Chapter 299 - My Morning Kiss

Squinting her beautiful pair of eyes that reflected the love of her life, Sera peered at Lucifer's face in awe.

It was in no way an exaggeration to say that the man was an angel descended from the heavens.

Sera's heart began pounding, her cheeks flushed in excitement as she gawked at Lucifer. He had a warm smile on his enticing lips.

A faint glow from the sunlight emitting through the windows enveloped Lucifer's whole being. The way his fair skin hued golden was a luring sight under the sun.

Clenching the edges of the comforter tightly, Sera's face was tinted pink, her gaze closely followed the silhouette before her.

The soft fabric of the gray colored lounge wear outlined Lucifer's lean frame perfectly while accentuating his barely visible but well-built muscles underneath. His face clean shaved, his hair still wet were unruly, giving his neat appearance a wild streak. His gray irises as always were glittering akin to priceless rough cut diamonds, captivating.

While Sera's keen eyes perused the warmly smiling man, her gaze landed around him and to the cabinet that was sans an antique vase holding a fresh bouquet of red roses.

Instead a cold frame sat on the cabinet. As weird as it sounds, there was no photo inside it.

This.. It's not her room!

At this point, it suddenly struck Sera that this was Lucifer's room and they had dinner together last night, and now she was sleeping on his bed.

But how?

Weren't they stargazing at the rooftop, yesterday?

"Huh? I slept here last night?"

With no memories of how she fell asleep on Lucifer's bed, Sera quizzed, her starry gaze fixed on his face waiting for his answer.

"Uh-huh.. You were tired, so I let you sleep for sometime.."

"But you continued sleeping like a log and I couldn't bear to wake you up.. Get up quickly, the breakfast is ready"

Listening to Lucifer's elucidation of the previous night's episode, Sera's face turned beet red urging the man to laugh out loud. Rather he chose to bite his tongue to keep himself from laughing and prompted her to wash up.

"Oh! Okay.."

Flinging the comforter off her body Sera revealed her shapely legs wrapped in white shorts, her tiny pearl like toenails were painted in a sensuous red color. She skillfully flipped her messy bed hair into a loose bun before stepping down onto the floor.

"Where are you going?"

Raising his brow, Lucifer blocked Sera's way before grabbing her slender wrist firmly.

"Huh? To freshen up.."

With a huge question mark on her forehead, Sera responded. The summery smile on Lucifer's face slowly faded away.

"Aren't you forgetting something?"

Pulling Sera closer into embrace, Lucifer's eyes had a devilish glint as he whispered softly. She simply blinked a couple of times, innocently, before realizing his intentions.

Noticing the change in Sera's eyes, Lucifer slowly inched closer to her small face which was now redder than apples. His smile returned.

"Wha.. What do you want?"

As Lucifer's hot breathe that smelled like fresh mint fell on her cheeks that were fuming hot, Sera started to stammer seemingly at a loss.

"My morning kiss.."

Chuckling, Lucifer enunciated each syllable clearly for Sera to hear, clearly wanting her to embed his words in her mind.

"I haven't brushed.. yet.."

Turning her face away from Lucifer who was glaring at her intensely, Sera's feeble voice reached his ears. His smile deepened resembling a devil's grin.

"It's okay.."

Stroking Sera's plump cheeks with cherry hue with his thumb, Lucifer cajoled her in his honeyed voice, sweet and warming.

"Hmm.. Close your eyes"

Retracting her hand from Lucifer's hold, Sera whispered in a seductive manner while mimicking the action of closing Lucifer's eyes with her hand. The man obliged and readily closed his eyes with anticipation plastered across his handsome face.

Smirking, Sera took a run on her tippy toes and entered the bathroom soundlessly. Her movements extremely light and cautious.

"My love? Sera?"

After an arduous eait of one whole minute, Lucifer was getting impatient. He gently called out Sera's name. It was dead quiet. Not hearing any response from the other side, he opened his eyes only to find the room empty.

"This little kitten.. I'll see how you'll escape from me!"

Shaking his head, Lucifer chuckled mirthfully and strode out of the room.

"Ugh!! Why is Sera not picking up my calls?"

Inside one of Xav and Maya's hidden storage cells, the latter was frowning while staring at the blank screen of her cellphone. Her tone clearly displaying her annoyance.

"Relax.. Sera might be busy, or maybe asleep. She'll contact you after reading your messages"

Flicking the ashes of the cigarette pinched in between his fingers, Xav was casual with his posture as well as his tone.

"Xav! How are you so indifferent about this? Don't you forget we're talking about 'Rose' here, 'The ROSE'.."

Turning around to glare at her brother who was lounging on the couch, carefreely, Maya shrieked. With her hands on her waist she stressed her words animatedly.

"I know.. That's why I'm so chilled out, it's 'ROSE' and nothing could stop Sera from attending this auction. So just relax!"

Taking a drag, Xav raised his brow at Maya's statements, he then nodded his head before expounding. His expression unchanged.

"Whatever! I'm going out for a breather.."

Kicking Xav's legs that were stretched out on the floor, Maya left in a huff. He clicked his tongue disapprovingly before taking another drag and turned on the television set in the room.
