Catelin stared at him through the darkroom with stunned eyes for a second. She moved to the switchboard and switched on the light letting the man come in light.

He was dressed up in party attire. He was wearing a black tight-dressed shirt with dressed pants. The few buttons of his shirts were undone as well his cuffs were up revealing his bulky arms.

He was leaning against the wall while crossing his arms against his chest. His dark gaze was stuck on her making her clutch the hem of her shirt in nervousness. At first, she felt happy finding him standing there.

She wanted nothing but to run in his arms. Cry her heart out and tell him how much she loves him and none of her acts with him was a lie. But restraining herself she held her head up remembering the days he tortured her.

"What are you doing here?" She questioned with a cold tone surprising Lucifer.

He raised his eyebrows in amusement. He wasn't expecting her to behave this coldly but he knew he deserves her cold treatment. After all, he was being a bitch for the last three months.

He detached his back from the wall and started walking towards her making her tighten her grip on the cloth. She was nervous and also scared of what he wanted now.

"I want to talk to you." He said making her shoot him a glare. Her nervousness faded away hearing his words. Now he wants to talk to her. This bastard.

"For the past three months I have been going crazy trying to talk to you and you didn't even care about how much you were hurting me and now you want to talk to me." She said glaring at him.

He stood in front of her only a foot away, Catelin didn't back away as well as she was dead angry at him. He sighed heavily nodding his head.

"I know I hurt you. But you are to be blamed." He spat making her eyes widen in shock.

"You are blaming me! When I tried everything in me to talk to you. You were the one who kept on ignoring me! " She took a step ahead looking at him with mad eyes.

"I know but you should have told me that all this time you were really in love with me instead of kept on behaving like you only cared about me being cured." He spat stepping forward. He completely hovered above her but Catelin didn't back away she looked up straight into his eyes.

"I did! I told you I love you but you didn't believe me!" She reminded him making him bite his lower lip.

"I know I was wrong but every part of me was hurt thinking that you were only using your love to get me to do what you want. You want me to be treated that's why I thought you were lying." Catelin glared at him feeling tears in her eyes.

"How can you think that I can lie about such a big thing? Love! How can I lie about loving someone?" She said through her teary eyes and Lucifer looked down biting his lower lip in guilt.

"Then why are you here? You don't believe that I love you right! Then go away. I don't want to see your face." She spat in anger feeling a tear escaping her eyes. She roughly wiped it away walking rapidly towards the door.

But before she could reach the door her wrist got caught in his large palm. He roughly turned her around smashing her back against the door. He towered over her body making her back get pressed against the door.

"Let me go! Leave me!" She was so angry that she wasn't ready to listen to him. She punched his chest making him sigh heavily.

He tried talking and calming her but she didn't listen. She kept on beating his chest and murmuring to let her go but Lucifer had it enough. He grabbed her wrists and slammed them on the door beside her head.

He dipped his head down shutting her up with his lips. His rough lips met her plump ones pulling her in a bruising kiss.

Her head went upwards because of the force of his kiss making her moan out at his sudden action. He pressed her wrists on the door before crushing her lips with his.

The back of her head got pressed against the door feeling him biting her lower lip. She whimpered letting him enter his tongue. Not be able to hold back Lucifer grabbed her both wrists in his one hand and pinned them above her head.

He grabbed her waist with his free arm and pulled her closer to his chest. Catelin moaned out in his mouth feeling him sucking the breath out of her.

Her anger, madness, and disappointment got disappeared as she let him take over her completely. Letting her lips move along with his, she again gave the proof of her love for him.

Lucifer's chest vibrated with a growl leaving his throat. He felt contented feeling her lips moving along with his. Slowly the pace became sweet and passionate. Once which was nothing but a bruising and punishing kiss turned into a slow and sensual one.

He poured his longing, love, and possessiveness into the kiss. He showed her how much he missed her through the needy yet passionate kiss.

Catelin wiggled her wrists signaling him to pull away and he did. He knew he already had sucked her breath out even though he could go on and suck her lips the whole night but still for her he pulled away.

"I am sorry Doll." He mumbled letting his forehead meet her sweaty ones. They both breathed out heavily.

For the past three months, only Lucifer knows how hard it was for him to be away from her. To ignore her. It maybe sounds like he was being ignorant and cruel. He thought he was punishing her but in this period, it was more of torture for him.

He even started skipping dinner so he wouldn't lose his control and jump on her in front of everyone. There were few times he actually went to her room wanting to talk to her and ask her why did she play with his love? But each time seeing her sleeping peacefully held him back.

He knew she was trying her best to cure him and he also wanted to be cured. Even though the aggressive side of his was angry at her but he wasn't. He knew he wanted to be cured and she was trying her best.
