Chapter 386 - Extremely Tempting Poison

Inside Lu Jinan's room.

After taking a shower, Lu Jinan walked out of the bathroom with a small white towel in his hand.

'I wish.. Sera never remembers that.. That dreadful night.. I can see her happy with Ethan Lee, but not crying and screaming in the harrowing pain of the past.. I HAVE TO control myself and see Ethan Lee taking care of my Sera, instead of giving her pain..'

Donning a white bathrobe, Lu Jinan was absentmindedly drying his hair, his black eyes bleak. Staring at his own reflection in the mirror, the man sighed and carelessly threw the towel on the chair. His attention drew at the light blinking from his mobile phone on the table.

Quirking his eyebrow, Lu Jinan picked up his phone to see a voice message that had been transferred after the call was failed to connect.

The sender of the message was Sera.

"Hello? Brother..? Are you angry, please don't be upset with me.. I wasn't trying to disrespect you or go against you, it's just Ethan, he's a good friend and I'm sorry.. please.."

Terminating the message abruptly, Lu Jinan irritatedly threw his phone on the chair.

Standing in the balcony bearing the biting cold of the night, Lu Jinan took out his lighter with 'ROSE' signature on it, and lit a cigarette. Pinching it between his full lips, he took a long drag and blew it, creating wisps of the uniquely fragrant mint-citrusy smoke.

A distant memory that was a thorn in the bleeding flesh of his stone-cold heart crossed through his occupied mind. His gaze darkened visibly.

"I have to keep my promise! I have to bear this affliction, this gut-wrenching pain and see that bastard Ethan Lee, laughing and playing with my Sera..! I can't drive my Sera back into that darkness, from where she was once rescued by me, by us!!...'

Taking another drag, Lu Jinan continued to watch the starless night sky with a heavy heart.

After Xia Ruo Lan and Ethan Lee's departure.

Lucifer carried an embarrassed Sera in his arms in the darkness of the hotel's corridor and swiftly walked towards her room.

At the doorstep of the hotel suite, Lucifer swiped the key card in while still carrying Sera like a baby.

Once through, Sera started to struggle as she coquettishly pounded Lucifer's hard chest with her tiny fists, softly. It didn't even tickle him.

"Put me down!"

The man didn't listen a word as though he was deaf for ages. There wasn't even a slight change in Lucifer's expression as he carried Sera all the way to the double bed.

Before Sera could sit up properly, Lucifer's burning body pressed down on her. She gulped in horror at his obvious eagerness.

"You want to openly declare that I'm yours and you're mine to the whole world?"

"Yes"

With Lucifer's hot body so close that she could feel his hasty breaths on her neck, Sera felt her head buzzing. At this point, she suddenly felt that the double bed was becoming tighter than a small coffee table.

Glaring at the small face turning crimson, Lucifer raised his chin locking straight onto Sera's ruby red lips. The sensation of her softness akin to that of velvety rose petals. His big hand effortlessly removed his black coat, tossing it on the floor while he pulled the woman's soft body firmly against his.

His actions were executed rapidly, no time was wasted.

"Wait, wait, Lucifer.. I need to take a shower"

Embarrassed, Sera murmured those words when she was kissed by Lucifer as though she was a piece of sweet strawberry jelly savored by his hungry tongue and teeth, ravenously.

The man's kisses were becoming more and more heated and impatient, stirring up a fire not only inside of him, but also inside of Sera.

To Lucifer, the woman's petite body was better than any sort of delicacy in the whole wide world. He was like a starving lion, and the only food that could tickle his appetite was her. Therefore, the man had no reason not to taste her, consume her.

Sera wasn't wearing her usual outfits that were rather easy to remove. She was in a qipao. The top few of the delicately done buttons were undone by Lucifer. Her body tensed up suddenly and she grabbed his hand.

"Wait a second.."

Holding up his feverish body with the help of his elbows, Lucifer looked up.

His gray orbs filled with desire and lust, all enveloped into one in a light that reflected his love for Sera. He still managed to hold back when he heard her say wait.

There was no doubt that Lucifer loved Sera more than anything in the entire universe and naturally, wanted every inch of her, but he respected her even more. He'd never let anyone hurt her, including himself.

Breathing heavily, Sera's cheeks were a seductive rosy color that beckoned Lucifer to torridly rain kisses on her entire self. The half-undone qipao could barely cover her seductive body, her black and red lace brassiere was exposed to him.

The impatient man's gray eyes flashed with a faint light mixed with delight, and a little surprise. It was the first that he was seeing her like this, his throat was parched while his lips went dry and he licked them with his slick tongue.

In Lucifer's eyes, this kind of a sight was an extremely tempting poison that he was more than willing to consume it. So much so, that he'd even let the poison consume himself.
