Page 128 of Lucifer's Redemption

“Because her power is weakening,” Poseidon whispered, still looking out the window. “The longer you are bound by a god’s power, the harder it is for you to fight it.”

Ares grunted. “I was going to say that she was being tortured to stay awake, but I guess that works, too.”

I gasped.Both of those circumstances sound awful.

“I said enough!” Luci yelled. The lights went out in the room, the only visible light was from the small bioluminescent barnacles that decorated some of the walls. Poseidon’s armor was full of the glow, and it swayed as he sat back in his seat.

“They are safe. I know they are!” I snipped, holding back tears. Pulling out my father’s feather, which I kept between my boobs, I held it up for all to see.

“Damn,” Ares chuckled, and Luci stared down in shock.

Shrugging my shoulders, I clenched it. “What? I didn’t have any pockets in this dress.”

Luci grabbed my waist, pinching it gently. “Bunny,” he growled until I started praying with the feather wound between my fingers.

I prayed for my father to come find me, to answer me, to let me know he was alright. Seconds turned to minutes, and once the silence of ten long minutes had passed, Luci grabbed the feather from my fingers. Everyone was sitting, and my eyes fell to the floor. They all waited and watched, but nothing happened at all.

“Let’s go,” Luci grabbed my hand. The feather was carelessly dropped to the floor as he led me out of the room. The inside of the palace’s lights brightened as Luci imposed his darkening aura upon the gardens. Small fish that could be the equivalent of birds on Earth and Bergarian swam away from us.

Kelp and sea anemones swayed with the current until Luci backed me up against the garden wall, hidden from the decorative path. His eyes were ablaze and his knee pushed between my legs, which filled me hot with need. I would do anything to fulfill that need, but right now, the thought of my parents being trapped in the, once bright, palace filled me with despair.

I caused all of this. If I was never born, none of this would have happened. All these gods, humans, and supernaturals endangered because of some stupid prophecy that involved me. I wasn’t anything special, just a tiny, little goddess who barely had control over her powers.

Luci’s hardened face, softened upon seeing my weepy eyes. “Oh, bunny.” He silently cursed, pulling me into a hug. I wrapped my arms around his muscular waist. “I’m sorry about your parents.” His cheek lay on the top of my head. “We are going to get them back. That is why the whole plan was created. Ares, Poseidon, Mariah, the monsters, and I will be plenty to take him on. Zeus won’t know what hit him.”

I sniffled into his shoulder as he pulled away slightly. “If I was never born—” Luci’s hand latched around my neck. The small squeeze melted me with the reminder of how powerful he was. My hands fell from around his waist, gripping his wrists.

“My bunny shouldn’t talk like that. My good girl doesn’t talk like that.” I whimpered. “My good girl does whatever she can to please me.”

I almost purred, forgetting about the horrible whispers running through my head:If I just wasn’t here, everyone would have been happier, and no one would be in danger.

“If you were never born, bunny”—Luci’s lips broached the shell of my ear. His hot breath flowed down my neck causing my nipples to pearl against my dress—“you would have never saved me.”

I gulped as Luci’s thumb caressed the side of my neck. His grip tightened and loosened again, letting me know he was still there.

“I would be living in a box beside Kronos, slowly destroying myself because I was afraid of destroying the surrounding worlds.” The front part of Luci’s body pressed flush with mine as his heavy breaths had me grip his shoulders. “Without you, Uriel, I’d be a broken god.”

I sniffed, wiping away the lone tear streaking down my cheek.

“You see, I need you. I need you more than I need air, and you telling me that you aren’t worth it gives me a rage I’ve never experienced.” Biting my lip, I mustered enough courage to investigate his fiery eyes. “Now tell me, bunny, how are you going to make this up to me? How can you let me know you will never think like this again, and will go back to being the good girl who has such a spark for life?” Luci’s grip loosened, and his thumb tickled my chin. A sparkle in his eye glimmered, and my hands fell from his shoulders.

Luci helped me forget all about my worries with just his touch, his words, and that deep feeling inside my chest that could suffocate me at the same time. The bond between us grew tenfold since we mated, and I couldn’t wait to explore this beautiful gift his mother gave us. I quickly dried my tears. I knew my Luci wanted to see the playful me, not the one that wished life was never given to her.

And I wanted nothing more than toplease him.

My fingers fiddled with each other, picking at my fingernails. Luci’s impatient growl had me pushing my thighs together. Surely, he didn’t want to do somethingout here?Biting my lip and pulling it with the bluntness of my teeth, I traced his silver belt buckle, tugging it with one of my fingers.

“Bunny…” His low growl went straight to that clit thingy he likes to play with.

My knees fell to the soft sand that outlined the stone wall, cushioning to my knees. Luci was groaning, his hand falling to my head and squeezing for me to hurry. Butterflies erupted in my stomach as I peeled away layer after layer of fabric that kept his thick shaft from me.

“So good,” he hummed, petting my hair.

With a newfound excitement, I pulled it out. It was already hard, thick, and angry as it stared back at me. Taking my tongue, I licked the leaky tip. Luci’s hissing didn’t go unnoticed. Licking him from tip to base, and holding his balls with one hand, I nipped the underside of the tip. He used one arm to lean up against the wall.

“Bunny,” he growled with his hand gripping my hair.

I smiled, fluttering my lashes as I graced his cock with my lips. He tried valiantly to muffle his growls. We were outside, and servants walked through the garden tending to the foliage. It felt so naughty to be out here like this, but the excitement running through me pushed me forward. I soared with this new level of confidence.
