Lucifer's POV

Fucking fuck! I finally had her in my bed! Had her completely relaxed and willing. And the head! In all my years I'd never had that good of head. And she enjoyed it, she wanted to please me. Fuck! When I reached the IT room Bee was already there. "Hey boss, it's not as bad as we first thought."

"But was it sabotage?" I growled.

Bee shook his head, "No just looks like unfortunate update error. They're already fixed and back on and it doesn't look like anything was tampered with." He was all business as he came over to me then gave me a sly smile, "Why do you smell like sex? You better not be steppin' out on my girl."

I growled at the insinuation, "No! Levina and I were in bed when we were rudely interrupted. She had just given me the best head of my life and I was about to return the favor."

"I'm sorry! I thought it was more serious. What made her change her mind?" Bee didn't ask to be rude but I still bristled at the thought of him thinking of my mate's sexual life.

"Seth contacted her in her dreams and said he was building an army and he'd use it to get to her." I ran my hands through my hair. "She freaked out said she'd be stronger if we finally mated."

"But now you're worried she's doing it for the wrong reasons." I nodded. "She loves you, that's clear to anyone, she's a big girl and she knows what she's doing. If none of this would have happened, I have a feeling you two would have already mated and you know it."

I sighed, "I don't like when you're right."

Bee claps my shoulder, "Ah but that's why you keep me around. Go back to your woman." He didn't have to tell me twice.

I snapped back to our bedroom but Levina wasn't there. Panic filled my lungs as I ran down to her room but then I heard clattering from the kitchen. When I rounded the corner, she was by the counter swaying her hips to whatever song was in her head and making scrambled eggs. And she was only wearing one of my dress shirts, it barely reached her ass. "Fuck woman, you gave me a heart attack." She turned around at the sound of my voice, she only had one button done up and it was right under her breasts. "You were supposed to be in my bed, naked." It came out as a growl and she just smiled at me. Just smiled at me.

"I'm sorry daddy, I was hungry and didn't know how long you were going to be." She turned back around to plate her eggs. "You should be proud of me for eating." She smiled again then grabbed two forks and came over to the stool closet to me. "Try my eggs, I used to make them all the time."

Scrambled eggs were scrambled eggs but she seemed like she really wanted me to try. So, I sat down and pulled her into my lap, she sighed as I wrapped my arms around her. "You take the first bite." I had this intense urge to make sure she ate enough first. Even though she clearly made enough for both of us. She took a nice spoonful and hummed at the first taste, and fuck me I was hard. To distract myself from my lust I took a bite to and holy fuck! I moaned, me! "Why are those so good? I've never made scrambled eggs this good."

"Butter. Melt the better on medium heat then add the eggs and slowly and continuously stir. I use a spatula, keeps them nice and creamy." She had a satisfied smile on her face. "I miss cooking I should do it more for you."

I kissed her cheek, "If it's half as good as these eggs I'll take it." She smiled again but it faded, "What baby? What's wrong?"

She shook her head but I pinched her side, making her yelp before reluctantly spilling. "I always loved cooking, especially with my mom. I've clearly always struggled with my weight, starting in my teens my dad would always judge me and ask if I should be eating that all the way until I moved out. Then my boyfriends had an opinion, of course the last one wasn't as vocal about it but I could see in his face when he disapproved of my choices. It made me hate cooking."

I growled low and menacing, "They were all assholes and they didn't deserve you." I pinched her chin between my fingers so she could look at me. "But guess what baby girl? Down here you won't gain anything unless extremely over indulge. So, you eat what you want okay? You make whatever you want. You will never have any judgment from me because I love food too. Okay baby girl?"

She looked away to hide her tears then nodded, "Yes daddy." She said so softly it tore my heart out. I brushed my lips against hers, I meant it to be quick and soft but as soon as we made contact, we devoured each other. She somehow maneuvered herself so she was straddling my lap and my hands holding her gorgeous ass. I groaned as we pulled apart, "We should go finish what we started."

It wasn't a question or a demand but more of a statement from her but I countered. "You need to finish eating first."

She nuzzled against my neck as her hands played with my hair. "But daddy I'm not hungry for food anymore."

I swallowed, fuck me, "Eat three more bites baby girl, and then we can go upstairs." She frowned but did as she was told even eating more than three. "Good girl." I ate the rest and then picked up my mate as I stood. She let out a tiny squeal but wrapped her legs around my waist. "We don't have to rush this. We can wait a few days; you don't have to jump in head first to the deep end." I said making sure this is what she wanted.

She sighed and hid her face in my neck, I could feel her weighing her options, "I'm afraid." She whispered.

"Of what baby girl? Let me take care of you." I spoke quietly as I carried her, not to the bedroom but to the media room.

"I'm afraid if I don't know I'll lose the courage. I'm afraid that while we're doing it I'll have flashbacks of his attack." I sat down in the chair and let her stay straddled on my lap, her head still buried in my neck. "I'm afraid to feel and get rejected."

"Baby girl look at me." She hesitantly leaned back and met my eyes, "I will never reject you. You are mine, body and soul. And as your mate, as your king, as your Daddy, I will take care of my queen, my baby girl." I kissed her forehead, "Let's just cuddle up and watch a movie. How's that sound?"

"Sounds good. But you pick the movie." She said tiredly, she was totally entering little space, I kissed her forehead.

"Whatever you want baby. But you're going to have to get up."

She pouted then and held on tighter, "You're strong enough to hold me while you look."

I chuckled and picked her up again, her head buried back into my neck while I looked. "Anything I want?"

She hummed while rubbing her hands through my hair, "Anything daddy." She murmured against my neck, her lips teasing my skin. I will not pick porn; I will not pick porn.

"What do watch when you want to laugh?" I asked as I switched to cupping her ass with one hand and lacing my hand in her hair.

Levina pulled back to look at me, "Mmm so many; Grown Ups, Just Go With It, Austin Powers."

I snorted and moved to the a's and grabbed the first Austin Powers movie. I got everything set up and then settled on the seat, "Baby girl, you're going to have to let go and sit next to me to watch the movie. We'll get you into something more comfortable and I'll get some popcorn." She sighed and scooted off my lap, instantly snapped her into her favorite hoodie, but nothing else. After she was curled up against my side, I snapped her a blanket and a bowl of popcorn into my hands. "Anything else baby girl?"

She fidgeted with the blanket before shaking her head, "No I'm good." She reached for the popcorn but I pulled it out of her reach. "Lucifer!"

"Tell me what you want." I know she wants something, but her scent says she's embarrassed by it. "Tell me baby girl."

"Can we please just start the movie?" She really didn't want to tell me and I have to respect her but it can't be that bad. "Fine. If that's what you want." I hit play but blocked out the movie and watched my girl.

"You're not watching the movie." She said quietly and without looking away from the screen.

"Tell me what you wanted and I'll watch." She shook her head, fine I'd keep watching her. She's better than the movie anyway. But then she started to squirm under my stare. "Stop squirming baby girl. If you can't take the heat, tell daddy what you want."

She huffed and sat up to look at me, "Fine! I want a stuffie... I miss mine."

I internally scoffed, "A stuffie? Is that all? You were embarrassed about a stuffie? Why?"

"I'm a grown woman I shouldn't need stuffed animals." Her cheeks were extremely pink and she looked close to tears. I sighed, someone had fucked her up by saying that, but I let it go for now.

I pulled her into my lap and she curled up into my chest, hiding her face. I brushed back her hair and continued to pet it. "What kind of stuffie does my baby girl want? You can show me if you don't want to tell me." I held up my hand near her temple and she nodded. Looking specifically for a stuffed animal, I avoided the rest of her thoughts even though it was extremely tempting. There it is, I snapped what she was looking for into her arms.

Her happy squeals were enough to melt my heart, she hugged the animal hard. All while she melted further into my lap. "Thank you! He's just like the one I had!" It was a racoon with a bowtie, it didn't seem like anything overly special.

"That's because it is." That made her happier, "Why is he special?" That made her quiet, "Vina?"

She sucked in a breath, "I was having problems." She moved off my lap to sit in her seat to look at me. She hugged the racoon tight, "Sex was painful, no matter how turned on I was, terrible cramps, terrible periods. When I told my OB, he diagnosed me with endometriosis. Then I had surgery to confirm and cauterize the worst of it. The surgery went fine, but I was in so much pain after I bought him to make myself happy."

"Did the surgery help? How young were you?" I asked instead of going straight for the question I wanted.

"It did a little, for a little while, birth control helped keep it in check. And I found out when I was twenty." She looked far away.

I swallowed hard, "And uh what about kids?"

That seemed to snap her back, "Never had any. Never got the chance to try. My boyfriend and I were going to wait until after we were married before I went off the birth control."

I nodded, "Did you want kids?"

"Yes, I loved kids, my doctor told me it'd be harder to conceive and I was hating that I was 30 with no kids and a dwindling timeline. It caused a lot of arguments between my boyfriend and I. I don't know why I was never good enough." She murmured that last part and looked away from me.

I put a gentle finger under her chin to make her look at me, her eyes were glistening with unshed tears. "Guess what baby girl? You are enough. You are more than I ever would have hoped for. Do you still want kids?"

She looked a little surprised, "You want babies with me? We can have babies?"

My brow furrowed, "Yes I want to have babies with you. I want to see you belly swollen with my child. See you breastfeeding our babies. Want to see every way you'd glow with motherhood. As mates we can in fact have babies. After the first time we mate any time after we both just have to have the intention for that love making to result in a child. And then from there, it's pretty much like a human's pregnancy maybe a little shorter."

She gave me a small smile before nodding, "That sounds nice." Satisfied with my answer she curled back up into my side to continue the movie. Tension I didn't even know I was carrying eased from my shoulders as I absorbed the fact that she wanted to have children with me. Now just to take care of Seth.
