Lorelai Thomas is the poster child for being a Good Girl. Well mannered, outstanding grades and a need to succeed in everything she does, its no sock that she hasnt explored the darker corners of her mind. Enter Lucifer Morningstar; charming, charismatic, and the epitome of walking desire, he dredges up feelings in Loreai she never even knew existed. But as he helps her explore those darker parts, the lines between emotional feelings and physical needs blur, leaving her wondering if she does indeed care for the man who claims to be the devil or if its purely lust. As their relationship grows, however, Lorelai isn't the only one second guessing things. Lucifer finds himself drawn to her in a way he has never experienced before. He wants her like hes never wanted anything else, but is this due to her lack of experience and interesting chase? Or something that runs a little deeper...
