Queen

He looked at me momentarily before nodding and tilting his head towards the passenger seat. "Get in the car."

I gave him a small smile and shook my head. I didn't need to be with him long after everything that just happened. I truly wished I could, but it's wrong. "I can't. I should go-"

"I wasn't asking, Beverly," he said lowly. "We can go to a pharmacy to get the morning after shit then I'll drive you home. I don't want you out here this late."

I looked around at the dark city and felt a cold breeze hit me. I was able to take care of myself but I missed having Syn around. Who knows when I may see him next after tonight. I wrapped my arms around myself and nodded as I walked towards the door.

I quickly got into the car and sat on the comfortable seat as I closed the door. I felt eyes on me and smiled when I turned to see Syn looking at me. "What?" I asked softly as I put on the seatbelt.

He started the car and smiled back at me as he shook his head and looked away. "Nothing." He looked out of the window in focus and pulled out of the parking lot. He drove quietly with ease with one arm on the steering wheel and the other rested on the armrest.

My eyes immediately moved away from him when he glanced in my direction. Shit, could you be more obvious? I bounced my leg nervously and toyed with my fingers in my lap. I hadn't been this nervous in years. I learned to control my nerves so I could be more intimidating to Hell's enemies, but around Syn, nothing worked. I felt exposed and naked under his gaze and in his company. A company that I had missed so much for these past years.

His hand on my thigh was the next contact that made my heart skip a beat. I bit my lip as I looked at his muscular hand caressing my thigh, and then I looked up at him. "Relax, Beverly."

"I'm relaxed," I said with a small laugh.

"Do you have to go home right now?" He asked.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean," he started. "Stay with me."

Yes. I wanted to give in so badly. Desperately even. I would've wanted to stay with him forever if he asked, but I couldn't. Lucifer asked me to not let him remember, and that's what I needed to do. Besides, I just cheated on Dimitri, I didn't deserve to be happy right now.

"I can't. I need to go-,"

"With your boyfriend?" He asked lowly. I watched as his jaw clenched and his hand gripped the steering wheel. When I didn't answer he glanced at me. "No worries, we did just meet after all."

"Yeah," I lied in a quiet voice as I turned my head back to the window. For a moment it felt like I had him back, but reality set in. He doesn't remember me.

"But I do plan on getting to know you," he said. "Boyfriend or not." My heart raced at his words but I remained quiet as he pulled into the parking lot of a store. He parked the car and got out and I did the same and closed the door behind me. I felt his hand snake around my hip and I jumped to turn around and face him.

He smirked at my jumpiness and looked down at me. "I was going to open the door for you."

"How was I supposed to know?"

He shook his head in amusement and pulled away from me to walk towards the small store. I made long strides in my heels to keep up with him and when he saw me staggering back he momentarily stopped for me to catch up.

"You can't walk in heels?" He asked as we walked into the store.

"I can, you just walk incredibly fast."

He chuckled deeply and the low noise shot straight through me and made me wet again as if we hadn't just had sex. Calm down Queen, it's just been a while. Which was the truth, I hadn't had sex with anyone since Syn died. I tried with Dimitri, I really did, but it felt forced.

My thoughts of Dimitri began to distract me as I thought about what would happen if he found of about this. Me, sleeping with a man he was already jealous of. He'd definitely leave me but maybe it was for the best...

"Hey," Syn said. "Are you alright?"

I blinked a couple of times and smiled up at him. "I'm good."

"Thinking about your boyfriend?" He asked as we turned into a random aisle.

"Umm," I looked around at the assortment of chips and frowned. Dimitri was always against them for some reason. His obsession with watching what I ate was beginning to take away my joys in life.

"Do you want chips?" Syn asked with a small laugh.

"What?" I questions, coming back to reality.

He pointed to where I was looking and smiled. "Would you like chips?"

I shook my head and wrapped my arms around my body. "No, I'm okay. Thanks for asking." He looked at me for a long moment and I raised my brow at him in question. "What?" Syn ignored my question and walked past me until he was standing directly in front of the snacks.

He picked one up and turned to me. "This one?" He asked. I bit a corner of my lip to hold back a smile and I nodded. I didn't even notice he saw me looking at that specific one. "Here," he said as he passed it to me.

I took it and held it against me as we slowly walked around the store. It was as if we knew our night together would end after this and we wanted to take our time. My phone vibrated in my back pocket and I rolled my eyes as I pulled it out. Dimitri had been blowing it up nonstop and it was getting annoying.

Dimitri: I'll take you not answering your phone as an answer. We're done.

His threat should've scared me. It should've motivated me to snap my fingers and appear before him, but it didn't. Instead, it gave me an excuse to stay with Syn.

I put my phone away and cleared my throat as I turned back to Syn. "Is the offer to stay with you still available?" I asked shyly.

He tilted his head as if he was thinking and I watched him nervously. It'd be so embarrassing if he said no. He looked back at me and shrugged. "For a price."

I raised a brow at him and smiled. "What's the price?"

"A kiss," he said as he stepped towards me. "Not just any kiss though, an I want to fuck you in the-," he looked around us. "In the constipation medicine aisle type of kiss."

I laughed and he wrapped his arms around my waist. "Do you think you can do that?"

"I'm not sure it'll be as great as those kisses but I'll try," I said. I tilted my head up at him and he smiled slowly as his lips closed down onto mine. His soft but firm lips felt the same against mine as they used to and I had the same nonstop butterflies in my stomach. If anything they were stronger now.

Our kiss became deeper as our tongues clashed and our lips molded. I didn't even know how it was possible for him to still taste the same, but he did. Someone cleared their throat and I pulled away from Syn to look at the intruder.

It was an elderly couple shooting us a glare and I rolled my eyes. "This is a store, not some whore house," the old woman said.

I scoffed and looked her directly in the eye. I wasn't sure if she knew who I was but I wasn't in the mood for her shit. I was horny. "Listen...Ethel, I would hate for you to have to die in the constipation relief aisle. Get your laxatives and move on."

The older man stepped forward and glared at me. "How dare you,?! You kids these days don't know how to be proper and not dress like a bunch of slu-"

Before he could say another word, Syn snapped his fingers and the man fell to the floor and the old woman screamed. I looked up at Syn in shock and he winced. "I didn't think that would work."

The old woman cried and fell to the floor beside her husband. "Wake up!" She yelled as she looked down at him.

I turned to Syn but instead of looking at the scene in front of us, he was looking at me. "What is it?" I asked.

"Why aren't you running? I just killed a man in front of you," he said.

I shrugged. "I've done worse."

"Like what?" He asked.

How could I fit murder, mass destruction, torture, and blackmail into one explanation? I didn't want to scare him off just yet. "I'll tell you one day, maybe."

"I'm calling the police," the woman cried as she pulled out her phone. It was my turn to snap my fingers and I watched as she fell to the floor with her husband. In a way, I suppose I did her a favor. I wanted to be killed after Syn died, now she wouldn't have to live a life without the love of her life as I did.

"How did you do that?" Syn asked in shock.

"I'll tell you one day," I replied again.

"Why do I have a feeling one day won't come?"

"I don't know," I shrugged.

"Hmm, well, as long as you don't lie to me Beverly." A wave of guilt passed me as I thought about the number of lies I had told just tonight. He would truly hate me if he knew.

He waved his hand and the couple in front of us disappeared. He turned back to me once again and ran the pad of his thumb along my lip. "That was the sexiest thing I've ever seen."

"Really?"

"Mhmm, I'll show you how much I liked it soon."

I swallowed and my core clenched as he smiled and winked down at me before taking my hand. We walked hand in hand through the store and bought random snacks along with the pill.

When we were done we walked to the cash register and an old woman smiled at us as she adjusted her glasses. She gasped as she looked at us and Syn and I looked at one another in confusion.

"You two are back together!" She cheered.

I panicked on the inside but I kept my composure and gave her a nervous laugh. I couldn't let her expose me to Syn, he couldn't find out this way. "I think you have us confused with someone else," I said sweetly. Syn seemed to be convinced as well as he began placing our items down.

The woman frowned and nodded slowly as her smile fell. "I'm sorry, I must have." Whew. I relaxed as she dropped it and we quickly paid and left the store.

"Where are we going?" I asked.

"I have somewhere I want to take you."

Not y'all killing elderly people in the grocery store...

But OMFGG Dimitri broke up with her! So why does it feel like that was too simple...? Just me?🧐

It looks like Syn got his powers back, any guesses as to how?👀
