==========================================================

     My eyes felt awfully heavy. Had I fallen asleep? A throbbing pain shot through my head as I sat up and took in my surroundings. I was back in my room at the house of Lamination. It sure has been a while.

With my eyes half open, I twisted my body to the side and dangled my legs from the edges of the bed, but instantly felt them bump into something from the side, other than the bed frame. A deep moan played into my ears and my eyes darted down to whoever the voice belonged to.

"Mhm . . . Oh, you're awake," Satan's drowsy voice spoke like dream as he laid sitting there on the floor with his back resting on the bed frame, which looked pretty uncomfortable to me. "Thought you would never wake up for a few more weeks. . . Or at all."

He did not turn to look at me. Still half asleep, I laid there staring at the back of his head, while fighting a slight urge to sniff his neatly combed, straight hair. It looked as soft as ever with the room's faint night lights glowing over him. "When you fainted in my arms that day, I thought you were gone, just like Lilith," he turned his face a bit, giving me a dreamlike view of his side profile as he stared at what I assumed was thin air.

My body instinctively flinched as I felt something cold and soft, slowly curling right under my knee. It was at that moment I knew, that I was dressed in only a night dress that barely reached halfway up my thighs. How did I change out of my other clothes? My thoughts were cut short as the demon laid a soft kiss on my scared knees, before fully looking up at me, and then back down."Looks like your still half asleep," he lightly chuckled, before tugging my ankle and placed a more forceful kiss on the side of my thigh, to which I jerked away from instantly.

"Where are you going?" He grumbled with a pout and knitted eyebrows. "Is It wrong of me to show you my affection now? You know this isn't something so common."

Now wide awake, I pulled back my legs into the bed as I watched the demon stand up, while brushing off what invisible dust was on his casual attire. Am I still dreaming? Blinking in confusion, my hand covered the area he had laid his kiss. "Seems your finally awake, Kitten," he smiled softly as he leaned down, his cold hand cupping my cheek, and peppered my face with kisses.

I subconsciously let out an irritated moan as he pulled away to with a relieved sigh."You look much prettier, Kitten," sitting down on the edge of the bed, he snaked an arm around my waist, and plopped me onto his lap with me letting out a small yelp. My mouth was dry as I took on the sight of his face so close to mine. "What's wrong?" He asked with concern striking his once relieved features." Does the Northern Star still hurt?"

He fingers brushed over my collarbones. "I missed you," the words blurted out of my mind, before I could go through my second thoughts.

Agh, this is too embarrassing. His eyes clearly reflected his shock upon hearing me speak, but recovered none the less with an eased smirk. "No death threats this time? "he teased, while cupping my cheeks, and gently brushing his chilly lips over mine.

It felt weird. I haven't kissed him in a while. . . It felt somehow rewarding. His hand left my cheek and made its way back to my waist, pulling me closer. Replacing it, was my hands laying on his shoulders. My eyes became heavy as I tried to take in ever little drop of mint tea with honey watering my mouth. So bittersweet. I missed this taste. He pulled away, to take a breath and nuzzled his face into my chest, leaving me in a daze as a trace of salvia stained the corner of my lips.

Every breath of his tickled my neck felt holy as he lifted me up to leave another gentle kiss between my collarbones." Yuna," his voice become hoarse as his now warm lips ran up my neck and over my jawline, before biting my lower lip, and swallowing me into a wet kiss with his tongue slipping into my mouth. My fingers ran through his blond locks and gave them a small tug, earning a moan form the little demon.

I pulled away and sniffed his hair. Knew it, the peppery fragrance of green roses. "Satan," I softly called out to him as I felt him running his hand over my thigh. "Did you ever have funny dreams, where you would see me, and it felt so real?"

A moan left my mouth as I felt the blond demon sucking and leaving a small love bite right over my left collarbone, and may God forbid, but it felt too alluring to resist. He hummed in response to my question, but a smirk grazed his face as a whimper slipped out of me. Numbing the throbbing pain in my neck with a delicate kiss, he looked up at me, "Yuna, am I going too far?"

He pulled away with a deep, nervous chuckle escaping his lips. "Who said you were taking the lead here?" I grumbled, but instantly regretted as he slowly undid his shoes with one hand and elegantly placed them next to the bed.

He shifted himself to the center of the bed with me still on him, and one arm holding me steady in place, but that was not what left me a blushing mess.

"Just for today my little Kitten, I'm your marionette," he smiled slyly and continued speaking. "Just . . . stay by my side."
