Yours alone

Lucifer's POV
I would never have believed it even in my wildest dreams that Celine would ever return here. To me. I did not have the luxury to ask her why now for this new development has suddenly brought unexplainable chaos to my life.
I laid on the bed with Ashlyn curled to my body, locking her away from hearing my thoughts as Celine flooded my head. Images of how we met and the few months I had spent with her. I did not know what I should call the affection I had for her back then. Was it love or was it just pure attraction? One thing I could agree to was it was different from what I was feeling for Ashlyn. Way different from it. My love for Ashlyn was unconditional and..
Just then my thoughts was interrupted by several knocks on the door. Ashlyn stirred up in her sleep. "Who could that be?" She asked.
"I do not know," I said to her. "Let me see who it is." I said placing a kiss on her head and leaving the bed.
I walked towards the door and opened it. There was Celine standing in front of me with a smile on her face.
She ran her finger on my chest and brushed past me into the room.
"Why have I not ever been in this room?" She asked out loud.
Ashlyn stared at her. "Because you are not supposed to be in this room." She said.
Celine raised a brow. "I should be telling you that. But anyways," she said looking away from Ashlyn. "That's going to change from today. This time around, I'll be in this room. It's about time we took our love to the next level." She said to me.
Each time she said love, I kept on asking myself what kind of love I had with her.
Ashlyn stared at her with horror on her face.
"Celine you just returned,a lot has changed over the years." I said to her.
"I do know about that and I do know you harbored mistresses in this house and I believe it was because of my assumed death that you turned into something else." She said to running her fingers on my bare arm. So she did know about my escapades. What else did she know about me that's she's yet to say. How did she even know all these if she was on her recuperating bed all these years?
"But I'm here for you now." She said to me.
"I've always had an high taste for women Celine. You assumed death did not make me lusty. The nature has been there." I said to her. The only thing I had done during her assumed death was withdraw a little from the world and in a while later,I was back to being frolicked by and around women despite still having that little hidden hurt in my mind till it was completely eradicated.
"Nevermind that. I'm here now and like I said, I'll like to share your room with you." She said.
"Do you not think that perhaps you're overstepping your boundaries?" I asked her as I held her wrist to stop her from caressing my arm.
"I'm not overstepping my boundaries Lucifer," she said to me. "It's my right." She said again. Her eyes fixed on mine.
"Yes you are," Ashlyn said getting off the bed and walking towards us. "You cannot just walk in here demanding things and claiming rights." She said, her tone underlying anger.
"You have a lot of explaining to do Lucifer, who's this girl? I've been asking since I arrived." Celine said.
"And I'm sure you got answers from the pack members and if you'll excuse me it's past Eight and I do not need this drama right now. I need rest." I said to her. She frowned at me and then stared at Ashlyn head to toe.
"I'll leave you to rest," she said looking back at me and replacing the frown with a smile. "We have a lot to talk about tomorrow." She said.
"Alright." I said to her and she leaned into me and placed a kiss on my cheek so quickly I did not see it coming and she walked away.
Ashlyn fumed in anger. "Right in my presence?" She said bitterly as Celine slammed the door. "And you let her?" She asked staring at me.
"I did not see it coming. I could have stopped her." I said to her.
"Please, I don't want to hear it." she said waving it off and going towards the bed. She laid on it placing the covers over her head.
"Ash,do not do this now please." I pleaded with her heading towards the bed. I laid beside her and took the covers off her face.
"What is it?" She demanded with a lot of jealousy in her voice.
I placed my forehead on hers. "Do not be angry with me love." I said to her.
"I'm not." She denied.
"You are." I stated the facts.
"Forgive me for being so selfish not wanting to share you anymore with anyone else,not even your past lover." She said to me and I sighed.
"You are not sharing me, Ash. I'm yours alone." I said to her.
"Then tell her to leave." She said. I knew that should be what I'm expected of but I could not bring myself to do it. I could not throw Celine out. Not for anything but for the little moments we've had to spend together.
Why I felt so weak at this point to do anything was alarming me.
I did not want to tell her anything that would make her uncomfortable or distraught. I just gathered her into my arms without saying a word.
