"Hal…" he finally spoke, beginning with a very placid tone, "have you ever laid a human girl?"
Hal was stunned, Lucifer's question made his heart begin to race for no reason. 'Has he ever laid with a human girl?' That was not a question he expected to hear from the demon lord himself, it sounded very absurd! They were demons and of course lust was an everyday course for them. Hal could not count how many demonesses he has had carnal knowledge because it was basically a daily routine, in all the centuries of his live.
However, talking about female humans, it has never crossed his sexual fantasies to have a taste of any of them, he never found them attractive at all. He wondered why Lucifer would pop out of no where to ask such question but he however did not ignore him.
"No my lord" he shook his head lightly, "I have never laid with a human girl. Why do you ask?" He has seen recent changes in Lucifer's behavior and normal actions, so him ask what prompted his question was to take note of where the weird fantasies were coming from.
"And why is that?" Lucifer asked in respect to his answer earlier, ingnoring his question.
"I have never fantasized about laying with them my lord, I do not know why" Hal was quick to let go of requesting for an answer, if Lucifer wanted to reply he would have already so as he did not, he decided not to push any further.
"I would like to be left alone then" he breathed, making Hal give him a bow and then turned to leave.
He too did not remain on his throne, he stood up immediately Hal and made his way to his bedroom chamber. He did not know why but he felt like he needed to lay down for a while.
On laying on his grand sized bed, his face was upwards with his eyes stuck on the ceiling. He was deep in thoughts about what Khalan might be going through right now. He knew his actions hurt her so much but he did not want to hurt more, that was why he did what he did.
"I just hope you can understand Khalan" he thought out loud.
Blinked few times in frustration, he was still very soaked in his thoughts and emotions. He felt really bad for hurting her but he knew she would rather prefer such hurt that get scared by his true form. The last time she caught a glimpse of it when they still dewlt in the hut, she got so afraid that she insisted on leaving him, he did not want that to happen anymore.
Unfortunately, he did not know how to control his true form from sufacing whenever he gets aroused, it was innate with demons. Of course, their fellow demonesses would understand as they too had such trait it was a natural feature of their being but to other races, it gets rather scary and might make them loose interest. He really wished Hal had laid with a human before, he was more than willing to ask him for advice and tips if he ever did, he really needed help with calming himself so as not to scare Khalan away but unfortunately he had not. He now had no option but to handle himself and his situation on his own. He had just months to the reincarnation, loosing Khalan now was a very bad idea.
How was he even going to keep to that, he right now had no idea how he was going to approach her to apologize for earlier, what excuse was he going to give?!
He was not very sure if Sheba would understand why he left that way if she was fully awake, he could not tell if she knew the circumstances surrounding mating with a demon but atleast he knew she would not be so scared as Khalan would be. He could not afford to scare her away all because he wanted to satisfy his sexual urges, No! He has to curtail the way he gets aroused whenever he is around her, it was worth more than getting her scared and terrified, with his hideous true form.
Demons were never known to be born in mortal form own human flesh, only the strong and powerful of their kind got to acquire it and at cases of strong arousal, either sexually or otherwise, their true form tends to surface and it was really not a pretty sight.
He knew Sheba would get to understand but Khalan was only going to run away from him, thinking he will hurt her or something the feeling pierced his heart like a thousand needles.
"Humph" he swallowed hard, closing his eyes briefly and opening them again. He stood immediately from the bed, with the intention of leaving his underworld to go back to Khalan.
His mind quickly ran through ideas on what he was going to say to Khalan to excuse his actions earlier. Well…he could just come out plain and honest to her, telling her the real reason he left and what he was trying to avoid. He however brushed that thought off, it was not possible and he was not going to do it. He rather settled for just keeping her in dark, she was not ready to hear what he was about to say and that was final.
He walk towards his mirror which stood gracefully on the east side of his bedroom, resting on the wall behind it and emitting the dark aura his grace carried. He stood there for some minutes, staring at his own reflection and thinking about lots of things again.
With various thoughts going through his head, the most dominant one was 'how come his human flesh looked very beautiful and yet his true form was hideous'. He has never complained about his nature, not even once. He was a demon, not just any demon but the demon lord, the ruler of the demon race.
Being a demon came with so many advantages, he was strong, powerful, respected and most of all, his race was mostly superior. However, he had disadvantages he had to bare, like how ugly he truly looked, his race had the most hideous true form.
He tilted his head a bit in the bid to brush off his negative thoughts of how he was beginning to regret being a demon. His mind was flashed with the thoughts of Khalan and how she might be fairing at the moment, he had to go back to her immediately, she must be worried sick about him already.
He left his underworld kingdom at once and reappeared in his mansion where he left Khalan. He made his way to the room and met her fast asleep already.
She was not laying properly so he placed her well, tucked her in and laid beside her. He felt this peace when ever he was with her and the peace he was feeling now made him have this urge to close his eyes and embrace rest.
He snuggled unto her and inhaled her sweet scent deeply. Soon enough, he urge fufiled it's course and his snore was light and serene…
