You snuggle into the blankets, feeling lips on your forehead before hearing the door click shut. ‘Vergil must have work..’ You awoke to an empty space next to you on the bed, still warm from where he laid. Looking at the time on your side table, you see that it was later in the afternoon. ‘Was I asleep for that long?’ You get up, grabbing your robe and slipping it on your naked frame. Heading out of your room, you noticed Dante’s room was open. Did he head out to work, too? Heading down the stairs, you feel as though things were clean and in place. Last night Dante, Lady and Trish were rowdy.
Lots of overthrown items.
Mainly at Dante..
Your gaze turned to the door slamming open, boots clacking on the hardwood floor and a flash of red. “Welcome back, Dante!” He gave you a glance and salute as he headed to his desk in a hurry. “Hey babe! Sorry can’t talk!” He pulls out Ebony and Ivory, coat swaying as he heads back out. “Oh! Alright! Have a good day!” You sighed as the door slammed.
“It must be busy today.”
~~
A couple of times Dante was in and out of the house in a rush the rest of the day. You questioned as to why, but he didn’t have any response for you. Even after you took a shower and came down in your robe, he didn’t even eye you down or try to kiss you WHILE trying to take it off. Your eyebrow furrowed as you look to the door as he left once more. “What is he up to?” You whisper out loud as you look outside, the sun setting. You, of course stay out of their way when it comes to their work since they are always busy. It’s dangerous stuff, they risk their lives almost every day fighting demons. Your nose suddenly picked up a familiar scent, your stomach in knots and mind in jumbles.
‘Woman’s perfume?’
It sounds ridiculous, since he works with Trish and Lady on his hunts. Of course you can smell perfume! But.. both women have expensive taste for sure, and this smell wasn’t their usual. You stood from Vergil’s desk and head up stairs to shower. No, you will not go down that road; You trust them! Vergil and Dante, even if the latter was a womanizer. You paused your movements, the emptiness of Devils May Cry made your thoughts more rampant.
‘I trust him..’
You hear the front door open and close, the calm footsteps walking to Dante’s desk. ‘It must be Vergil.’ You headed back down, your smile falling at a unknown woman looking around. Her hair was long and black, reaching down to her rear. She was clad in a low-cut red dress, chest looking as they would burst from the fabric. Long legs and sun kissed skin, her brown eyes scanned the room before landing on you. She glanced at you up and down before giving a smile. “Hello sweetheart! I was wondering if you’d seen a man named Dante?”
What?
You regulated your breath as she continued to look you over. Why the hell is she looking at you like that? Sizing you up?! You unclenched your jaw, the burning feeling traveling in your veins as you gave her a fake smile. “No, he isn’t. Can I help you? Did you make an appointment?” She shook her head and made her way to the couch to take a seat. “Oh no I didn’t! That’s alright! I’ll wait until he comes back! I have something important for him. ”
WHAT?
Your eyebrow twitched as she set down her purse, picked up a magazine and begins to read, one leg crossed over the other. A clock ticks by bit by bit, as your feet unconsciously carried to Dante’s desk. You grabbed some paperwork and took a seat on his chair, Trying to pay no heed to the woman. “Are you his secretary? What’s it like working with him?” Your tried to suppress your anger as you looked at her through your eyelashes. ‘This-!!’ You gave her another closed eyed smile before looking at your paper. “He’s my boyfriend..” You hear her gasp, feeling a bit smug at her reaction. “Really?! I was wondering why he hasn’t stopped by Love Planet in ages before recently!” She put her hand on her palm in thought. “You’re such a cutie! All of the girls will be heartbroken when they find out.. ”
Other girls?
What does she mean ‘recently’?
"Maybe I'll just give it to you! Oh.. but he might get mad if I did.." Your fist clenched, heart hurting and anger boiling. You abruptly stood, opening your mouth to retort before the door slammed open. Dante trudged in, your eyes widen at blood was on his chest. “Dante?!” His eyes look to you and then to the woman, shoulder sagging as he spots her. “What are you doing here, Lynda? I thought you and your hubby was heading out?” The woman shrugged and stood, reaching into her small red bag. Pulling out a red velvet box, she tosses it to him which he catches it with ease. “I wanted to give this to you before I left for my honeymoon. Thanks again for clearing out those nasties for us at the shop.” Her heels clacking as she headed out, waving. "Bye! Don't be mad at him, sweetie!" The door shut, leaving you both in silence.
"Haa.. shit.."
Dante breathed out, sitting on the edge of the torn up couch. holding his chest. Your emotions turn to worry as you quickly made your way to his side. "Where else are you bleeding? Hold on I'll get some towels!" You whirled around to grab the first aid kit and other supplies until your wrist was grabbed. You gasp as you were pulled back to him. "Ah, that's not important right now." Your hands on his chest, looking up at him with your eyes wide. "Are you serious?! We need to.." You trailed off at Dantes eyes lowering the more he looked at you. "You're pissed, I can tell." You shut your eyes at his lips on your forehead. His hands slid up your waist, sides and arms before landing on your cheeks. "I'm not gonna lie to you; I dont regret every single thing I did to you that night." You open your mouth before his lips pressed against yours. His hands travel down your hands, something cold slips on your ring finger. You quickly pulled away and looked at your hand, trying to piece everything together.

"I'm not sentimental like Verg. But every thought in my head that hot, steamy night was filled with nothing but you, babe." He kisses your cheek as you continue to look at the ring. "Because it's you I get so excited, I turn to mush the more I'm with you. I can't help myself." Your face heats up at his panty dropping grin spreading on his face. "Sorry about earlier, the owners at Love Plantet had me work double time for the whole day." Dante grumbled, scratching the back of his head. "I missed seeing you naked this morning too, damn it!!" You laughed at Dantes pout, putting your hand on his cheek. He wiggles his eyebrows, holding you closer as you laughed, his wound already healed to your relief.
