Helping the Lovely ( Lost Rainbow with style pt2):

Night at the hotel was different then day since the lobby area where the bar was closed up by Husk, and empty parlor. Only lights that were on was a single lamp at the new reception desk in the entrance area. Elanye had to check out after wandering down from the apple tower. Her freshly braided and tucked to one side as she wore a Bow Print, Lettuce Trim, Cami Nightdress in a basic apple. Matching flats and cardigan sweater she wore were for warmth since the hotel was Shelly at night also. Was bent over the deck to get a better look at the space behind the reception for personal reasons.

"Well, Well, Well," Lucifer's voice sounded happy at the view, "Hello there."

"Hi back to you." Elanye flipped back over to wave at him.

"Like how you greet," He walked toward her, "When do you get off?"

She would have answered him in through the front Angel Dust didn't walk about to find the two. Behind him the door closed as he just stared at them in complete silence as tension built.

"This reminds me of porno series I once did," Angel Dust finally spoke, "Hello Hotel."

"Sound interests," Lucifer liked the name, "I think …. "

Elanye cut him off to lean over and tell him what the series was about and entailed in mild detail. Lucifer's eyes widened over what she told him as he asked her really when she pulled away. She signed and nodded her head while flipping her braid onto her other shoulder.

"Are you guys enacting the scene where the receptionist welcomes the guest?" Angel Dust asked rather enthusiastically.

"No!" An appalled Lucifer and mildly annoyed, Elanye answered him.

"Alright," Angel Dust knew when to back off, "I understand."

"It's not that we're interested in learning more about it," Elanye pointed out, "This time."

Lucifer enforced her point when he pulled an apple shaped clock with the current time on it. Which made Angel Dust realize just how late he was getting back to the hotel. Along with being slightly displeased he missed Husk closing up the bar.

"Want us to walk you up?" An offer came from Lucifer.

"We're not Husk, but you want to talk ?" Elanye further asked.

Angel Dust took them up on their offers after the long day that Valentino had given him the light. Which was shown on his face when Elanye had to make a stop by the kitchen. Where she got a cloth rag soaked in ice water to put on his face. To lessen the swelling of his eye and bruising on his face when she came back to Lucifer and Angel Dust.

"This is me asking," Angel Dust asked, "Can either one of you heal?"

"More my brother than me," Elanye shrugged, "Weird since within Bloodmarch Bloodline, it's women who were the healer and man the magical ones, like combat or offensive roles."

"Conjuring and deal making is all," Lucifer produced a single golden thread, "Got anything that needed to be sewn up."

"Your brother willing to make house calls?" Angel Dust asked.

"Nope," Elanye was quick to say no, "Night is when the shades that survived the Extermination get chased about in undergrowth by the feral HellHounds."

"All that barking and hollowed screaming, " Lucifer recalled, "Nosy."

"I'm relieved that I never went," Angel Dust held written cloth in place and got chills up his spine, "How did you survive in that place?"

"Our wits and knowing the terrain." Memories of the past flood Elanye's mind.

Lucifer drew her into his arms when she couldn't finish answering Angel Dust like she wanted. Angel Dust apologized for an unpleasant visit down memory lane for Elanye. Making the walk through the rest of the Hotel a quiet one for them until Elanye hugged Angel Dust. He returned her hug releasing her to make his way back to his room.

"Does he always come back like that?" Lucifer asked Elanye.

"Yes." She revealed she wasn't wearing gloves.

He went on to see memories she picked up from Angel Dust of that night under Valentino's abusive hand. By dissolving his own glove from just one of his own hands to touch her. Trauma that was carried over tested his control when he watched the images. Left him needing a moment to calm down with their hands disconnecting. His glove returned to his hand when he was stopped from turning away from her.

"What did we discuss about you hiding from me?" She gently reminds him.

"Don't." He smiled looking at her.

Terms she set down for beginning to sleep over at the hotel within the apple tower with Lucifer. Where he couldn't hide a single aspect of his life from her when she was around. She came to handle his bouts of depression and his role as King of Hell, rather well. When he tried to keep things that bothered him or shy away from her. They needed to work out if he wanted her around like now when she came to acknowledge him. Being the one that took his hand with her with a gentle tug to draw him toward her. He accepted by falling into her embrace when two soft mounds welcomed him. Material of her sweater and nightdress somehow felt like the outer shell of a pillow. One different from silken cami with lace accents and these thin straps. Lilith used to wear as a form of night wear whatever they turned in for the night

"Enjoying yourself?" She noticed where the side of his face landed.

"…" Goody ball smile he wore was enough for her, "A few minutes?"

"60 seconds." All she was getting.

"5 minutes." He didn't want this moment to end.

She leaned forward to whisper what he could do in the privacy of his room to her without getting caught. Had him taking advantage of their still held hands to relocate them to the apple tower. Where they landed in the center of his bed with him taking a pose beside her. Eyes on what stick out from undone buttons of her sweater as he just laid there.

"Didn't get enough of me during tube time?" She reminds him.

Finally getting a chance to actually witness her in that clawfoot tub with bubbles making up most of the water. Scent of apple in the air as a few of his rubber ducks floated around her. Her hair pinned up into a loose bun using a series of duck clips placed throughout her head. Widen his smile at the memory of how she bathed herself before he joined her.

"Will never get enough of you." He wiggled his eyebrows at her.

"Are we cuddling tonight ?" She asked, undoing other buttons of her sweater, " 'cause .."

Her attention was drawn to his light blue, flannel pajamas with a duck print on them with clear buttons. Which Alastor whole heartedly disliked in his usual verbal banter hours ago. Got Lucifer to learn what he usually wears when Elanye 's brother does a full tail removal.

"I do want to reenact a certain fantasy of mine," He recalls, "How are you with joint baths?"

What he got was her usual smile before she leaned down toward an ear of his. Whispered what she could do with only a loofah and water that came to her chest. Almost made him thankful he remembered he had an unopened bottle of scent bubble bath and had plumbing to the claw footed tube updated.

How Charlie got everyone to visit the river Acheron for a lake day was an odd idea of sorts. Blame off this newest group activity was placed on breakfast conversation. Lucifer wanted to take Elanye with him somewhere for a few days. Idea of taking her to shoreline came up between French toast and scrambled eggs. How Charlie grew excited over the idea and wanted EVERYONE to come.

"Can't," Angel Dust like the idea of going, "One word."

"Valentino?" Elanye and Husk answered.

"My my," Alastor sipped from his mug, "What shall we do?"

"This is why I like you," Angel Dust winked at Elanye, "You ever thought about getting in on porn scene? 'Cause you got the legs, that perky set of boobs, and the way you have The Big Dick In Charge wrapped around your finger."

"Angel Dust," Elanye approached him, "If I could find a way out of your contractual agreement with Valentino? Would you allow me to try it?"

"How?" Charlie, Lucifer, and Husk asked her.

"I must hear this." Alastor was intrigued.

"Prince Stolas," She answered, "I better get going to get the dominoes set up."

She kissed Lucifer before he could object to her silly idea early in the morning as Alastor and Charlie liked her idea. Laugh that escaped Alastor's lips was nightmare fuel that had Vaggie getting chills. Angel Dust went completely speechless over the topic with Husk refilling his mimosa glass.

"I may have to invite him over to explain everything." Elanye mumbled to herself.

She would go on about what progress her brother made with Stolas as she walked away. Wasn't for Lucifer chasing after her with a sigh about not leaving her alone. Altering his nightwear and robe he wore over it to his signature clothing. Scooping up Elanye when she barely got her hooded capelet on her shoulders. Going on about how this was a dangerous idea and would get her killed.

"Would you take me any other way?" She asked him.

"I prefer this version," He reached for the cords of her hood, "Don't ever change."

Cord of her capelet was tied into an apple shaped knot before he retracted his hands. To only have her owl fly on to her shoulder with feathers rustled up. Grasping his walking stick from thin air with one hand as the other was offered to Elanye. Which she took as red leather gloves wrapped around both her hands. An apple shaped hole was on the back and was a perfect fit for her.

"You know," She whispered, "How to spoil a girl."

Her owl would remind the two they weren't alone when he landed on her shoulder. Rustling up his feathers with neck sunken in before the two disappeared, in a swirling fog of deep red smoke with sparkling, golden glitter. Had a smiling Charlie taking a seat right next to Vaggie with their hands coming together. Alastor's voicing this was going to be an interesting day he surely was sticking around to see. Angel Dust blinked a few times trying to process what just happened. Slowly sipping his glass that was refilled by Husk with one arm and other poked his food. Niffty popped from nowhere with a broom and dustpan in hand, swept up gold glitter.

Not knowing the same mess was left Lucifer took Elayne to the front door of a Palace belonging to Stolas. Where he knocked on the front door with the top of his walking stick. Which he twirled around in his hand when Elanye braced herself who was about to answer. In the form of a ticked off Stella with her Imp right beside her after the door swung open. Elanye's owl screeched at the sight of Stella with wings slapping until he was calmed.

"Here to see my husband?" Stella asked, giving a stick eye to Elanye's owl.

"Yes," Elanye answered her, "He in?"

Stella would have told her off, if she didn't notice who stood beside Elanye just watching her. Swallowing her words with her best fake smile and allowing Elayne with her owl beside Lucifer inside. Telling them, Stolas was in his study crying over a delivery from Asmodeus. Which they walked toward with Elanye filling in Lucifer about why Stella disliked her.

"That seems rude of her," Lucifer didn't understand, "I say give him the divorce over this."

"It's kinda gotten worse," Elanye strokes her owl's feathers, "Hitman she hired hasn't really helped the situation."

Talking about one of her brother's more difficult clients wasn't easy since Striker liked his work. Her owl agreed with her mood by turning his head out or angry toward mentioning of Striker. Her brother's blacksmith skills were expert level to the point shoeing a hell horse was simple. Even able to repair Angel steel made guns that were damaged or worn out.

"He must give Carminea a run for her money," Lucifer wondered, "Being able to repair a Crafted Blessing gun… wow."

"Actually," Elanye folded her gloves hands under her capelet, "He was under a soul contract with her until his POV changed, and he became useless to her. Which had her releasing him from the deal."

Lucifer grew quiet over that bit of news when they came to Stolas' study with cracked opened. Elanye went inside to find Stolas admiring a Asmodean Crystal in pristine packaging.

"I've heard about them, but never seen one." Her voice greeted Stolas.

"Give me a minute," Stolas sniffled, "This was a long awaited request a dear friend had granted."

"I'll wait," She took a seat on the corner of his desk, "How well at contract negotiations are you?"

Her owl was welcomed by Stolas from her shoulder to ledge of his desk with his feathers stoked.

Being licked by Valentino while being asked if she ever thought about getting into porn. Wasn't a scarring memory for Elanye when she appeared before the Vees with Stolas. Vox's fake platitudes mixed with Velvette's disrespectful airs were headache inducing for her. Between trying to not speak about Alastor about her family ties to him. Her fashion sense being apple themed and tad out of date in most uncivil manner. Valentino was forced to sit down with her and speak about his contract with Angel Dust. His working hours and terms were one of many things needed to be worked out. Which fueled a fury that Valentino aimed at her whole time they interacted. Revenge he slowly formed to get back her when the negotiations ended. Never surfaced in his twisted mind when her brother appeared with a few harpies. Needing to file a complaint with vox and a crate or two of trashed vox drones. A warning was given to vox to stop spying when Alastor visited as crates were left. Which left Valentino to back off when the harpies screeched at them before leaving.

Last sight he had of Elanye when a disgusted and offended Stolas left with her was a scary one. She acted kindly and the smile she wore was graceful poise when she moved. When he looked at her eyes, Silvery blue that held an eerie calm was replaced by a smoldering rage of deep cobalt. Had him backing off become nothing more then a memory, as Elanye finally got to see Lucifer on a giant Duck Floatie in a pair of matching swim trunks. Taking place as a celebration about Angel Dust newly found freedom from Valentino. One that allowed him to now freely attend a lake side vacation with his friends.

"Thanks." Angel Dust approached Elanye, "Getting a royal like you did and all."

"Everyone deserves a chance," She answered, "Now go on."

He ended up complimenting her on her all black, 2 piece swimsuit made up of halter top and bikini bottoms. Mesh pieces connecting the middle and off the shoulder/ draping sleeves. Got him told this was one of her own designs of swimwear called Black Widow. Since she wasn't much of a fan of the line of swim wear that Velvette designed. Made her owl hoot from his perch on top of the chair she sat.

"You my dear," Alastor took a seat by Elanye, "Are the reason I like being around your brother and you."

"Chaos in the purest form?" She asked.

Laugh she earned from red-n- white striped, full body one piece swimsuit clad Alastor. Before a beach ball came their way, Alastor took control by using his shadow tentacles to catch and reserve the ball. Toward the ones that tossed the piece of blown up plastic. Leaving Elanye once more alone under an umbrella for a minute. Before she was whooshed away by a golden glitter filled, deep red, smoke. Relocated to the same duck floatie Lucifer had been laid across on. Left her owl to flap his wings at the sight of ever disappearing.

"I thought I told you to stop doing that." She reminded him.

"When have I ever listened?" He whispered, "You wearing that swimsuit is tempting."

"I didn't wear this to seduce you," She reminded him, "I wore this 'cause of where we were."

She ended up getting pulled back into his lap when he snaked an arm around her waist. Making sure he came to rest his chin on one of her bare shoulders. Taking in the way she had her hair braided and rested on one of her shoulders.

"Are you telling the truth?" He asked with a hissed.

What he got was her moving slowly in his arms to where he could clearly feel her move around. Until she came to a stop and pressed the front of her chest into his. Craning her neck just right to lay the rest of her torso up against his own. Before the scent of her body and beating of her own heart could be felt.

"Don't tempt me." She warned him.

She then started to nibble the back of his pointed ears without even using her tongue. Her lips were just moist enough to trace the back flap and lower lobes. Felt like a tickle mixed with an airy kiss that drove Lucifer wild in those seconds. She pulled away to find him biting lower lip to keep from whimpering.

"Well?" She asked, "You think I was lying?"

He ended up nodding his head for her while leaning forward enough to rest his forehead on a shoulder. That one of her own when he fought his aroused state. She noticed it was clearly seen by her within his new form of bulge in swim trunks. Dismissing the illusionary enchantment here hand on his hands in place of his gloves.

"Take care of that," She barely moved her legs without brushing the covered lump, "Don't get me dirty."

He made quick work loosening his swim trunks with mild relief to his free member. That sprung from the small opening made for him to reach in with his own hand. Gasping when he took hold of himself and fondled his own base. Pace matched his breathing when he made a direct eye connection with her. His free hand was lighting touched by one of her bare hands. Surge of emotion one sided pleasure from him shot through her like a bullet. To only be returned by a suffocating sensuality from her as if she was touching him

"I am…" He tried to get the words out, "…cumming…"

He wouldn't completely finish himself when she gently removed his hand to further unspoken intensity. Had his muscles tensing and relaxing at once as his eyes adjusted. He watched her dip her head down and take him past gloss coated lips. Black apple coloring that started to swallow him whole without choking. He felt those moist walls surrounding him had spurred on his release.

"El …" He could only pronounce the first half of her name, ".. anye.."

Concern she would smear her perfectly done up lipstick color he hadn't seen before. Possibly be unable to take the sweeten flavor of his seaman or the bulk. In the end she swallowed him whole without letting a single drop escape. Which left his head spinning when she lifted her head when she sat back up.

"Temptress." He found his voice.

"Mischief-maker," She stuck her tongue out at him, "You know you like it?"

"More than you know it," His head tilted sideways to look at her, "Flawless."

Fastening his swim trunks as he shared a brief kiss in the chill of the lake's air. He took advantage of her sticking a tongue out at him and the gap between them. Mixed with lingering embers of pleasure from that moment minutes ago. Ones that spilled over through their kiss for both pulling apart.

"Dad! Miss. Bloodmarch!" Charlie called to them from the shoreline.

"Ready to head in?" She asked him.

His answer came when he hooked an arm under her just enough to knock her over. Draw her under him with a floatie to her back and him hovering over her. Up she reached to wrap her arms around his neck to pull him down. Not like she could move freely from him when he tangled their legs up. He wanted to drag this moment out until someone interfered with them.

"One second." He whispered.

He braced a hand right next to her head when he captured her lips to silence her. Would come to an end when someone landed on the head of the duck floatie. Wings flapping and screeching to get them to stop sucking face.

"Hoo hoo has spoken," She reminds Lucifer, "He'll get worse."

"How bad?" Lucifer asked with a sly grin, "Anyway to get him to attack Adam?"

"Ajax beating him up is not good enough," She laughed at the last time Ajax chased Adam, "Since he sat on him yesterday."
