Hello, hello! Here is the final, yes, final, chapter to this story! I hope you have enjoyed reading it as much as I have enjoyed writing it. To the two people who have reviewed the last chapter today, I can't see your review on the site yet for some odd reason, but I got an email notification, and I thank you both for your kind words. Enjoy and remember, reviews are good, flames should be damned to Hell!
A few days have passed since Lucifer told her that he loved her. Chloe slowly adjusted to being treated like a queen. Dan never once treated her like Lucifer has. Then again, he never really cared enough about her to begin with. They only got married because Chloe was pregnant with Trixie. After trying to make the marriage work for eight years, Chloe and Dan began to drift apart. There were times that Chloe wanted to make things work again with her soon-to-be ex-husband, but her heart now belongs to someone else.
The former Prince of Darkness still works with Chloe as a Civilian Consultant to solve cases and is also dealing with the fact that he needs to track down his Mother before all Hell breaks loose. Quite literally. The detective has yet to tell Lucifer that she loves him back, but Lucifer had said that he would wait as long as she needs until she feels she is ready to say it back.
"Another case solved! What a day this has been, hmm, Chloe?" Lucifer said as he sat in the passenger seat of Chloe's car. The King of Hell still called her by her title when they're working out of habit, not that Chloe minded, it is good to keep one's professional life separate from one's private life. "Yes, it's been quite a day," Chloe replied after a while. "I have to go pick up Trixie from school, and then I'll drop you off at LUX." The detective said as she made a left turn at the intersection.
"Are you going to come over later?" Lucifer asked with a glint in his eyes. "Maybe," Chloe said. "Playing hard to get, are we, Chloe?" Lucifer spoke in a sultry voice, grinning that Cheshire Cat grin of his. Chloe stopped the car a block away from Trixie's school and turned to face Lucifer. She got kiss-close to his face, and just when Lucifer was about to close the gap, she pulled away and resumed driving.
"Shame on you, Chloe! Turning the keys in the ignition without starting the engine! That's just cruel!" Lucifer chastised as he slumped in his seat, crossing his arms in annoyance. Chloe bit her lip to keep herself from laughing at Lucifer's comment and kept on driving toward Trixie's school.
When the pair arrived at the school, Chloe parked the car in front of the school and waited for her daughter to come out. "So my darling Chloe, what shall we do to pass the time before young Beatrice gets off from school?" Lucifer purred as he moved in for a kiss. Chloe wanted to give into temptation and indulge in a make-out session with Lucifer, but the rational side of her mind kicked in, and she put her hand on Lucifer's chest and lightly pushed him away. "We are not a couple of horny teenagers, Lucifer. I will not make out with you in front of my daughter's school for all to see." Chloe said firmly.
Lucifer, feeling miffed, scoffed and turned to look out the window. Chloe sighed at Lucifer's disappointment and came up with a compromise. "I promise to make it up to you later tonight. How about dinner at my place and then, once Trixie is asleep," Chloe then got close to Lucifer's face and whispered in his ear, "I will rock your world." A broad smile made its way across Lucifer's face as he said, "Hmm, you got yourself a deal, my darling Chloe." He then kissed Chloe softly on the lips as the after school bell sounded.
Trixie came bounding down the steps and ran toward her mother's car. The little girl's eyes lit up as she saw Lucifer sitting in the passenger seat. "Hi, Mommy! Hi, Lucifer!" Trixie greeted as she got into the backseat. "Hello, child," Lucifer said in a polite tone.
Chloe, sensing Lucifer's apparent unease, asked her daughter as the latter was buckling her seatbelt, "Hey, Monkey, how was school?" The little girl looked up at her mother after buckling up and said, "It was okay. I didn't get into any trouble today, and the teacher said that next week we have to bring something for show and tell. Could I bring Lucifer?" Trixie asked, her voice hopeful.
Lucifer's eyes went as wide as dinner plates as he envisioned himself standing in a room filled with children. "Sorry, Monkey," Chloe said, saving Lucifer from what could be the second worst day of his life. "Lucifer's very busy running his club and helping Mommy catch bad guys. Maybe you can bring Mazikeen?" The detective suggested, looking at Lucifer for permission. "Yes, of course. I'll arrange it with Maze." Lucifer said. "Yay! Thanks, Lucifer!" Trixie exclaimed as she rocked back and forth in her seat, bubbling with excitement.
Later that night, after dropping Lucifer off at the club, Chloe busied herself in the kitchen as she tried to make dinner for her and Lucifer while Trixie did her homework. She made Trixie some tacos from the leftover chicken that they had the night before and then sent her to her room to finish her homework. "I want you in bed by 9:30 okay?" Chloe said as Trixie sat in her chair and took out her books. "Yes, Mommy," Trixie replied as Chloe closed the door. The detective then went back to the kitchen and checked on her salmon and roasted vegetables. There's also a strawberry cheesecake chilling in the fridge for dessert. Somehow I think Lucifer has a very different idea when it comes to dessert. Chloe thought as she shook her head.
A knock was then heard at her door. Chloe turned off the oven, took her salmon and vegetables out of the oven and put it on a cooling rack before taking off her oven mitts and opened the door. There, standing in all his Luciferness glory, was the man himself. He wore his usual Armani suits complete with a white dress shirt a pair of shiny black dress shoes. "Hello, Chloe," Lucifer greeted. The Lord of Hell then produced a bouquet of red roses from behind his back. "These are for you, Love." Chloe gasped as she took the flowers. "Thank you, Lucifer. I love them." Chloe said as she stood on her toes and kissed Lucifer on the cheek. "Come inside; dinner's almost ready," Chloe said, moving slightly aside to let Lucifer into the house.
The King of Hell stepped over the threshold and took off his jacket. He put the jacket on the back of one of the chairs at the table and went toward the kitchen to help Chloe. Chloe was plating the salmon and vegetables when she felt two strong arms wrap around her from behind. "Lucifer, stop!" Chloe said, laughing. "Dinner first, dessert later. Though technically, I have dessert though somehow I think you have other ideas." The detective said, nudging Lucifer out of the way with her bum and put two plates of food on the table. Lucifer only grinned a devilish grin as he watched his Chloe walk to the table with a plate in each hand. The former Prince of Darkness then followed suit, pulling out a chair for Chloe before sitting down himself and the two ate their dinner in a comfortable silence.
After dinner and the actual dessert of strawberry cheesecake, Lucifer leaned against the kitchen counter, watching Chloe put the dirty dishes into the dishwasher. "Is it time for the other kind of dessert yet?" Lucifer asked devilish grin in place. "Patience, Lucifer," Chloe said with a smile. "I'm almost done." The detective then put the last dish into the appliance and shut the door. "Okay, I'm done." As soon as the words left her mouth, Lucifer lifted her up and carried her bridal style upstairs to her bedroom. Once there, clothes were quickly shed and lips locked in a heated kiss. Lucifer quickly entered Chloe and thrust in and out at a fast pace.
Chloe tried to keep her moans quiet so she wouldn't wake Trixie but the feeling of ecstasy was too much for her as Lucifer continued thrusting in and out of her. "I love you so much, my beautiful darling Chloe," Lucifer said as he kissed her. "You are mine. All mine." The Lord of Hell whispered in her ear. The detective, in her ecstasy-filled mind, whispered in return, "I love you, Lucifer." She then screamed out Lucifer's name as she reached her climax. Lucifer grunted out Chloe's name moments after as he emptied himself inside the enchanting creature lying beneath him.
As they basked in the afterglow of their lovemaking, Lucifer turned to Chloe and said, "Did you mean that?" Chloe looked into Lucifer's dark brown eyes and said in a confused voice, "Mean what?" Lucifer, thinking that his detective doesn't feel the same way, started to get up from the bed. Tell him that you love him! Chloe's mind yelled. "Lucifer, wait! Don't leave!" Chloe called to stop Lucifer from leaving. Lucifer stopped and turned to face Chloe, hurt written across his face. "It's alright, Detective," Lucifer said, hiding behind his usual mask, "You don't feel the same way, that's fine. I can learn to live with that." Chloe then got up from the bed, covering herself with the blanket and pulled Lucifer toward her. "I meant what I said," Chloe cooed. "I love you, Lucifer."
Lucifer's gloom instantly melted away as he heard his Chloe say those words. "Do you mean it?" The Lord of Hell asked in a quiet voice. "Yes, Lucifer. I meant every word." Chloe said equally quiet as she kissed Lucifer. "Mine." Lucifer breathed out after pulling away. "Yours," Chloe said as she kissed Lucifer again. The two then laid back down on the bed, and Lucifer wrapped his arms around the woman that had captured his heart and held her close as they drifted off to Dreamland.
The End.
