The next morning, Zelda woke up and as she looked around to settle in reality, she discovered Lilith who was on her knees beside the bed, her head lying next to her on a bent arm, holding her hand. Then she remembered: At some point during the night, she had had another anxiety attack and Lilith had been right by her side. She must have fallen asleep afterwards.

Recalling the events of the previous night, Zelda felt utterly embarrassed, but could not deny Lilith taking care of her had helped her and she was in fact feeling better. She decided to let the demoness sleep a little longer, kissed the brunette tresses and got up.

Zelda returned fully dressed and styled, carrying a tray with all sorts of pastry she had sneaked from Hilda's basket that her sister always brought to the Academy to have breakfast there later. She quietly put it on the coffee table and strode over to Lilith.

Careful not to startle her, she sat down beside her on the floor and started trailing tiny pecks down from the top of her head, along the side of her face to her neck. Lilith started moving and grumbling as Zelda caressed her back.

"Hey, sleepyhead. Time to wake up", she whispered in her ear, and as she was in a playful mood, she had the audacity to flick her tongue across it.

Lilith flinched at the sensation and shot her eyes open, turning her head to the ginger. "What in heaven?!"

Zelda giggled and pressed her lips on Lilith' bare shoulder before getting up again. She had already prepared an outfit for Lilith as an apology for messing with her clothes last night.

"Chop-chop, breakfast's waiting and the Directrix hasn't got all day!"

"Easy for you to say! I barely got any sleep!", Lilith complained, but did not really mean it.

"And I'm sorry for that", Zelda said truthfully, "I'll make it up to you."

The demoness rose from the floor, grimacing at the pain as she straightened her legs and flashed her hands to her knees, eliciting a hiss.

"Getting old, are we?", Zelda mocked, but could not refrain from looking her mostly naked lover up and down.

"Shush!", Lilith spat, but smiled as she was getting dressed, "Doesn't seem to bother you, considering how you're eating me with your eyes!"

The redhead pouted, narrowed her eyes at the demoness and sprinted towards her to poke and tickle her sides mercilessly, making her wriggle and laugh.

"Stop! You're such a tease!", she called out between her laughs, but Zelda was not impressed at all and kept tickling all the sensitive spots until Lilith lost balance and landed in her arms, back crashing against Zelda's front.

The witch swooped her up on her feet again and stopped the harassment, hugging Lilith around her waist tightly, nose buried in the crook of her neck as she kissed the spot repeatedly.

"Someone's needy today", Lilith teased and turned around in her lover's arms to kiss her sweetly at first and then with passion.

"Only paying tribute to my Queen...", Zelda murmured in between their lips' dance.

"Anything else you'd like to do to your Queen?"

"Oh, I could think of a few things..."

Zelda sneaked her hand underneath the black button-up blazer-like top she had given her. Her fingers found the brunette's boob, but just as she felt her melt into the touch, she swiftly pulled her hand out from under the piece of clothing, leaving Lilith whimper at the loss of contact.

"Breakfast before dessert", she stated decidedly and gave her girlfriend's bottom a little slap before heading to the coffee table.

"Yes, Directrix Spellman", Lilith gasped full of arousal.

Zelda put her empty espresso cup back on the tray and leaned back in the chair while Lilith was still indulging in a croissant, smearing chocolate all around her mouth.

"What?"

"Nothing", Zelda said innocently with a smirk, "You're eating like a kid."

"Impossible. I've never been a child." She chewed thoroughly with Zelda watching her in awe of how adorable the Mother of Demons could be when nobody else was watching.

"What do you mean?"

"I was made like this", Lilith shrugged, "Fully developed woman and all."

"That's sad", Zelda commented, thinking about how this might be the reason that one motherly gesture always soothed the demoness.

Lilith brushed it off and took another bite, moaning at the sugar-rush. "I don't mind", she commented with her mouth full.

"Zee? I had an idea last night. Why don't you come with me to hell today? I mean, I've got some business to sort with Sabrina later, but I've got some spare time before to show you around if you'd like?"

The witch thought about it for a moment, considering her duties as headmistress, but after what they had been through the past few weeks as well as last night, they deserved some time together. Hilda could surely cover for her in the meantime.

"Sounds nice."

Lilith swallowed the last bite of her pastry and rose from her seat spreading her chocolate-covered fingers as to not smear it somewhere.

"Great, then I'll just wash my hands and face quickly and we can get going."

But Zelda stopped her by jumping to block the way and grabbed one of her wrists. "Already forgot about dessert?", she said in the sultriest voice, batting her eyes and elegantly moving her face to Lilith's fingers to take one of them in her mouth and lick it clean.

Lilith was caught off guard and just watched her as Zelda continued to clean the rest of her fingers as well, making her all tingly. Unconsciously, she moistened her own lips, which Zelda noticed and commented with a throaty growl.

"You're completely right, I missed a spot", she pointed out with a seductive hum and leaned in to crash her lips against Lilith's first before letting her tongue gather up all the smeared chocolate around her mouth.

"Heaven, Zelda...", the brunette moaned, trying to steal kisses from her lover, "You really know how to raise my appetite."

Zelda chuckled and pushed Lilith gently to the bed, never leaving her lips.
