A nightmare

Ashlyn's POV
"I want you here." He whispered huskily after moments of silence. Delivering bouquets of chills and shivers down my stomach.
I was still very much angry at him but I could not deny the masculine effects he had on my body.
"I do not want to be here." I said to him still trying to steady my heartbeat.
"It's not a matter of choices." He said staring at me.
"I should have a choice but yet in every way you still remind me of my father." I said to him and his eyes flashed. He had an unappeased anger in him and I could see he was fighting to control it.
"If I was your father,would I touch you in this manner?" He asked as as he skidded his hand along my bare thighs and up to my waist. I swallowed as my lustful body responded to his touch and waiting for the feel of his lips to taste the rawness of mine.
I shook my head. "It's only the touch of a cruel master." I said to him.
He buried his face on my neck. "A Master is meant to be cruel in all his ways. All his doings." He said to me.
"Is that what the devil told you?" I asked him and for a moment he went stiff and then looked at me. "Yes." He said lacking empathy as he cupped my arse in his hands and pushed me tighter to him. A small gasp parted from my lips as I was few kissable inches away from him.
"Is this all that matters to you?" I asked him. I was still in grief and here he was thinking of bedding me.
"Aside the wellbeing of my pack,yes." He said without blinking an eye.
"This is all you want from me?" I dared to ask. What else would he want from me? His intention has been clear from the onset.
"Honestly,yes." He said still staring at me. I could feel his breath on my lips.
I swallowed. "You gave me a task. May I accomplish it now?" I asked him wanting to get out of his arms for fear of getting betrayed by my body. My heart,my mind and my soul was in grief but it seemed like my body was not a part of me. For she always seem to have a mind of her own when she was up close like this with Lucifer.
"You will but first I have to accomplish mine." He said to me and that seized my breathing for a moment.
"Which is?" I asked almost out of breath.
"With you." He said huskily.
"I do not want to be in this po.." I could not complete it as I was made to keep quiet with a kiss,my back pressed against the wall as he deliver personally unquenchable fire in my feral bones.
That was all he did,kiss me till I was begging for air. I could not predict Lucifer. His behavior,his mindset,his way of reasoning was all beyond my reach of understanding.
One moment he's as hot as the fire in hell and the next he's as cool as the spring in a summer garden.
He pulled away letting go of me as he stared once more into my eyes. For a moment,he was lost and under the influence of Steel as he cupped my cheek and I heard Steel in my head.
"Iona,are you there my beautiful?" He asked and she responded to him.
"I'm here Steel." She said to him.
"Let's ditch these humans and roam free in the forest, there are lots of places I'll.." He could not finish his words when Lucifer took over shaking his head in anger.
"Stop it Steel. What the hell did you do that for?" He demanded in anger.
"You should not take over me like that." Lucifer said to him as he took his hand away from my face and it looked like he was quarrelling with his lycan.
I just stood there by the wall steadying my breathing as I stared at my toes. I should be raving mad at him and not being this way after what he said to me downstairs and with his I don't care attitude about my miscarriage.
I looked up and saw him lying on the bed.
"No sleeping on duty." He said and I frowned at him. I could just strangle him.
"You and I know you can't." He said to me and I stared at him wide eyed in shock.
Lucifer's POV
"Are you in my head?" She asked bemused by my sudden outburst. Steel had finally connected the mind link with her. At first we did not cause we believed she was only a vampire and not part of the werewolves clan.
"I can hear your thoughts now,so be careful what you think." I said to her closing my eyes.
"I can shut you out." She said.
"If you're capable of it." I said to her. Of course she could shut me out of her thoughts but I would still be able to feel her emotions and that usually weakens me.
She let out an inaudible hiss.
"Why did you not tell me you were an hybrid?" I asked her,engaging in a conversation cause I could not get some sleep.
"And what would that have changed?" She retorted. "I'm just some perky,lowlife, dimwitted vampire to you and everyone else." She said.
Do I need this conversation right now? I thought to myself.
"You started it,find a way to end it." She said to me shuffling on her feet. How could I forget that she could hear my thoughts too? I immediately locked her out of it.
"Your whole family are hybrids?" I asked her looking at her in the darkness while she was unable to see me.
She frowned deeply. "Except my mother. She was a human before father.." She stopped. "Why do you suddenly care?" She fired at him with a croaked voice.
"I don't." I lied. All of a sudden I was interested in knowing this half witted hybrid vampire before me but I did not want to make it known to her.
The rest of the night was a silent one between us. I could not sleep as I watched her standing by the wall. From the darkness,I could see her sleeping.
Did I not warn her not to sleep on the job? I was about to wake her up but decided against it as I stood up from the bed and went towards her. Lifting her into my arms,I carried her gently and placed her ceremoniously on the bed, placing the covers over her.
Once again,I was possessing the gentleness I was not known for. A possession I myself was not familiar with.
I laid on the bed beside her watching her sleep,the heaving of her chest and the stubborn curls of her hair around her face. I was tempted to reach out and trace the sidelines of her face but I refrained from it. Too many temptations this temptress was making me pass through.
I closed my eyes staying away from her on the bed as I forced myself to sleep.
I heard silent sobs way after midnight and I turned to see Ashlyn crying with her eyes closed.
"I'm trying father, it's just not my fault." She said amidst her tears and then began muttering incoherently as she sobbed the more.
I could no longer withhold myself from pulling her into my arms and I did.
"Shh. It's just a nightmare." I whispered into her ears as I stroked her arm. Slowly she stopped weeping and I let her stay in my arms that way.
I knew I'd be damned by morning. Damned for what I was doing. She was luring me in. Too many spells this enchantress had casted on me and I was finding it difficult to break from it.
