Eternal Melody

Chapter 1016 My Beautiful Monster Part 117

SUMIRE/NORAH

The desk creaks and shakes beneath her, as Lucifer takes her over and over. In this lust filled haze, Sumire noted an odd mark on Lucifer's shoulder. 'Is that another blood bond mark?' She shakes her head. It's impossible to have more than one. Unlike the soul bond, one cannot have more than one blood bound partner.

"Kiss me Norah."

Sumire willingly complies as she opens her mouth and their tongues collide frantically. Such a desperate kiss, she didn't know he could kiss like this. Why does it feel like he is rushing? 

Perhaps, deep down he already understands that they don't have a lot of time together. Instead of spending time chatting, he would rather fuck her and memorize her body. Sumire closes her eyes. How can something so right, feel so wrong? It's not like her feelings have changed for this person.

'Mashima Toh, I am positive that I have never met him in any of my lives. But, for the current me to like him so much. Perhaps there is something there.'

Is it a new connection that was only formed in this life time? Sumire felt her voice getting hoarse as she continued to moan Lucifer's name. It's good, this feeling. It's easy to get lost in his touches, just like before, in their other lives together.

Before Lucifer could do anything else, they heard frantic knocks on the door. "Hey boss, boss, are you there?"

Lucifer exhales deeply. "I'm afraid, I can't ignore this."

Sumire nodded understanding as she fixed her clothes as best as she could. Lucifer chuckles as he drapes his robe around her shoulders. "Head to our room quickly, love. I got you some new dresses that are more your style."

"Can't I wear your clothes?" 

Lucifer shakes his head. "Unfortunately, that would be dangerous for you. My men aren't exactly good people. You shouldn't be exposed unless it is necessary."

"Says the man who was fucking me outside in the training grounds."

"That's different, those guys are like Jacks."

She recalls the lecherous gazes she felt. Indeed, that didn't come from the direction of the men who were training. It doesn't mean she has to like this situation.

Lucifer nuzzles his forehead against hers. "I shall spoil you rotten later, and make it up to you. So, please be patient."

"Can I stay here?" Sumire points to the books on his shelves. "I'd like to do some reading."

Lucifer paused but nodded. "I shall send your ladies maid to fetch you some dresses." He trails off. "Norah, I want you to stay here and wait until I return. Or, call Jacks to bring you back."

'My present self has certainly made far too many enemies.'

Sumire nodded. "Return soon."

Lucifer reluctantly let's her go before exiting the room. Sumire caught a glimpse of his companion, a man that looked very similar to Mashima Toh. But, unlike Toh. There was no trace of kindness in his eyes. So, this is what Lucifer meant by dangerous. It seems even his own men don't trust her.

She exhales deeply. It would be nice if she could give birth peacefully. But, Sumire felt like it wouldn't be that easy.

It wasn't easy, the next few days were one battle after another. Although Lucifer wasn't very happy about her being attacked and increasingly grew more agitated. Sumire was actually enjoying testing the abilities she had in this life. There is a mixture of her abilities in all eight life times. The blood ability is strong, but so is the fire. Is that because of her connection with Sora? 

Whenever Lucifer saw her use her fire ability, she couldn't miss the bitterness on his face and decided to not use it when he was around.

After testing her abilities, she can say for certain that her present self is a lot stronger than all her previous reincarnations. It's good that she is so strong, but even this strong person almost died in the hands of an uncontrollable beast. 

lightsnοvεl Sumire stared at her blood stained hands. She just finished dealing with another attacker. She was peacefully having tea with the librarian Grace when these people showed up out of nowhere.

Grace stepped out of her spot. "Already done?"

Sumire nodded. "I'm sorry about that."

Lucifer mentioned to her that the librarian Grace was friends with her current body. How Grace was the one who helped move the books from their old place to here.

"I must say, your strength is even more frightening than the rumors."

Sumire laughed weakly. "Is that supposed to be a compliment?"

"You truly are something and now that I know the truth, well it makes sense why the Boss never truly made a move on any of his other wives."

In order to continue her research she enlisted Grace help. According to Grace, 'I had to step into an odd door, and on the other side was a completely different place from the one we are in now. It felt like another world.'

If anybody else heard Grace words, they would dismiss her as a crazy person. However, she immediately understood. That's why Lucifer reacted like that when she mentioned their old place being nearby. It's nearby, but in a different world. This eighth life is not in the same world as the first, which makes sense. 

When she and Lex stepped into the portal of reincarnation, they made sure to go completely far from the first life world so that woman wouldn't find them. 

"About what we were talking about. I found information on the Sora you talked about, and the incident you mentioned that took his life and his betrothed."

In other words this world is connected to the seventh. 

'Everything leads me back to you Sora. My connection with Sora, is stronger than the one I have with Lex. I tried to deny it, but everything ends up leading her back to him and their powerful bond.'

"Thank you, I'm sorry this had to happen. But, can I leave you to- clear this mess up?"

"I'll call the personal guard and give my statement. If you're going to look for the Lord, I saw him with Miss Cynthia earlier."

Hearing the name of another female, Sumire is walking down the halls quickly. It's okay, surely it won't be like what happened the other day. Lex explained to her how that woman brought in some tea and accidentally spilled it on him, that's why he had to remove his shirt.
