Levina's POV

After Lucifer left, I ended up taking a real tour of the house. I may be his mate but I didn't want to overstep too much so I didn't linger long in his bedroom. After a brief glance of his office/library I realized I'd have to clean and organize it as well as his work office. The king of hell is so unorganized it makes me cringe. I'd touch his office a different day, today I'm going to alphabetize his movies. He had over a 1,000 DVDs, probably close to 2,000. Fuck this is going to take forever.

I lost track of time as I organized by letter and then went even further. I was just getting to the 't's, "Levina! Love?"

"In here Luce!" Lucifer walked into the theater, looking worried, "Hey, what time is it? Are you done with work already?"

I was on my knees surrounded by DVDs as Lucifer came closer and knelt as close as he could, "Precious have you been at this all day? I left you eight hours ago." He frowned.

"I'm sorry I thought I'd surprise you, I needed to stay busy. I always liked my DVDs alphabetized. I can leave it the rest of the way. Though that'll bother me more..." I trailed off as his frown deepened more. "Lucifer I'm sorry I can change it back."

"I'm not upset about you alphabetizing my DVDs. You didn't even reset. Did you eat?" He looked worried.

"Yeah, I had a small break early." I lied and he stood up and I shrunk back.

"You know I can smell your emotions." He was stating and my face fell being caught in the lie.

"I'm sorry but I'm not hungry. I wasn't all day, I'm not now. I just need to finish this." I started sorting the 't's and putting them on the shelf. "I was hoping to be done before you got home but you have more DVDs than I thought." I was rambling and nervous and I didn't want him mad at me.

He ran his hand down his face and then moved his hand too quickly and I flinched away. I flinched right into the case and hit my head, wincing but keeping my eyes averted to the ground in submission. "Levina." My name was so soft on his lips I shuddered. "Please look at me." I trailed my eyes up from the ground and found him kneeling in front of me. "Are you okay?" I nodded, still afraid to look at him too long, he sighed. "I'm going to go make supper. You have an hour until it's ready then you're eating."

"I'm not hungry. I'm dead I don't need to eat." I met his eyes with defiance.

"You do in fact need to still eat. I said that the first day you got here and you haven't eaten in over two weeks. So, you can either willingly come eat or I will tie you to a chair and force you to eat." I gapped at him unable to form a response, "I'd prefer if you ate willingly, because the first time I tie you up I want it to be for pleasure." I still couldn't answer, "One hour Vina." Then he stood and walked away.

My brain was fuzzy as I made myself continue with the DVDs and amazingly finished before the hour. I quietly walked into the kitchen, Lucifer had ditched his suit jacket and rolled up his shirt sleeves. His forearms flexed as he stirred a delicious smelling sauce, and I was weak. "Smells good." He turned just enough to give me a knowing smile. "Can I do anything to help?"

"No precious you just sit there and look pretty for me." I blushed as I sat the island, this man was going to be the death of me. Lucifer already had two plates set out, along with two wine glasses. "Pick out a white wine by your knees there." He said as he kept stirring and I bent down to look at his wine rack. It smelt like he was making alfredo so I grabbed a chardonnay. When I set I on the counter he looked back and beamed. "A woman who knows her wines. I'm impressed."

"I worked at liquor store for a few years out of high school." I said as I searched for a bottle opener. Finally finding one I started opening the wine.

"I'm a little rusty on U.S. laws but don't you have to be 21 to drink." He plated the noodles and then poured the sauce over top.

"Ah yes but not to sell it, you only have to be 18." I poured us both a glass as I sat back down.

"How do you go from liquor to electronics?" Lucifer asked amused as he garnished our dishes.

"Like I said I was good at organizing and technology was easy to understand. I got sick of seeing regulars at the liquor store sometimes multiple times a day so I switched to the electronics." He finally finished what he was doing and sat down next to me. "This looks amazing. Thank you."

"You can thank me after you eat." He slid my plate a little closer.

I took a sip of my wine just to piss him off. "So bossy." I muttered.

"I have to be when I have a brat who refuses to eat. I also run hell; I can't be a pushover." I looked him up and down if I felt normal, I would have offered to blow him to get out of eating but just that thought had me fighting a shudder. Fuck Seth, I loved giving head and he took that from me, my anger was rising now. "Levina, are you okay?"

"I'm fine." I took a bite of food to avoid talking more. Lucifer seemed to let it go and we ate quietly for a bit, "How was work today?"

Lucifer sighed, "It was fine. There's some demons causing upset about Hades attacking Seth but nothing I can't handle." I nodded slowly unsure of how to respond.

"I'm sorry this is all my fault." I set my fork down and looked down at my lap trying to control my tears.

"Levina please this is not your fault." Lucifer gently put a finger under my chin to make me look at him. "This is all Seth's fault. Please you did nothing wrong. I don't want you feeling any guilt over this. I want you here and I wouldn't change that for anything."

"Okay." I whispered unsure of what else to say.

"Finish eating and then we can go watch a movie." I nodded and finished about half my plate before feeling full. "Come on love you can eat more than that. Please?"

"Lucifer I'm sorry I'm full, I eat small meals and then get hungry within a couple of hours. I promise I'll eat more later if I get hungry." I fluttered my eyelashes at him.

"Fine. But you will be eating later." He took my plate and put it in the fridge while I finished my wine with a smirk.

"Whatever you say daddy." Fuck! He spun around with an eyebrow raised and a large smirk on his face. "It slipped out! I meant sir."

"I know you said you were also a little." He leaned across the counter to get close to me, "You can call me daddy when we're alone, sir in front of others. I don't need people thinking I can be soft. I'm not trying to be rude about that but it is what it is."

"I get it. You need a strong front or you'll have uprisings all the time." I patted his hand, "My feelings aren't hurt. You go start the movie; I'll start the dishes."

"No need" Lucifer snapped his fingers and the dishes were done.

"Damn I can get used to that. I hated doing dishes." He laughs and gently takes my hand, leading me to the theater. "Can I actually change first? I need something comfy." I was still wearing the dress from Seph.

"Yes, go ahead and I can change too. You have five minutes and then I come looking for you whether you're dressed or not." I blushed and nodded then took off.

Lucifer's POV

After Levina dashed off I snapped into my room. I changed from my suit to a tight t-shirt and workout shorts. Then snapped back down to the theater, I beat Levina but not by much as she came padding into the room in only a hoodie and short shorts. My eye twitched along with my dick, I only had so much will power. "Ready beautiful?" She nodded shyly and came over to my wall of DVDs. "Thank you by the way you did amazing." She gave me that dazzling smile before nodding her thanks. "What do you want to watch?"

"Hmm something action packed." I raised an eyebrow at her but pulled her to wall of DVDs anyway. She perused the DVDs for a bit, going up on her tiptoes every once in a while. Why was that simplest thing so cute? "Here I know it's cliché but I love this one." She handed me God's of Egypt and I put it in the DVD player.

I turned and smiled at her as she curled up with her legs under her in the center chair, "You just love it for Jamie Lannister."

I sat next to her, as she looked up at me with a coy smile, "No not just him, Gerard Butler too."

"So, you're into older men huh those guys are like 20 years your senior." I turned to look down at her, she had her hair up in a messy bun. But a strand was hanging over her forehead and I brushed it back. She fought a shiver but she shrugged to my question.

"And do I even want to know how old you truly are?" She asked and I internally cringed but it must have showed because she let out a short laugh. Oh, I missed that sound. "Yeah, that's what I thought." She said to my reaction.

We were quiet for a bit while the movie started, "Do you care how old I am?" I asked quietly after a few moments.

"No of course not." She said just as quietly. "I won't like grow old and die right?"

I paused the movie to look at her, "No love when we mate, you'll take some of my powers essentially become a demon. Halting your aging."

She nodded as she thought about what I said, but then her eyes glassed over. "Why would you want to mate with someone so tainted?"

"No, no. Vina you're not tainted. You're my mate, I want you." She nodded; I tilted her head down so I could kiss her forehead. The best part about these seats, I could lift the middle arm. "Come here beautiful." She slid over and curled up against my chest, I snapped a blanket over her and she sighed and cuddled further into me.

Starting the movie again, I watched the movie as much as I watched her. Within twenty minutes she was asleep. I caressed her cheek and she didn't even stir. Fuck Seth, she thought I wouldn't want her because of him. I would always want her and I will take forever proving it.

She woke up cuddled in my arms as I carried her to bed, "Shh beautiful go back to sleep." She luckily didn't argue with me and passed back out.

I left her alone to sleep when her screaming woke me up, no not again! I snapped myself to her room where she was thrashing on the bed. "Please Levina love. I'm here. You're safe." A sob tore through her body as she woke up. She backed away from my touch but realized it was me and relaxed. "Did he come for you? He shouldn't be able to touch you with my block." I spoke quietly and softly to try and calm her.

She shook her head, "No it was just a nightmare." She shuddered and wrapped her arms around her abdomen.

"Come on precious you'll be safe and warm in my room." She didn't even fight me as I picked her to carry her to my bed. After I set her down, I kneeled in front of her, "What was your nightmare about?" I asked hesitantly.

She opened and closed her mouth several times before defeatedly saying, "I can't talk about it. I can't get the words out." She sounded so broken and all I wanted to do was hold her tight.

"We don't have to talk yet but maybe you'll feel better with me next to you?" She nodded and pushed herself further back on the bed. I pulled back the blankets and laid next to her. When she twitched as she laid on her back, I gently grabbed her hand, "Come here precious." She laid her head against my chest and curled her body around me. She fit so perfectly in the crook of my arm and I was getting hard... down boy.

Her tears hit my chest and I squeezed her tighter, "I'm here baby. Let it out." She cried for only a few minutes before seeming to collect herself. Then she lifted her head to look at me.

"Thank you." She whispered and kissed my bare chest. She fell asleep after that and stayed asleep. I even got the best night of sleep myself; she was never sleeping alone again.
