Confession of love

Ashlyn's POV

She did return and I was giving a one-of-a-kind treatment. My nails were attended to and were perfectly manicured with a lacquer cobalt blue nail polish and so were my feet.

I had even experienced how it was to be treated in a spa. The cucumbers placed on my eyes and the facial cream mask I had to wear.

My hair was straightened behind my back and the tips were curled up and when it was evening, I was slipped into the sleeveless dress.

The diamond necklace placed around my neck sparkled alongside the draping earrings in my ear holes.

The wristlet too fitted my hand and staring at the mirror, I was lost for words. Catriona had performed magic on my face. My eyebrows were highlighted and arched. On my lips was a cherry red lipstick and everything blended so well with my complexion.

I slipped into the heels and Catriona latched the straps around my ankles. I picked up the bottle of perfume and sprayed it behind my ears, on each side of my neck, and finally on each of my wrists.

I stood up from the chair and accessed myself in the mirror. Without the tight corset, I had a perfect shape and it was visible in the dress.

"If beauty was a person milady, it would be you," Catriona said making me blush.

"The Laird shall fall ten times on his feet tonight!" Roselia exclaimed.

I was blushing in embarrassment. Their appraisals made heat rise to my cheeks.

"You both made this happen," I said to them.

"What's a dress without a pretty face, milady? Nothing!" Catriona exclaimed.

I chuckled.

"Come, milady, we shall be your escort to the royal carriage," Roselia said taking my hand in hers and leading me down the stairs.

The surprise and shock Sia, Juliette, and Meredith had on their faces was something I would never have wanted to miss. Who's in charge now hm? Who's the favorite? Who was picked out of the rest? Me. I smirked as I walked past them.

We walked out of the house and I found Ripper, Kill, Rage, and Stealth standing outside and at the side of the carriage with their jaws dropped.

"I do not believe the Laird would like you staring at his lady in such a manner." Roselia reprimanded them.

"Forgive us Roselia but we cannot afford not to notice the creation of the moon goddess," Stealth said and they all agreed with him.

"Where are we going?" I asked, my curiosity getting the better part of me. And where was Lucifer? I have not laid my eyes on him since he left this morning.

"Patience milady, you shall find out soon," Ripper said.

"We are your escorts to the destination the supreme Laird of all creatures has asked us to bring you too." Kill said with pride.

"We're at your service, milady." Rage said smiling as he bowed his head and they did the same too.

I heaved suddenly feeling tensed.

"Shall we?" Ripper asked as he extended his hand and I placed mine on him as he took me away from Roselia and helped me into the carriage.

"Have a delightful evening my dear," Roselia said with so much enthusiasm and I smiled at her. Kill, Rage, Stealth, and Ripper mounted on horses and signaled for the coach to move.

Slowly the wheels of the carriage began to roll and we were moving on the rocky pathway.

I thought about so many things and they all had to do with Lucifer. Was he taking me out on a date? If not that, what was all the special treatment for?

The carriage curtains were dropped. I was not allowed to take a peek or have the slightest knowledge of where I was being taken. What if I'm taken away for sacrifice? To be slaughtered? I shook my head at the stupid thought. Lucifer could not do that. I trusted him completely.

I was very sure it took an hour to get to where I was being taken to. The carriage stopped and the curtains opened.

"We're here," Stealth said smiling as he stretched forth his hand I placed mine on it and he helped me down the carriage.

To me, we were practically in the middle of nowhere. Great, I'm like a buttered-up lamb for sacrifice.

They all came down from their horses and led me into the woods and stopped.

"Just keep walking down and you shall see what you seek." Kill said. What did I seek? I wondered.

"This is our stop," Ripper said and I nodded.

Nervously I walked down. Good Lord, it was hell walking in heels in the woods but I bore the pain for whatever I sought. What I would find there would be worth these pains.

The rough path I just walked through suddenly had a clear opening as I pushed aside a thorn of long branches and my eyes were immediately blinded by the sight before me.

I gasped at the radiant light in here. By my left was a waterfall and around this waterfall were green plants and flowers and rocks. On my right side was a cabin. I gasped as I heard the tweeting of birds. The Mockingjay, the bluejay, and the hyacinth macaw all flew around before nestling back in tree branches. It felt like Eden revisited.

Just then I saw Lucifer coming from behind the waterfall dressed too in a royal blue tuxedo and he looked.. what was the word?? I could not place my fingers on it.

He was.. irresistible. His hair fell behind his back and smoothened down.

When he smiled, I lost my head. How could one person be this hot?

Lucifer's POV

The moment I laid eyes on her and in that dress, I was breathless. I was weak to my knees and it took sheer willpower not to break under her intense gaze. I advanced towards her with a smile as I fought for control. I was under her spell and this time I wanted to be. I wanted to be wrapped around her fingers.

I walked closer to her and took her hand in mine and placed a kiss on it.

"You're more than my perverted mind had imagined," I said to her and she chuckled. I had visualized her a thousand times but I did not expect her to be this perfect. "You're the goddess of beauty herself," I said to her in utmost sincerity.

"Flattering would get you everywhere I assure you, Lucifer." She said to me with a smile.

I returned her smile as I let go of her hand and went over to the disc player a song came up and I advanced towards her and took a bow. "Shall I have a dance with you, milady?" I asked her extending my hand and she placed her slim and beautiful hand on mine.

"Yes, we shall." She said and I straightened up as I held her waist and her hands were on my shoulders as we danced to the song playing. Matching the tempo of each beat, we danced like long-awaited lovers under the light of the twinkling stars.

I moved a bit from her spinning her around and hell, she spun on those heels like she was born with them.

I turned her around once more and she fell into my already awaiting arms. I gazed into her eyes and I knew this was exactly what I wanted. It was now or never.

I lifted her and she straightened up with her eyes full of questions and happiness and excitement.

"I'm in love with you Ashlyn Ambrosia. I love you with my every being. I love you to the very core of my soul." I said to her feeling every bit of what I was saying in my heart. I was in love with her and there was not going to be any denial about it.

Ashlyn's POV

I was shocked beyond words when these very words I'd been waiting to hear were finally out and now that I've heard them, I could barely think.

"Lucifer," I managed to muster.

"I'm not denying it any longer. I'm not afraid of the pain that comes with it anymore. As long as I have you by my side, everything is worth living for." He said with so much emotion and sincerity in his voice that my heart clenched.

"You're everything good in my life Ashlyn. When I get hot like fire, you rainwater on me quenching every hurt and anger even if you sometimes ignite it," he said and I laughed a little as tears welled up in my eyes.

"I honestly do not deserve a good soul like you, pure and innocent, untouched by the world and spoiled by my callous hands," he said and I placed my hand on his lips to stop him from going any further.

I hugged him tightly to myself. "You're someone I would never have imagined having. Too rare to find. I love you a lot Lucifer Saunron." I said to him and the tears fell down my face. Tears of happiness. It felt like I was in one of those fairytale stories right now.

He held me close to him. "You're an angel sent to me from heaven. I hope I can one day deserve what you've given me." He said to me.

"Oh, Lucifer," I was unable to contain my tears anymore as they kept flowing freely.

"I love you so much it hurts." He confessed as I pulled up to look at him. He wiped away my tears. "I never want to see you cry Ash," he said to me.

"Do not worry, it's tears of joy," I said chuckling and he smiled. The next thing, he went on one knee extracting a velvet box from his pocket. He opened it and there was a solitaire ring in it. "Will you be mine forever?" He asked and I gasped tears falling again.

I stretched my left hand to him and he slipped the ring onto my middle finger.

"I do not need a ring to become your Lucifer. I've been yours from the beginning." I said to him and he chuckled as he rose to his feet and pulled me into a kiss. "I know that," he said pulling away. "I just wanted to make it official." He said to me and kissed me deeply.

He kissed me so deeply with love that it stirred a feeling inside of me.

"Hungry?" He asked me huskily.

"Food or you?" I asked him and he grinned.

"Which do you prefer?" He asked me.

"You." I wasted no time in saying it.

"As the Lady wishes." He said and lifted me into his arms walking towards the cabin.

He kicked the door with his leg and it gave way. Inside the cabin were a bed, a fireplace, and a table with different variety of dishes.

He placed me on the bed. "Swears imma rip this fucking dress off your body." He whispered in my ears and it tingled my senses.

"No, no, I'll take it off myself," I said to him. I just got to wear it once and now he wants to rip it off. He chuckled as he took off his jacket and every other thing followed.

I stood up from the bed and slipped out of the dress. He turned me around and my back pressed to his slowly hardening shaft. I gasped and he tenderly took off my necklace placing kisses on my neck as he did so. He took off my earrings too placing lingering kisses on my earlobes and hell, it was driving me crazy. He took off my bangles and placed kisses there too. These little things were making me go mad with desires.

Lucifer's POV

In and out of dresses, she was a beauty. I could watch her undress before me forever. Each step she took to slip out of the dress was a delightful teasing.

"If we have babies, they'll have your eyes," I said to her as I gazed into her passionate eyes.

She chuckled. "Shall we start making them?" She asked me.

I kissed her neck. "Are you gamed?" I asked her and the moan that escaped her lips was a sign of her yes.

I scooped her in my arms and placed her on the bed as she waited in anticipation for me to join her. I went over to the table and picked up one of the chocolate sundaes and went over to her.

She eyed me. "What do you intend to do with that?" She asked me.

I grinned devilishly. "Finna takes you to a new journey of lovemaking my petite," I said to her as I smeared her body with the chocolate. Keeping the bowl aside, I teased her lips with the chocolate and she licked my fingers.

"It's wonderful." She said with a voice filled with passion. I chuckled as I placed my lips on hers, kissing her and trailing down her body.

Every bit of chocolate, I licked off her body as she moaned in pleasure. My mouth suckled on a thrusting globe smeared with chocolate and she buried her fingers in my hair moaning with desire.

I tasted the rawness of her lips. I felt the thunderous beatings of her heart.

I thrust into her and groaned. Each day was always like the first aside from her constant fits back then. It was after every passionate moment, her vulva tightens back just as before.

She clung to me, rocking with me. Matching my every rhythm as she arches her waist.

She loved the insatiable hunger of the vampire. Bloodthirsty lust dripped from her savage bones. She loved to be devoured like the dark of the sky, in the moon-drenched night. She was craving every part of my raw and wild soul and I was craving hers.

"Lucifer," she sobbed my name for the first time in the heat of passion and it intoxicated me, driving me crazy as I pummeled harder into her.

I lowered my body towards her as I felt the pleasure taking over and Steel came out with my consent and bit her neck.

"Mine." We growled and almost immediately, I felt a weight being lifted off my shoulders. I no longer felt burdened and I felt lightness inside of me as we both reached our peak and climaxed together, I knew this was it. It was sealed. I did not know if I was free from my curse but what I knew was that Ash and I were now bound together and there was no going back.
