That's what I find myself most surprised by, I think.

[His hand slid out from her shirt, coming up to cup her cheek as he leaned in and pressed what, for him, was a rather chaste kiss against her lips.]

I haven't had that in longer than I'd like to think of.

[She leaned into that kiss, pressing her lips back against his with the gentlest brush.]

Well, maybe you should start getting used to it.

[hellicious]

I don't think I'll ever get used to you, Chloe.

[His voice was soft when he spoke, eyes gentle and dark as he let his thumb trace over her cheek.]

Get some sleep. I don't want you exhausted in the morning.

[couldkillthedevil]

Mm. I'll do my best.

[Now that she was safe and nestled in against him, she felt the stirrings of sleep tugging her down, beckoning her to close her eyes. She does, settling in more against him and the warmth of his wing curled over her and letting herself be comforted by the sound of his breathing and heartbeat.]

[He'd keep holding her through the night, watching her drift off and waiting until he was certain she was getting a good, unbothered sleep before he'd let himself join her. His wings would stay out all night, wrapping her up in white glory in hopes that it would keep her mind her own and afford her a mostly dreamless sleep -- or untainted night of dreams, but Lucifer had already decided that if there was something out there mucking with her mind, he'd have to go poke his nose into it to see if he could convince it to stop. Couldn't have her being manipulated, after all. Not even by himself.]
