Author's Note: I'm back. So sorry for the long wait. I've got loads going on. I really hope you guys aren't too upset with me.
I wanted to address this quickly: I've had a couple of negative reviews about the last chapter and one of them said I should've given a warning. First of all, I actually think this story being rated M (plus the SMUT bit in the summary) was enough of a warning for consensual sex scenes.
Secondly, if it was because of the fact that there was another man fucking Lucifer's brains...mouth out... well, I hope that whoever is left reading this story didn't mind as I find it's quite accurate to his character ;) and accurate to this story as it's based on Lucifer and Chloe having a friends with benefits situation.
And lastly, it would've ruined the surprise I had been planning with that chapter. Even if I would've just wrote (chapter contains M/M scene).
Also. I kinda *cough* hate *cough* pierce :D so in this fic there will be no mention of him. I'm going with the female Lieutenant from season 1.
Anyway... I hope there's still some people left who enjoy this story as much as I've enjoyed writing it :))
Lucifer changed quickly into one of his 'casual' three pieces suits while his companion for... well, half the night already stepped out.
Meanwhile, Chloe stepped out of the elevator, walking over to one of the barstools, sitting down with the intention of waiting for Lucifer.
Quickly though she noticed something she must've overlooked when she was so rudely awoken by her Lieutenant. She could feel her pubic bone being slightly bruised. Especially the way she slung only one leg over the barstool, made it somewhat of a pressing matter. She smiled to herself after standing again. Thank god no one saw her basically jumping off that chair. Something inside her told her that she was fine with her soreness. More than fine actually. Sure, she'd need this weekend now more than before but she didn't mind being reminded of their hot bathroom fuck.
She hadn't had sex in years. Yes, she shouldn't feel ashamed of that. But she could've definitely gotten herself some. But in between Trixie and Dan... and Lucifer and work... everything just piled up and it's not like she was up for some one night stands with god knows who, she met on Tinder. Let's not even mention that she didn't even have the time to write back and forth, getting to know someone.
This thing she had with Lucifer now was looking more promising by the minute. Then again... should she be worried that he's sleeping around with other people that may not be...clean. But he said he was usually always a responsible...Devil. Chloe reminded herself.
Before her mind could wander some more, the elevator pinged and it announced that the hunk, Lucifer had in his mouth earlier was...finished off and about to pass her to exit Lux.
Ben saw Chloe as soon as the doors open and with the earlier felt adrenaline fading off now, he turned a little shy. He scratched the back of his neck while walking the corridor towards the door. You could almost call it a walk of shame, although Ben had zero fucks left in him to give ;)
He stopped in front of Chloe, not even looking at her but tilting his head up a little "Sorry...you had to see that."
Chloe was still baffled herself but felt bad for the guy. He clearly came down from his high and grew a conscience. It made her chuckle on the inside.
"I'm-" not she nearly let slip past her lips "...the one who barged in. I should be sorry." Damn it, Lucifer and his half-truths or non-lies are contagious... She, of course, wasn't even sorry she saw that. Actually, if she were honest, she found it quite hot. Quite...insanely hot!
Ben only nodded and quirked up his lips in a smile of gratitude before exiting Lux.
Quickly after that, Lucifer descended and fixed his cufflinks before approaching Chloe.
"Quite the surprise, Detective." And wasn't his smirk just something that she'd gladly wipe off his face.
Chloe knew that if she'd indulge into the topic, it would become very obvious for him that she actually enjoyed the show and she wouldn't live it down.
"Yes, well the Lieutenant surprised me, too when she woke me up."
Lucifer noticed the change of topic but didn't seem to mind. He'd wait for what the night still held.
He motioned for Chloe to go first and as soon as she was in front of him, he playfully smacked her right butt cheek.
Chloe yelped at the sudden contact Lucifer's hand made with her ass and turned around while walking out of the empty club. "Stop that. We're working, Lucifer." She replied in a non-playful tone.
Which didn't stop Lucifer from keeping his smirk on his face like it was a constant fixture. "Of course, Detective. I'll try to focus on work and not on you swaying your delicious behind in front of me."
Chloe just about saw Lucifer lick his lips before she turned around again, rolling her eyes while smiling happily with rosy cheeks.
It took Chloe only about 10 minutes to arrive at the crime scene, all the while listening to Lucifer's horny innuendos while definitely not getting turned on herself. She was on the job and just as there was no drinking on the job, there was also no room for sex. In any form! Although she guessed Lucifer made up one form entirely, being: sex on legs.
Just before they both exited the vehicle Chloe stopped Lucifer as she grabbed onto his jacket, making him turn to look at her with those dark brown eyes which held a burning desire in them. Does he never stop? We're at a crime scene god damn it!
"Uhm... I've been meaning to ask..." Chloe thought of how to word her question when in the meantime, Lucifer finished her sentence his way "...if we can try anal? Certainly, Detective. It'll be...both our pleasures." he gave her a wink and a very distracting look.
Chloe rolled her eyes while shaking her head. She had a serious question on her mind and couldn't even be distracted by his suggestion of anal play. "No, I mean... can we keep this..." she motioned with her hand in between them "...under wraps? I don't want anybody... in my business." She explained conservatively.
"Anyone else you mean?" Lucifer understood the question and he was fine with it, but didn't he just love to frustrate the woman currently holding onto his jacket?!
Chloe huffed exasperatedly "Seriously, Lucifer. I don't want anyone to know that we're..." An even if she was angry with him already, he couldn't resist "...fucking each other?" with a gleam in his eyes. Chloe just rolled her eyes but agreed "Yes." And even she couldn't hide that tiny smile that came to her lips at his childishness. He was certainly giddy, finally getting what he'd wanted from day one of them meeting each other.
Lucifer saw her ghost of a smile and his grew wider. He loved that she finally let go of her pent-up tension and that he was the reason for it.
"Don't worry, Detective. It'll be our dirty little secret for as long as you like." Oh and wasn't that a promise in itself?
"Good...night, Ella" Chloe said cheerfully... well, as cheerful as one is at a crime scene.
"Hey Chloe, Lucifer. Yeah... good night to you, too, guys."
"Lovely evening to you, too Miss Lopez."
And it was back to business. "What do we have?" Chloe asked the forensic scientist. "Meet Robbie Mathews and Rachel White. Looks like they were drugged unconscious and then someone literally smashed their chests in!" she pointed to the two dead bodies in the convertible.
Chloe inspected the bodies while asking "Do we know how they were drugged?" to which Ella answered that her best guess was that the killer used some form of anesthetic. With a shameful expression on her face, Chloe pointed out "Even crushed their ribs and their sternum..." where Lucifer jumped in to finish her sentence "and finally their hearts..."
Lucifer was back to business as well, just like he promised the Detective, that he'd 'try' and focus. "...it's not hard to figure out what the desire was here."
Chloe agreed "Well, the killer was clearly trying to send a message."
"That he couldn't stand this couple's relationship?" he asked matter of factly but rambled on with his own ideas of what could've happened "So what? we think maybe she had a jealous stalker?"
Looking over to Chloe who had her own idea "Or an angry ex?! We need to talk to anyone who had a problem with this relationship"
Suddenly Lucifer had a funny thought "Yes, maybe their spouses?" To which he earned questionable looks from both, Chloe and Ella who pushed him to explain "Yes, maybe these two had a secret sort of relationship, don't you think that could be the case, Detective?"
He shot her a wink and Chloe's eyes went big before she remembered there were other people around. She blinked quickly, making it seem like she was digesting Lucifer's idea. "Yeah, sure. Could be. Either way, we need to talk to their closest friends and family and potential haters."
The ride back to the precinct was filled with a conversation Chloe had through the car's Bluetooth with one of the officers who found out that indeed, the male had a wife which meant Lucifer was right, he was cheating on his wife with Rachel White and that the wife should be called in for questioning. The officer assured Chloe's that he'd make the call and hopefully have her at the precinct only a little after they would get in themselves.
"Looks like we have a little time to kill, Detective. Got anything in mind?"
She couldn't help but crack a shy smile. How would she be able to deal with this every day from now on? It's not like anything changed really, Lucifer wasn't even more obscene than normally. It's just that now, Chloe was the one not oppressing filthy thoughts which made her unfocused some of the time. Okay, all of their alone time.
"God, Lucifer. We're working."
"Urgh.. please refrain from doing that, Detective. It's a real mood killer. Besides, we're not actually working. We need to wait for our suspect to arrive. There's literally nothing to be done... work wise anyway." He finished with a wink and suddenly Chloe remembered a little bit of their game night where Lucifer said they'd have to change the fact that she had never had sex at work.
She ignored the first comment but was curious about whether her thoughts held any merit "Are you trying to have sex with me at work to tick a box?" she asked trying to hold in her laughter.
"Why, yes, of course, Detective. I think it would make a wonderful addition to your filthy fantasies...which, by the way, you still haven't told me much about. Why is that? You think you could make the Devil blush?..." his voice dropped about 2 or 3 octaves before he went on "...Oh, please do try!"
Chloe knew the shiver was coming before she felt it rush over her shoulders and down her back. Only Lucifer could make it seem normal to talk about her dirty dreams and then round a corner, lower his voice and immediately make you envision every possible, filthy scenario you could think of that involved the Devil's fingers, tongue or his well-endowed manhood.
But since they were in this together, Chloe strived for equality. At least she'd get Lucifer to feel a shiver or two himself while hopefully having to focus on something else to not show a reaction to the exciting things she'd put on his mind.
"Do you really think I couldn't make you blush? What do you think I am, Lucifer? A nun?..." This time her voice dropped lower before she finished "...Please..." leaving her sentence open for interpretation while looking at him intently through her lashes.
She could definitely see her reply plus her look was moving something inside him, possible outside of him as well, though she wasn't going to look. She wouldn't give him that satisfaction. Not yet anyway. Not at all! This weekend. Stop it, you pervert. She told herself after having thought about what she could do with him before returning home. Nothing. You're going to sleep, remember? You only had about 2 hours of that.
She bit her lip. Already not listening to her own advice again while continuing to look at the road ahead.
"You're certainly doing something to me, biting those delicious lips of yours. And funnily, I think you're well aware you are, aren't you Detective?"
It was his dangerously sexy tone, Chloe knew and it held a promise. Along the lines off 'if you think this is a game, I'm in.' or in less PG13: 'if you tease me some more, I'll make you stop this damn car and take you right there on the hood!'
Chloe's cheeks flared up at the thought. God, how hot would that be?... probably similar to that number he did to me in the backseat...of this car.
And if Lucifer heard right, a choked off moan escaped the Detective's lip. He'd give plenty of pennies for her thoughts right now. Though he knew that asking wouldn't get him far.
"I dare you to tell me what exactly it was you were just thinking about!"
To which Chloe quickly turned around to meet his eyes. A hint of something malicious in them, otherwise full with delicious desire.
"uhmm.. nothi-.." she cut herself off. Thinking about what Lucifer's only rule was in this new relationship they started 'No lies...in fact... that is my rule, Detective. There will be no lies in this relationship."
"...Uhhhm..." she started again and Lucifer waited patiently for her corrected reply, thinking about what he'd do to her once she doesn't go through with it.
Meanwhile, Chloe just said 'Fuck it'.
"I thought about how your tone sounded like a dangerous promise. Like if I didn't stop teasing you, as you do me, I just might add, you'd make me stop the car and have me over the hood." She managed as nonchalantly as she could muster and as fast as she could, trying not to laugh at how ridiculously hot it sounded and that that fact wasn't making her the least bit shy, especially not with the look Lucifer was shooting her, like he'd somehow deliver right this second and that thought made her cheeks flare up even more.
Lucifer himself was caught off guard that Chloe actually let him into her dirty thoughts and wasn't he sorry he asked right about now?! They were about 5 minutes from the precinct and his trousers suddenly felt an awful lot tighter than they were a couple of seconds ago.
"Look at you, Detective. Making yourself blush. You might actually have a chance." He finished with his voice getting a little husky.
To put the cherry on top, Chloe turned to Lucifer, looked him dead in the eye, parted her mouth and gave him a slow wink, thinking she'd look at least a little sexy. Little did she know that she nearly got Lucifer's pants to explode with such a seemingly tiny detail. Yet, he was again, totally caught off guard and it made him all the more hot for her. And bothered that he couldn't just have her. She made that pretty clear, although she certainly didn't mind teasing or being teased. He'd show her that sooner or later she would mind. Quite a lot.
Chloe stepped into the precinct, Lucifer behind her, for sure checking out her rear again but she didn't mind. In fact, she put a little more sway in it to distract the Devil a little more. That couldn't hurt, could it? After all, they weren't working. Not yet anyway.
She approached the officer she called on her way there and asked when about the suspect would come in and he told her that it would be about another half hour.
Chloe made it seem like she didn't notice the pointed look Lucifer was giving her on receiving the news, she just continued her walk to her desk and sat down, starting her pc to open up the new case.
Lucifer stepped behind her, slightly hovering over her stool "You heard the man. Half an hour, Detective. A lot can happen in that time."
Him and his sexy, husky voice had Chloe's juices flowing but she kept her cool and kept up the teasing "Yeah I know..." she replied in the same husky tone she had before but then dropped it, switching back to her usual one "like going over the case again so we know all the facts and don't make any mistake interrogating the wife."
An audible huff came from behind her and she knew she won that little battle.
Lucifer let himself fall into the chair across the desk but maneuvered it so he could sit next to Chloe, making it seem that for once, Lucifer was paying attention when he was just seizing every possible opportunity, where nobody was watching, to glide his fingers over the Detective's arms and legs. Basically, whatever was near and got her distracted enough to type a word wrong or have her roll her eyes. Every reaction was a win for him.
In an awfully good American accent, Lucifer suddenly spoke while coming closer to her as she just whisked her arm away, making her fingers press the wrong keys "Stop that. We're working, Chloe." He mimicked her own tone as well as the accent and on top of that, he used her first name which, just like his pet name for her got her all riled up, with the difference that her first name was a rare occurrence and it sent an extra jolt up her body.
Lucifer certainly noticed and came just a little bit closer to whisper sweet...something into her ear.
But just at that moment, the officer came over to their desk which startled Chloe a bit, though nobody who didn't know her inside out would've taken notice. "Mrs. Mathews is in the interrogation room now for you."
"Thank you." Chloe replied nicely and smiled at the officer.
"Let's go." She informed Lucifer as she got up from her seat with a heavy breath that she let out, not noticing she had held it.
"After you, my dear."
Chloe rolled her eyes, seemingly back in her element again "Is it gonna be like this from now on?" she asked annoyed.
"Oh, I certainly hope so!" Lucifer leaned down to whisper it into her ear, making her freeze for a moment there before continuing in the direction of the interrogation room.
"Good night Mrs. Mathews. I'm sorry about your husband..." to which the victim's wife nodded politely and wiped the tears from her eyes for the umpteenth time that night, so Chloe continued "...and that we had to bring you in at this hour but it's really important so I hope you can answer some questions for us."
Between sighs and sobs, the wife tried to control her breathing and answered "Sure."
"We found your husband in the car with..." Chloe looked down to her file, making sure she was saying the right name. "...Miss Rachel White. Do you know her?"
Mrs. Mathews nodded and frowned and in disgust, making it obvious that she hated the woman, quite possibly because of her relationship with her own husband.
Before Chloe could ask if she indeed knew about her husband's cheating, Lucifer was being... Lucifer. "and let me guess, you knew he was cheating on you with her so you had them both brutally killed?"
"No!" the wife got louder, shocked by his accusation.
"Don't lie now." Lucifer looked her deep in the eye and apparently she was one of those 'easier' cases and didn't even need to be asked what her desire was. She spilled either way "No, I didn't kill them. Of course, I knew about the affair. It's not like either of them had enough brain cells to even try keeping it a secret. What? Like late night working hours are suddenly normal and become more frequent than ever? And by ever I mean before he met...Rachel... he never worked 'late' one day in that job."
Lucifer looked over to Chloe who shared his expression. The often understood each other in interrogations just by reading each other's expressions and just like this time, they both told the other they believed the suspect.
"If you knew your husband was cheating, why didn't you just divorce him?" Chloe had to ask this question but she also desperately wanted to know for herself what kind of reason there would be to stay married to your partner if he is cheating on.
"And lose my house? My friends? Possibly my job? No thank you! It didn't matter so much to me that he was getting... serviced somewhere else. There were way too many positive things in our relationship to count that as that big of a negative to divorce him over it. And even if you don't believe me. I did, still, love my husband.
Strange..
But as soon as that thought came to Chloe's mind, a second one struck at lightning speed, explaining everything. It's L.A. afterall.
After the release of the victim's wife, Chloe and Lucifer dug into both the victim's personal data, working through possible suspects, getting a list together of people who lived in the area that had motive to kill them and who they were going to pay a visit the next day.
"Well, Rachel's ex is happily married and currently spending his honeymoon on Hawaii where he's probably getting a lovely workout right about now."
Chloe's looked over to Lucifer who was going over the ex's social media photos.
"Tell me, Detective, why aren't we so lucky? I mean there's nothing to be done anymore for today, why don't we do eachother?"
It seemed like Lucifer was beyond bored. He didn't even make an effort of disguising his suggestion as teasing which had Chloe chuckling.
"If you wanna go home Lucifer, it's fine. I'm just gonna finish this list of suspects that we need to go through tomorrow. Then I'm going home myself."
"but I don't want to go home by myself. I'm rather delighted to stay here. Just not doing paperwork."
And maybe Chloe was bored as well, and tired, also she felt a certain rush to have the man who claims to be the Devil sitting next to her in such a vulnerable moment.
"Doing me you mean?" she asked cheekily which got her a quick turn of Lucifer's head, who was already lost in that guy's social media account again but suddenly lost all interest in it. His eyes lit up instantly and his boredom was history.
"Well, that's not gonna happen today. Jeez, I mean do you ever not think about sex?" nope, not Chloe's frustrated tone, her teasing one.
"Nope. Never really. And certainly not when there's a horny Detective sitting next to me." He winked at her, slowly moving his upper body into her direction while whispering. "Because there is no way you're not."
Shit. Can't lie. Can't lie. Can't lie...
"Why would you think that? There's no indication that I am... " she dared a look down Lucifer's upper body only to stop where his trousers began "...unlike..."
Lucifer huffed out a laugh. Oh, we'll see about that.
And even though Chloe didn't hear Lucifer's thought, she might as well have because the expression on his face said it all: Game on!
Yes, I'm fairly sorry it's so short. Very aware there isn't any smut but I still hope you enjoyed the teasing cause DAD knows I did writing it ;)
As I said I've got a lot on my mind right now, plus it's raging hot right now. Hehe, I'm writing this outside in my garden as it is because I couldn't cope being stuck inside so apologies if the next chapter isn't going to be for a while. Gotta enjoy the weather if I get a little free time :)
And I live to read your reviews so please, please tell me what you thought. They honestly make my day!
