She Belongs To The Devil

Adeline was thinking of scolding Theodore as soon as he appeared in her room. She wanted to shout at him for being so reckless and making her worry about him.

But instead, she ran towards Theodore and gave him a tight hug without even saying a word. She was glad that he showed up tonight.

Theodore picked her up and then gave her a warm bear-hug. And he teasingly whispered to her, "Oh, I like this kind of welcome. Why don't you always do this?" He seemed to be in a good mood considering the fact that he had just fought with his King.

Adeline wriggle down from the hug and then banged her fist on Theodore's chest.

"Ouch! What was that for?" Theodore asked while rubbing his chest.

"For making me worry about you," Adeline folded her hands and pouted..

But it was only making her look really cute. Theodore wanted to wrap her in her arms again and kiss her till she would get breathless. "I already got enough beating for today." He gave a playful smile and slowly leaned towards Adeline while whispering, "So why don't you give me a soft kiss instead of your soft fists?"

"You sure make it sound like nothing happened earlier during the day. What hap-"

Theodore closed the gap between their bodies and locked his lips with Adeline's before she could ask any questions to him.

Though Adeline did not find any visible wounds on him, she wanted to know whether he was hurt somewhere or not. And she wanted to know several other things. But she just melted in his arms when he began to kiss her.

Adeline could feel the soft brushing of Theodore's lips against hers. But the intensity of the kiss gradually increased and Adeline could not help but moan softly.

Theodore grabbed Adeline by her hips and then lifted her up without freeing her lips from his passion-filled kiss. He put her down on the bed, while vigorously kissing his woman. He loved sucking those plump lips of her and making it even plumper.

And he loved it even more when she would let out those sweet sounds of satisfaction while running her hands around his nape and hair. After kissing her to his fill, he finally let her breathe.

Adeline's chest was moving up and down rhythmically as she was trying to catch her breath. Her cheeks looked like a ripe raspberry and Theodore almost felt like biting them. But he knew that if he did that then he would want to do a lot more things to her, things that he had seen in his vision.

However, he controlled his urge to do so as he wanted to let Adeline ripen first. He wanted to wait for the moment which he saw in his vision. He lay down beside Adeline and put his arm around her waist.

Adeline finally got the chance to ask what had happened during the day. She turned to her side to face Theodore and then whispered her question, "Theo, what was going on earlier? Why were you fighting with your King?"

Theodore gave a grin to Adeline and simply shrugged his shoulder, "No specific reason. I just felt like challenging him for a duel."

Adeline's dropped her jaw and raised her brows in astonishment. And she slowly iterated his words, "You challenged the Devil King for a duel… because you felt like it?" And she asked a bit sternly, "Don't you fear him?"

Theodore chuckled as though she had asked him a stupid question and then said, "I don't even fear my father, why would I fear my brother?"

Adeline held her breath and kept on staring at Theodore for some time. She didn't know how to react to that new piece of information that Theodore revealed to her just now.

Theodore playfully poked his finger on her cheek and asked, "Are you okay?"

Adeline inhaled sharply and cleared her throat. Then she asked again, "The Devil King is your brother?"

"Yes, he is my eldest brother. And he has been the King of Hell for thousands of years now."

Adeline had never even thought that his own brother was the King of Hell. But then again, it was not that surprising. Who would rule Hell other than one of the sons of God?

"May I ask what his name is?" Adeline thought that it would be good to know about Theodore's siblings. It was only fair that she knew about them because Theodore already knew most of her siblings.

Theodore nodded his head and revealed the name of the Devil King, "His name is Samael. But he likes to call himself Lucifer."

"Lucifer… hmm…" Adeline memorized that name and then asked again, "How did he end up in Hell? Was he also banished from Heaven?"

Theodore took a deep breath in because he was reminded of his past, the past that he was not very proud of. But he tried not to show it on his face and then replied jokingly, "Yes, he was my partner in crime. We angered our father together and thus we were thrown out of Heaven together. His crime was greater than mine so he ended up in Hell and I ended up here on Earth."

"You are still angry at your father for banishing you, aren't you?" Adeline could see right through Theodore's façade even though he was smiling and was making it sound as though it was not a big deal.

Theodore smiled at Adeline and thought, "She understands me so well these days." And he nodded his head and said, "Yes, I am still a little angry at him. But then again, it was my own fault that he had resorted to that harsh punishment. And furthermore, I got to meet you because I was banished to Earth."

He caressed her hair and spoke in a loving voice, "And I get to spend every night with the love of my life. What more could I ever desire?"

Adeline also ran her hand through his feather-like hair and whispered, "So, are you going to tell me the real reason why you fought with your brother? Were you venting out your anger on him?"

"Not really… maybe a little. But not because we got thrown out of Heaven. I have long forgiven him… when he declared me the Prince of Hell and also gave the ownership of the gambling house to me." Theodore gave a proud grin to Adeline.

"So… why were you two fighting today then?" Adeline pressed him again with the same question.

Theodore wrinkled his nose and pressed his lips together as though he did not want to talk about it. Even so, he answered in a hesitant way, "I asked him to give me a sword forged in hellfire. But he said that he will give it to me only if I win him in a duel."

Adeline puckered her lips and gave a disapproving look to Theodore. "You really are stupid, aren't you?"

Theodore gave a whimsical grin to Adeline when she called her stupid. If it came out of anyone else's mouth, even Lucifer, then he would have probably punched them on their faces. But when Adeline said it, he was behaving as though it was a compliment.

Adeline had a serious look on her face. She slowly ran her finger on his chiseled jaw and scolded him, "Why would you fight with your own brother for some sword? When you teleported here earlier, you looked like you were struggling to even breathe."

"Well, I thought the sword forged in hellfire would look great around my waist," Theodore said sarcastically.

But as Adeline kept on glaring at him, he said in a serious tone, "It's not some regular sword. If a sword is forged in hellfire then it can even hurt the celestial beings, even my brothers. And I also asked Lucifer to make the dwarves forge the sword in such a way that whenever I would draw my sword from its sheath, it would ablaze with that same hellfire, making it thousand times dangerous."

Adeline was a little scared when he explained the sword's property like that. "Why would you need such a dangerous sword for? Are you planning to go against some of your brothers?"

"Well… Lilith had one, and I also want one. But I want mine to be better than hers." Theodore had a look of a jealous little kid on his face.
