Chapter 910 My Beautiful Monster Part 11

LUCIFER

'I may have stolen her away, but I have every intention of giving her back when I have finished dealing with the pest issue. I can't cause problems for her when she eventually returns.' There are already so many people who dislike her, for reasons I do not understand.'

Contrary to what Sumire's circle believes. He has nothing to do with those rumors. In fact, he is still trying to find out where those rumors came from. It's not hard to guess who started them, aside from him there are only two others in the criminal world who has as much power as he does. Considering when the rumors started, it's easy to pinpoint who it is. But, Urasaba Suigetsu. Sumire's grandfather covers his tracks very well. It isn't easy to get evidence against him.

"Also, there are places in the manor that could use some work. Would you mind if I did some decorating?"

"Not at all, just stay away from the west wing."

'That's where the harem is located, and I can't see her liking that place.'

He traced the mark he just made on her neck and Sumire looked at him nervously. "Err." She laughed softly. "So, um--"

"You do not need to be so nervous around me."

"But, every time you look at me. I feel like your undressing me with your eyes-"

Lucifer chuckled amused. "I can snap your clothes away in a flash if that is what you're asking."

At those words her cheeks coloured but there was a spark in her eyes. "I want an example."

His lips curved to a smirk. "This is an odd way for you to request to see me naked."

Sumire sighed and rolled her eyes. "I don't think I even need to request that."

Indeed, from the very first day she agreed to share a room with him. He has gradually been teasing her with his body.?Lucifer reached over and tucked the blanket around her body, before leaning over and kissing her forehead softly.

"Go to sleep my heart. I can show you my bed tricks another day."

Sumire nodded. "Mm, goodnight Lucifer."

Hearing a knock on the door. Lucifer looked up to see a woman with short black coloured hair with navy blue coloured highlights.

Nagawa Akane. The other eldest daughter of the Nagawa family. He has never truly had a conversation with her. Since initially the one who was to represent the Nagawa family was the other twin Kanade. But he has seen her around when her grandmother visits.

"I shall cut directly to the chase. This search for new servants is because Sumire is here."

"I am aware."

His lips curve to a smirk. "It seems I have underestimated your brother. Did he send you here?"

"My brother doesn't know."

Lucifer's gaze fell directly on the girls eyes to see if she was speaking the truth. To his surprise she didn't flinch and looked directly at him. 'She is brave, unlike her twin that's for sure. The other one never met his gaze.' It seems like she is telling the truth and that incompetent fool doesn't know. But, he isn't foolish to believe that she is the only one with this information. He could pry into her mind and find out. However, he wants to see how this plays out.

Rumours say that this girl is even more hostile than her sister Kanade regarding Sumire. But, the girls actions say so otherwise. She is one of the few artists in the company who havent directly participated in openly bullying Sumire in front of the media.

Now she is applying for a job, that will put her bellow Sumire.

It is a risk accepting her application, and bringing her here. The rational move would be to erase her memories so she doesn't remember. But, he feels like even if he does that. This girl will once again come to the conclusion on her own.

"Very well, I will accept you for this job. I think I don't need to say anything. But you are not to mention anything that would trigger her memories. No mention of your brother especially."

Akane nodded. "As you know, my family isn't united. None of my siblings are close to each other. So that will not be an issue."

Not close, and yet nagawa Sano is adamant about keeping his family safe. Before he could say anymore, the doors opened and Sumire rushed in excitedly.

"Lucifer! I heard that you'd be working here today so I was thinking maybe later we could-" Sumire paused seeing Akane. "Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt."

Lucifer immediately sensed the girls discomfort and he motioned her to come over. 'I have noticed how insecure she is whenever she sees other women with me.'

Sumire does so and he pulled the girl onto his lap and kissed her. Despite her initial surprise Sumire ran her fingers in his hair and moaned softly. "L-Lucifer your guest-"

"She is to be one of your ladies and waiting."

At those words Sumire sighed in relief and he paused. Is she jealous? Is that why she acts oddly whenever he is with other women? Surely not. Lucifer returned to kissing her and the entire time Nagawa Akane didn't say anything, but neither did she look away. He didn't know what it was, but it felt like the girl was assessing his every move. She is dangerous, but it's better to keep the dangerous ones close.

After the two introduced themselves to each other. Nagawa Akane excused herself, and he turned to the girl on his lap. Her entire face was still flushed.

He buried his face in the girls neck. "I believe, I have a few extra minutes to spare. Will you accompany me wife?"

Sumire blinked and laughed softly. "I suppose I can. But, don't you have a lot of work? Is it okay?"

Lucifer nodded. "You needed me for something, didn't you?"

"Oh, I wanted to spend some time with you. I mean," Sumire looked at the office and pointed to the couch. "I wasn't planning on doing much but reading today, and you did say you'd allow me to read the books in here."

Her reading while he does his work? 'I don't think I will be able to get much done if she is here. Even if she just sits there, she can distract me.'

Sumire ran her fingers through his hair. "Would I be distracting you?"

Lucifer nodded. "As I have told you before. You are a vision to behold."

"I suppose I will have to take my reading elsewhere."

Lucifer shakes his head. "However, I think I deserve to be distracted today." He is kissing her again before long.
