This chapter sets in the second half of season 3, when Chloe and Marcus are together. Because I HAD to make Lucifer a little jealous.

Chloe's POV

The furry cockblock

« Are you joining me? »

"Sure. I'll just finish this."

Marcus bent over the couch to kiss her gently before going upstairs. Their relationship was still young but everything moved fast between them, very fast actually. But Marcus always seemed to be where she needed him so, why not after all. It was not like her … whatever with Lucifer was going anywhere. He was even more distant these days. Chloe sighted. Thinking about the way thing were with Lucifer, or were not to be precise, always left her heart arching. She closed her laptop and was surprised to find two glowing red eyes staring at her.

"Hey Lucifer! Long time no see."

The black cat was sitting on her table. He wasn't there a minute before, when Marcus had left. Much like the real Lucifer, Catifer was so stealth that sometimes he seemed to just appear out of the blue. His head was slightly tilted to the side and he was moving the far end of his tail. With time, Chloe had understand that this was his equivalent of a greeting smile. She moved her computer away to properly greet him.

"Where have you been? You missed so many things."

As usual Lucifer purred as soon as she started scratching his neck. He even moved closer so she had access to his whole body. Which Chloe fully took advantage of.

"Yeah, I missed you too, Luci. And Trixie as well. You should come back this week-end, she'll be here."

Lucifer elegantly jumped on the couch and tried to climb on her lap. Reluctantly Chloe pushed him away.

"I am sorry, Lucifer, but I've got someone over tonight. I really need to get going, but you can have the couch if you want."

As she stood up, the cat meowed at her. Chloe froze. Lucifer stared, judged, glared, purred, growled even when utterly offended, but he never ever meowed. The sound only stopped Chloe. She turned to look at him. He had those puppy dog eyes that made him look so much like the Lucifer. How she loved that look on him, even if most of the times she couldn't fathom what it meant. Marcus suddenly forgotten Chloe sat back down and let Catifer settle on her lap. He started to purr once again, this time very enthusiastically so. He even rolled on his back to offer her his belly.

Chloe laughed. Lucifer never did that. He was playing jealous and she was letting him. She founded it hard not to. When she was with the real Lucifer, Chloe made it her personal pride not to always indulge him because sometime she felt like she was the only person in their world that could. Everyone else seemed entranced by him. She was too. God knew that she was! But she had made resisting and contradicting him her speciality. With Catifer things were different, easier.

"Someone is needy tonight."

Usually this was exactly the kind of comment that would make him rebuff but not now. Lucifer appeared to be the happiest cat that ever was. He wiggled on her thighs. At some point Chloe saw something on his back. She gently moved him to have a better view and, of course, tonight he allowed it. He almost helped her to change his position. She was right. Two thin lines of white fur were underling his shoulder blades. They were not there before. When she tried to touch them, Lucifer suddenly turned around, his loud purr reduced to a barely audible hum.

Of course that reminded her of another one's reaction. She could hear it, as clear as if Lucifer had said it, as clear as if he was in the room. "Don't, please." And she could not help but to answer the same low-voiced "Okay" she had that night with him. When it became clear that she would not go anywhere near his shoulder blades again, Lucifer laid down on her, putting his head high on her right thigh, his purring renewed.

When Marcus went down, half an hour later, he found Chloe lying on the couch, asleep. One of her hand was resting on the middle of her chest, her thumb doing constant up and down movements like she was caressing her upper abdomen. She had a content smile playing on her lips. What Marcus did not see though was the black feline silhouette glaring at him in the dark.

As always I really hope you liked this chapter. For the next one, we'll be switching tables, it will set when Lucifer dates Eve. Though it will not be a jealous Chloe but a rather angsty one. I'm already sorry for that.
