Lucifer laughed out loud hearing Eva's threat, not taking it seriously in the slightest. "Haha, I would like to see you try! Just remember that I'll retaliate harder in response, my dear cousin."
Eva let out a gasp of outrage, knowing full well how devious Lucifer's little games could be sometimes, and she didn't want to risk suffering the consequences if she decided to go through with her threat.
So with an exaggerated groan, she exclaimed in defeat, "Alright! You win this time! I missed you dearly, my favorite cousin in the whole wide world! Are you happy now?!"
"Of course. Good girl," Lucifer nodded as he placed her back onto the ground with a satisfied grin on his face before giving her a quick but affectionate kiss on the cheek, almost nearing the edge of her lips.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
All of his actions surprised everyone, but no one had anything to say about it except James, who was standing right there beside them.
"Hey, Lucifer... Could you refrain from touching my girlfriend like that? I'm sure it's not appropriate for cousins to do that kind of thing... And as her boyfriend, I don't want anyone putting his hands on her like that, even if you're related to her," James said, trying his best to stay composed in the face of such a display.
"Oh? But what is the problem? I'm just having some harmless fun," Lucifer replied with a curious look at his cousin's boyfriend, his words carrying a slight hint of mockery hidden beneath the surface, which only served to fuel James' annoyance further.

"Harmless? There is nothing harmless in that kind of contact!" James protested firmly as he stared into Lucifer's eyes. He didn't back down from his stance despite Lucifer towering over him with his muscular figure. "So please, respect her boundaries next time."
Lucifer raised an eyebrow at this unexpected response from Eva's boyfriend. Then he smirked and chuckled as he said to him, "Wow, you're saying that to me? Respect her boundaries... Hahaha... How can you say those things when she herself didn't say anything? Think about it... Maybe the real issue here isn't what you claim, but it's that YOU feel uncomfortable seeing Eva having fun with me."
James looked at Eva, expecting his girlfriend to speak up against Lucifer's nonsense accusations at any moment, yet the young woman remained silent, avoiding looking into his eyes altogether, something that puzzled him.
Feeling like he had made himself look like a fool, James sighed and let the matter drop, not wanting to appear jealous or petty in front of everyone. "Whatever... Just remember what I told you."
At that moment, Eva felt goosebumps running along her skin, accompanied by the sudden tightening of her pussy from within. She didn't understand what was happening to herself, only feeling a strange sensation building inside of her body and spreading outward in all directions. It was as if something was awakened deep within her core just by gazing into his captivating gaze alone.
"Um... I don't have anything against you sleeping with us, Lucifer... We are a family..." Eva finally replied after taking a deep breath to regain control of her emotions and suppress the strange sensations that ran across her body. However, it still took several seconds for her to calm herself enough to speak without stumbling on her own words.
Meanwhile, James was shocked when Layla suggested the idea of having Lucifer share their room together with Eva. It was ridiculous, but he didn't know how to voice his concerns properly without coming off as controlling or possessive toward her.
Instead, he thought Eva would protest about sharing her room with Lucifer. But his hopes were quickly crushed when his girlfriend didn't say anything against that. On the contrary, she agreed to the suggestion, even though it was clearly inappropriate for such an arrangement.
While James stood speechless, unable to utter any words, Jack couldn't accept the outcome either.
"No way! This isn't going to happen!" He exclaimed vehemently at Layla before adding, "There is no chance I will agree to let some outsider crash in on our vacation just like that! It will make everything more awkward and uncomfortable between us, including our stay!"
"Oh my, such strong objections! I guess my brother and I will have to call off our plans and go on our own separate trip since you can't be a reasonable man." Layla said dismissively in response to his complaints. She turned around and motioned with her head at Lucifer to follow her back toward their car. "Come on, Lucifer, let's go somewhere else to spend the weekend instead. I don't feel like dealing with this jerk right now."
However, before Lucifer could move anywhere, Nathan held up his hand in front of him to stop Layla and spoke up with a calm tone in his voice. "Wait a second here! There's no need to leave, Layla! Jack is just afraid that your brother's presence will make the trip seem restrictive or awkward for everyone."
Jack gave Nathan a stern look, but the young man didn't flinch in the slightest and continued talking unabated by his friend's apparent disagreement. "Let's just forget about Jack's concerns for now. I think it will be great if he comes with us, right, Zoe?"
The young woman looked at her boyfriend for a moment and then nodded her head in agreement. "Sure, why not? I don't see any issues with that." She said and shrugged her shoulders as if to emphasize her lack of concern regarding Lucifer joining the trip.
"I agree with Nathan. It won't be a problem at all if he accompanies us." Ethan joined in after Zoe voiced her opinion on the matter. He glanced at Jack and gave him a meaningful glance that spoke volumes about what his friend should do next, leaving him no choice in the matter.
Seeing as the rest of the group had made their decision, and he had no support from them to refuse Layla's request to have her brother join their trip, Jack sighed and gave in to their wishes begrudgingly. "Fine! Whatever. Do as you wish! It's not like I'm trying to be unreasonable about it anyway. I just wanted our trip together to be something enjoyable without anyone feeling restricted or uncomfortable around someone they're unfamiliar with. But it seems everyone else doesn't mind Lucifer joining us, so it's not up to me anymore."
