Lustful Paradise

"Well, I guess you\'re not wrong..." Lucifer admitted with a sigh, though the dissatisfaction was clear in his tone. "Still, this really sucks! It feels like every time I try to take things further with you, something always manages to get in the way."

"But fine—if nothing can happen tonight, so be it. I\'ve got all the time in the world, and I\'m willing to wait. I just hope you don\'t change your mind about your feelings because, unlike with other girls, I\'d never push you into something you\'re not ready for."

"That doesn\'t mean I\'ll give up, though. If it comes to it, I\'ll make it a war of attrition—and trust me, Vanessa, sooner or later, I will conquer you."

"I won\'t lose heart, Lucifer." Vanessa smiled as she laid her head upon his shoulder. "I\'ve already gotten a taste of what it means to have an actual connection with a man, and that\'s something I never want to let go of, nor something I\'ll find elsewhere. For once in my life, I won\'t be throwing myself around mindlessly to find my own happiness—I\'ll be pursuing it with you. And if you feel that I\'ll change my mind, then I can prove to you that it won\'t happen."

Lucifer chuckled lightly as he wrapped an arm around her, running his free hand through her hair before placing a soft kiss on her forehead. "Oh... And how will you do that?"

He asked it like a rhetorical question, thinking that she didn\'t truly have an answer for his doubts.

"Let me make it official that I\'m your girlfriend from today, Lucifer." Vanessa looked up to face him while announcing it as seriously as possible.

His expression turned into surprise for a second as she continued speaking with confidence in her voice. "By doing this, the world will know that I\'m no longer single or available. I belong to someone, and that someone is you. And you\'ll also know how serious I am about this relationship. That is my answer to your question."

"Hey, now you\'re getting quite serious about this. I wasn\'t trying to pressure you into something like that." Lucifer replied with an awkward chuckle. "Besides, wouldn\'t it affect your career since you won\'t be single and available anymore? I think that is very important to some celebrities."

"No, Lucifer, you didn\'t pressure me into anything." Vanessa smiled as she looked straight into his eyes and continued. "I made this decision myself. I want the world to know that I\'m taken. And I\'m already at the top of the game in this industry that I work in. I have had enough success and don\'t need to act single for my fans. I can have a life outside of my career, and that starts with being your woman."

Seeing that Lucifer wanted to say something, she stopped him by placing her fingers upon his lips while taking her phone from the side table with another hand. "Just listen, okay?"

Then, without warning, Vanessa leaned in and kissed him while using her other hand to take a selfie.

Before Lucifer could ask her about it, Vanessa turned her phone toward him to show off the picture that was just taken. It featured Vanessa pressing her lips against Lucifer\'s, showing off their intimate position to the camera.

\'What the...!? Is she insane?!\' Lucifer was taken aback at what she had just done. \'This will create a scandal!\'

Surely, if this picture were to get leaked, it would send shockwaves throughout social media and maybe even be on the news. \'She can\'t be...\'

Vanessa just smiled and said, "I am going to post this picture on my social media accounts. Are you okay with this? Or are you worried about the rumors it will create? If so, I won\'t hesitate to delete it if you want me to."

Lucifer looked into her eyes that were eager to prove to him and to the world how serious she was about this. At this point, he was stunned. She truly went above and beyond his expectations.

She wasn\'t playing around anymore—she was willing to take things further than he ever imagined and was ready to accept the consequences.

However, was he ready to do the same?

Was he willing to put himself through the same troubles that she was willing to endure just to prove how committed she is to their relationship?

What about Gwen?

How would she react if she saw this image of them together?

She was going to be the person most hurt by their actions... But he felt something in his heart that he just couldn\'t describe.

Something within him told him that Vanessa was more important than everything.

Even Gwen.

And the temptation was too great to ignore, especially after hearing her bold declaration to be his official girlfriend from today. It felt good to hear that, and he wanted to answer that with a yes.

\'I\'ll just tell Gwen that it was for the sake of publicity for now, before revealing everything about the women in my life. Since she knows I will get intimate with Vanessa in the show, she won\'t complain that much,\' he thought.

Of course, Lucifer knew it wouldn\'t be easy to handle all the chaos that would ensue afterward, but for now, he wanted to give in to the temptation and take a risk without thinking any further.

"Okay," Lucifer whispered as he leaned closer to her. "Go ahead and share it on all your social media profiles. I don\'t care anymore about what others say. I want them to know that I am yours, and you are mine from today. Fuck the world if they can\'t handle that."

A beautiful smile bloomed on Vanessa\'s face because of his words. "Hehe... Thank you, Lucifer! I am happy to hear that!"

She gave him a deep, passionate kiss and then was about to hit the upload button when someone knocked on their room\'s door.

"Hey, Vanessa. Are you awake?"
