Devilish Desire

Chapter 5

Lucifer almost dropped Chloe at the sight of little Trixie standing in the hallway while Chloe struggled to get off of Lucifer and pushed him a little bit away, obviously embarrassed.

"Why are you hurting Lucifer mommy?", the young girl seemed confused.

Her mother leaned down to her, still trying to steady her breathing. "What? I didn't hurt Lucifer", she tried not to look at Lucifer's smug grin. Apparently, the devil didn't seem to bother the fact that they got caught ripping their shirts off each other.

"But I could hear him groaning and his neck is bleeding a little bit", the young girl looked worried in Lucifer's direction.

Chloe turned to Lucifer as well and could now clearly see some red scratches at the back of his neck and his shoulders. Maybe she's been a little bit rough with him; she couldn't oppress a smile.

"Yeah uhm, I'm gonna take care of Lucifer. I promise", she smiled fondly at her daughter and tried not to think about how Lucifer got the scratches. "Why are you awake anyways? It's", she threw a look at her watch, "half past nine. That's way beyond your bedtime monkey." 

"I couldn't sleep and then I saw this man at my window", the 8-year old sounded anxious. 

"A man?", Chloe put her hands on Trixie's shoulders and looked into her eyes, "are you sure?"

"Yes mommy. Can I sleep in your bed tonight? I don't wanna sleep alone?", she embraced her mother. 

"Sure sweetie. Let me just take a quick look outside, ok? I wanna see if this man you saw is still there. Lucifer will wait here with you?"

"But Chloe", Lucifer sounded more like a child than Trixie did, "you still need to take care of me", definitely aware of the double-meaning.

"I can do it", Trixie ran over to him, "I've already did this when you and Maze slipped on the banana peels. You remember?"

Lucifer sighted. He would prefer Chloe a lot more but since this seemed to get Trixie's mind off that man she'd maybe sleep in her own bed afterwards and he could have his time with the detective. "Fine, but this time I want a lolly." 

Chloe mouthed a "thanks" to Lucifer. "I'll be right back", she kissed her daughter on her forehead, went to the kitchen drawer to take her gun and a flashlight went outside. After closing the door behind her she went to the side of the house where Trixie's window was. Lighting the ground she could spot some footprints. So Trixie was at least not lying. She followed them to the end of the property and was almost sure she could see a black dressed person on the other end of then street but it was too dark to see clear features. The detective sighted and went back to the house. When she arrived at the doorstep a small paper was lying at the ground, where Chloe was sure it hasn't been there before. She took the note and turned it around; at the sight of the message she swallowed. "You'll pay. Sooner or later, you'll pay." She took a deep breath and read the text over and over again. Eventually she went inside. 

In the living room Trixie had just finished patching up Lucifer who was eating a lolly gleefully. Chloe smiled at the two.

"Hey Trixie, this looks great. Why don't you look for a book I can read to you while  I talk to Lucifer?"

"Okay mommy", the young one smiled and ran to her room. When she was out of sight Chloe passed Lucifer the note and run her fingers through her hair. 

"Chloe, what-", Lucifer sounded worried. 

"I found this on the door step. I'll talk to the department tomorrow but right now they won't be able to do anything so I guess I'll just have to double lock the doors", the blonde tried to lighten the atmosphere but it didn't really work. 

"No chance detective, I won't let you sleep in here when there is a obviously dangerous man out there, threatening you and your daughter", Lucifer said with concern. 

"That's very nice of you Lucifer, but-"

"No, no buts", Lucifer interrupted Chloe. "Trixie!", he yelled whereas the young girl came and looked up to Lucifer. "Where gonna go on a little trip to uncle Lucifer's for the night", he said without even reacting to Chloes objections. 

"Oh yes!", the girl seemed way to enthusiastic for Chloe's opinion. 

"Come on Detective, hurry up", Lucifer and Trixie were almost already at the door, both ignoring Chloe who sighted loudly.

"Let me at least pack some things for the two of us"

"No time, I've got everything you need at mine."

Chloe took a deep breath. This evening had already been very action-packed so she just stopped complaining and thought "Why not". Lucifer and her had spent most of their time together anyways so one night at his place wouldn't be the death of hers. Maybe Lucifers idea wasn't even that bad, she would definitely sleep better knowing that there was no man sneaking around the house. She took her badge plus gun and left after Lucifer and Trixie the house, not without locking the door twice. She sighted. "Let the fun begin". And she had no plan what hell of a night awaited her.

A/N: I know this is very short and rushed and I'm not very content with it but whatever. oh and as you can see I'm preferring Deckerstar and family moments more than an actual case :)
