Chapter 1039 This is me Part 15
TOH
Lucifer must have seen his expression since he added. "Only if she wishes. I shall not force myself on her."
Toh sighed. "I see, I suppose that's good. But, considering how you lied to her about being her husband and touched her despite knowing you two aren't in a relationship. It's hard to trust you."
Lucifer paused but nodded. "I understand. I shouldn't have allowed it to go that far. But, having her to myself after two centuries being apart? I couldn't control myself, especially when she started to warm up to me."
Toh wanted to refute Lucifer's words badly. But, he knew he couldn't. After all, wasn't it the same for him? The circumstances are very different but it's the same. He considered himself to be very lucky to return to Japan when Terashima was abroad. During the first month Sumire started to live with him. Toh had to control his urges to jump on her. It was difficult, especially when he noticed how comforted Sumire felt whenever he so much as held her hand.
'I can't expect others to have the same level as control as me. Moreover, the length of time apart is significantly different. Two centuries is long. I, was only away from Sumire for two years.'
Toh frowned. "You did this to her, fix it."
"It's not that simple. We're married now, under the laws of our people. She will never be satisfied drinking from another."
"I knew I should have taken her from you--" Toh shakes his head.
If he knew Sumire would become reliant on Lucifer, he would have found another way.
"and let those pests roam free?" Lucifer argued.
Toh frowned knowing he couldn't dismiss those words.
"I'll slip my blood into the medication Nagawa gives her. But, eventually she will need to feed from me directly."
"She doesn't want you to leave." Toh trailed off and sighed. "Stay the night, but be gone in the morning."
Besides he wants to observe the two of them a bit more. Although he frequently visited the manor in F region, Toh could only observe them briefly. He doesn't know how the two interact in their private quarters.
Lucifer chuckled. "Very well." Lucifer positioned himself on the bed.
He kept feeding her drops of his blood and despite being unconscious, Sumire seemed to respond.
"You're not angry anymore?" Toh wondered.
"Oh, I'm livid. Furious at this woman."
"But you came."
"Of course I will, I will always come for her if she needs me." Lucifer said, like it was the most natural thing in the world.
Maybe it is, for him. But not just anyone would drop everything for the sake of the woman they love. There are many who say they will do everything for the sake of the woman they love. But, they only say it. Their actions always say so otherwise.
Sumire woke up with bloodshot eyes. Her eyes looked redder than earlier. Before Toh could ask her what was wrong. She looks at Lucifer and then lunges for him.
"What's happening to--" Toh didn't get a chance to finish his sentence since Sumire bit Lucifer's neck harshly.
"Like I said, she needs to feed. She's been suppressed far too long." Lucifer caresses Sumire's hair. "Ssh, that's it love, keep drinking."
"Lucifer."
"I'm here."
"You're angry at me."
Lucifer chuckled. "More than you know."
"I'm sorry." Sumire whispered.
"I know you are."
Toh watched this exchange silently. Lucifer isn't saying that he forgives her. There is no doubt that Lucifer is still angry, but he is still here, he came because Sumire needed him. His head was spinning with all this new information. It's true he noticed Lucifer's behaviour towards Sumire was odd. But, he didn't think too much of it.
Sumire suddenly tilted her head and looked at him, intently.
Lucifer chuckled. "Get closer, she wants you near."
Toh didn't know what possessed him to get closer but he did. The moment he got close. Sumire lunged for his neck and was drinking his blood. He winced in surprise.
"Beautiful-"
"Let her." Lucifer kneeled down as he started to drink blood from Sumire's knee.
This situation reminds him of something that happened not too long ago. If Sumire is comfortable with this, then he doesn't mind. After a few minutes however, Toh noticed how warm she was. So, he raised her shirt slightly.
Lucifer grunted. "Leave it like that, I'm already worked up."
Toh nodded. He knew if the atmosphere got even warmer, something bad would happen. Right now, Sumire isn't acting like herself. When she snaps out of it, she will have regrets.
Just as he thought that, the sound of Lucifer's phone broke the lustful atmosphere. Lucifer tried to ignore it but the sound grew louder causing him to bite Sumire harshly. She cried out and Toh glared at him.
Lucifer mumbled an apology as he stood up. "Allow me to take this call my heart."
Sumire weakly nodded her head. Toh could tell how worn out she was. Her face was no longer a sickeningly pale colour like before. No, instead. Her hair was messy, and her clothes were rumpled, cheeks flushed. She had the face of a woman who just finished being pleasured.
Toh waited until Lucifer went, and turned to Sumire. The girl was looking at him embarrassed. "Err, that wasn't supposed to happen."
Toh chuckled. "I know."
"No, no! You really have no idea. Drinking Lucifer's blood does that to me. It makes me feel warm and-"
"Horny?" Toh finished.
Sumire's cheeks reddened and he laughed. "You don't have to explain beautiful."
After all he has seen with his own eyes what happens to the women Lucifer feeds from. Sumire must have understood since her gaze dimmed and she was clenching her fists tightly. Toh placed his hand on top of hers.
"It's okay."
Sumire's gaze softened."Yes, it is." She agreed. Sumire was tugging the material around her body. Lucifers cloak. Toh didn't even realize when he put it on her.
"He's really angry." Sumire mumbled.
"Yes." Toh agreed.
Sumire bit her lip. "I don't think..I can see him as an enemy anymore. At least not like before."
".."
"That's a problem isn't it?"
"It is." Toh wasn't going to hide that from her.
After all, with the situation in the underworld, others will expect Sumire to take a more central role. If she can't see Lucifer as her enemy anymore, it will lead to further complications.
Lucifer returns and leaned down to whisper in Sumire's ear.
She bit her lip but nodded. "Okay."
"I shall see you then my heart." Lucifer placed a gentle kiss on Sumire's forehead before vanishing in a smoke of black shadows.
The moment Lucifer disappeared, he turned to Sumire with a frown. "Did you just agree to--"
"He must have told you
"Sumire you can't--"
"I know. I do..I just, I can't be like this now. There is a lot going on in the underworld."
Indeed, with the underworld being a mess. Sumire will be targeted more often. Rather after the previous two attacks. There are all sorts of rumors about her right now.
