Lucifer awoke a few hours later.
His bedmate was on her back, her right leg trapped between his.
He smiled at her sweet sleeping face.
She looked peaceful. And well-fucked.
One of her hands rested on her breast, the other precariously close to his sleeping cock, as if she'd fallen asleep reaching for it.
He nudged her hand with his prick.
"Wake up, pet."
Hermione slowly blinked open her eyes. "Hm?"
"Come on, love. Let's go take a bath," he murmured.
She stretched like a cat, trying to wake up, and her hand flexed around his dick, which drew a sleepy smile to her face.
"M'Kay."
"How does your bum feel?"
She grinned. "You were in it, you tell me."
Lucifer shook his head, rolling his eyes. "I meant, are you sore?"
Hermione wiggled her hips and nodded. "I'm a bit sore. Nothing horrible. More like my bum is tired."
"I'll heal you." He rolled out of bed. "Come along."
Hermione rolled over his vacated warm spot and let him help her out of the bed.
Holding her hand, he led her to the bathroom.
While he filled the tub, she stood to one side, rubbing her arms to stay warm, shifting from foot to foot to avoid the frigid tile.
The bulb was still in the sink from the night before, and she eyed it warily.
Lucifer started the tub then went to the sink to clean up.
In the mirror's reflection, he saw her huddling and shivering in the corner.
When he picked up the enema bulb, she looked away as if afraid she'd be called back for a demonstration.
"Come here, Hermione."
"Why?"
"Because I said so."
She crept over to his side, wanting to keep him amiable.
"Why so nervous, pet?"
"I don't know what you're going to do to me."
"Ah. Have I ever done anything that you did not enjoy? That wasn't a punishment," he amended.
"That's kind of a loaded question."
"In what way?" he asked, kneeling down and pulling off her socks.
"In a . . . sweet Circe," she muttered.
It took him a second to realize she was staring at his back.
Lucifer also saw in the mirror's reflection..
It did look pretty bad.
During the first couple of nights, he'd been careful not to lie on it during the night so it wouldn't ache, but he'd grown accustomed to the dull throb.
Pain was an old friend.
"It'll be fine," he said, standing and checking it in the mirror.
Her fingers lightly traced over the missing skin.
Deep red and purple. It hurt her just to look at it. Hermione leaned forward and kissed the edge of his injury.
"What are you doing, Hermione?"
"Kissing it. Is it helping?"
Raising one critical eyebrow, Lucifer watched her kiss his back again.
He had to admit it felt nice.
His skin tingled where her lips touched. She did it again.
No one was ever really nice to him.
He didn't know how to react.
"It doesn't appear to be better."
"Nonsense!" she retorted. "It's making you feel better." He was angel not a robot; everyone needed caring, even bad-tempered Millinnea old Devil!
Lucifer was amused by her vehement assertion. "I guess you're not hurting anything."
Hermione smiled to herself and kissed him again.
He'd never admit he liked her affection (or any affection for that matter), but he was going to have to get used to it if he wanted to keep shagging her.
"Do you have anything to help with pain?"
"I'm a bloody Celestial, of course I have something to ease the pain."
Hermione wasn't scared off by his gruffness. She knew it was a cover.
Pleasure he knew how to handle, but nurturing wasn't so easily accepted.
She didn't want to upset him.
With a soft kiss, she whispered, "May I put it on you?"
"I suppose," he muttered.
Lucifer didn't want to leave the warmth of her lips.
'Don't let her see how much you like it.'
Turning away, he dug through a drawer and found a jar of Contusion Cream.
He handed it to her with a distrustful look.
Hermione took the jar and smiled at him as she opened it.
She gently patted the blue-green paste over his damaged skin, kissing around his shoulder as she worked.
His expression made it clear he was waiting for something bad to happen.
"There," she said, handing him back the jar. "Feel better?"
'Yes.' "No."
She smiled. "Yes, you do."
Lucifer didn't respond, he just took the jar from her and put it away in the drawer. "Go get in the tub."
Feeling victorious, Hermione crossed the cold floor and climbed into the steaming tub.
He got in right behind her, careful with his back to prevent from touching water.
Before she could sit, he reached down and grabbed her foot.
Hermione leaned back against the opposite side of the tub and bit the smile off her lips as he started to massage her toes.
"You didn't answer me, Hermione. In what way was that a loaded question?"
She sighed, not really knowing how to answer. It was complicated.
"I'm not sure." She winced as he pressed a sensitive spot on her sole.
"Sometimes the pain adds to the pleasure, makes it different . . . exciting. But sometimes it just hurts. I don't know if I really like it when it hurts that much, but I get wet anyway . . . which makes me feel a bit barmy."
Lucifer squeezed the sides of her foot, and she moaned and grabbed onto his shins so she wouldn't slide under the water.
Hermione went on, "I like it when you take control. I don't think I'd like the pain as much if it wasn't you causing it."
His hands let go of her left foot and picked up the right.
Strong fingers ran up her arch and pressed under the ball of her foot.
She had no idea her feet ached so much until he rubbed away the tension.
Lucifer watched her. She got more relaxed the longer he worked on her.
It was good she was admitting she liked his control.
There were plans to push that a little further in the near future.
"Lucifer?"
"Yes, pet."
"When will you bugger me again?"
"Maybe tomorrow morning. Maybe a week from now. Do you want it again?"
"Once I'm healed, yes."
"I think we'll wait a bit. I want you desperate for it."
Hermione squirmed against the tub.
'I'm already there, and you know it.'
