When Hell Froze Over

I must have lost my mind, I thought as we sped through Los Angeles traffic. That was it. I had momentarily gone insane. There was no other explanation as to why I had kissed Lucifer and and then actually suggested we took it to his place. I, of all people, had asked for him to take me to his attic to continue what we were doing. He had accepted, obviously, because I was practically offering myself on a silver platter and I would have been surprised if he didn't.

Lucifer Morningstar was nothing if not a playboy, he would have never passed on an opportunity like that.
He had been trying to sleep with me for quite some time at that point and, of course, I had always refused. There was no way I was going to let someone like him touch me. I'll admit that I thought about it, once or twice, in the comfort of my bed at night. Lucifer was well known for his qualities, and no I wasn't talking about owning a club or being a very good civilian consultant. I had heard rumours, and of course he was always so smug about his sexual adventures. It wasn't like he tried to hide any of them. Quite the contrary.
So yes, I had thought about how it was going to be if I ever became so crazy to actually fall for his charm. I knew it was going to be good, but I was also well aware it was going to screw with our whole partnership as well. I wasn't ready for it. Losing him as a partner was not at all what I wanted. He was unreliable, unorthodox, so very unpredictable and borderline psychotic sometimes but he was actually a good partner. We made a great team together and that meant a lot to me.

So why was I in his car, driving to his place with the clear intention of having sex with him? Momentary insanity. There was no other explanation to it. Was I actually that much in abstinence? Of course it had been quite some time since I had done it, but not that much, right? Not so long my judgement would be clouded by lust. It didn't make sense. And yet, there I was, letting it all happen. I almost felt like I had no control over my choice. I just took a leap. It felt good in the moment but then, right there in the silence between us in his Corvette, I had started to second guess my choice.

Lucifer didn't say anything the entire ride to his place. I could feel him glancing at me from time to time while I kept staring ahead, but he never spoke a word. I was actually glad he didn't, because I was afraid he would realize the nervous mess I was at that moment. My palms were sweaty and I could feel my heart beating inside my ears. If he said anything, my facade would probably crumble and I just couldn't let it happen.
Oh God, I'm about to have sex with Lucifer. I'm really going to do this, I thought.
I tried to concentrate on the cool breeze blowing on my faced and exposed neck as we approached Lux. Regaining control on my emotions was the best thing to do. It was just going to be a one night stand, right? Lucifer was definitely not the relationship type, was he? And although the last couple weeks some things between us had started to change, it didn't mean anything. It probably was some pent up sexual tension that needed release. That was exactly what we were gonna do, blow some steam and get it over with so we could go back to being partners and solving crimes together. That was what we did best.

Once the car was parked, Lucifer got to the passenger side to open my door. I looked up before getting out of the vehicle.
"You didn't need to do that, I am perfectly capable of opening the door myself", I said.
He nodded, putting his hand on the small of my back and guiding me towards Lux's entrance. "Oh, I am well aware of that, Detective. I was just trying to be a gentleman. Does chivalry annoy you?" He asked with a smirk.
"No, I guess not", I murmured, letting it go.
His club was pretty much empty at that time, except for a few bartenders and some customers that seamed very engrossed with their drinks. No one seemed to notice us as we got into his private elevator to ride up to his penthouse.
As soon as the doors closed, his strong hands were on my waist, closing the short distance between us in a passionate kiss. That was the exact moment my last bit of caution and sanity were thrown out the window.
