"He's probably growing flowers for your wedding bouquet right now."
"Shut up, Samael. No, he's not."
"He's putting together a trousseau as we speak. Where's the honeymoon going to be?"
"Shut up."
"Okay. But I get to be best man."
She didn't respond.
"Are you getting sleepy, Granger?"
"Yes."
"Do you want me to leave?"
"No."
"My arse hurts."
She snorted. "I'd help you out, but I don' want you coming all'over my bed."
"I tried to warn you earlier. You knew what you were doing."
"I know. I wanted to make you come."
"You're a dirty girl, Granger."
"That wasn' dirty. Jus' a little teasing."
"You sound tired. Go to sleep."
"Sleep. 'Kay." She sat bolt upright, slapping her hand over her mouth.
"Bloody hell," Samael sputtered. "What's the matter with you?"
"Love you," she whispered
"What?"
"I think I told him I loved him when I was high on sleeping potion."
"You think?"
"I was kind of doped up."
"Has he said anything?"
"No."
"Then maybe you just dreamed it."
"Hmm." She didn't really believe that.
"Maybe you said it, and he didn't hear. Maybe he was asleep."
"No, he was awake."
"Did you mean it?"
"I . . ." Of course, she did. "Yes." It was such a simple word for such a complicated situation.
Samael smiled. 'Told you so...'
"Are you going to ask him if he heard you?"
"I don't know. What if it scares him off?" She flopped back onto the pillow with a groan.
"How many times do I have to tell you? He's in love with you."
"That doesn't mean he won't be freaked out by me saying it."
"Okay, that might be true. But if he was going to run, he would have done it by now."
"You think?"
"I know." He thought for a minute. "Maybe this was the best way you could have said it."
"What do you mean?"
"Well . . . you told him how you felt, and he didn't have to respond or even acknowledge that you said it. All the awkwardness was taken out of the equation. Do you need him to say it back?"
"No, I'm happy with the way things are."
"Then it's perfect."
Hermione could see what he meant.
Lucifer's inability to talk about his feelings had been completely bypassed. There was no confrontation.
'When the hell did Samael become the voice of reason?' She closed her eyes, hoping the sleepiness would settle over her again.
"Maybe you're right."
"If you would just listen to me about everything, you'd save yourself a lot of trouble."
"Yes, yes, you're brilliant," she muttered. "Bloody hell, my heart's still pounding."
"I'll get you something," he said, climbing out of bed.
"Get me what?"
"I don't know. I'll figure out something."
"That's reassuring."
He left her in the dark and padded back through the bathroom.
She heard him rooting around, looking for God knows what.
Something fell, and he cursed.
Hermione smiled. Her eyes felt heavy, but her body wouldn't calm down.
He finally came back and lay down next to her.
"Here, Granger." He found her hand in the dark and pressed a phial into it.
"What is it?"
"Something Lucifer gave me for you."
"What? Why didn't you give it to me?"
"It was just an insurance kind of thing. Take as needed."
"What is it?"
"Some kind of calming potion. He said if you got too mental, then give it to you."
Hermione rolled over and lit her wand, inspecting the phial.
It was the same Tranquility Draught he always gave her.
"Excellent." She tipped it back.
"Samael saves the day again," he drawled.
"Thank you, Samael."
"Don't mention it, "
She put out her wand light and curled back under the covers. "Hey?" she whispered.
"Why are we whispering?" he whispered back.
"Because I'm trying to go to sleep."
"Oh. Okay. What?"
"How many girls have Lucifer slept with? Or boys. Whatever he's into."
"Knowing your jealous nature. You shouldn't even ask...?"
"Come on, just give me a guess?'
"A few...."
"What's a few?"
"I don't know."
"So . . . one?"
He sighed. 'It could be over past 11909 by now...or did I miss a couple of zeroes...?'
"Why do you want to know?"
"Did he ever done anything embarrassing, sexually I mean, for a girl?"
"You mean like let another man paddle him so he could come on her arse, something along those lines?"
Hermione cringed. "Yes. Is that the most embarrassing thing he'd done?"
"I'm traumatized from the stuff I had already seen. You shouldn't poke into it too much."
"I'm serious, Samael."
"I am too. Don't ask me regarding this."
"Isn't your arse getting better now?"
Samael sighed, this girl is really quite manipulating...."Yeah, it's about half-healed. I checked when I was in bathroom."
"Good."
"Why are you asking me all this? Do you think I'm going to betray Lucifer's deep dark secrets?"
"No. I just . . . I was curious."
"What's the most embarrassing thing you've done?"
"That's hard to say."
"Because there are so many or because you don't want to tell me what they are?"
"Both."
Samael chuckled in the dark. "Is it that bad?"
"Well . . . I don't regret doing any of it, but I wouldn't want anyone else to know."
"What's worse, that you did something embarrassing or that you enjoyed it?"
"I don't know. Either way, I don't want anyone to find out."
"Tell me one, Granger. You know I'm not going to tell anybody. I already know what you're into. Of all the people to tell, I might be the least surprised to hear it."
"I can't."
"Is it dirtier than fingering his arse?"
"Samael!"
"Well, is it?"
"Some of it is."
"Oh, you have to tell me now."
Her face flushed hot. She was sure he could see her blushing, even in the dark.
"No, I really can't. It was hard enough for me to ask you to spank me tonight."
"Really? You love spanking."
"Begging for it is entirely different. And I did NOT love your spanking tonight. That really hurt."
"It was meant to. You enjoyed the first half, didn't you?"
"That didn't cancel out the second half."
"I'll try to make it up to you someday."
The Tranquillity Draught starting to kick in, the room slowly rotating.
She closed her eyes again. "I have a feeling Lucifer's going to make me do something humiliating soon. In front of you."
"How do you know?"
"He's already suggested it."
"When's it gonna happen?"
"Dunno. After Yule Ball."
"You are going with him, right?"
"Mmhm..I even got permission to buy the dress and we agreed to go whatever it was right there....."
"Don't you think Eve is going to be a problem?"
"She will probably ask him for the Ball...I am going to be around Lucifer all the time."
"If you say so. What's he want to do?"
"I don' wanna say."
"Give me hint."
"Too embarrassing."
"Does it involve your mouth, your pussy, or your arse?"
"Prob'ly all of the above."
He buried his face in the pillow to muffle his laughter. "I'm intrigued."
"Would'ju do something humiliating to me if he asked you?"
"Do you mean humiliating for me or for you?"
"Maybe for you, if you've nev'r done it."
"Would it be painful?"
"No."
"I'd consider it. I wish you'd tell me what the hell we're talking about. I feel like we're speaking in riddles."
Hermione thought for a minute. "Did'ju mean what you said about wanting to be in my bum?"
"Hell yes. Is that what this is about?"
"Sort of."
"Sort of?" He laughed. "I already know you fancy having your arse filled, Granger. Is that your embarrassing secret?"
"Whattif you weren't using your dick?"
"What? You mean like my finger?"
"R'something else."
Something else? "Do you mean a part of my body or a foreign object?"
"Part've your body."
"You mean like a toe or something? That seems more kinky than embarrassing."
"Not a toe."
"I don't have much else that'll— Do you mean my tongue?!"
He sounded pretty shocked.
Hermione squeezed her eyes shut and didn't say anything.
"Oh my, Granger! That's . . ." Samael didn't know what to say.
It wasn't something he'd really thought about before.
"I tol' him you wouldn't wan'to."
"Now just hold on a second. You've got to give me a chance to think about it." Some very dirty scenarios flickered through his mind.
"Have you done this before?"
"Yes."
'That perverted bastard.' "And you liked it?"
"Yes."
"Did he?"
"As far as I could tell."
"How clean is it?"
"Oh my God," she muttered. "Very. He's extremely thorough beforehand."
Samael figured he should have guessed that.
Lucifer was fastidious about everything (except his own hair). "Have you done it to him?"
"OhmyGod. Please don'ask me any more questions."
"Bloody hell, you have! What's it taste like?"
She covered her face with her hands as if the dark weren't concealing enough. "Like skin."
Samael knew by the muffled sound of her voice that she was hiding.
He laughed into the pillow again. "Oh fuck, Granger! That's pretty fucking kinky. Do you really want me to?"
"I don' know."
"Well, I won't do it for 'I don't know.' You better be damn sure you want it before I agree."
"You mean you'll do it?"
"If you tell me you want it and you promise it'll be clean."
"Really?" she asked, turning to him.
"You better really mean it. I'm not doing something like this for a laugh."
"I mean it."
"You'll have to do better than that."
"Samael, I want you lick my bum so much I'm creaming myself just thinking about it."
He laughed. "All right then. Is this what you were so embarrassed about?"
"Um . . . sort of."
"There's more?"
"Yes."
"Are you going to tell me?"
"No. I really can't. It'll be bad enough if I have t'show you."
"I guess I can wait."
Hermione played through possible scenarios, picturing what Lucifer might have in store for her.
She wasn't going to be able to think about anything else the next day.
Samael wondered what she was so embarrassed about.
He didn't know what Lucifer's angle was suggesting such a scene.
There was always an ulterior motive with him....
"Hermione?" he whispered.
Her breathing had become slow and even.
She didn't answer.
He fell asleep on top of her covers, too tired of becoming one with Lucifer for the night....
The device was just boosted using his blood, so it didn't get him too worried...
