Lucifer pulled me out of the room, but my eyes were glued to the man dead in it. There was another one. He just shot him, without thinking.
Oh MY God...
"Emma, look at me"
I tore my eyes from the body and met Lucifer's dark ones. His sharp eyes seemed to soften a bit and I felt bile rise. I don't know if it was the scare from the guy sneaking inside my room, or the fact he had shot him five feet from me. My mouth was like sandpaper and I felt a sob bubble up, but I had to calm down. I had to keep it together
Lucifer wrapped a hand around my arm lightly and pulled me, and I had to tip toe around the blood with his help.
"You..." I managed to mumble but I couldn't finish the sentence. Lucifer growled under his breath and turned to Monte.
"Tell the guys to clean this mess up. I'll meet you at the studio" Lucifer told him and then pulled me away. My legs felt like Jell-o and I couldn't resist even if I wanted to. But right now, I needed him near me. To think that man came so close to touching me was out of this world.
Lucifer pushed me in a bigger room. It looked old, with a vintage looking bed and rumpled white sheets. I frowned but he pushed me inside the bathroom. There was only a toothbrush and a toothpaste and some soap, nothing fancy.
"Is this your bathroom?" I asked, and he didn't reply, but was sneaky enough to put his hands on my waist and boost me onto the bathroom counter. I looked up at his eyes, but he was too busy inspecting every part of my body.
"What happened in there?" he asked in a murmur and grabbed my hand in his, turning it and inspecting my wrists that had red marks and cuts.
"I woke up, and he was there. I think he had been trying to smother me with a fucking pillow cause I woke up not being able to breathe-"
"He did what?" he stopped and looked at me in the eye.
"I don't know. I was asleep. Then he said that I was a difficult one to get his hands on or something" I mumbled and watched his reaction. It went from curious to furious in seconds. He snatched a white towel from the rack and after putting it under the sink for a bit he came towards me and started wiping some blood of my legs. Seems like the guys blood had splashed and I had the residue on me. The thought made me shiver.
"Look up" he mumbled and when I didn't move he used his strong fingers and pushed my chin up so he could take a look.
"Don't freak out but you're gonna have really bad bruises on your neck" he said and I frowned
"He tried to kill me. That's the least of my worries" I whispered, and Lucifer's eyes softened again
"You don't have to worry about that. You're with me now" he said, and I lowered my chin, my eyes meeting his.
"Is that supposed to be some kind of consolation?" I asked and Lucifer narrowed his eyes but wiped some blood of my neck.
"Why do you have a cut on your lip?" he asked quietly, and his eyes lowered to my lips. I tried to lick em quickly but it stung and Lucifer reached out and almost cupped my cheek. Only his fingertips touched my cheek as his thumb inspected my lip
"He hit you" he answered his own question, but I didn't respond. Obviously, he hit me. He clenched his jaw.
He was just mad cause he had to turn me in to The Boss without a scratch and now I had a couple of them, accompanied by a busted lip and soon-to-show-up bruises.
Yeah, that was it.
"Do you wanna take a shower?" he asked, letting me go quickly and I tried to avoid frowning. My head hurt too much.
