Chapter 17 - A New Dawn

Chris got into her room and sat down on the bed waiting for her food

'i wonder why Lust hasn't come to see today?'

She said to herself a little disappointed.

A knock was heard from outside the door making her stand up to see who it was.

She opened the door and saw two maids ,one with clothes on her arm and the other with a tray of food.

She made way for them and let them into her room

"Umm...I never requested for clothes" she said to the maid with the clothes a little confused

"Prince Damien sent for the clothes for you yesterday but they only arrived today" The maid replied keeping her head down slightly.

"Ummm.. Damien??" Chris asked confused

"I-i mean prince lust" The maid replied hurriedly.

'hmm..so he's real name is Damien ,I like it' she said to herself.

'That was so thoughtful of him'

Chris couldn't helping but feel butterflies in her stomach at the fact that he thought about her and her needs.

"You can keep them there" she said pointing at the bed. The maid dropped the clothes on the bed and was about leaving together with the other maid.

"Um..wait do you know where Damien is right now?"she asked while trying out his real name on her tongue.

"He is in a meeting ma'am" she replied and they both bowed and left the room.

Chris felt disheartened that she couldn't see him. She made her way to the table and sat down on a cushion close to it. She opened the food and was relieved they gave her human food. She wasn't sure what they were going to give her since she just asked for food.

She wasn't sure she would be able to eat their food at least not yet she wasn't ready for such a drastic change.

Chris ate her food not leaving anything left on the plate and right on time a maid came and took the plates away leaving Chris full and satisfied.

"Nothing beats good food" she said rubbing her stomach.

A knock suddenly came on the door startling her.

'Could it be a maid,but the plates are already cleared'

"Come in"

The door opened and all she could smell was Cocoa and coffee. A scent she would never miss ,no matter where she was.

Lust stepped into the room looking exhausted but only a glance at her beautiful eyes lit up his face and made him smile but suddenly the smile change to a frown when he saw what she was wearing.

"You are here" Chris said with a smile standing up to hug him. She hugged him but lust didn't return the hug. He stood stiffly.

"What are you wearing?" He asked calmly

"Oh I wasn't comfortable wearing those clothes so I decided to wear this" she said with a smile.

"I know. That's why I got you some clothes. What am asking is why are you wearing Elios clothes?" Lust eyes were darker and full of fury.

"Oh um... I asked him to lend me his clothes since I..."

"Why didn't come to me or call me,I would have given you mine" He said to her still spilling with jealousy and anger.

Chris couldn't understand why he was reacting that way.

"I guess I never thought of that" she said shrugging her shoulders.

"But why do you look upset?" She asked confused

Lust took in a deep breath , trying to make his demon understand that she despite being partly demon has been living in the human world almost half of her life so she couldn't possibly understand.

"Love you can't put on any man's clothes , except mine, it's not right. Demons are very possessive and over protective. When we smell someone else on our lover or significant other we lose our mind and can become dangerous"He said explaining to her.

'he said lover'

Chris couldn't help the slight blush that covered her cheeks.

"So you were jealous?" She asked meekly staring at him with her doe eyes.

"Yes I still am" Lust replied pulling her close.

"And will still be till that cloth is off you" he whispered. His eyes were so dark with so much malicious intent behind them.

Chris felt her breath hang and found herself struggling to breath. Not wanting things to get sexual, she stepped away from him anxiously and tried changing the topic.

"I heard your name is Damien,the maid told me" he replied brushing her hair behind her ear nervously.

Lust smiled and hummed

"So can I call you Damien from now on?" She asked making him nod his head.

"Rage has two names , why don't you?" She asked really curious.

Lust eyes became glazed

.

"Let's forget that for now,in the mean time, I saw the changes you made in the palace and I must say it's like a fresh of breath air" Lust said smiling at her.

"Really you liked it?" She asked with wide eyes

"Yeahhh ...am glad you are feeling comfortable "he replied. Lust slowly brushed her cheeks lightly making Chris shiver.

"I-i n-need one more thing though"she said stuttering because of his actions.

"Go ahead" Lust encouraged her,not stopping his actions. A part of him wanted to take of those clothes off her body but he couldn't be irrational at this point and scare her away.

Chris swallowed in a huge breath , trying to force herself to breath and not get distracted by his actions.

'how can such a light touch ,make me feel so disoriented like this'

"I want to change the color of the palace to something brighter" she said

Lust paused his actions for a while but later proceeded.

"You know demons don't like light colours so am sure their will be certain people who would not appreciate the change" he said to her.

'And am sure birdbrain is one of them' she said to herself snorting in her mind

"But I will try to make it a not so dark color, how is that?" He asked smiling softly at her.

Chris was so lost in his soft caresses that she didn't hear what he said

"What?" She asked dazed

"Nothing.... don't worry I will handle it" Lust smiled at her

He turned her around and wrapped his arms around her waist bringing her back to rest on his chest.

Every action of his was to rub off his scent on her and make her smell more like him. Petty? Yes but he doesn't care.

"You know your presence here is going to change everything" he said to her, resting his chin on her head.

"Things are usually dark and boring here"

"For good or bad?" She asked turning her face to stare at him.

Lust stared at her and kissed her cheek making it colour red instantly.

"I have a feeling it's for good, you my dear are going to bring a new dawn" he said to her.

Lust kissed her chubby cheeks again not being able to help himself, making Chris blush some more.
