The next day Lucifer woke up to the sunlight illuminating his room Selene was the one absent from his bed this time, he frowned when he didn't feel nor see her next to him, a flush from the bathroom Selene's naked body walked on out making him grin,"Well, good morning beautiful." his voice was velvety smooth loving the view of her naked body, he layed in his bed the sheet just barely covering his hips looking like a modren day Adonis. She still couldn't beleive herself being so lucky to have such a man for herself as she climbed back into bed with him to kiss him,"Good morning." he pulled her down on top of him "You were postitvely wild last night, so unhinged...it was absolutely perfect" Lucifer purred his fingers traced her spine.
She let out a giggle,"WelI guess even the devil can bring out the best in others...even if that best in in bed." she hard him chuckle deeply amused, he looked at the time he was going to be late for work, the sound of his phone started to buzz,"I happen to know some fine artists perhaps I could arange having a nude sketch, or better yet a painting one I won't mind adding to my collection, I have works of art given to me from all the famous painters Da vinci, van gough, Rembrant, Picasso... to name a few." Selene was quite surpised he was a art collector, but on the otherhand she recalled alot of the famous paintings having to do with the bible,"Wow... you really get around." she said.
He let out a hearty laugh," Yes, I've ended up being quite the muse for some of the finest, now famous people, you could say I'm the one responcable for their fame," he said playing with her hair,"And I know you would make a fine model for a painting." Selene blushed at the complement and the idea of being in such a painting let alone a model for a nude art class, with Lucifer watching. "O-Oh I don't think I would feel comfortable having strangers looking at me naked...I am a bit self-conscious. You never know who might be very lechrious creep,but I sopose I can do it since you will be there to watch."
He smiled that charming smile of his," I know a few who owe me a favor I have inteded on collecting I will be there to make sure nothing bad ever happens." Selene was thinking about it feeling reluctant and then ageed,"I sware you can be so convicing, alright I'll make sure my scheduel is clear for that..but I think its time we got up and took a shower." he sighed and nodded getting up to join her for a shower.
Meanwhile Amenadiel was out ontop of a building looking down at humans,"I could understand Lucifer callously ignoring our duty to keep humans and the divine seprate. But you? How could you do this? A child... with a human." she was dissapointed in her brother as she looked at him,"Wonderful human. I know how difficult this must be for you. All right? I use to be just like you. Looking down on humans as if they were ants. But we need to ealize that we are not above them." Remy looked at him,"I am above them. But you...," He turned away from her now that the subject was back on him,"You don't even have your powers anymore, do you?"
"No, I can no longer slow time and I'm glad. My powers, they kept me at a distance, kept me disconnected from humanity. And I think thats why they are gone now. Because I don't want that anymore." Remy didn't like to hear that his powers were gone," You were the one who taught me that celestials and humans need to be seprate." he had his hands on his hips looking at her. "Yes, Remy, I did, and now I'm telling you that I was wrong." she looked quite hurt as she looked away from him,"Let me show you." he said as she gave him a side glance.
Meanwhile Lucifer had drove to the crime scene with Selene joining him since she had some time to hang out with him, she was in a teal colored plaid button up shirt with a brown tanktop, jeans and her boots from last night, walking with Lucifer to Chloe and the crime scene,"Good morning, Detective." Lucifer said as Selene smiled seeing Chloe and Ella. "Hello." Selene greeted them walking as Chloe seemed stressed but she went into professional mode,"Lucifer. This is a crime scene. No visitors. No offence, Selene." she said looking at her Selene smiled ,"None taken Chloe, I've had some free time and I figure I could be some assistance for you. A outside resource if you will." Chloe nodded and looked at Lucifer,"Could I talk to you?" Lucifer looked at Selene and she smiled,"Go on it's fine I gotta check in at home." she said pulling her phone out her back pocket as it vibrated and dinged.
Lucifer walked away with Chloe to talk as she sent a text and then got to chat with Ella since they have gotten to be close as friends bantering over the dead victem," How gruseome this poor guy...well maybe not so poor if he did something that got him killed." Ella nodded ,"Yeah, it is but I will be finding out more when I get him back to the lab." Selene looked around the surroundings,"Well its obviously wasn't a hit by a gang... I mean this ain't a way to send a message, dumping a body off a bridge after putting a bullet though the 's personal thats for sure, but something really isn't right...this ain't a way to make a body dissapear. Not here anyway."Selene said looking over the body.
Ella looked up at her ,"Your right it's not this got to be some shotty plan, how do you know so much about this?" she asked Selene and she smiled,"I watch law and order alot, and other related shows that involve solving murders and live victem cases, if somone was trying to send a message they would have done it in a more obvious place...like say whoever they are trying to scare to find the body, but it seems more like this victem acted alone and did something dirty to someone to get them killed." Ella loked up at her like she was right," Yeah, they could be somone who's new to killing people to make this kind of mistake."
Selene nodded,"Frame job perhaps?" Ella thought about it,"Might be possible, I'll find out more in the lab, hey are you working tonight?" Ella asked as Selene nodded,"Yeah, I am I will never be too busy to have a drink with you girl you know that, just as long as you never get a hold of Molly and cocaine again, girl you were wired for sound that night, it was amusing to see what it had done to you..but it was that gave you too much pep and your energetic enough, you were worse then people I seen on energy drinks or cramming for school exams." Ella giggled some,"Yeah I don't think I will be doing that anymore thats for sure." Selene hummed nodding,"Stick to alcohal its better."
Chloe ended up interupting them,"Selene, you can join us on this case, given that you have been quite helpfull in the past, so just for today for however long your avilable you can join us." Selene smiled,"Oh good, I'm good with faces over names who knows we might find somone I can help you with knowing, I talk to alot of troubled people or if they need some sort of advice over a drink at my bar, mostly its the same people alomst everyday or every other day and people join my weekend classes to line dance." Chloe nodded,"Well ok then we shall head on back to the station and wait for the results of the evidence and go from there."
Selene smiled as she walked with Lucifer back to his car to head back to the precint to relax and wait for answers. When they got there Selene was taking a phone call on her phone sitting in a swivel chair catching up to her folks back home, she didn't sound to happy in mid conversation, " Oh.. really? tch thats a first for him, what a idjit.. I don't know when I'll be visiting again why?" Lucifer had came back with coffee for Selene when he herd the coversation,"Oh no, thats terrible... no no its for the best, Dad. They are adjusting quite well... ok ok I will try give my love to everyone ok... yep Love you dad, bye" she hung up the phone and sighed.
"Is everything alright darling?" he asked handing her coffee, " Uh...well no not exactly I won't be getting Amir up here anytime soon, fraid all the horses have fallen ill, Amir is the worse case of them all.. ugh not looking forward to the vet bills to have surgery done" she sighed taking the coffee from Lucifer and having a sip of it. " A lot of the illnesses that may just be simple and eazy for us to be able to bounce back from, but for a horse they can die from it." she realized she had forgotten to place a order for hay bales to pick up. "Leave the vet bill to me darling let me know the cost and I'll take care of it." Selene smiled at him warmly,"Thank you, but you spoil me enough as it is I'll just have to tap into some of my funds to be put in to the vet funds."
Selene sighed knowing taking care of buisness is rough and a typical life for her,but she handles everything well, balancing her family business website, bar, horses, side jobs here and there,and balancing time for Lucifer. Selene seemed to be hard at work doing what she was doing on her phone, it didn't look like much but most people do buinesss from their phones more then anything.
(Selene POV thoughts)
I think I'm getting to the point where I want to retire from life forgood...I'm still young yet I know but I feel my life is just getting old..or maybe its just the cosmic energy is off balance because of the lunar eclipse is coming, I know I feel odd, like I'm not satified...or maybe I'm just not feeling complete. What could I be missing? I got my family, friends, a wonderful boyfriend though not human of course, my bar, I'm living my dream. What else is there for me? Am I ever going to find out? Will I find out?
(Selene POV thoughts end)
Selene made sure Lucifer was away from Chloe as she could talk to her alone,"Chloe...I wanna talk to you about something...um I herd you had arrested a priest a while back.. um is there any way I could see a picture." she said to her keeping her voice low,"Why you ask?" Chloe asked confused on her intentions. "It's just Lucifer mentioned his name and I think it was the same man who visted me in Nashville..he was spouting something I don't recall what..fraid I have devloped short term memory loss with how my head has been...I want to know if its the same man... I'm better with faces then I am names, I want to see if maybe it might trigger something, anything at all...please. Help me out I herd what had transpired with you and I think he might have tried to do the same before he came to you."
Chloe stared at her and nodded and pulled out father Kinleys file and let her peak at the picture, Selene was staring it down and then nodded,"Yes... yes thats him, he visted me on my ranch...I'm glad hes locked up, thank you Chloe." she said as she put the file away and began to converse with Chloe about the case both enjoying their coffee throwing ideas back and forth. Chloe found her to be much more useful then Lucifer who was busy chatting with other officers.
Then they went to visit Ella in her office/ Lab ,"Hey, Ella, what do we got?" Chloe said walking around the table with attention to hear what Ella had to say,"Well, we still don't know why Sam's body was tossed off the bridge." Ella said as Lucifer piped in,"Because the killer is a maniacal monster that needs to be taken down." Chloe had her strong detective composure shaking her head slightly at Lucifer's comment as ella answered, "Er...maybe. But I did discover that the killer pistol-whipped poor Sam before he died." Chloe looked at Ella,"Sounds like it could be personal." Lucifer chimed in,"And agressive." Selene remebered what the body looked like," A beating like that it is personal, quite frankly the killer didn't have to use a bullet, he could have just beaten Sam to death... this is a hit." Ella nodded,"I was able to recover something from the gun marks on his face. Gold flakes."
"Gold flakes...a golden pistol, there not eazy to come by unless it was custom some people like to personalize their gun just like how some pocket knives have the rainbow effect or some kind of design on them you can find in truck stops." Selene said as Chloe was thinking about it,"Golden gun. It's unique and it sounds familiar." Selene looked at the gold flakes," Yes, Roger Moore's Bond films. Perhaps our killer's Scaramanga, the man with three nipples." Lucifer said as Ella thought about it did make sorta sence,"Maybe." Selene was listening to them talk as her phone ended up distracting her.
"Ella do you remeber there was a hitman or somthing who carries a golden pistol. Do you remeber that?" Chloe asked as Ella ran over to her computer to check it out" Ah, let me see. Uh, here Greg Grabowski...and goes by the nickname"Pony Boy"." she said bringing the computer over to show. Lucifer had to be a smartass,"Pony Boy? Stay gold indeed." Chloe looked at the computer over his info,"And you're never able to pin him down because he's so good. But if this wasn't a hit and it was personal, it would explain why hes so sloppy." Selene didn't like that conclusion as she had to put her two cents in,"Not really even hit's can be sloppy too, personal or not if you think about it. It all depends this could been a rush job." Chloe was taking Selene's view into concideration,"Yeah you maybe right...that is possible, all right lets bring him in then." she said as Lucifer and Selene left with Chloe behind them.
Later they get to the gym to find Greg working out,"Man, I really should invest in some gym equipment I haven't worked out since I had to prepare for the rodeo and learning to walk again." Lucifer looked at Selene while they were walking,"You work out?" he asked as she looked at him,"This ain't no god given body Lucifer, compared to you." Lucifer grinned knowing she had to have gone there" Ain't that the truth," he scoffed and they found him, "Greg "Pony Boy' Grabowski, LAPD. You're under arrest for the murder-" he cut Chloe off,"Okay." Lucifer Chloe and Selene were taken off guard,"Look I've been though this a houndred times, just gonna wait for my lawyer." Selene was unimpressed,"Typical...always lawyer up first."
Lucifer smiled,"Allow me, You'll actually get to see the devil do his thing." he grinned as Selene had to watch and see just what Lucifer was going to do to Greg. "Tell me...My little Pony boy, what is it that you desire?" Selene was watching Lucifer bring out the desire out of Greg with curiosity to see his power in person for her own eyes," I, I wish...I wish...wish my boss had let me kill Sam." Selene was surpised with Lucifer's power,"Wha...so he didn't kill sam? Frame job?" Selene questioned out loud."Well I guess we can't do anything about this man he's innocent." Selene was oddly turned on seeing Lucifer draw out desire," Wow...I think I like that little trick you did Lucifer." Selene felt ike making out with him Chloe didn't like Gregs answer,"So you wished your boss let you kill him. Then who's your boss and if it wasn't you, who used your golden gun to do it?" Greg held his stand "Lawyer. Now." he saw Lucifer and Selene making out like crazy in public much to Chloe's dismay making her roll her eyes at them, she arrested Greg.
Back at the precint Selene was playing on her phone as Chloe and Ella talked about the case and about Julian McCaffrey's broken spine as Lucifer caught wind of the talk as did Selene. "Julian McCaffrey?" Chloe responded,"Yeah." Lucifer brows forrowed,"What dose this have anything to do with him?" Chloe started to explain her reasoning to bring him up,"Maybe Tiernan thought that Sam broke Julian's back. normally he would hire Pony Boy to do his dirty work- but its his son so-" Ella finished her sentence "He wanted to enact revenge himself and borrowed Pony Boy's gun to do it." Selene noticed Lucifer got tense at the news as she got alittle worried since she knew the truth that Lucifer was the one who broke Julian's back with realization Tiernan just killed a innocent man.
"Lucifer?" she noticed Lucifer wasn't happy at all,"I did that. I broke Julian's back. Tiernan killed a innocent man." Selene grew concerned now on what Lucifer was going to do,"Does that mean..." Lucifer was too calm yet seething,"Yes, my dear, that now more then ever that monster needs to be punished." Selene didn't like the sound of that, she began to worry about Lucifer hurting someone else, it was sopose to be a one time thing. They all went to take a trip to Tiernan's office to speak to him and Selene zoned out while Chloe did the talking. She was feeling very conflicted as she sat by Lucifer her hand on his leg hoping to keep him calm.
"So Tiernan I don't know if you herd but a drug dealer was killed thismorning." Tiernan was puring himself a drink when he replied,"What dose that have to do with me?" he turned to give them his attention as Chloe continued,"Well, thats the intresting part. He had the exact same spinal injury as your son. So it would seem that possibly somone is out for revenge. " Teirnan began to pace when he answered Chloe. "My son worked with alot of bad people. Infact, Julian wasn't exactly a good person himself, which is why I had to excise him from my business. You...you love your children, but at a certain point you have to-" Lucifer cut him off,"Let them stand on their own two legs." Selene hoped Lucifer wouldn't loose control and do something infront of Chloe.
"Mr. Tiernan, do you know a man named Greg Grabowski?" Lucifer stood up to speak,"Goes by the color moniker,"Pony Boy"." He had sat down to talk to them as he answered Selene was keeping a eye on Lucifer walking around behind her, "No." Tiernan said as Chloe didn't by it, Selene was too buzy keeping a eye on Lucifer to stop him if he did anything rash. Selene got in that ready to stand up and stop Lucifer pose "You kept track of your son though, didn't you? Which is why you consistently bailed out of jail. Always getting him out of trouble. He never learned, did he? in fact, some might say its your fault he became a killer, a human trafficker. A broken little doll." Tiernan put his glass down and stood up clearly insulted by Lucifer.
Selene took it as cue to get up and over to Lucifer's side before something bad happened,"My son had alot of friends. Maybe one of them decided to make the piece of garbage who crippled him pay." Selene put her hand on Lucifer as he continued,"Really? Because I had a little chat with Julian right before he shot a police officer in cold blood. He said that you were an even worse person then he was." Selene looked at Tiernan keeping quiet with her hand on Lucifer's arm she could almost sence Lucifer's anger rising. "Unless you have actual cause to charge me with something, this little chat is over." Lucifer wasn't finished speaking he was gripping the bar of the chair he was leaning on,"Oh I'm the devil, Tiernan...I have all the cause I need. Detective, I think its time that you left so I can do what I do best and punish this man."
Tiernan remained calm and didn't like to continue speaking,"Get out." Chloe fixed herself up and walked over to Lucifer,"Lucifer. He will be punished." She saw his strength was bending the chair bar as did Selene,"Lucifer. Lucifer, stop." Selene gripped Lucifer's arm,"Lucifer. calm down.",but Lucifer was glaring at Tiernan the bar was close to breaking as he shouted at them to get out,"Detective, Leave." he growled hearing the bar creaking Selene had to do something,"Stop it Lucifer please. Let's get out of here." he calmed down with his eyes still on Tiernan,"This isn't over." he released the chair and left Selene followed after him then Chloe,heading back to the precicnt to talk about what they know so far with the case.
Selene was doing what she could to take care of Lucifer with a message, it was a close call she almost saw Lucifer want to rip Tiernan apart as Chloe was talking,"Tiernan killed sam, but we have no proof." Lucifer was relaxing to Selene's hands as she rubbed his shoulders an neck."So?" he said not really caring ,"So Tiernan is gonna double his legal defense now that you hulked ot in his office." Lucier looked at Chloe,"Devil is as devil dose." Selene sighed feeling the tension in the air can be cut with a knife. She was getting worried about Lucifer she never seen him like this before he's normally better then this. Chloe asked him to talk alone and Selene let him go talk to Chloe alone.
Selene was sending messages to her cousin Jennette that she will be home soon to relieve her duty with the house since Selene needed to do some thinking and take the time to go on a trail walk with both noticed things were looking alittle heated between Lucifer and Chloe, she was enjoying her time being able to help out, getting to see Lucifer draw out someones desire was a cool experience, but what worried her most is Lucifer's behavior and chalked it up to the change in the cosmic energy, surely angels felt the energy shift too right?
Selene saw Lucifer storming out away from Chloe,"Come darling were out of here,"He said with a huff Selene was puzzled,"Is everything ok Luci-" she didn't get a chance to finish her question when he snatched up her hand to leave with him. She was deeply concerned now but she followed him back to his car to leave to head back to Lux. She threw back Jennette a message she was gonna be late something came up it was about Lucifer, like always her cousin understood.
Meanwhile Remiel and Amenadiel were walking though the park where kids were playing, "This is where I came with the mother of my child right after we found out that we were going to be parents. We both realized...just how wonderful it would be.," Remy looked at the kids playing together, laughing, having fun,"All I see is weakness. They're pathedic. If you raise you son surrounded by them, he will becme like they are." Amenadiel was hoping his sister would see reason obvious to him she didn't want to. "They may be flawed yes, but so are we and flawed dosn't mean weak." Remy looked at her brother,"Sounds like something a weak person would say. Amenaidel, I just want the best for your child." He took slight offence as being called weak,"So do I."
Remiel had enough of the talk she was geting serious with him now," I'm taking the baby. and the vessel back with me to heaven" Amenadiel got firm with Remiel,"No, your not. I'll never let you find him or his mother, or the vessel I don't want them to freak out if they were to know they are carrying the moon's power, theres no telling what might transpire you know that more then anything how powerful She was Eons ago. Do you really want to challenge that power again?" Remiel stood her ground,"Too late. I picked up the scent this morning. I've listened to you out of respect, Amenadiel, for what you once were. But I'm convinced more then ever of what I need to do."
Amenadiel steped up to his sister,"Remy, I won't let you take my child or the moon's power back with you to heaven, they are staying here on Earth." She showed no fear to him,"Try and stop me." Remiel released her wings and flew off, Amenadiel sighed knowing he was going to have to stop her one way or another, letting out his wings he too took flight after her and their fight began.
Back at Selene's house Selene had saddled up Jack and Nilla to take out on the trails,Lucifer had ended up drinking a half a bottle of her whiskey and filled up his flask for the trip, since he was joining her,"All set,Lucifer." he let out a sigh joining Selene with him,"Right who will I be riding?" Selene smiled at him,"You get to ride my boy Jack, and I shall ride Nilla" she smiled as she held out his reign to take,"I think you can use this more then anything, to help clear your head, it never hurts to try you have been around my horses long enough that they trust you." he huffed and took the reign and followed Selene on out to ride on out to the trails of Malibu.
"So...things got pritty heated earlier...with Chloe. Are you ok?" Lucifer let out a long sigh,"She obviously can't handle who I am...still even after forgiving her for the whole..send me back to hell incident...to think we were getting along so well again." Selene nodded knowing all too well," rebuilding a friendship after a severe betrayl like that...trust issues will always be there Luce, its off putting to learn that you are the actual devil...Prince of Darkness,the King of Hell-" He purred at her knowing his titles so well,"For a non beleiver you sure know your stuff."
She rolled her eyes,"If you were truely a evil monster, you would have destroyed humanity eons ago, otherwise you and I would not be having this talk or actually dating. I still feel like I'm in a crazy dream, just a lowly human in a relationship with a celestial being...I never imagine ever ending up here, not like you could date your own family...thats just messed up to get into incest. " He rolled his eyes and scoffed,"Ugh, gross, I don't think I'd touch any of my siblings that way. Don't know how you humans can do such a thing, us grooming each other wings is as far as intimate as they come." She looked at him like he was odd," Amenadiel said everyone in the well...the Silver City everyone is evious of your wings...are they that divine?"
He snickered in amusement,"Yes, well you know I am the Lightbringer afterall one would say they were white as fresh fallen snow. Come to think of it I haven't looked at my wings...I'm not sure that they're even there,ever since I killed Cain and got my devil face back."Selene smiled at him,"I would like to see them, that is if they are still there maybe you should take a peak and see sometime.I probbly would have been better off seeing them then your devil face...not that I mind your devil face Luce, I wish I could have seen your wings when you did have them. I saw your brother's cause I asked him too, I hope I do get to see yours someday." she said with a sincere voice.
He went comepletly silent as they rode though the woods on the trail side by side,"Perhaps I will take a look later,but I'm not sure if they will be there..." he sighed takng in the nature as they rode thoug the trail, Selene was wondering if she should tell Lucifer about father took a deep breath seeing him alot more calm then he was."Well, If your wings are there, that woud be a good thing right?" she asked him as he sighed,"I sopose so, yes, much as I hate the bloody things took me a while to keep them from popping out at the worst times when I got them back." He was thinking of something to change the subject but since they were on the topic of family he had to ask.
"So how is your family back home, perhaps I can arrange a flight to bring them out here or we could take a trip and go see them, I would really love to know them after all, I'm sure they would love to finally get to meet me. I'm sure your father has been talking about our relationship to the rest of the family." Selene sighed as she knew this day would come," Well I sopose we could go away for the weekend, so my mamaw can stop fussing for me to bring your home." he looked at her curious,"Really, they sound desprate to be a thorn in your side." she let out a snicker," Yeah, I told you all they know are good things about you. they haven't even met you and yet they ask about you. that sort of thing speaks volumes."
He let out a sultry purr,"Speaking of nosey darling, I do wish to know why your hiding pictures in your house." Selene fell silent for a few minutes as they were riding," My father...ment well being helpful with getting my house together, I sopose it is time I just stop berating myself, and actually look at my mother again." she pulled out her flask and took a drink," I haven't brought myself to look at the pictures with my mom since the day she died...I don't feel bad about that day anymore, just painful memory, I wish I could talk to her again, I have that chance to now with your brother's help. I feel bad to use him as a messenger, but it gives me some peace, and thats something I have needed in a long time, some peace of mind."
She put her flask away before speaking more,"Katerina was her name, she wanted to be a astrologist or a forensic anthropologist growing up, but she ended up with my dad and she felt complete, being around the horses her favorite animal since she was little." Selene smiled as Lucifer smiled,"I'm sure she was a well loved and delightful woman, shame I won't have the pleasure of meeting her,I'll help fix the photos up that you have turned I would love to see the beautiful woman who made my beautiful girlfriend." She giggled and smiled,"Alright, Luce you can do that while I make dinner and we can go back to your place and drink." he grinned his oh so naughty girn,"Oh,we would do so much more then drink, darling."
they spent 2 hours riding the trails before going back to her house letting her put the horses in the fenced up grass area of the yard, he fixed up the photos looking back at Selene making dinner, he could swear the mother and Selene were identical twins, she had all the looks even the smile he adores so much. Still he wasn't sure what he really wanted he was really torn, he really enjoys Selene's company and everything about her, she dosn't care that he's the devil he learned that one the night she asked to show her what he was hiding. She was so brave when Lux was taken hostage, and yet took good care of him, part of him felt so undeserving of her, yet the other part of him just can't see her with anyone else.
She was also comfortable with his lifestyle, he knew Chloe wouldn't be back before when they were just having a moment he would given up sleeping with other women for her, he thought about trying and doing the same. Although Selene would rather not see him change, she wasn't wrong change was hard especially with his new found relationship, but he felt ever so comfortable having her with him, the sex was much more satifying with feeling behind it then all the meaningless sex he's had over time before he met Selene.
He was beggining to wonder if he has finally met his 'soulmate' as the humans have put it when they talk about love, the more he thought about he was feeling as if he has found his soulmate. She has done more for him then anyone ever has, making dinner, sitting and having a drink, even teaching him to line dance, thats where the feelings started, with the line dance lessons he had become quite good at it, but watching her do a all girls dance was all to satifying to see everyone do the same dance as if it watching a music video, it was simple yet fun.
She didn't seem to mind as he went into the kitchen to explore and figure out where everything was, he did understand that this house was just far too big for her alone, he thought his penthouse was large, her style of furnature was creative, as she had told him she built the couch and chair out of wood pallets, and even shown him there was a DIY idea for house decor. It was creative yet very rustic just as her Kitchen looked the colors fit so well together, with the weathered look, and old style handles, yet it mixed with modren utility's.
She had a glass stove top, Kurige coffee maker with a carousel with little coffee filled cups, alittle toaster, two door stainless steel fridge one side was freezer with a ice/water dispencer the other side was a fridge. he liked how everything was so spaceious even her little pallet shelf filled with her favorite whiskey and wine, to whch he took apon himself to raid enjoying the smell of dinner being cooked."Dinner is smelling quite delightful darling what is it that you are making?" he asked curious to know,"Venison, its deer steak, with fried garlic buttered potatoes, I know a place that ends up ordering too much tubs of garlic butter so I take it off their hands and ship some home to my family, not like you can buy this stuff this size in store, the flavor is perfectly even not to salty not to garlicy its just right."
He noticed the choice of seasoning she had laid out, soy sause, old bay, onion powder, garlic salt, beef boulion powder, lemon juice even her taste in seaonings were a delight as she knew how to blend flavors even been working on a herb garden, that she uses to cook the most was in the kitchen,"You probbly watch alot of cooking shows to be this good at cooking." he had to know since thesmell of the food was making his mouth water,"Just one cooking show but i can't really call it a cooking show really its a talk show, the Rachel Ray show, she's my favorite, when she ends up cooking on her show after talking to celebs I pay close attention write down all her recipes and then try them for myself. And I must say they are fantastic not to mention shes histerical with her jokes."
"Is that where you learned to cook?" he asked pouring himself a drink she smiled at him," No, alot of things I've learned to do myself, I always was a baker more then a cooking normal foods, then I bought Rachel Ray's cook book and I've been trying them out, I do try to think outside the box when it comes to meals, some chiefs are so bland on flavor, I've tried different seasonings over time as a trial and error sort of thing figuring out what works well together and what don't." Lucifer was behind her when he leanded down to whisper in her ear. "Well I for one enjoy the food you make for us, as well as the taste of you as dessert." he said in a silky sultry voice.
Selene felt all hairs stand up feeling his hot breath on her,damn him was all she could think and felt a arm snake around her waist,"I would really love to make your eyes roll darling, I can't help it you'er just so much fun." his hand sneaked its way to her pants edge before she stopped him," You naughty sneaky devil. Two can play that game." she said as seduction dripped in her teasing voice, she wiggled her ass against him making him groan,"Don't start what you don't want to finish love even if I'm enjoying it oh so much." he purred into her ear before licking it.
Selene's lips curled into a smirk as she was checking on the food,"You make me wanna drink till I'm drunk." she teased as Lucifer chuckled darkly at her making her shiver with delight as his fingers teased her under her top," I know I can be quite addicting, truth be told you are as well when your high n tipsy." Selene squeaked when he groaped her ass she looked at him slyly," Lucifer." she purred as a warning but she enjoyed his teasing, so much so he could easily cause a orgasum if he really wanted to. She knew his charm would win her family over she may have been resistive to his powers but her family wasn't, they would adore him way too much with his sweet words, she knew what the outcome would be if he kept it up.
Part of Selene wanted to fight him, but he was just a walking desireable drug she can't get enough of like her weed. Lucifer was just having way too much fun,"Oh behave Luce and have yourself a drink." she said to him making sure dinner was almost done," As you wish love, its so cute when you get rialed up. Lucifer likey" his eyebrows danced and she sighed trying to keep herself undercontrol and focus on dinner. he couldn't help himself being quite a flirt to Selene, she made to so eazy yet so fun for him to get off on.
He pulled out a cigarette to light up while he poured himself a drink, happily helping himself, he pulled out another glass and poured her a drink he took noticed to the lable, "I've noticed you have some wine with a brand I have never herd of, Serenity Garden's where on earth did you buy this from?" Selene turned her head to him,"That's my family's wine...more so my mothers, originally the ranch was once named Hope Meadow Acres in a way to make our home feel comfortable to our clients, but instead mom got into the winery business and well eventually it became Serenity Gardens, to endorse a much more peace of mind for our clients that stay with us and horses brought to us that need special kind of care to make them better."
"From what I've seen I say you do a fine job of it with your horses your family's ranch must be quite repuable." she nodded,"Yes, well sometimes its buzy and sometimes its not, mostly people want anything to do with our family because I'm the repuable star, beleive me I'd give up anything to not have that spotlight, but here I am having a growing repuation I can't escape from...I really don't want it." she said as dinner was done Lucifer took control and helped her out,"Allow me love you have done so much for me now I must return the favor."
Selene nodded as she let him handle to food,"I think next dinner we have I will cook, as much as I love your cooking darling you deserve to have a night where you don't have too." Selene smiled at him,"Well I actually was thinking of taking a trip back home they wanna see me more often and it has been some time since I have been back." she sounded like there was something more to her reasoning,"Would you like me to join you on this trip this time?" She thought about it,"Yes, I think I could use your assistance with a family problem, not as much as it is family thats the problem with something thats not being said to me thats a issue, a little bird has told me theres someone suspicious stalking around the property."
Lucifer stopped and looked at her,"Then thats all the reason I need to come along, I won't let you put yourself in danger without me if things take a turn and something dose happen and I'm not there too keep you safe, or my family safe." he said setting the plates he carried to the table, Selene couldn't beleive her ears that the devil himself just said her family was his family. She had a shocking realization of what that just might mean for the both of them.
They both sat down to enjoy a nice dinner together Selene packed up a week worth of clothes and some clubing clothes to wear to bring along to his place, once they got back to Lux Selene had made herself comfortable putting some of her clothes away while Lucifer messed arround on his piano, playing what ever he felt like feeling good, getting lost in his own little world, imagining up some punishment ideas for the case with Teirnan. Selene walked over to him enjoying his playing, he wasn't wearing his suite jacket she smiled and started to rub his shoulders,"Perhaps later tonight I should give you the best night of your life." she winked at him as she poured herslf a drink from the bottle he left on the piano.
"Oooh really my beautiful little cowgirl is gonna take charge for once what a thrill, I'd love to get tied up like you do in the rodeo, yee haw." he teased and she giggled taking a drink, then the elevator let out a ding and the doors open to a child,"Hi, Lucifer." she walked into the penthouse interupting their moment she dropped her bag on the floor and squealed with delight,"You have a piano up here?" she began to run though the pent house checking everything out,"Yes, but no! Please!" as she touched his piano playing with the keys before scurring off to the next thing to check out,"Look at all those books!" Lucifer was quite alarmed that a child got into his penthouse.
"Yes, emphesis on the look-" Selene giggled watching Lucifer chase trixie around his penthouse amused by the kid giving Lucifer the run around,"This is the coolest place ever!" Lucifer walked back to Selene's side,"Dose your mother know your here?" he asked her Trixie looked at him like it was a lie,"Yes?" Lucifer sighed,"Well, what are you doing here?" Trixie looked at him then saw Selene,"I came here to make sure your okay. My mom said you needed a friend," Selene looked at Lucifer then back at Trixie,"But it looks like you already have one." She gave Selene a dirty look.
"Hi there, you must be Trixie, I'm Selene, its a pleasure to finally meet you I'm a good friend of your mom." Trixie glared at Selene and she was amused,"oh, like mother like daughter with that look the apple really dosn't fall far the the tree with most kids." she snickered when Trixie began to interigate Selene she was happy to answer all her questions "So where do you live?" she asked walking around her,"a lovely horse ranch out in Malibu." Trixie sat down,"Whereare yo from?" Selene smiled,"Nashville, I'm sure you already know that from the Rodeo a few months back." Trixie got snippy "Keep the commentary to yourself, lady" Selene was taken aback by how blunt the child was ,"Have you ever been married?" Selene frowned,"No I haven't, but I do hope to be married someday."
"How come?" she asked with a raised eyebrow selene smiled,"I've never really had a dating life,just been too caught up with competitions." She realized she was getting the thrid degree now from a child,"What do you do for work?" Selene looked at her drink,"I'm a entertainer, I sing and dance and I'm a bartender at my bar." Trixie sqints at her,"Well, thats kind of cool. whats your favorite color?" Selene smiled,"Well, I don't just have one favorite I like Lavender and turqoise, but if i had to choose it be turqoise, its my favorite stone, next to the rainbow moonstone, and quartz. So what's yours?" Trixie got a bit sassy,"I'm asking the questions."
Selene's POV thoughts
Damn this child is just like her mother, talk about a sharp tongue additude I hate to see her when shes all grown up, I thought chloe was harsh, I feel like I just got pistol whipped by a child with a sharp tongue. I pitty what ever career path this girl choises shes a spit fire.
(Selene's POV thoughts end)
"Would you excuse me whilst I do something less mind numbingly boreing like color sorting my suits?" Selene smiled at him,"Awww and miss out on learning some of my secrets?," she teased and took a sip of her drink," Kidding Luce, go on ahead." she smiled at him as trixie watchd him leave and her face softened,"Are you the kind of friend Lucifer needs right now?" hearing trixie ask that to Selene he looked back after stopping in his tracks before leaving to dissapear into his room,"I belive so I love him very much, I am his girlfriend, all I care about is his happiness." Trixie smiled at her when the elevator bell dinged, Selene looked at the elevator and saw it was Greg grabowski.
Lucifer was in his room working on his suites when he herd Selene in distress."What in tarnation are you doing here?!" she saw the gun and grabbed trixie,"Lucifer!" he herd her scream making him drop everything,"I didn't think there'd be anyone else here, but can't have any whistnesses." Selene got very protective of trixie,"Don't plea-" the stain glass shattered as a hand came out and grabbed the man by the throat dragging him up into the glass distracting Greg with the gun was pointed at the girls, Selene frowned at the lovely stain glass now broken she took trixie to somewhere safe, while Lucifer took care of the intruder with glowing eyes "Hurry!" she rushed trixie to safety not wanting her to see Lucifer hurt the intruder as he shattered what was left of the glass scaring Greg with his glowing eyes.
Selene hoped Lucifer wouldn't get hurt when she herd the gun shots, she prayed everything was ok and for Lucifer to be involnerable and not die on her again,"Please God don't let Lucifer bleed." she whispterd closing her eyes and protected Trixie when she herd Greg scream in pain and then familiar voices Selene walked Trixie on out," Mommy! Daddy!" Selene smiled as she was enjoyed the sight of their reunion with a warm smile, she went over to Lucifer looking him over relived he wasn't harmed, but he was shot at made her sigh with releif.
The cops soon came though to arrest Greg and taken Selene's statement, she morned the shards of glass that was once a beatiful stain glass that she adored. She filled up her glass and lit a ciggerete to calm her nerves glad things were over, Selene saw Lucifer and Chloe on the balcony talking when her phone dinged she took a look at it and sighed rolling her eyes, she looked at him saddened inside on how close they are she cleared her throat, "The police are done." Chloe smiled and walked over and hugged Selene "Thank you. Thank you for Trixie." Selene hugged her back," my pleasure I would never let anyone harm a child." Chloe left them alone and Selene looked at Lucifer.
"I'm glad your alright Lucifer, such a shame with the stain glass, I really loved it...so... Teirnan is behind this. Your gonna go after him arn't you?" she walked over to him,"Please, just do the right thing Lucifer. Deliver him in one piece and alive if you can help it." She said softly looking at him he turned to her,"Yes, your right I will, he will get what he deserves." Selene watched him walking away she looked up at the moon, mentally thanking God for Lucifer's safety.
She sighed feeling self doubt with herself wondering if she could really make Lucifer happy, this is after all her first real relationship and first feeling of true love, she was begging God in her mind for some guidence. When she opened her eyes to look up at the moon they changed to a silver color before they glowed with moon almost full. When she took a deep breath and blinked they have gone back to normal, Selene went back inside and cleaned up the mess of glass, grabbed her bag wrote a quick note for Lucifer that shes going to need a rain check she had to get to the bar due to a emergency.
Meanwhile Chloe visited Father kinely to shut him up and see what he wanted. "Detective Decker, thank you for coming." he said as she shook her head,"I only came to tell you to stop putting in a request to speak to me. We have nothing to talk about" she said firmly hating herself for even bothering to answer him. Kinley was looking up at the moon before turning to her,"I'm sorry... I don't have much time they're going to transfer me back to Rome... to be tried there." Chloe was pacing not even looking at him. "Can't say that I'm sad to see you go." she said advoiding eye contact with him trying to stay strong at this point,"Theres something you need to know." She stopped and looked at him,"No, there is something you need to know. You were wrong about Lucifer. He is a good man. One might say that he's even a angel."
"I need to warn you about the prophecy." He said as Chloe looked at him confused,"Prophecy?" she questioned giving him her attention,"You see I thought, that the prophecy was about you, Chloe. But I realize now I had been wrong. if its not you, then who else is Lucifer's first love and what dose it have to do with the light of the moon?" Chloe listen and then turned with eyes full of confusion and Kiney turned to her,"You know who it is don't you?" he said walking close to her and grabbed the bars," Is she here?" Chloe was thinking this is some manipulating crap to help him stop Lucifer,"I just need you to hear the prophecy." he said with a whisper ," All right." she tried to hold back her emotions to hear him out. "When the devil walks the earth and finds his first love, evil shall be released by the light of the moon." Chloe's eyes filled with fear over the prophecy she had been told, and rushed on out to get away from Kinley.
Chloe was torn to tell Lucifer of this prophecy knowing full well bringing up father kinely was a bit of a sore spot after what he has caused between them. but she had to figure it out what the Light of the moon was, or who it could be. At this point she knew she was going to have to do some heavy research to figure it all out before its too late, as her mind wondered with questions on her drive home, What is the light of the moon? the moon its self? or is there another Celestial involved who goes by such a name? She knew she needed answers and hoped that the prophecy is a joke and not real, but if it was real would she be able to stop it?
