Eternal Melody

Chapter 1014 My Beautiful Monster Part 115

SUMIRE/NORAH

Sumire played with Lucifer's hair. 'He actually stayed beside me. Maybe what happened earlier was exhausting?' From what she has seen of Lucifer's curse in this life, it takes a lot more mental and physical strain on him. Jacks explained that's why he had to build a harem.

'He needs to feed a lot more. He can't take blood from guys, or even random women. He has to feed from those with special blood. From hanyous and evolved humans.'

That curse, that woman is truly dead. The moment she finds her, this time without fail she would destroy her. She knew her current self would agree when she gets this body back.

She hears a knock on the door. Sumire?drapes Lucifer's cloak around her shoulders and stands up, before walking over to the door and opening it.

It was Toh, he looked exhausted.

Subconsciously, she reached over and caressed his cheek. "Are you alright?"

"Much better seeing your okay beautiful."

"Do you want to come-" Sumire paused.

The room reeked of hers and Lucifer's love making.

"-take a walk with me?"

Toh paused and shook his head. "I don't think the Lord would appreciate that."

Sumire bit her lip. "He, does he make you do that often?"

Toh nodded. "I've never really refused before. But, when I try. He uses his voice to compel me."

"I'll speak to him about-"

"You can't stop him. I don't know what kind of person he was before. But in this life, he is ruthless."

"Do you know about-"

Toh nodded. "Lucifer told me."

"I--"

"Sumire." Toh said sharply. "Come back with me. The threats to your life are still there so I'm reluctant to take you. But, you can't stay here with him."

"I love him."

Toh shakes his head. "When you get your memories back, you won't be saying that. You hate him, you always have."

"Is that really true?" Sumire questioned.

A complicated look flashed through Toh's face and for a moment she worried she offended him. But, Toh simply sighs.

"I suppose you're right, you've never hated him. You resented his methods, but not him."

Sumire quickly closed the door behind her and tugged on Toh's arm. "Can we go on that walk after all? I have a few questions."

Toh nodded and Sumire walked beside him as he led her to a quieter place. The entire time she finds herself stealing glances at him, her heart beating at every stolen glance.

'She truly must like him, but then why is she with Sora? My current self is very complicated.'

"You really aren't Sumire huh?"

Sumire blinked. "What makes you think so?"

Toh chuckled. "She would never?have stared at me so shamelessly without turning into a tomato."

Sumire averted her gaze and coughs. "Well, it's not like I don't understand. Your very good looking, she has some really inappropriate thoughts about you."

Toh paused, blinking surprised and she raised her eyebrow. "You didn't know?"

He shakes his head. "I didn't-" Toh trails off. "Old thoughts?"

"No, fairly new ones. Unless, you were living together with her and her three children before she gave birth to them-"

Seeing Toh still in disbelief. Sumire paused, does he really not know? She thinks back to how her current self acted when mentioning Toh.

Mashima Toh is certainly the reason why her current self didn't notice the connection with Lucifer. The heart can be fickle, but it can be loyal too. Even with so many threads and potential love interests, it can only be divided into two. Right now, one half belongs to Yi- Yuhi, and the other must belong to Mashima Toh.

'Lex, you're really going to have to work harder. I do, want to be with you in this life too. However, once again, fate seems to be playing tricks. I missed you Lex, I really did. But, it's not just fate. I also, wanted to see Sora again.'

"How long?" Toh suddenly asked.

"Until I give birth. If, my feeling is correct. That should be within the next week."

It's too short for her liking. However, being given this time is already a luxury. Aoi-san bent some rules again for her sake. Her present self too, saw the desperation, and the longing when she mentioned Lex.

Toh paused and nodded. "I think you need to have a nice long talk with the Lord while you're still in this state. It's not like he won't listen to your current self. But, I think he will see reason and minimise the damage the organisation is causing."

Sumire bites her lip. "I noticed, you're not asking me to tell him to stop."

"He can't be stopped already." Toh shakes his head. "I'm on your side, on Sumire's side no matter what happens. However, the Lord's cause. His justice, is something I believe in even now. Otherwise I wouldn't have put up being in the organisation for so long."

Lex justice? Images of his vision for their future, for their people flashed through her mind. But, deep down she already knew that?what Toh was referring too was different. Sumire wanted to reply but she felt a sharp pain across the bond. Lex? She turns back to the hallway worried.

Toh follows her gaze. "Go, it's better than him losing control."

Sumire bows and quickly rushes down. It didn't take long before she reached the room. Taking a deep breath, she knocks on the door. Not hearing a reply, she enters the room. Lucifer was still on the bed but he was tossing and turning uncomfortably.

Sumire draped herself over Lucifer's chest, only to feel his hands on her back seconds later. "You're awake?"

"Who was at the door?" Lucifer asked.

"Toh." Sumire paused. "He asked me to come with him."

Lucifer growled and Sumire shook her head. "It's alright, just now I felt you-" She looks him up and down. "Where does it hurt love? Let me help you."

At those words Lucifer grabs hold of her hand and places it lower and lower. She rolls her eyes and sighs.

"How foolish." Sumire mumbled as she leaned forward and nibbled on his lips. "We can do this anytime, but you require sustenance. You must feed love."

'His pupils have turned almost black. In our fifth life, when Lex started to lose control more. I noticed how his eyes changed colour. It's usually a sign that the beast is going to take over. I can handle him, like I did the previous times. However, I don't want to waste time fighting him.'

Sumire's thoughts break off feeling a sharp prick on her neck. She tilts her head back giving him better access, as she ran her fingers through his hair.

'Take more love. Take it all.'
