Eternal Melody



SUMIRE

A deep sigh escapes her lips as she watches the ashes of the cigarette fall to the ground. When she saw the members of the private guard smoking. Sumire found the scent of one of the cigarettes familiar, and asked for a pack. So, in her free time she found herself lighting up the cigarette and watching the falling ashes.

'I wonder, if this is enough to make the scent stick to me.'

Lucifer approaches her from behind and buried his face in her neck. He frowns seeing the cigarette in her hands. "Did we not have this conversation before, that's not good for you."

A conversation he says, it's more like he threw a fit. Recently she has been seeing his angry side more often. But, it doesn't bother her. He is only behaving that way because of the curse. She understands that he loves her, and that is enough.

Sumire turns around to kiss him. That kiss slowly changed to a passionate one when he gained control. He tugs on her hair, and she dug her nails onto his back pulling him closer to her. When she feels his hands on her clothes, she stops him.

"Lucifer." Sumire moaned softly. "I-I thought you had enough?"

Lucifer grunted. "I did, and I intended to spend a peaceful afternoon with you on our bed. Until I caught whiff of that awful scent."

"Uh." Sumire laughs nervously.

She can't exactly tell him that the reason she started to do this is because the scent reminds her of the man from her dreams. Lucifer has been very understanding and a dutiful husband. But he reacts very sensitively to other guys. She has seen the way he looks at Toh whenever Toh visits. 

"Earlier, when we were doing it. You-" Lucifer trails off. "Did you remember something?"

Sumire blinks at his question. Did she react oddly? Seeing him assess her expression she casually shrugs. "If I'm remembering anything, it's err how resourceful you've always been."

'I don't want to hurt him. Besides, it means nothing. Even if I am remembering someone who isn't him.' She leans over and kisses him again.

"Sumire." Lucifer moans.

"Mmmmm?"

He nibbled on her lip. "You're a distraction."

She tilted her head innocently. "A good one?"

"A very sexy one." He nipped her earlobe. "Fuck, I don't have time but I need you inside me wife."

Sumire moves away from him. "No, you need to go."

Lucifer sighed deeply. "At least let me kiss you before I go."

She shakes her head. "No more kissing. Do you really want your subordinates to come here and bother us again?"

It really is embarrassing for her whenever they get caught by his men. Lucifer didn't look pleased but he still retreated back into the room and started to dress himself. Sumire watches him from the corner of her eye. She has been thinking this from the first moment she saw him without clothing. But his body really has been sculpted like some kind of warrior god.

Lucifer catches her staring and smirks. "Do you like what your seeing wife?"

"Mm." Sumire nodded. "I do."

Lucifer walked back over, still half dressed. His bare chest still in view as he grabs hold of her hand and places it there. "It is yours, everything."

Sumire averts her gaze. "You don't have to do this. I already know that."

Besides, it's not like there are many women he can go to anymore. She already destroyed his harem, and those who escaped the fray are staying away from her. 

Lucifer must have understood what she was thinking since he chuckles as he brings his lips to her neck. He yanked her hair and let his fangs pierce her skin. Oh, he's drinking her blood. It's good that he is being more open about drinking from her. She weakly extends her hands out and runs her fingers through his silky hair. 

"Lucifer, do you-"

"Wife, you have such delicious thoughts about me. I've been able to sense your desires recently, and it pleases me greatly."

It does? If he's happy, she ought to be glad. But, recently the memories of another man makes her feel guilty when she sees him. After kissing for a few minutes, Lucifer eventually lets her go and finishes getting changed.

"Husband." Sumire called out. "I'm gaining more memories regarding our past lives. Let's talk about it later?"

While she is regaining more memories about that other man. She truly is starting to get more memories of her lifes with Lucifer. This is the reason why she has become more comfortable with him. 

"Very well."

"Also," Sumire laughed. "No matter the lifetime. I always seem to fall for your good looks."

He smirked. "-and my skillful hands?"

"That too." Sumire covered her mouth and laughed again. "Especially that?"

His gaze softened. "Be good my wife. I'll return shortly."

A few minutes after Lucifer left, she heard a knock on her door "My lady? You called for me."

Sumire nodded and Renna entered the room. She takes a seat on the couch and points to the seat beside her. Renna respectfully bows and sits down on the opposite couch. Renna-chan really is formal.

"It's nothing much, just I heard you singing in the gardens the other day."

At those words Renna's calm mask vanished. "Y-you heard that?"

"I did. You were amazing! I didn't know you could sing like that."

Renna's cheeks coloured and she coughs. "I cannot sing as well as you my lady. But it is something I enjoy."

Sumire tilts her head. "You think I sing well?"

Renna looked at her surprised. "My lady, have you never heard yourself sing before?"

"I-I have but, it's not like I have anything to compare myself to."

Nobody else in the manor really likes music. If they do, they don't mention it in front of her. Jacks accidentally let it slip the other day that her husband was the one who gave that order.

Renna paused and suddenly slid a small device in front of her. "This is an old fashioned music player. It's small, so you can keep it hidden. There a few songs in there, from a particular singer. I am sure you will like it."
