"Who the fuck are you?"He whispered dangerously, coming close to my face and looking straight into my eyes. His fingers curled tightly around my throat, blocking my air pipe.

I screeched and gasped while scratching his hands and trying to pry them off. The betrayal in his eyes had me confused and scared of his next move. I kicked him with my legs as I tried to form a sentence without succeeding.

Mind link Eliana...Kara sighed annoyed and I mentally facepalmed for forgetting it.

Lucifer, what are you doing?! It's me, Eliana.

He growled and pulled me closer to him, only to smash my body against the wall for the second time.

"Eliana is human" He snapped venomously at me and tightened his grip."Who. The. Fuck. Are. You?" He repeated very slowly, his anger building up. My vision started to blur, and I knew that I would fall unconscious in seconds in my current condition.

Oh, shit I forgot about that.

Lucifer, please! It's me, your mate! Let me expla...

I felt my eyes roll back and my body spasm against the wall like a fish out of water, as everything went black once again.

A second later I felt fresh air being punched into my lungs as I inhaled deeply. I opened my eyes as Lucifer removed his hand from my neck and held my limp body up by pushing his against mine, trapping me in the wall.

"Who are you? A shapeshifter? Where is Eliana?" I felt sharp nails digging in my cheeks and jaw as Lucifer gripped me tightly and raised my head to look at him. With half-opened eyelids, I looked into his eyes, only to notice that his irises were shallowed by darkness.

I tried to speak up but failed as I coughed and winced at the sore feeling in my throat.

Lucifer... I'm Eliana. Can't you feel the bond? I'm just different now...

I said to him via our mind link because I was unable to speak up, as I brought my hand against his hand that was on my jaw. I pushed my fingers underneath his palm and pressed down on his mark. He breathed in deeply and removed his hand from my jaw, his claws retreating and his eyes shining bright red again.

"What the fuck is this? Why are your eyes orange? What is this dark aura around you?" He said frustrated as he palmed my neck, the bright light suggesting that he healed my sore throat. He did the same with the small open wounds on my cheeks as he circled my waist with his arm, lifting me closer to his face.

"I have or-"

"Who did this to you?"He growled angrily as he looked at me intently, scanning my face.

"Lucifer calm down, please! No one did this to me. I'm a..." I started to say, bringing my hands to his shoulders and caressing his skin softly. But I couldn't say it. "It turns out that... I'm a..."

He was looking into my eyes, with confusion clear in his, as he waited for an answer. It looked like he was reading me, and I froze a little, focusing on blocking my mind from him. I hated it when he read my mind.

"I'm a phoenix, Lucifer" I sighed and dropped my eyes, looking at his exposed chest that moved up and down against mine. "A dark phoenix..." I added cautiously.

I heard his breath cease abruptly and silence spread inside the room for a while. All I could hear were our heartbeats and the birds chirping outside.

Suddenly, I sensed him moving as he walked backward and sat down on the bed, placing me on his lap once again. He softly touched my chin with two fingers and pushed my head up, in order to look at him.

My eyes found his, which were shining brightly with the flames swirling playfully inside them. He looked at me with so much intensity and passion, I could feel my insides burning up.

"How did this happen?" He asked calmly as he gazed into my eyes.

After his question, it was as if my brain just processed the fact that Lucifer was okay and I was consumed by a thousand thoughts and questions about the whole phoenix situation. I stared blankly at him as I realized that I didn't know anything about myself or what I was, confusion taking over my features.

"I don't know... I had just found out when you.. when you dropped from the sky.. and my thoughts were so preoccupied with you that I simply... forgot about it." I said, my breathing getting quicker as my mind raced.

I looked up at him through my eyelashes only to see him looking out of the window and clenching his jaw. He seemed disturbed and as confused as I was.

"How.."He started but quickly stopped, as he exhaled deeply."How did I not know? How did I not sense it earlier?" His eyebrows were furrowed and he tried to focus on his thoughts. I could almost hear the cogs working inside his mind and suddenly his head snapped towards me and he looked deeply into my eyes.

"The corpses...Did you burn them?" I cringed visibly at his words and my eyes stang, tears quickly forming inside my eyelids. The tears fell before Lucifer could react and a painful sob escaped my lips. I bit my bottom lip tightly, shutting my eyes and placing my forehead on his shoulder, my tears falling on his exposed chest and rolling down.

This is too much. I can't deal with so many things at once. I didn't have time to deal with the incident because I was slapped in the face with my new powers, and I didn't have time to deal with being a phoenix because my mate came falling through the sky.

My top priority instantly became to tend for his wounds and make sure that he was alright. I couldn't think about anything else while he was lying unconscious in front of me. But now that he was well and awake, my thoughts came through my mind like a hurricane and destroyed me from the inside.

I felt their hands on my skin, grabbing and squeezing like rigid animals. I saw the flames shallow them and I heard their screams, again and again, echoing in my head and torturing me. I sobbed against his stiff shoulder, as the two dead bodies lied down in front of me, smoke emitting from their bodies, from the fire that I caused. I caused it. I was to blame. I killed two people.

"I killed them... I killed them Lucifer" I whispered against his skin and his body stiffened more. He was frozen and he didn't know how to react.

As I was crying on his shoulder, he brought his hand up to my cheek and cupped it, softly bringing my head up. I couldn't look at him, not in the state that I was in.

"Look at me" He commanded and his voice was harsh. I reluctantly opened my now swollen eyes and looked at him, as more tears flew down my cheeks. My bottom lip trembled and my whole body shook from the shock that I was experiencing after I realized what I did to those two men.

"They deserved worse"He strictly stated, leaving no room for discussion as his eyes shone dangerously, the red rubies drawing me in. "They deserved so much worse than what you did. Don't blame yourself. Not now, not ever."

I whimpered and nodded softly, sniffing twice and trying to contain my tears. I leaned into his touch and shut my eyes, feeling the small electrifying tingles against my skin.

When I calmed down, Lucifer decided that it was time to continue.

"I'm guessing that your fear was the main factor of your outburst because your powers were hidden. You needed to feel something very intense in order to break the spell that concealed your aura and your powers." He said in an indifferent tone and my mind traveled back to my feelings when I was in that dirty alley.

"No, Lucifer. It was anger." I whispered as I opened my eyes to look at him. I raised my hand and brushed through his messy black locks. "Anger towards you. I believed that you left me and you ignored me while I was scared to death" I added, still whispering.

His neutral expression turned into a stern one as his body tensed visibly and his eyes looked haunted. He glanced down to his lap and slid down his hands from my face to my neck and shoulders. He squeezed my shoulders as he exhaled slowly and tauntingly.

I tugged at his hair and made him look up to my eyes, the intensive eye contact showing all the pain that we both had to experience while being away from one another.

"But now I know that it's not your fault. You didn't abandon me." It was as if we were both hanging on from each other's words. We both needed validation that our pain is not our fault. That our actions are not our fault. We are not sure about ours but we are positive about each others. And that's all that mattered.

He nodded at me and he let his hands slide down to my waist, climbing inside my shirt and resting on the curve of my hips. I shivered and relaxed on his lap as we just stood there, looking at each other. Hazel crashing against red.

"Are you upset?" I asked looking at the flames burn in his irises. He shook his head slightly and I furrowed my eyebrows. "Then why are your eyes red?"

He gave me a hint of a smile as he explained. "That's their natural color"

"What about the blue?" I asked as I looked inside his dark pupils.

"I change them when I come into contact with humans. Do you prefer them?" He asked and the flames died down a little as if fading.

I scooted closer to him and brought my face so close to his, our noses were touching. I stared deep into the bright blood-colored irises that resembled Hellfire. I leaned my head to the side and brushed my lips against his, never breaking the eye contact, a familiar but long-forgotten feeling igniting in the pit of my stomach.

"I love them," I let out huskily and the next second we both froze as we looked at each other. The realization hit me hard and my eyes widened as I processed what I said.

I went to justify my words as I realized that I admitted that I love something about Lucifer, but before I could even open my mouth to speak, he grabbed the nape of my neck and pulled me towards him, minimizing the distance between our lips.

He kissed me passionately and feverishly. I voluntarily parted my lips as his tongue swiped over my bottom lip, asking for permission. Our tongues touched and everything else faded.

This kiss was different this time. It was more erotic, needier. Lucifer kissed me with immense sexual need and I kissed him back in the same manner. The craving I had for him could not leave me, always hiding in the back of my head and creeping out every time I set my eyes on him.

I wanted to touch every inch of his body, to feel his hot skin on my palms. My hands traveled down his shoulders, caressing his hard torso with my needy hands. As he bit down on my lips, I moaned against his lips and he tightened his grip on the back of my neck.

His hand was so close to my mark and the tingles inside my mind burst like fireworks, numbing me and firing me up at the same time.

As my hands explored his sides and his hard abdominal area, Lucifer shifted from underneath me, accidentally or intentionally rubbing his hard-on against my private part, making us both groan out in pleasure.

The kiss broke and we both pulled back slightly, looking at each other. His eyes shined as they fell on mine and he hummed pleased.

"Your eyes" He huffed out, his voice deep and raspy, sending chills down my spine. "They are shining... a magnetic orange color" He whispered and he licked his lips, his eyes never leaving mine.

The way he looked at me like he was obsessed with me, addicted to me, created an underlying need to please him. And I wanted to. I wanted to please him as he pleased me many times before. I wanted him to feel what I felt when he had me against the wall, or underneath him on the bed.

So I leaned in and peppered his neck with small, soft kisses, slowly switching into more hungry, wet ones as I let my lips travel down his to his chest. I moved back and placed my feet on the ground, kissing his velvety skin across his hard pectorals.

I placed my hands on his upper thighs and slowly, teasingly caressed him, brushing my fingers on the inner part of his large and strong thighs. I reached his abdominal area and with open kisses, I trailed my lips down his abs and bit the hem of the loose white pants, my eyes looking up to his face.

"What are you doing Eliana?" His voice came out strained as he placed his palms on the bed, leaning back slightly. I hooked two fingers inside his waistband and pulled down an inch, revealing his lower abdominal area.

I was feeling scandalous so I lowered my head and kissed the area just above his member. His body spasmed and I smirked against his skin.

"You know what I'm doing...Lucifer" I said, emphasizing his name as I lowered down on the floor, kneeling in between his legs. The thin fabric of his pants did nothing to hide his muscled and strong thighs, which looked like they could crush my skull like a balloon.

I pulled down his pants with both of my hands, and he unconsciously raised his hips to help the fabric escape from underneath him. His boner stood proudly in front of me and I gulped as I eyed it from up close, my confidence faltering.

I looked up at his face again, and the look that he had, gave me all the confidence in the world. His hungry eyes were shining brightly like rubies, his lips were parted slightly, letting out small controlled huffs of air as he looked me directly in my eyes.

When you are naked like that in front of someone, you usually feel a little vulnerable. But not Lucifer. He stood there, sitting like a God, emitting so much power and authority.

He also looked like he was holding himself back, like he didn't want to give in. He seemed like he had everything under control. And the only thing I wanted right now was for him to let go.

Without breaking eye contact, I let his pants fall on his ankles and I brought my right hand on his shaft, wrapping my fingers around it. I started moving my hand up and down, very very slowly and when he let out his first uncontrolled breath I knew that my teasing paid off.

I lowered my head and opened my mouth, letting my tongue out as I went to lick his tip that was now glistening.

In a split second, before my tongue touched him, he shot his hand out and fisted my hair tightly, holding my head back and deterring me from licking him.

I stood there, looking intently at him with my tongue out, as he burned holes through my skull. He hissed at the image and he tightened his grip on my hair.

"Eli...There's no coming back if you do that" He warned me, his voice alarmingly strained. He was still holding back.

Instead of answering, I darted my tongue towards his member, and slowly licked his tip. The action alone was enough to make him groan out in pleasure, as he relaxed his grip on my hair, allowing me to come closer.

I continued stroking him with my hand, with slow movements as he tried to stay calm. I swiped my tongue around the tip, and he growled, baring his teeth a little as he curled his upper lip. I enjoyed every sound and every facial expression he made.

After I decided that I teased him enough, I opened my mouth more and closed my lips around the head of his dick, struggling already. I moved my hand down to the base, lowered my head a little, and brought it back up slowly.

I wanted to squeeze every reaction out of him, and with newly found confidence that was flowing in my veins, I had every intention to make him beg for me.

I picked up that pace a little as I placed my left hand on his inner thigh, stroking it with my nails. My mouth was fully stretched as I tried to take more of him with every single movement, and with one daring move, I dipped low. The tip hit the back of my throat and I felt the gag reflex kicking in, my eyes watering immediately.

He groaned loudly and as I went to back away, he gripped my hair tightly, his fingers digging into my scalp, and he held me there. I could feel him twitching inside my mouth, the head of his dick literally down my throat, which was clenching continuously around him, praying for air.

I looked up at him pleadingly and I dug my nails in his thigh. His eyelids were half opened and his red orbs turned a darker shade as he stared at me, blinded by pleasure. He started moving my head with his hand, and no matter how I resisted he wasn't phased.

Tears rolled down my cheeks as I tried to breathe in from my nose and not clench my teeth around his dick. Although I was quite tempted to bite him, I was so turned on by his reaction and I craved more.

I let him guide my head and it was like he was allowing me to rise up an inch, only to push me two inches further down. He did this two or three times, letting me adjust every time he pushed me until my nose hit his pelvis. I never expected to be able to take him whole.

After that, he was ruthless.

He started picking up his pace, moving my head faster and tightening his grip on my hair, fisting them painfully. I steadied myself by gripping his thighs as he continued, his pace not faltering once. I couldn't look at him but the groans and growls that he was letting out with each thrust were enough to arouse me.

After a long while, I knew he was close and just because I needed to breathe, I decided to help him. His grip had relaxed and as he was close, his pace slowed down a little. I took advantage of that and took control, bringing my lips all the way down his shaft while simultaneously moaning, creating vibrations in my mouth and throat.

"Fu- uck, Eli.." He whispered harshly and then groaned, throwing his head back as his body spasmed. His dick twitched inside my mouth and his cum went directly down my throat, making me gag for the hundredth time. I waited a few seconds and then slowly raised my head, releasing him.

I sat down on my heels and observed him while trying to catch my breath.

His hand was still tangled on my hair and his other was on the bed, supporting his torso as he leaned back. His head was thrown back, Adam's apple very prominent on his throat as he inhaled and exhaled quickly. His naked chest was glistening with sweat and it was rising up and down with every breath he took.

As I tasted the salty substance in my mouth, I stared at him as he rose his head to look at me. His eyes were almost closed and his lips were slightly parted. The sight only made me crave more of him but truth be told, my jaw was destroyed.

His fingers untangled themselves from my hair and he reached down on my waist, leaning his body forward. He circled my waist and brought me flash against his body, placing me again on his lap. He grabbed my chin softly and leaned down, placing his lips on mine.

It was soft and caring. Affectionate and tender. His lips felt like velvet against mine.

When we drew back, he went to say something, but a knock on the wooden door of the small cabin sounded. I glanced to the door and then back to Lucifer. I was well aware that he was butt naked underneath my thighs, so I started to get up.

Lucifer planted his hands firmly on my hips and held me down, sitting on top of his naked lap while his pants were on the ground.

"Lucifer, you need to put your-"

"Let's show him that you are mine, shall we?"He whispered huskily and then yelled 'come in'. I squirmed and tried to talk to him but he shushed me.
