Chapter 19

Zero's POV

My eyes slowly opened from the comfortable state I was in.

"It feels like I haven't slept in a normal bed for years" I mumbled.

I heard a shocked voice from beside me and then footsteps running further from the bed and minutes later more footsteps were heard, just coming closer to the bed instead.

"My Lord, Prince Zero has woken up" A female voice said happily.

"I see. Thank you, you can leave now" A familiar voice said calmly.

"L-Lucifer?" I whispered. I couldn't speak any louder because of my dry throat and lips. I was hungry and thirsty.

I tried to stand up or at least to try to sit but Lucifer pushed me softly by the shoulders back to bed and told me to rest.

I followed with my eyes as Lucifer grabbed a chair and put it next to me before sitting down on it, crossed legged. My eyes follow his body from his legs to his eyes and what I saw in them vanished in seconds and his stubborn nature kicked in.

"So you are alive" He said.

After what I went through that's what I get? Not even a welcome back? Or.. You have done a good job?

"I thought you were going to die on your first test" He said before sighing in annoyance.

So that's how you want it to be. Alright, so be it. I thought to myself.

I avert my eyes from his and tilt my head to the other direction where he isn't sitting. I close my eyes and try to fall asleep again but he interrupted me as I he kicked me on my broken ribs.

I groan and hold tightly on my aching ribs. I held back the tears and whimpers.

"Are you going to ignore me now?" He whispered in anger.

I didn't answer that, instead I took the bandage which was on the nightstand and slowly slid from the red blanket, covering my body, and sat on the edge of the bed. My back is facing Lucifer. I unwrapped the red colored bandage slowly which was sticking to me like a second skin. I wince from the purple and red wound on my side and breath in relief as I finish to take the bandage off.

"Now the hard part" I whispered as cold sweat was forming on my forehead.

I heard footsteps coming closer to me but I didn't care. I have to take care of this first.

"Let me help you" Lucifer said before kneeling down in front of me and looking... more like staring at the disgusting wound on my side.

I tried to move away from him but he pressed his fingers to the wound and my body automatically stopped moving.

"Just let me do it" He said before offering his hand to me.

I shake my head and I stood up again but he bit me on my side. I fall on the bed with heavy breathing and the wound bleeding again and suddenly Lucifer appeared on top of me.

He smirked and leaned closer to my face. My eyes locked on his lips. His smirk turned into a smile and he snatched the clean bandage from my hand.

"W-what are you-" He pressed something cold on my wound and I yelp in shock and hurt.

"Just bare with it. You are my son after all" He said before grabbing my arm and forcing me to sit on his lap.

It just happened so fast I didn't see it happening.

Did he get stronger in the three days I was gone? I thought to myself.

"Put your arms around neck and hold on" He said before starting to tie the bandage around my shoulder then chest but when he got to serious part, I almost fell off of him so I wrapped my arms around his neck and lean on his shoulder.

I felt his mouth change form into a smile and in seconds I was underneath him on the bed.

"Are you trying to seduce me?" He asked, clearly amused.

I shake my. "No" I said.

"Liar" He whispered before attacking me lips with hunger.

"S-stop" I tried to push him back with my hands by his shoulders but they became weak as he squeezed my butt.

I jumped slightly in surprise and he took this opportunity to snick his tongue inside my mouth and exploring my mouth without missing any corner untouched.

He backed away but not too far. Our noses were touching each other and a smile appeared on his lips.

"Welcome back, my love" Said Lucifer.

"Hmf" I pushed him off of as I felt my strength coming back to me.

I sigh and looked at his amused and aroused expression as he did the same.

"Just jump my bones and be done with it"

"Good idea" He said before moving closer to me.

"It was a joke! A joke!" I said hurriedly and nervelessly as he sighed and got up.

"You passed each test. And here I was hoping I could teach you something but noooo! You HAD to do well on each one!" He complained.

"If you have any problems don't complain to me but to the one who made up the rules!" I said-yelled defensively.

"I know. I know. Calm down. Anyways.. meet me tomorrow in my office, we are going to start training and improving you poor magical skills-" He said before walking to the door and opening it. "-And don't be late. I hate to make people wait and I hate when they make me wait" He said before walking out the room. "-Oh and go down to eat. Death made a special feast for you, was what he said.. so yeah.. clean yourself and go down to eat" He said before closing the door.

"I am back" I said before standing up and wearing to clothes. "-But wait.. How did I get here?"
