Spoilers S5b (possibly) Written after havind heard about 'the dinner'.


HOT POTATO & PUPPY


"She got them from you, hasn't she?"

Chloe lifts her chin from Lucifer's chest; his strong, steady heartbeats still echoing in her ear as she frowns. "Who's that?"

He looks her in the eye, hand cupping her cheeks, a thumb brush on her flushed skin. Her heartbeats are still vivid within her chest, skin against skin, desire for desire under his dark sheets.

"Beatrice's annoying puppy eyes. It's like looking straight at millions of stars," he explains with a genuine smile. "Such a dazzling gaze…. Hard not to accept anything while looking at it."

Chloe bits her lip and he squints.

"So, Detective? What's that hot potato of yours? Chocolate cake, hm? You looked pretty hungry minutes ago, that's for sure!" he adds, seemingly pleased that she's still breathless after their 'hunger'.

She hesitates a few more seconds, for all the millions of seconds before, and even before that. She hesitates for weeks. Her fingertips running along his jaw, then the dark locks of hair teasing the corner of his left, squinted eye, she stops to, "I want you to come with me."

He chuckles, looking down at their intertwined, naked bodies. "Already done, Detective."

"To Linda's dinner."

Hot potato burning his skin, Lucifer flinches. Chloe holds her breath, not looking away once. Puppy eyes, puppy eyes, puppy eyes….

Finally, Lucifer sighs and smiles at her. "You know what? I'm not hungry, I'm starving! How about pizza's tonight?" He then adds, while noticing Chloe's disappointed frown. "I'm the Lightbringer, darling. I've created billions more stars. Won't be dazzled that easily."

Damn it.
