Chapter 37 - First Dance

Sera and Lucifer were clinging onto each other looking disheveled, staring intensely Lucifer embraced Sera trying to melt her in his arms. Sera could hear his erratic heartbeat, She smiled softly closing her eyes.

Lucifer was caressing her bare back with his calloused fingers, his hot breath landing on her back. Sera could feel herself losing it again. She clutched his waist tightly.

Lucifer pulled away and stroked her flushed cheeks when suddenly the music stopped and the lights were switched on.

A flustered Sera pushed Lucifer away and ran away from him. Lucifer laughed softly at her reaction and watched her back getting away until she was out of his sight.

He ran his fingers through his hair and smiled remembering her touch.

Lucifer's smile cracked, a cold expression on his face when he saw the direction where Sera ran.

Flustered followed after her, upon reaching the garden he saw her standing near a tree.

Sera had her eyes closed, face covered with her palms she was breathing heavily probably embarrassed of her actions earlier.

Lucifer's cold expression turned into a gentle one. He walked towards her and held her shoulders gently when she uncovered her face. He gently turned her around to face him, cupped her face and spoke softly,

"Where do you think you're running, Milady?"

"I.. Umm", without giving her a chance to speak Lucifer embrace her.

Sera sighed in content and held his waist tightly, She couldn't explain the feeling he gave her. She always felt extremely safe with him around. Unknowingly she had started to trust him more than herself.

Sera pulled back and stared into his eyes, she stretched her hand to pull his mask away when a sudden loud bang was heard.

Lucifer instantly pulled her behind the tree and took out a gun, Seeing him like this she remembered their first meeting. Sera's heart ached seeing him like, fighting for his life.

Sera tightly held onto his arm afraid to let go, he glanced at her scared face and his heart broke. Lucifer took a deep breath and patted her head softly reassuringly. She looked at him and he nodded at her.

After the commotion they came out, Sera was standing in Lucifer's place now. She looked distressed, Lucifer couldn't find words to explain anything to her.

Lucifer contemplating on what to say when Sera suddenly pushed him and they rolled on the ground. The force was too abrupt for Lucifer to react, he directly fell to the ground.

Sera had used all her strength to push Lucifer. She looked very frail but her strength was quite a surprise to Lucifer. The while situation had caused his mask to fall off his face giving Sera a full view of his handsome face.

Mesmerized Sera looked in a trance looking at him, she raised her hand to touch his face when he held her hand, bringing close to his mouth.

Just when Sera thought he would kiss her palm, Lucifer smirked and bit her finger making her gasp in pain.

Seeing Sera's angry face Lucifer laughed, she looked like a kitten.

"Why did you push me? Milady", Lucifer spoke to distract her.

"I.. I saw a red light flickering on your shoulder I thought it was a sniper so I was scared and pushed y...", before she could finish Lucifer had pulled her back into his embrace and crashed his cold lips onto hers.

This time Lucifer's kiss was hungry and passionate unlike his other kisses, Sera hit his chest lightly to let her breathe.

"You saved me again milady.. How did you like my reward?", Lucifer smiled wickedly.

The Lu's were looking for Sera, they had last seen their daughter dancing with a stranger. While Su Yin was at the desert bar. They wanted to wait for her but seeing her nowhere in sight they called Sera's cellphone, only to find it unreachable.

Ethan left Adrian with the man and went back in only to find Sera missing, the first dance had ended.

Ethan sighed, "I missed the first dance with her"

"I'll definitely get another chance to dance with her", Ethan was confident and smiled.

Thinking back to Sera's flushed face Ethan smiled, he couldn't understand how she could dominate his thoughts just after a couple of meetings.

Ethan wanted to go look for her when he heard a gunshot from the inconspicuous device in his ear. He knew what it was.

Ethan left for the monitor room and saw the man with Adrian was shot dead. Adrian had pulled his gun and shot the snipers, Ethan sighed in relief. Looks like their plan had really worked.

Did their plan really succeed? Or was it all planned to deceive Lucifer?!
