Lustful Paradise

Jessica, also stepping out of her car, seemed to notice his gaze as she pointed her thumb at the building and said, "Do you like the design of this building?"

"Yes, it's beautiful and very different from the usual buildings in the city," Lucifer replied with a small smile.

"Well, my husband built it. He always had a keen interest in architecture. So it's kind of his style and preference." Jessica smiled and explained before adding, "Well, let's go inside. I have already messaged him that I am on my way, so he should be expecting us. And he is in the office right now."

Then, after taking a deep breath to compose herself, Jessica led Lucifer towards the entrance. A rush of cool air greeted them as they stepped into the lobby of the building.

They were welcomed by a large reception desk, manned by an attractive receptionist who greeted them with a warm smile. Behind her was a wall covered with elegant pictures depicting some of the company's accomplishments, which gave a sense of pride and history.

Without wasting any time, Jessica led Lucifer towards elevator hall, and after pressing a button, a shiny, metal door slid open with a soft whooshing sound, revealing a spacious elevator.

Once inside, Jessica pressed the button for the top floor, and the doors closed, sealing them off from the world below.

The very next moment, Lucifer held her waist with his left arm, pushing her gently toward the wall and trapping her there. Her gaze was drawn to him, and her breath hitched as the elevator ascended to the top floor.

Suddenly, she felt something warm and wet touch her lips, and in a flash, her eyes snapped open, realizing it was Lucifer's lips on hers.

Jessica tried to move away, but with her back pressed against the elevator wall and Lucifer's arm on the side of her, pinning her, she had no choice but to stay. Her heartbeat raced, and her eyes grew wide in panic, but deep inside, a small part of her relished the contact.

The elevator ride felt like it was moving at a snail's pace, but in reality, it was a matter of seconds. In those moments, Jessica could feel the warmth emanating from his lips on hers, and the intoxicating scent of his body wash filled her senses, making her weak in the knees.

When the elevator reached its destination, Lucifer pulled away, leaving Jessica breathless. He gave her a sly smile and winked, stepping out of the elevator and leaving her standing alone, still stunned.

"Come on, hurry up," he said in a casual tone, not betraying the intense moment they had just shared.

The sight of Lucifer nonchalantly walking away from her was enough to break Jessica out of her trance and make her heart rate return to normal. 'Damn it. That scared the hell out of me. What if someone saw that?' she thought.

Soon, Jessica hurried to catch up with Lucifer, a flush still lingering on her cheeks from their kiss. She couldn't understand why he had chosen that moment to steal one, but she didn't want to waste time thinking about it.

Instead, she composed herself and led him to her husband's office, where she knocked lightly on the door.

From the other side, a gruff yet somewhat familiar voice spoke. "Come in." At the sound of the command, Jessica pushed the door open, and they entered the office.

Mr. Jones's office was a spacious room, lit by a bright evening sunlight that filtered in through large windows. The walls were painted a rich, royal blue, and the floor was covered in plush, ivory carpet.

"Welcome, Mr. Reynolds! It's a pleasure to meet you again. Have a seat." The man rose from his black leather chair and offered a handshake to his guest as he gestured towards the couch. "And you too, Jess."

"Likewise, Mr. Jones," Lucifer replied, shaking the man's hand before making his way to the offered seat. Jessica, with a hint of unease, joined her husband and sat beside him.

Soon, they began having a small talk among themselves, and at one moment, Samuel turned towards Jessica and said, "So, how was your time at the police station? Why did they call you there, Jess?"

Before Jessica could answer, Lucifer cleared his throat. "Well, the truth is, some paparazzi took photos of us leaving the main hall, Mr. Jones. As it was a big event, I am sure you already know how many paparazzi were trying to take some spicy news and pictures."

After a pause, he continued. "And it was during the time when all the CCTV cameras' footage was deleted. So the police just asked us a few questions. But there wasn't any other issue or trouble, as we didn't have anything to do with the robbery case in the first place."

"Well, that makes sense." Samuel nodded and let out a sigh of relief. "So, Jess told me that you were interested in buying a house?" He asked, changing the topic of conversation.

"Yes." Lucifer affirmed. "I want a house in the city that is big, spacious, and has at least fifty bedrooms, plus an indoor swimming pool along with a garden. It can be on the outskirts or even in the middle of the city, as long as it meets my requirements and is for around $50 million. That's my budget right now. Can you help me with this?"

Both Jessica and Samuel were dumbstruck by his specific request. They were awestruck by the thought of someone needing so many rooms in a single house. It was more like he needed a manor than a house at that point.
