Chapter 32

Lucifer and Lazarus spent the better part of four hours talking into the night. It was hard to understand some of what the All-Knowing Angel talked about because so much of life was still foreign to Lucifer. Being locked in a cage for most of his existence hadn’t given him a lot of experience with anything. While he questioned Lazarus as much as possible and tried to sift through the crazy talk to find the answers he wanted, Lucifer silently worried about Eve. She hadn’t returned yet. Lazarus insisted she was fine – and who was Luce to question the Know-it-All, but when the moon was high in the sky, Lucifer set out to hunt her down.

If she needed space and privacy, she could have it in the cottage. He didn’t need to be cooped up in another cage – even one as comfortable as the tiny home in the middle of what looked like a paradise. Knowing Eve was alone in this foreign land didn’t sit well with his protective side, which meant it was time he found her and brought her home.

He tracked her down easily enough. All Luce had to do was follow the scent of the prettiest flowers in the universe and there she was.

Eve’s hair looked much darker in the night. The moonlight cast shadows over her curves and the view made Lucifer’s mouth water.

If she noticed him approaching, she didn’t act like it. Instead, her head was bent down as she held something in her arms. Her voice was soft and melodious as she cooed at whatever it was. Lucifer approached her cautiously – not because he didn’t want to spook her. Fuck, he didn’t think anything in the woods could actually scare Eve at this point. She seemed so in tune with nature and all its creatures. Including Lucifer at times.

No, he approached slowly because he didn’t want to scare whatever she was holding. From this distance, he had no way of knowing what it was or if it had claws and teeth. One wrong move on his part, and Eve would be the one to pay the price.

“Come to enjoy the evening star, Lucifer?” Her voice was gruff, like she’d exhausted her throat somehow.

“I was worried about you.” Shit, he felt like he was intruding. “It’s dark.”

“So?”

“So… I was worried. This is a strange place. We don’t know if there are dangers here or not yet.”

Eve kept her back to him and continued petting whatever she had cradled in her arms. “I’m sure you asked Lazarus about that the moment I left your sight.”

Yeah, he had. Still didn’t mean Lazarus was right about saying they were safe here. Safe was a relative term. Lucifer was safe in his cage… sometimes. Lucifer was safe out of his cage… sometimes.

With her wings at half-mast, Lucifer got a good look at the markings on her back. A curse, scar, burn… whatever it was, it looked…

Fuck, it looked beautiful.

And what did that say about him? He wanted to be angry that someone did that to her skin.
