Sleep

Lucifer Knight

Knight Office Building Penthouse

New York

Allowing my mind to wonder to still, to find the ever present link between the Angel of Death and I. The bond forged in blood in the ever present darkness of the pit.

The line was dark which meant he was far away or distracted. I bet distracted, he wouldn't go to far with Heaven's host on our asses. Letting my mind brush right up against his I slam open the doors to his mind.

At first it was unclear, similar to a mortals eyes that have to adjust to the darkness. Blurry images, a table, broken wine glass, bright red hair.

And then I was seeing through  his eyes. In an office building, pressed up against a work station. Death had a mortal woman face down on a desk, her dress thrown over her back and her shapely ass exposed for all to see. Damn it! That's not something I wanted to see.

"Hey, Luci come to watch?" He smirked stilling and staring out at the Seattle skyline.

"Death! Get your ass over here we need to talk!" I yell at him. The mortal woman moan in displeasure.

"Well as you can see I'm kinda in the middle of something, you mind checking in... well later!" I could her the smirk in his voice.

"No! Get your ass over here now!" Death rolled his eyes. "Fine give me 10 minutes." With that said he completely disconnected the link completely.

Bastard!

Sucking in a breath of cold New York air. There's so much shit going on I barely have a moment to think. Then again maybe I just need some peace and quite. Perhaps I should sleep.

Who am I fucking kidding I haven't slept since Sophia and I stopped seeing each other. Sophia. I should probably go check on her before Death gets here.

I knock lightly on the door, I wait for her. It didn't take more then a second.

"Lucifer, Hi." She was a vision dressed all in white. Thin cotton camisole and white cotton shorts. "Lucifer? Did you need something?" She asks towel drying her hair. I couldn't take my eyes off her. The way Sophia Anderson said my name should be a sin, I would enjoy punishing her for. A breathless whisper, Lucifer.

My pants suddenly felt very constricting, I clench my fist. Why is she wearing something like that? I have several male servants in this penthouse anyone of them could happen upon her while she's dressed like this.

I frown, she's mine and no man, demon or angel would touch her and I'd make damn sure of that.  Ha, if only we were still together. But we're not and she was free to do whatever and whoever she pleases. Fuck that! With Gabriel around she's not safe. I may not yet know what Gabriel. No what Michael wants with her but I know I have to keep her safe. 

"Lucifer?" Sophia's soft voice snapped me out of my thoughts. She was standing right in front of me now, her towel discarded. "I was lost in thought." I say tucking her hair behind her ear. She unconsciously leans into my hand, guess I still have an effect on her.

"And no, I don't need anything, I just came to check on you." She smiles and all the tension of today leave my body and suddenly I feel very tired. Those baby blue almost grey eyes turn sharp. Sophia was very quick to pick up on her surroundings. It's what made her such a good lawyer and it's also what ended our relationship. She's so good and seeing through the bullshit that even I the great deceiver could not lie to her. She started asking questions I couldn't answer and by then I'd cared to much to lie to her anymore.

Well that thought soured the mood.

"Come." She says taking my hand and leading me towards the bed.

Well this is an interesting development. She doesn't speak after that, not that there was an awful lot to say. We weren't the sort of people who had to say everything out loud after all there are so many other ways to communicate. And right now her touch was the only form of speech I wanted.

Sophia slipped her hands into the folds of my blazer I could feel the heat of her hands through my white shirt. What are you doing Sophia?

he slowly pushed the highly over priced material off my shoulders and carelessly tossed it on the armchair behind her.

Well, I'm differently starting to like where this is going.

My tie went next then she unlinked my cuff links all in slow delicate movements. I stood perfectly still, allowing her to undressed me. My mind had finally calmed, I had found it in this moment that little bit of peace I'd been searching for.

"Sophia." I whispered as she tossed away my shirt.

Her pale blue eyes spoke a thousands words, she was still worried about what happened at her apartment. Still confused as to why it happened in the first place. But she need not worry about that anymore. I would keep her safe, always!

I don't know why I'd come to care for this particular human but she had wormed her way so far under my skin that I just couldn't seem to work up the strength to rid myself of her.

She really shouldn't be doing this though, she was far to close and the desire to toss her on the bed and have my wicked way with her was much too strong. But that didn't seem to be the case here, Sophia's touch had no desire behind it, her touch was more like concern and, something else. Something I couldn't quite feel. Something I was entirely unfamiliar with.

Then again I had always found Sophia Anderson difficult to read.

She gestured for me to sit, I did. Sophia then removed my shoes and socks, before standing me up right again. She's beautiful even in the dim light of the bedside lamp, I could stare at her all day if it were possible. Long brown hair with natural golden high lights, soft smooth skin pale baby blue eyes and soft feminine features and her body was every man's dream.

Sophia got to work on my pants. I found myself smirking at her as she blushed. "Like what you see, Miss Anderson?" It was amazing how under control my body was.

Usually one touch from Sophia and I was hard as a rock. But this wasn't sexual at all. With a small smile playing on her soft rosy lips she stepped around me and move the covers to the side.

"Get in!" She ordered. I think Sophia is the only woman in the world who has the balls to order me around.

"If I get into that bed, what would happen?" I rise my brow suggestively. Shaking her head she says, "This isn't what you think."

"Then what is it?" I question.

"Why don't you just get in, and found out?" She's challenging me. Minx. I scoff deciding to play along, I mean she went as far as to undressed me.

Once I was comfortably in bed with my arms folded smirking at Miss Anderson. She does something that is very much along the lines of what I was thinking.

Climbed on to the bed then top of me, straddling my waist. Well I'll be damn! Which I am!

But still this is quite the development. I was even more surprised when she leaned forward, her damp hair falling around us like a curtain, she ever so gently brushed her lips against mine. I was getting harder by the minute. It would be so easy for me to rip those tiny little shorts off and fuck her til we both can't think anymore. Yes, so easy!

Flexing my hips, pushing my hardening member into her soft flesh. She moans in response. Mm, now that's a sound I've come to love.

Her baby blue eyes stare into mine as she reaches on the night stand for something. The lights go out! Sophia moves so that she's laying besides me.

"Goodnight Lucifer!" She says grabbing my arm and holding it to her chest which forced me to turn on my side. Shit, she got me!

"Sophia, let go I have a meeting soon!" I was the one who called Death back here and look at me now. Then again I didn't do anything to stop her.

"You didn't seem all that concerned with your meeting a minute ago." Her tone told me she was done talking now. Damn it, I hate it when she does this, reads me like a book. She could see it the fact that I was tired mentally that is. I don't even get tired physically other thing Miss Anderson here is all to familiar with.

Guess I'll just wait until she falls asleep, then go to my meeting. Yeah right, like I'd get up to go see that idiot.

A sudden movement woke me, lazily opening my eyes to see Sophia running into the bathroom and slamming the door behind her.
