Chapter 6

"Fucking birds." I muttered under my breath as I balanced on the ledge above Nikki's window. When I'd landed on the roof, the goddamn bird freaked out and flew away in a frenzy and smacked right into Nikki's bedroom window.

I wasn't going to do anything to her. I just…I don't know, I had the strangest need to see her. Something about her just made me want to be around her.

I slipped down from the ledge and knelt precariously on the edge of Nikki's small balcony before dropping down, balancing on the balls of my feet to be silent. She was peaceful in her bed, not woken. I crept over to her widow and slid my fingers down the wooden frame. Her window was a four pane that opened vertically down the middle with a simple lock, so it was easy to open with my powers.

Moving silently into the room, I stared down at Nikki's sleeping face, and I couldn't resist thinking 'She's so beautiful.' She was, even asleep. Her face was calm and serene and her lips were slightly parted. I bit my lip for a moment.

Decided, I used my powers to wake her up. But she would think it was only a dream, as she would when she woke up. She sat up in bed and looked directly at me.

I smiled at her. "Nikki." I said softly.

She looked up at me with a shine in her eyes. "Is this a dream?" She asked me in her musical voice.

"Yes." I came to her slowly, not taking my eyes off her. "I'm going to kiss you." I said in a deep whisper. She opened her lips and a soft sound emerged from them as I leaned down and brushed my lips across her cheek. "Will you allow me to kiss you Nikki?"

"Y-Yes…please…" She stammered.

At her consent I leaned over her, holding myself up with my left arm on the bed and cupped her cheek in my right hand. I rested my forehead on hers and closed my eyes before I kissed her gently on the lips.

SEMI-LEMON

Kissing her was pure bliss. Her lips tasted like sweet honey and when she kissed me harder and slipped her tongue into my mouth I thought I was going to explode right there. I moved my hand from her face and braced my arm on the bed so she lay back between my arms and she wrapped her arms around my neck. "Nikki…:" I whispered against her lips.

She pulled me over her so she was beneath me, and at the sound of her name, a sigh came from her. "Damien…" I flinched internally at the sound of my cover name. I didn't want to hear that from her at a time like this one.

"Call me Lucifer please Nikki." I murmured.

"Lucifer." The sound of my name flowing from her lips was enough to give me an instant hard on. I kissed her harder and flipped us so she was laying on top of me, allowing me to run my hands along her body. She moaned softly and I took advantage of that and bit her bottom lip softly. Without hesitation Nikki reached down to take off my pants. I caught her hand.

END

"No hon." I said, a smile on my lips. "When I make love to you for the first time, it won't be in a dream." She looked at me quizzically. I slipped out from under her and turned her onto her back. I lay on my side and held my head up with my hand, then closed her eyes with two fingers. "Go to sleep my little angel. Tomorrow I will see you again." I moved to get off the bed.

"No!" She said, reaching for me, her eyes open again. "Stay."

I smiled softly. "I'll stay until you fall asleep." She closed her eyes again with a satisfied smile and snuggled into my side. Soon her breathing was slow and even.

I looked down at the tent-pole in my pants and sighed almost inaudibly. That was going to be a problem. Nikki nuzzled my neck in her sleep and I looked at her face. I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to do what I had to do. I was getting attached, something I had warned myself against doing for my whole life: Don't get attached to the mission. The Prince would kill me if I betrayed him.

I had to do it. Even attempting to go against the Prince's wishes was ridiculous. When Nikki trusted me enough, I would take her to the Prince, and he would kill her.

There was no other option.
