"Why can't I just go for a walk?" I ask him angrily.

After the best nights sleep ever he got up and made me breakfast, despite me telling him I wasn't hungry. Then I took a long relaxing shower after checking and cleaning my wounds, and then I got dressed and came downstairs. Lucifer insisted on me staying near him at all times, I think me being attacked yesterday has something to do with it.

"You know why, Red." He sighs, not looking up from his paperwork as he sits behind his desk. His attitude this morning is getting on my nerves, he's being so calm, so fucking stubborn. It's annoying as fuck. He hasn't even looked at me properly in the past 4 hours he's forced me to remain in his office whilst he works.

"Don't you want to know who attacked me?" I quiz him, casually looking at my nails as if taking interest in them. When in reality I just want him to let me out of this house. I can't breathe.

His head snaps up. His eyes narrowing. "I'm sure I'll get it out of the pac-"

"It wasn't your pack." I cut him off.

"Rogues?" He growls menacingly, his large hands balling into fists on the desk.

I nod slowly. "Two." I confirm. "They're dead. Which proves I can handle myself, now I'd like to go outside."

Standing from the couch I make my way over to the door. Grabbing the brass handle I turn it, and pull the door open. Suddenly it slams shut. I look up slowly, my eyes finding a large familiar tan hand over my head against the door. My eyes slowly follow the tan smooth flesh, the thick muscular bicep leading to an equally beautiful torso and face.

Shit.

I back up against the door, looking up into his dark hungry eyes. My body immediately heats up under him, recalling yesterday. My heart thumps heavily, my stomach balling into knots.

"No. I want to go outside." I breathe. Quickly ducking under his arm I step around him and back away a few steps, away from him. The Devil Alpha.

He turns to me, his body much larger than my own, and now he blocks the doorway. His eyes hold amusement, sinful amusement as he looks at me. Immediately I knew that I shouldn't have moved from the door.

"At what cost?" He growls huskily. My mouth drops open slightly in astonishment, the fact that he's so straight forward about what he wants makes it so much harder to resist.

Is this my life now? To let him eat me whenever he wants to? Do I not have a say in this? I knew yesterday would back fire on me. I just didn't think it would happen so soon.

Putting my clothes back on I ignore Lucifers heated gaze on my body. He didn't need to strip me off completely, but he did. Maybe he just likes having the full canvas.

"I'll be back in an hour or so." I inform him despite not really needing to.

"Take this." He calls to me before I leave. Looking back at him I frown at the object he grabs from his desk, he tosses it towards me. I catch it with ease, looking down at it.

It's a...short sword?

"Anyone attacks you, you kill them. My pack or not." He tells me with a firm voice, leaving me speechless. He looks at me like a overly protective mother would on her child's first day of school.

"Now that, I can do." I flash him a grin. Swinging the sword in my hand I exit his office as he wipes his chin and mouth with a tissue.

I'm not exactly sure what the fuck is going on between me and Lucifer, it's just...complicated. I have secrets that no one knows about, as does he. We sleep in the same bed, we share a room, we-
