Author Pov

Even though her heart was drumming in her ears while the fear in her body was kept on increasing she still managed to grab his both hands in her tiny palms and give them a light squeeze.

Lucifer narrowed his eyes at her staring at her actions. He expected her to either burst out on him or simply pull his hair off their roots as her anger has always been the worst enemy of hers but he didn't expect her to be this calm.

"What should I do to make you believe that I care for you? I genuinely am trying to accept you as you are. Your every personality is a part of you and when I said I care for you I meant I care about all of you, not just the normal Lucifer."

Lucifer gulped down as he stared at her sitting beside him. Her eyes met his hazel ones and he didn't miss the adoration in her green eyes. It's so weird for him to see these kinds of emotions in her eyes. Well specifically for the aggressive Lucifer.

"What do you mean by normal Lucifer? So you mean I am fucking abnormal." He said with ridiculous expressions. Catelin bit her tongue for unconsciously telling him about that name she has given to his personality.

"No, I didn't mean that." He narrowed his eyes as he placed his palms beside her body on the fluffy sofa and leaned his body forward to her making her lean back.

"Then what did you mean huh? What name you have given me? " He asked still leaning down against her.

"N-Nothing just Lucifer." She said still leaning her body backward making him smirk.

She gasped out feeling her back touching the sofa as she was laid flat on the sofa and in a second his body was above hers completely trapping her between the sofa and his body.

He leaned his face down to her level making her heart run a marathon. She gulped visibly as he leaned down to her ear brushing his beard cheek against hers.

"Tell me doll what's my identity name?" He whispered making her balled up her palms in anticipation. She took a shaky breath feeling his lips brushing against her earlobe and unconsciously she mumbled.

"Aggressive Psycho Lucifer." He heard her whisper and soon his face twisted with a look of 'what the fuck'

He pulled away from her ear and leaned back a little staring down at her. Catelin opened her eyes and they instantly widened when she realized what she has done.

"Really aggressive psycho Lucifer fucking really." He repeated still keeping disbelief dancing in his eyes. He couldn't believe she had named him that shitty.

"I mean it's not my fault you always behave so aggressively and also that night don't you remember what you did? " She said gulping down remembering how scared she was that night.

His eyes instantly soften and a feeling of guilt started rising in his chest. He till to this day regrets telling the story of his torture on that bastard. He doesn't regret almost killing the shit but he does regret scaring her and making her believe that he is indeed a psycho.

He pulled his one hand away from the sofa and placed it on her cheek caressing it. They both stared into each other's eyes and then again the glimpse of normal Lucifer appeared in his eyes.

"Forgive me my doll. I never wanted to scare you so much. I promise you I will never scare you like that again. I am sorry." He mumbled making her smile at him.

"If you promise me something I will promise to do one thing you will ask me to. What's say? " She said making him narrow his eyes in suspicion but still nodded his head.

Even though in her heart she wanted to ask him about his past. About the incident. About many serious things but she knew it's just a start. She needs to give him a lot of time to be comfortable with her.

"Promise me you will never hurt someone to that much extent ever again." Lucifer's soft eyes turned dark again as he glared at her making her gulp down.

"No. That bastard deserves it he fucking touched you. Touched what's fucking mine so no. If someone again tried to touch you I will do that again and again." He seethed on her face making her palm his cheeks.

"Look at me Lucifer." He looked right in her eyes with anger but the look in her eyes did help a little in calming him down but not completely.

"You can protect me. And if for that you need to use your hands then I don't mind. But not to that extent where you almost killed that man. He hardly survived the torture you gave him. So please promise me you will never hurt someone to that much extent. Please Promise me."

She said while staring deeply into his eyes. The softness in her voice indeed did a little work and he looked less angry than before.

"Fine. But I will surely beat the hell out of the bitch if he tried to touch you." He said and she knew she can't say no this time. So she nodded her head with a small smile. At least a little progress is all that's needed.

Suddenly her hands fell on her chest again when he leaned to her face even more making her eyes expand a little in surprise.

"You said if I promise to accept your one wish you will do anything I want right." He said with a smirk and now Catelin felt nervous and regretted saying it in the first place. Nonetheless nodded her head.

"Then from now on, you will call me no. You will call us babe." Her eyes widened in shock hearing his words. She shook her head snatching his smirk.

"You can't go back on your words. You promised." He said with a poker face but she again shook her head.

" I can't call the kid Lucifer with that name now." Lucifer's smirk came back as he shook his head.

"It's fine. He's a kid right he wouldn't mind being called baby. And don't worry we all wouldn't mind being called babe when it's coming from your sweet lips." He said leaning down to her face.

She couldn't help but get a mini shock at his playful and flirty actions. He looked different this time. There was no aggressiveness in his actions or any seriousness like normal Lucifer nor childishness like kid Lucifer.
