.

"Sick?"

Hearing Decker's voice from behind him, he turned slightly and felt his stomach sink as he noticed her sitting at her desk alone

Where…is Lucifer Morningstar?

"Decker, where is Lucifer?"

"If I had to guess Lieutenant? I would say in bed with three women."

Narrowing his eyes at her deadpan humor, Pierce hardened his glare as Decker swallowed hard.

"He does this all the time Sir. Taking off, showing up…he's a volunteer consultant."

Returning to his office as he slammed the door behind him, he snatched up his mobile just as it started to vibrate in his hand.

"Miriam?"

Hearing a throat clearing on the other end of the line, he reached into his pocket for his keys before striding over to his jacket hanging on the coat rack.

"Um no, it's Maddie."

Letting out a sigh as he grabbed the collars of the leather jacket, he pulled it off the rack and balanced his mobile between his ear and shoulder.

"I'm actually leaving my office right now…"

"Obviously, if you called me Miriam,"

"Whatever you think is going on between her and I, rethink it. I have to go." Ending the call, he tucked the phone into his back pocket and pushed his arms through the coat sleeves.

"I only need one guess to know where you are Miriam Tyler" he muttered to himself as he turned around towards the closed office door. Taking three steps forward, he halted in his steps as he felt a sudden pressure building all around the frontal portion of his head.

"Cain, my son…"
