Your long nails tap on the seat of your curved ebony throne, purring loudly at the speech your little darling was currently giving to his people.
Before this, you admitted he was a terrible leader, earning a huff and a pout which was quickly recovered with a grab of his throat and a loving kiss, pouring every ounce of your heart into it. You had been giving him some pointers.
After all, being the devil did have its perks, even in diplomacy.
He had strode through the personal portal that you had gifted him, looking proud and in charge before he had remembered where he was. He sheepishly deflated before you gave a little curl of your claw, a satisfied look on your face
" You've done well today, my little prince. Come " You rumble making the walls shake to their core, Lucio no better as his legs wobble coming over to you, falling to his knees in front of you.
" Y-You look lovely today… " He stuttered. You felt pride surge in your chest, bringing such a confident and boisterous man to a stuttering mess at your feet. You hum softly and pet his cheek, his lashes fluttering as he leaned his head into it, your claws brushing his jaw making him bite his lip " Love… " he mumbled, cheeks reddened.
You tilt his chin up and nod your head up. He perks up like a puppy and quickly scrambles his way on the throne next to you. He lays his head on your chest, your claws dragging through his fluffy hair, messing it slightly. But you liked the way he looked like this.
" I see a few grey hairs~ "
" Gah! You said that they wouldn't show! " He squeals, but when he hears your laugh, rumbling through his chest, his hands curl around your robes, nuzzling your chest " You scare me...Make me think i won't last "
Your heart, or what's left of it, goes out to your little lover. His soul had been yours of course when he eventually passed and he knew it well. But you knew his insecurity of his age and how he's already spent his mortal life and you liked to indulge in or once in a while.
Make sure he's not getting too cocky as The Devil's lover…
" Oh darling...I wouldn't give you up for the combined worlds- " You kiss his cheek making him smile wryly " But I'd be happy to rule them with you~ " You purr, claws fluttering through the opening of his shirt. He sighs shakily, your fingers curled into his hair as you pull his head back, a shaking gasp leaving his lungs. He bites his lip patiently waiting for your mouth on him. He's done well today so you oblige him, your lips fluttering up the column of his throat, up to the tuft of blonde hair behind his ear and sinking your teeth in just an inch under there, his hands finding purchase on your shoulders and squeezing, shaking in your strong grip. You mumble dead languages to him, ones that he couldn't possibly understand that even gave him a bit of a headache but he didnt care, as long as that rumble made his bones ache and his belly heat up.
You feel up his stomach, it tightening under your touch " Oh Lucio...You've been such a good little boy today...I wonder " You think aloud, tapping your finger against your bottom lip before pulling him to your level, blowing coldly over his lips, obediently sitting there and taking that torturous teasing. He was so good. Better than he used to be. So much better. You grip his throat and his eyes go to pinpricks, looking about ready to beg for something, anything.
" What do you want, puppy? "
He practically melts against you, nudging your noses together but not kissing you just yet, but so so close " I-I want you, darling. Please, take me. I've been waiting all daaay… " He breathes, mouth open and panting adorably, fingers clutched in your robes like he's already being ravished.
You chuckle making him squirm " How can i say no to such a lovely request? " You ask, pulling him close and kissing him, his mouth opening for you to take, take, take every part of him and not even caring if you gave anything back.
But you did. You gave this sweet boy anything he wanted in return for all of him, his body, soul, mind and most importantly, his heart. How far you've both come.
In a snap of your fingers, chains pull him down through the floor and onto an immaculate bed, even more so than his own. He was breathless already, barely holding himself up as he looked up at you as if you were all the scars in the sky, leaning in to cup your cheek and bring you down to kiss you, gently scratching behind your now pointed ears making you hum happily. With your new body you were finding new things about yourself, new things about each other. So many new experiences and endless knowledge to use them with. In your old body, the things you two have done now would have been damn near impossible, if not leathal, but like this, with ever changing anatomy and powers and his own willingness to adapt to those changes it was a new meaning to your relationship with your devoted mortal whos fragile soul you had in soft paw pads and harsh claws.
You slid your robes from your body, the threads falling away and slithering off the bed like snakes, Lucio not taking his eyes off of your body. He leans back at the careful touch of your clawed hand against his chest, lifting his arms for you to bind with your chains.
Once upon a time, these chains had bound him through bad decisions and weighed on him until his back aches. Now, he wore them with pride and devotion, bound willingly and loosely to you with all the chance to escape but taking no moves to do so. They still hurt sometimes, but with a new meaning of the pain that's brought alongside the pleasure.
Cruel and loving.
Hell and Heaven
As above, so below.
And right now, you were above and he below and he wouldn't have it any other way.
