Chapter Twenty

Stefan fully expected Lucifer to dash back to the house, grab more clothes and head straight for the airport. But his mate surprised him, doing nothing like that at all. They did go back to the house, after Lucifer had sat and fumed for a good ten minutes, but they entered through a well-appointed kitchen this time, with Lucifer giving orders to an efficient looking staff for a meal to be served in an hour. Then, without saying anything else, he led Stefan up the servant stairs, and into a huge room that could only be Lucifer’s.

The first thing that struck Stefan was the sight of his carpet bag and hat looking out of place, sitting on the bed that could easily sleep six. “I asked the staff to bring that up for you earlier,” Lucifer said, crossing the room and disappearing through another door. “I’ll empty some drawers for you later. Did you want a shower?” The sound of running water muffled anything else Lucifer might have said.

“I guess so,” Stefan said, more to himself than to his mate. He was still taking in the giant room. It was light, something Stefan appreciated, with huge windows that dominated the far wall. There were no curtains, but Stefan noticed a faint shimmer on the glass and guessed they were magically treated to keep anyone from peering in.

Then there were the books – hundreds of them, lining floor to ceiling shelves that surrounded the headboard. On the opposing wall displayed like artworks were weapons of all kinds, some of which Stefan could see were really old. He wandered over, tilting his head, first one side and then the other, taking in the swords, torture devices, and a particular nasty looking axe that looked as if it’d been forged in the middle ages.

On top of the dressers - there were two - all Stefan could see was a large hairbrush and a few strips of leather he assumed Lucifer used to tie back his hair. There were also more books, these ones more worn than the ones on the shelves. Keen to see what his mate read in his spare time, Stefan picked up the top book which turned out to be a copy of the Magical Treatise, one of the texts that were used when magic was taught in schools – a very long time ago. Opening a page at random, Stefan found himself confronted with a picture of a demon. The pencil drawing was remarkable in its details. Stefan could almost imagine the stench such a creature would emit as he snarled and sprayed his acidic spit on any who confronted him. The text underneath the picture was tiny and Stefan had to bring the book up closer to his face to read it. Facing demons is not a mission for the fainthearted… Stefan snorted. He’d only faced two in his life, and yep, the text was right.

“Are you coming in?” Lucifer sauntered back into the room and Stefan’s eyes widened.
