Chapter 76: Until Next Time.
Catherine noticed Lucifer staring at her and smiled as she turned to him, their eyes locking together. "Something on your mind?" She asked with a playful tone in her voice.
Lucifer shook his head and smirked as he replied, "Just thinking about how incredible last night was. And how I wish I could keep you to myself! Not just for one night but for more. So much more."
"Mhmm... Well, that's a dangerous thought, Lucifer. Because if you keep talking like that, I just might cancel my flight and stay here with you." Catherine teased as she looked into his eyes. She meant it, even though she knew it wasn't possible. She couldn't leave France behind and move to Sunspring City, at least not for the time being. And Lucifer had his own life to lead here.
They both knew it, but there was no harm in teasing each other.
Lucifer smiled at Catherine's words and then replied, "Well, I wouldn't be opposed to that." His voice was low and husky as he spoke, and he couldn't help but think about how incredible it would be to have her stay in Sunspring City. He wanted to explore their attraction more and see where things might lead.
"Oh, I'm sure you wouldn't. But we both know it's not possible, not right now anyway. So, let's just enjoy these last few moments together, okay?" Catherine said, a hint of sadness in her voice as she knew she had to go back home. She wanted to stay, but it would have been unprofessional to just run away. She was a grown-up, after all.
Lucifer nodded his head and sighed. "I know. But that doesn't mean we can't keep in touch, right? I mean, we do have business together. So, it would make sense for us to stay in contact and meet again in the future. And maybe...
who knows? We'll see where things go." He gave Catherine a mischievous grin as he said the last part, a hint of hope in his voice.
Catherine smiled at Lucifer's words and replied, "I'd like that. I'd like that very much."
With that, they reached the security gate, where Catherine would have to say goodbye. She turned to Lucifer and pulled him close, their lips locking together in a passionate kiss. It was a goodbye kiss but also a promise of what could be.
Lucifer lost himself in the kiss, his tongue exploring her mouth as he held her close, savoring every moment of it. He didn't want it to end, but eventually they had to part ways.
When they finally broke the kiss, Catherine looked into Lucifer's eyes and smiled as she spoke, "And just to let you know, I won't go after another man, Lucifer. Not before our next meeting. So, you better make it memorable and exciting."
Lucifer smirked at her words and nodded his head. "I promise, Catherine. It'll be a night to remember, one where you'll realize that it's me you want. You don't want any other man but me."
"I can't wait, Lucifer. Take care of yourself until then." Catherine smiled as she looked into Lucifer's eyes, a hint of desire in them as she imagined their next encounter.
They stared at each other for a moment longer, not wanting to say goodbye just yet, but eventually, Catherine had to go. She took a deep breath and sighed before stepping back, her hands slipping away from Lucifer's arms as she turned and walked through the security gate, not looking back.
Lucifer stood there watching her leave, a smile on his face as he thought about their time together. He was already missing her and couldn't wait for their next meeting. It would be a long time until then, but he knew that she would become his, and he was ready to show her that. He had no doubt about it.
Meanwhile, Catherine walked through the security gate, her heart beating fast as she thought about Lucifer. She'd never met a man like him before, and she couldn't stop thinking about him. She knew she was playing with fire, but she didn't care.
As she walked towards her gate, she felt her phone buzz in her purse. She took it out and saw a text message from Lucifer, which read, "Until next time."
She smiled to herself as she read the message and replied, "Until next time." She then put her phone back into her purse and walked into the plane, excited about the possibilities that lay ahead for them. It was a new and exciting journey, and she couldn't wait to see where it would take them.
Meanwhile, Lucifer smirked before turning around and heading back towards the car, as he knew that he still had a lot of work to do. There was so much on his plate, including his work at the Miracle Model Agency and his university classes.
