Chapter 28
He could not stop himself from getting close to her. Her intoxicating smell... her small fragile body
squirming away from him... He could not help but let his demons take over.
In a blink of eyes, he was on top of her, pinning her hands above her head on the bed. Her eyes were
filled with tears and held terror. The look in her eyes gave him immense pleasure.
No this cannot be happening!
She thought to herself. She was petrified. She was scared for her dignity so close to being snatched by
the man above her.
On the other hand, he was got pleasure from seeing her like this. Unable to constrain himself, he
grabbed her jaw harshly and crushed his mouth on hers, making her close her eyes shut tightly,
pressing her eyelids together. She thrashed and tried everything to get away from him, but it was
impossible the moment his heavyweight was on her.
His other hand trailed down to her body, exploring everywhere. Her smooth and soft skin melted under
his coarse touch. His hand touched her milky thigh and gave it a little squeeze that made her flinch.
She could not tolerate it anymore, she put her hands on his chest and pushed him. The kiss was
broken by him getting pushed a little by her. She could not get him to get off of her but she pushed hard
enough to create a small distance. He looked at her eyes and said nothing. There were no words,
nothing to describe what he could see in her eyes.
Peace.
That was what he could only think of at this moment. His hand stroked her cheeks softly, his fingers
trailing down her lips, lingering there a little. They were soft as petals for him.
Her mind was telling her to push him, get him off of her, and her body was trembling badly. She put her From NôvelDrama.Org.
shuddering hands on his chest and pushed him. The kiss was broken by him getting pushed by August.
He was not totally off of her, his face and chest were inches away from hers but his lower body was still
pressing against her, forbidding her body to move.
Lucifer’s eyes were glazing. It was not just lust. It was something else that was too hard to put in
words. It was the first time he had ever felt that way. It was the first time his eyes shone in a beaming
light. He felt different, he felt complete. It was not very difficult to acknowledge that he was falling for
her. He was completely in love with her. Without even knowing. Without even understanding.
He got off of her and sat on the bed. She hurriedly got up and scurried back until she reached the edge
of the bed. He did not make any moves and just stared at her. His eyes were fixed on hers, not even
moving a little.
August was scared. She was feeling dizzy. The fear she was feeling was unexplainable.
She was with a man who had blemished her the most. She felt like prey under his glazing dangerous
eyes. Her lips trembled and her breathing was slowing down. Black dots started to form in her vision.
She closed her eyes and her forehead furrowed while her hand was touching her temple; massaging
them softly so she could avoid fainting in front of him. She did not want that. She did not want him to
take advantage of her.
He watched her body falling on his bed, her eyes shutting down slowly and her hands falling on her
sides. He moved close to her and touched her face. She was burning. He frowned and took her hand
on his and rubbed her palms.
His eyes were cold as ice as he stared at her. He knew she was scared of him. He knew she would
never accept a man like him.
He thought that, rubbing her hand thoroughly, clenching his teeth.
When he stopped, his hand went back to her face, caressing her cheeks softly. Her skin was starting to
cool down. She was not sweating anymore. Her breathing had returned to normal, but she was still out
of her senses. He stood up and leaned down towards her, balancing himself by placing his left knee on
the bed, and picked her up in his arms. Her small body felt like cotton in his strong arms.
He walked out of his room, carrying the girl in his arms. His gaze was on her all the time as he walked
down the stairs only to be welcomed by the shocked and long stares from everyone downstairs. The
maids and Ela were just down the stairs, doing their usual chores when he walked down.
“Ela!” He called for her. She rushed herself to him.
“Yes, master?” She questioned.
“Bring a bowl of water and a clean cloth. Her body is burning hot.” She looked at August. “Did you even
hear me?” Lucifer growled.
Ela quickly redirected her eyes from august to her feet again and nodded her head.
“Yes, master. I will bring them right away.”
“I will take her to her room. You two, come with me.” He pointed at Isabelle and Alexa. They both
nodded their head and followed him to her room.
He was carrying her gently, carefully so that he would not wake her up. He entered her room and put
her on the bed gently, pulling the blanket over her.
The maids said nothing and stood there like a mute. It annoyed Lucifer and he turned around to them.
“Change her into something comfortable.” Even though he did not mind doing it on his own. He did not
want to rush into things. Because he knew sooner or later he would see all and he would feel all. He
smiled sadistically at the thought. He could hardly wait. But he knew he must wait. She was scared,
nervous, and uncomfortable, but he was aware soon she would give in. She would get used to him
near her, get used to his touch. And she would soon realize that she was his and there was no going
back.

Hours passed. She had woken up two hours ago but Ela had suggested she go back to sleep. She
needed it. She needed to rest. Her body temperature was normal again. Her face was not as pale as it
was before. Her pink lips were not chapped and white anymore. She was fed well with good and
healthy food. She was dressed in a pair of grey sweatpants and a light blue T-shirt. Her hair was
loosely open. The hair tie was loosely dangling from her hair. It was removed by one of the maids
there. Now her open hair was all over the pillow.
Lucifer had left for his office. He had some important papers to complete.
Lucifer was never the man who would care for someone besides his mother and siblings. Sure, Nathan
and Hazel were not so close to him as Ebenezer was. He still never discriminated against them
unfairly. When they were kids, he used to protect all three of them from every danger. But, it was
apparent he loved Ebenezer dearly. Although he never showed them.
Besides these people in his life, he never cared for a single person, not even his sad excuse of a father
who cared about nothing but money, not even his own family.
But, the arrival of August had done something to him... something magical. Something different. He
thought it would not do any good to him. He thought he wanted her body. He did want her body, he
wanted to touch her, claim her. What he didn’t know was that he was falling for her. He fell for her.
Unknowingly. Surprisingly.
He wanted her and her alone. How could someone like her bring so much peace to him?
How did she do something so impossible?
If it was not love then what was it?
It was love. It had always been love.
But it was not any prince charming who fell for the beauty,
it was the BEAST who had fallen for her.
But the Question was...
Would she ever love him back?
