Eternal Melody

SUMIRE/NORAH

That foreign prince, 'I need to discuss it with Lex. I need him to know that his brother- that I've met up with his brother more than once. Lex needs to know that his brother changed, he turned into a good person. Maybe I can find him in this life and we can explain it together?'

As she was thinking this, she caught a flash of someone managing to break free of the ropes. They were attacking her before she could process what was going on. Black shadows wrapped around the person's arms, and legs. Hearing a terrible crunching sound of bones breaking. Her eyes widened horrified.

This isn't the first time she has seen him lose control, didn't it happen in their other lives too? But, this is different. The darkness feels like it would suffocate her at any moment. Lucifer flung the remains of the person aside, and turned to the remaining individuals. They were looking at Lucifer like he was a monster, and in that moment she thought the same. But, he is so beautiful.

'My beautiful monster, mine.'

"Lex." Sumire steps forward and shakes her head. "Don't--"

"What the hell are you doing?" A voice boomed from across the courtyard.

Sumire turned her attention to the voice to see a man with silver coloured hair and eyes. She searched her current self's memory and recalled the second favour she asked.

'Can, you make sure to tell Toh the truth? He needs to know.'

So, is this the other one occupying her heart? Now that she is in her body. She understands what Aoi-san was referring to now. Just seeing this Toh person, makes her heartbeat. Oh, her love life in this life certainly isn't simple. It's no wonder Lucifer had to force the mark onto her neck.

'I do have some questions about that incident. Like, was it the beast? It must have been. The Lex I know would never be so cruel.' 

It's true that he was losing control at the end of their fourth lifetime, and their fifth, the beast became uncontrollable. He even hurt her.

"Perfect timing Toh. I was going to shatter their minds myself. But since you're here and Norah doesn't want me lifting a finger. You can do it." Lucifer commanded.

Lucifer's tone felt so cold and menacing. She has never heard him speak like this before.

Toh raised his eyebrow at the name but said nothing.

"Shatter their minds." Lucifer commanded. "Or I tear them apart myself."

"Wait, you don't have to-" Sumire stepped forward.

Toh smiled weakly at her and turned to the row of people.

"Are these the ones who assisted Nagawa Mira to harm Sumire? The ones who leaked Sumire's info to that fan?"

"Yes." Lucifer said.

Sumire bit her lip knowing that she wouldn't be able to stop them. If these people are responsible for her accidents in this life, there is no way they will be able to get away.

She wanted to stay here and support Toh. He clearly doesn't want to do this. If she stays, maybe he will feel reassured with her presence? 

Before she could speak up, Lucifer walked over, wrapped her in his shadows and practically dragged her away. 

Sumire didn't know how they arrived at the room so quickly. But she knew that words wouldn't work with Lucifer right now. Sure enough, when she turned to face him. His lips met hers in a crushing and suffocating kiss. His hands tangled in her hair roughly, almost like he would tear apart the strands at any moment.

"Lex.. Mnmmmn." Sumire moaned.

"They tried to harm you Norah. They tried to take you from me again."

"Its alright, I'm here. I'm alive." Sumire said softly.

"Alive." Lucifer repeated those words in a trance. With a snap of his fingers, her clothes were on the ground and she was fully naked and exposed.

Her cheeks flushed. "Lex, I'm still sore." She lied and tried to reason with him. It won't do any good for both of them if they don't discuss what happened.

Lucifer paused and then started to massage her breasts.

"I'll help you."

Oh this fool-

Lucifer tossed her onto the bed, the hunger in his eyes was difficult to miss. He really is looking at her like he will eat her at any moment. 

"Your gorgeous Norah." Lucifer commented.

"Y-you've made yourself quite clear on that." Sumire exclaimed.

Lucifer laughed. His gaze scanned her body and she stupidly felt shy. 'He doesn't normally look at me like this. He is still the same, I see traits of the man I fell in love with. But, there is certainly something different now.'

"I apologize in advance, if I am too rough with you. May I enjoy the rest of my meal?" Lucifer asked.

He asks, but his lips are biting her neck and he is buried inside her before she could get any words out.

'I need to tell him the truth, that I can't be here any longer than a few days after I give birth.'

Aoi-san said that's as much time as time as she can give her. It makes sense. This is her body but at the same time it isn't. It's fair and yet it's cruel too. Perhaps she shouldn't have accepted and just continued longing for the husband she has missed for two centuries and a half. However, when she smelled Lex scent on her current self. She became desperate.

It was desperation that led to this current situation. But, she doesn't mind it too much. 

"Are you enjoying yourself?" Lucifer suddenly asked.

Sumire blinks surprised. There is still a dark tint in his eyes, but he is speaking a lot more normally than earlier. She extended her hand out and ran her fingers through Lucifer's hair affectionately.

"Is there a reason I wouldn't be?" Sumire challenged.

Lucifer chuckled. "Aside from the rather rough treatment?"

"I don't mind." Sumire said truthfully.

She doesn't mind. After he became cursed, he was more aggressive with her in bed. But not once had that bothered her, because she loves him. Because she loves him, she doesn't mind giving herself to him. Perhaps because she said those words, or perhaps he saw how her body reacted. However, after that Lucifer took her repeatedly. 

'I don't need sweet words from him. I just want him to look at me and only me, forever.'
