Heels clicked against the tiles as a dark figure made his way through the castle in the dead of night. He slipped through the shadows, making sure that he was not disturbing the peace. Finally at long last he made it to his destination.
The guards tensed when they heard someone approach. Only slightly relieved to see that it was just their king. He smiled his sharp fangs upon the two, " Good evening to you gentlemen. I have come to pay a visit to my lovely mistress."
" Our apologies my king but I’m afraid that he has already retired this evening." One of the guards told him, "We can awaken him if you wish?" The other suggested.
However, Lucifer dismissed it, " No need, I merely wished to see him and don’t ever think such foolish thoughts again. My mistress needs all the rest he can get. Now if you’ll excuse me."
He waved a hand for them to move, and they did. Even opening the doors for him. Before stepping through he turned and gave them a serious look.
"Remember. No one, not even the Queen herself is allowed in here when I’m here."
They nodded and watched as he slipped through, closing the doors behind him. The room was completely dark, save for the moonlight coming through the open doors leading to the balcony. The linen curtains blowing softly against the evening breeze.
He clicked his tongue, no, no that won’t do. His mistress could catch a cold if kept open. Or an intruder stupid enough to come here might crawl in. He would not let anything happen to his mistress.
Especially in his condition.
He closed them and then made his way over the large luxurious bed surrounded by thick light blue curtains. Thick enough so that nobody would be able to feast their eyes on the slumbering creature.
Except for Lucifer of course.
He waved his hand, and the curtains drew back revealing the most beautiful being in all of creation. Adam slept heavily and peacefully snuggled underneath the soft, cotton blankets. Lucifer felt all the stress from the day wash away once his eyes trained on him.
Especially when they landed on his swollen abdomen. A tender smile graced his lips, and he reached over to rub it. Unfortunately, it caused the man to stir and slowly flutter his eyes open.
He adjusted a bit more trying to see who it was in the darkness. It soon became apparent to him that it was the king. "L, Lucifer?"
The being in question gave him a soft look, "Oh, my apologies Adam. I didn’t mean to wake you. I just wanted to drop by and see you before I headed to bed myself. Please go back to sleep." Adam yawned and sat up, doing the opposite of what he was instructed to.
The sheets fell down and Lucifer could see that he was wearing a short sleeping gown the same color as the curtains. It hugged his chest tightly, managing to keep them in place. He rubbed the sleep out of his eyes and looked toward his master with a tired but happy smile.
"You were busy today?" Lucifer scoffed, "That is certainly one way of putting it. Didn’t help that Lilith kept making it so I couldn’t see you today. But don’t fret my love. I’ll be sure to visit you first thing in the morning. We can even have breakfast in the garden."
Adam smiled tiredly, "That sounds lovely Lucifer." He stopped to yawn before addressing the king again, "I’m sorry but I’m extremely tired, our little one has been making it so I can’t relax for one second when I’m awake, even sometimes in sleep. Can you please leave?"
If it were anyone else in the entirety of Hell who spoke to Lucifer like that, no matter how nicely, he wouldn’t have hesitated and ripped out their spine and whipped them into oblivion with it. However, this wasn’t just anyone, this was Adam, his mistress, the mother to his future child. So he simply smiled and helped him layback down and feel comfortable.
He gently massaged his belly and sang a soothing melody. Soon his mistress’s eyes were closed as sleep took once more. Gently, as to not wake him again, placed a small kiss on the bump.
"Daddy loves you little one." He said so quietly he almost didn't hear himself. He moved back up and kissed Adam on the cheek.
"And I love you."
He backed away letting the curtains fall as he prepared for his departure back to his chambers, but not before one quick glance back to the bed. "Till tomorrow my mistress."
