Chapter Fourteen

Lucifer could usually fall sleep instantly the moment his head hit the pillow, but for the second night in a row he was still awake an hour after they’d gone to bed. Stefan was curled in against him, again, usually enough for Lucifer to feel relaxed at any time. His sweet mate was snoring softly, only his hands twitching to show he was busy dreaming something.

Stefan’s anchor marks were glowing – they were a bit like a night light. Lucifer allowed himself to be momentarily fascinated by the way they didn’t glow evenly. It was as if the magic powering them flowed through Stefan’s body in waves, which was as incredible as the man himself. Not enough of a rhythmic pattern to help Lucifer sleep, however.

I’m fed, I’m warm, I’m comfortable. I even had an orgasm for fuck’s sake. I don’t need to pee... Lucifer had the urge to wiggle, but he didn’t want to disturb Stefan. The thing was, Stefan’s casual comment about their problems not being because of the Brethren was causing him issues. Commonsense indicated Stefan was right, but if he was right, then how much more of Lucifer’s life had been a lie before Stefan came along?

Lucifer was used to being hated. He could say, without bragging, he was one of the finest wielders of the magic sword there was – anywhere. He and Darwin had spent years honing their skills and catching bad guys, and even while Darwin enjoyed his life with Monty now, Lucifer hadn’t lost his drive or skills. He accepted being hated by the people he apprehended as part of his job. But he’d never been specifically targeted by any individual person or group.

And then there was the other angle – the people targeting him were people he had considered friends. In fact, if he was honest, he thought the likes of Abdullah and Ben were good friends of his in that they were people he’d counted on more than once in the past, and he’d always gone out of his way to help them. But now Abdullah was dead after getting involved in Technic’s plans and Ben was behaving like a snob which he knew Lucifer didn’t agree with…

Fuck. Who needs enemies when you’ve got friends like mine. Technic was by far the worst of the bunch, and the first to go completely rogue. But shit, if Lucifer was paranoid at all he’d seriously think it was being around him that was causing people to go crazy.

The mini rant he’d given Stefan about being a sex object was valid enough in his head. No matter how much Lucifer thought about his interactions with his friends, as opposed to the way he behaved with his hookups, he couldn’t understand why people he treated as friends thought having sex with him was so important. Sex was just a physical act, and in a lot of cases, not one infused with a lot of emotion.

It could be. Lucifer made sure he never touched
