It had been a month since we got back from my parents' house. We needed to get back as soon as possible because my powers as a devil were going out of my hands.

I could not control my horns appearing on my head or my hands turning to reddish-purple or, my eyes turning to hollow. Sometimes they would transform on their own and it would be a problem if my mom or dad saw it.

Since Andrew knew about devils, it was okay with him but if my parents saw it, they would get heart attacks.

I didn't even go to my office and Devionth said to everyone that I got chicken pox.

I was making coffee for Devionth and tea for me. Even though I turned into a devil, I still loved tea.

I thought turning into a devil would change many things such as there might be changes in my food habits since devils needed souls and human emotions for their energy. But in my case, I still didn't need it.

But I could feel things differently and see things with wider views. But one thing that didn't change was, Devionth still could read my mind.

I felt a presence behind me as my lips curled up. Yes, I could feel others as well and I wouldn't have to get startled anymore.

"Your coffee." I said as Devionth came and wrapped his hands around my waist.

He leaned on my back and pouted, "You are no fun after turning into a devil."

I looked at him from above my shoulders, "What was that?"

"You don't get startled anymore. It used to be fun." He complained.

I elbowed him but it didn't make him flinch. He grinned.

"Soon, you will feel bored everything about me..." I said looking at the kitchen slab. Well, it was true since we would be living for many years from now on and maybe he would start to feel bored with me...

He pinched my belly from above my night gown as I jolted. "Carson, I fell in love with every side of you and besides," his hand went down and found my sweet spot as I gasped. "I would make it interesting for me."

I slapped his hand away as my cheeks shifted in color and I got away from him immediately. "Devionth...!"

"What?" He gave a playful grin as he took the mug and sipped without averting his eyes away from me.

"We-you did it yesterday more than two times!" I said as my heart pumped in unusual ways, "I am sore there."

His grin broadened and I felt like hiding as my mind reminded me how he took me last night and the night before and the before...

My thighs squished on their own as if my body wanted him again even if I was swelling.

He could feel my sensuality as his eyes washed over me and I bit my lips. No! We can't do that!

"Do what?" He asked.

"You know what I mean..."

He put the mug and closed the distance between us as his eyes glinted. If he gave me any more of these looks I was afraid I would do it even if I was sore.

"But your body is saying otherwise." He said as his face neared.

"Oh! I have come at the wrong moment, I suppose?" A voice said as we both yanked away from each other and looked at the source.

It was Allan.

I narrowed my eyes. Was Mr Denver here?

"Allan? Why are you here? Has your father come along?" I asked.

Allan looked at Devionth and asked, "You didn't tell her about me?"

I looked between them. "Tell me what?"

Devionth said, "Oh! I forgot to tell, he is Lucifer."

I looked at the child before me. "Why did he take Allan's face?"

"Allan never existed." Devionth said and I looked at him with wide eyes then he told me everything.

No wonder I had no idea because after we came back I didn't go to the office because of my unusual demonic issues. So, I didn't have any chances to meet Mr Denver but Devionth told me that he had informed him about me.

"I am sorry. I had no idea." I said as Allan--who was Lucifer--came and took a seat on our coach.

Devionth knelt down and I looked at him with quizzical eyes. It felt weird to bow down to a child but he was no ordinary child, he was the King of Hell in a child form.

I followed Devionth's movement but one of my legs decided to transform that moment and I lost my balance. I fell flat on my face just before Lucifer's small legs as if I was taking his blessing.

"Err... You don't have to bow to me like that..." Lucifer said as I sat on my knees, my face red from the fall and from embarrassment.

I said with a hoarse voice, "I wasn't! My leg!"

Both of them looked at my legs as Devionth's lips twitched. I glared at him and his shoulders started to shake as he coughed to muffle the laugh.

"Devionth! That is really rude to laugh at a lady's dispense." Lucifer said and looked at me with his gentle eyea and asked, "I am sorry, Carson. I forgot that you just turned into a devil."

"It is okay." I said but we heard Devionth making some noises as if he was holding his laughter.

"Fine! Just laugh it out, already!" I said and he fell into a fit of laughter. His shoulders and chest bobbed as I pouted.

"Sorry, sorry..." He said as Lucifer shook his head.

"I have to give you a little punishment then." He said to Devionth as he went still.

"Wha-why?"

"Because you just laughed at your girlfriend! That's very rude!"

"Aren't you favoring her too much?" Devionth asked raising his brow.

"I can't help. She is like a daughter to me." He shrugged as my heart flattered. I looked at Lucifer with my puppy eyes.

"Anyways. You can't use your powers for one day." He said and Devionth gave him a look.

"And how am I supposed to go back to Hell? You do know, I have so much work." He asked.

Lucifer shrugged. "It is your problem. A punishment is a punishment. Maybe if you take a day off from Hell's work, you may survive the day. Who knows?"

Lucifer stood up and said, "Now if you excuse me, I have to go watch the new episodes of Tom & Jerry."

"Wait!" Devionth said, "Why did you come here, you didn't say anything..."

He smiled and said before vanishing, "Oh! I just came here to check on you two. But it seems you are fine."

Wow! I couldn't believe that Lucifer came to my apartment.

I looked at Devionth and saw he stood beside me with pale face. "Devionth?"

"Shit, you old man!" Devionth shouted, "You seriously took my powers!"

I looked at him with confusion. "Wait what? I thought he was joking."

"No! He really took them." He stretched his hand and said, "Look! I can't even use any spells nor I can transform and I can't definitely go to Hell."

I panicked. If he didn't get back his powers, I was doomed. Because he was the one who controlled my transformation if it appeared in public.

"Wha- how do we summon him back?" I asked.

Devionth said moving his hands frustratedly in the air, "Oh! He won't come even if you call."

"T-then, how am I supposed to go get the groceries?" I asked because if I went without him by my side, there was a fat chance that my hands or legs or eyes would transform and I would end up making them get scared of me. And I still hadn't learnt how that teleportation feature worked. I could barely hold my devil form coming to the surface.

Devionth looked at me add said, "Don't worry, I will go."

Devionth paced around the drawing room a few times while his hand tapped on his forehead. He was thinking something. I knew he would make things right. He had always done everything right.

"Call Miory." He said to me.

I nodded and typed on my phone as he gave me a look. "Use your mind link when!"

"Err... Sorry, I am still accustomed to this."

Devionth had taught me how to do that. Because if he was away and I got into danger, I could call him at least. But after using it my head still throbbed. I still couldn't get the hang of it. It took a lot of energy to connect and I was just impressed that Devionth and his subjects could do that easily. Just how much power they had!

Miorith came and was about to ask what happened but as she looked Devionth, she raised her brows. "What is it?"

Devionth said, "Miorith, tell Drakenth and Droyth to give all of my work here."

Miorith's jaw hung. "Why?"

"It is nothing." He answered as Miorith looked at me.

"His powers were turned off for one day." I said, smiling nervously.

Miorith's lips twitched and Devionth glared at her. "You want me to cut your payment again this month?"

The laugh which was about to come vaporized immediately from Miorith's face as she said, "I didn't even laugh!"

"Good. Because tell everyone that if they laugh behind my back, I will cut everyone's payment by half." Devionth's eyes glinted as a menacing mist came off him.

I gaped at him as Miorith looked at him with round eyes and left immediately.

I slapped on his forearm. "Why would you do that to them?"

"Because they would laugh and I know that very well." He clenched his fists.

"You laughed at me as well, you know?" I narrowed my eyes at him as he stiffened.

He scratched the back of his head, "Ehem... That- "

"That what?" I tapped my foot on the ground.

He came near and gave me a tight lipped smile as he said, "You know that was just a...ehem...joke..."

I narrowed my eyes at him as he pecked me on my nose and said, "You still love me for that."

I rolled my eyes. He would never change.

Soon, Droyth and Miorith came with a lot of papers and scrolls as he took my bedroom as his temporary office and told me not to disturb him.

He had been working and suddenly a devil came while I was watching tv with low sound.

"Hello, Miss McAllen." He said as I stood up.

"Hello, and you are?" I asked as I had never seen him.

He was tall with a lean build and had visible blue eyes and black hair. He was in his human form but I could see his red skin and I knew my eyes had turned hollow.

He raised a brow probably thinking why my eyes suddenly turned.

"I am sorry, I still can't control them." I said, trying to bring back my human eyes.

He shook his head saying, "No it is alright, Devionth had informed us already." He stretched his hands and introduced himself, "I am Drakenth, by the way."

I took his hands and nodded, "Ah! I know you. Devionth had mentioned you."

He raised a brow. "Really? That's hard to believe from how he treat me in the office."

I looked at him with wide eyes. "How does he treat you?"

"Like a slave..."

Ah! Yes, from everyone I had heard the same complaint. He was bossy.

"I think I should just tell him to check his behavior..." I said as Drakenth chucked.

"No. It is okay. He is a great boss. A bit stingy and maybe bossy but he does treat everyone." He smiled.

I nodded as we heard the door opening and Devionth peeked outside. He asked with a hoarse voice and for a moment I could not believe if he was the same Devionth I'd known, "Drakenth! Where have you been? I think I have told Miorith to tell you I needed the financial statements!"

"Ah! Here..." Drakenth said as he went near him and gave him all the files.

And I saw Devionth was wearing glasses. Damn, did he look hot! Then I recalled he could not read my mind and a grin formed in my lips. I could imagine anything I wanted for one whole day!

I asked, "Do you guys want some coffee and snacks?"

Drakenth looked at me as Devionth glared at him. He felt his boss's stares as he said, "No. It is okay. I am full."

Devionth said, "Just make me a coffee."

"Then tell Drakenth to join as well because I won't make only for you." I said as Devionth gave me a look which said 'Are you seriously my girlfriend?'

I smirked.

He ordered Drakenth, "Join us, Drakenth..." He put so much pressure on his name that Drakenth gulped and with a nervous smile he said, "Err... Yes. Of course."

Then both of them entered and again closed the door.

I made them coffee and while I was at it, I made cookies and went near the door as Drakenth came and took all of it and again closed the door behind him.

Oh man! What a workaholic boyfriend I got for myself. I sat and thought maybe that was how Fred used to think of me. But I still couldn't feel myself with anyone else even if Devionth was a workaholic.

I might wait and wait but I will get him at the end of the day.

I cooked lunch and was thinking if I should call Devionth. Because he would always come everyday for lunch.

Then a pair of hands wrapped around me and my lips curled up.

"Thinking about me?" He asked.

I turned around as I wrapped my hands around his neck. "And how did you know that?"

He shook his head. "I don't need any powers to know what you are thinking."

My cheeks turned red.

"You were thinking about how workaholic your boyfriend is, weren't you?"

I gasped and his smile broadened. "You didn't get your powers back, did you?"

He leaned and kissed me tenderly as if I would break any moment and pulled out as he said looking into my eyes, "Like I said, I don't need any powers to know what you are thinking, Carson. I love you for every bad or good side of yours."

I smiled as tiptoed and gave him a small kiss on his lips, "And I will love you no matter how workaholic you are."

"Oh! Then I can work as much as I want then..." He said with a straight face.

"Oh! No. That doesn't mean you are allowed to work all the time." I said with raised my both brows.

He looked down at me as mischief danced on his face, "Oh! So now that I don't have any powers, you are the boss... I see."

I nodded. "Of course. I am the boss even if you get your powers back."

"Ho?" He teased as one of his hands slid under my skirt and touched a very tender part of me.

My breath hitched as he whispered in a dangerously low voice, "Let's see who is the real boss, shall we?"
