Chapter 48 - Chapter 48 :  Travelling to Atlantis (Part 1)

The ship cruised over the sky with ease. Fenrir grabbed a glass of juice before sitting on the handle of the chair beside Lucifer. 

"Gotta say Lucifer you always exceeded my expectations," she muttered.

Lelania then sat on Lucifer's lap and leaned against him. 

"Yes husband is truly a man of many talents," she stated proudly.

"We'll soon reach the dive point my lord," Black Jack reported.

"Then drop altitude to 10,000 feet," Lucifer ordered.

"As you wish"

The ship descended below the clouds to 10,000 ft just as Lucifer wanted. Eve who walked out of the bathroom felt the drop in altitude, started to feel nauseous and rushed back into the bathroom to vomit. Lucifer got up from his seat and straightened his jacket, then walked away.

"Where are you going?" Lelania wondered.

"To check up on our unwanted guest."

Lucifer walked through the automatic door, down the corridor and came to the room where Merona was. He stopped upon hearing her singing inside the room. He couldn't understand the words but her voice captivated him even more a moment. He walked into what appeared to be a bathroom where Merona was relaxing in the bathtub filled with water. 

"Oh, dearly beloved."

"Stop calling me that, I'm not your lover, I'm here to ask you a quick question," Lucifer informs.

"Whatever you need I'll assist you the best I can."

Lucifer took out a map of the sea and marked a few areas with an X.

"These are the reasons I've marked where there have been reports of ships that have sank to the bottom of the ocean and ss you can see there are only four."

"Four, I've know about dozens "

"I want you to give me the location."

"I'll give them to you, so long as you promise that you'll marry me fufufufu," Merona chuckled seductively.

"Does it look like I'm playing?" Lucifer asked in a hostile voice. "I'm not a very nice person, I don't show mercy and I don't discriminate but if you are my enemy I'll kill you."

Lucifer threatened Merona who kept on smiling. 

"But if you kill me, you'll never know the locations of the other ships, Fufufufu," she chuckled happily.

'Damn, She's good,' Lucifer thought to himself. 

"Fret not my beloved, I'll give you the location."

Merona took the map and marked off dozens of spots around the Continent of Manchester. 

"There you go, I do hope that will be enough?" she asked politely, Lucifer didn't respond to her and walked away. 

"Dearly Beloved, I would like for you to take me home first if you don't mind?"

"No go on your own," he responded carelessly.

"I'm more than willing to pay you for your services," she offered.

Lucifer turned then looked at her with his eyes closed. Merona looked at him with bright eyes and a friendly smile, hoping to win him over.

"...fine," he responded.

"That's wonderful, I'm sure we'll enjoy our journey to Atlantis."

"If this is about marriage, forget it, I have three wives already, I don't need a fourth."

The door closed, Merona kept smiling even when he rejected her. 

"Perhaps he's not the one," she mumbled to herself.

Lucifer returned to the control room to the others. "Change of plans, We're taking a detour," he reported.

"Where to?" Fenrir queried.

"To Atlantis."

After cruising above the water surface and reaching a diving zone, the wings of the ship retracted inwards and it slowly slipped into the water. The jet thrusters changed to propellers and pushed the ship through the water. Sitting from the captain's chair looked out at the blue waters.The headlamp at the front of the ship came on guiding their path ahead.  Lelania slithered to the cargo bay to check on Pressila. She was there squirming with a sour yet embarrassed expression on her face. 

"Pressila is something the matter?"

"Hey, how long before we reach Atlantis?" Pressila wondered.

"About a day and a half, why?"

"I-it's just that I have to pee!" Pressila exclaimed.

"What?!" Lelania gasped. "We have to inform Husband."

"No, I don't want him finding out."

"But what will you do? You can't hold it in forever."

"I'll try."

Lelania continued to watch and Pressila continued to squirm and hold her dress. 

"Pressila you should talk to Husband, I'm sure he has a solution for your problem."

Pressila shook her head left and right. "No way I'm telling a guy my problem and besides he's your husband," she replied.

"You need to stop acting so stubborn, Pressila."

At the same time the door opened and Lucifer walked in.

"Husband thank goodness you're here Pressila has—"

"No, don't tell him."

Lucifer looked up at Pressila with his eyes closed. He could see the sour expression on Pressila's face then walked over to a lever. He pulled the lever and a special compartment expanded at the side of the ship. Pressila looked inside and saw a rectangular shaped toilet inside. 

"What's that?" Lelania wondered.

"A toilet, I designed it for her, that's why I came here," Lucifer responded.

Pressila rushed inside and closed the door, 5 minutes later she came back out breathing a sigh of relief. The compartment contracted once again. 

"T-thank you Lucifer."

Pressila thanked Lucifer while smiling and looking away. He didn't respond to her, just casually turned and walked away. 

"See, all you had to do was ask," Lelania spoke.

"Yes, he's thoughtful and more gentle than I imagined, I can see why you fell in love with him." 

"Naturally."

Lelania was proud of Husband and felt closer to him. Later that night while she was showering in the bathroom, she found herself thinking about him and after she showered, In her nightgown she slithered down the corridor and went to his room. 

"Husband, are you awake?" she called.

The door suddenly opened and she slithered inside. The room was dark and Lucifer was already in bed sleeping. She went up to him and slipped into his bed behind him. 

"Husband, are you awake?" She wondered.

"Yes."

"I want to say thank you."

"For what?"

"For helping my friend today, that was really thoughtful of you."

"I just didn't want her to flood my ship."

"Fufufufu you do have a point but still thank you."

Lelania slipped her hands around his waist. Lucifer could feel her getting closer and her breasts pressed against his back. 

"Husband, can I ask something?"

"What is it?"

"How long do we have to wait before our relationship can go to the next level?" Lelania wondered 

'The next level?  She doesn't mean,' Lucifer asked himself. 

"I'm willing if you're willing."

Lelania blushed as she waited to hear Lucifer's response. 

"I'm not ready yet," He responded.

Lelania felt a bit disappointed. "May I know why?" she asked but he took a while to answer her. 

"...I'm not ready yet."

Lelania got the same answer out of him and this time she understood what he was saying. 

"I see then I'll wait for you, no matter how many days, months or years. I'll always be by your side and wait until you're ready but I ask.. Can I stay with you tonight?"

"...yes "

Lelania was happy that Lucifer gave the go ahead and cuddled him closely. 

'I'm sorry Lelania, Eve, Fenrir but something deep inside my heart is telling me this isn't the time yet,' Lucifer thought to himself.
