Getting the bar set up without Mazikeen there to do most of the heavy lifting for him, or barking at people to do the heavy lifting, was a new experience in itself. He hadn't realized how much he'd relied on her to do so much for him. The day to day things. The contracts. The bills. Even the hiring of staff had been left in her capable hands. Lucifer didn't have much of an inkling of what constituted as 'good' in terms of staff for his place other than 'wanted to be there and was legally allowed to be'. Finding out just how low the drinking age was in Quarantine was a bit of a surprise and he had to mandate that there'd be an age restriction on the club itself. Why? Because he was pro-sex, pro-drugs, and anti-child. Having fourteen year olds dancing around would just kill the mood for him, so Lux would have an 19+ age limit on who'd be allowed in as far as patronage.

He was also still leasing out the other floors that hadn't been rented, so far two taken up by one Stephen Strange and some pack of hooligans with odd markings all over them who he'd been told may not take too kindly to Satan being their landlord. Well, that was their problem, wasn't it?

In an attempt to fill the other floors, before Lux opened for good, he'd be hosting 'come meet your potential landlord' parties; hosting lunches and little shindigs to help get the new staff used to what he expected and to give the potential tenants an idea of what the building would be like when the bar was in swing. Lucifer was all about transparency.

He could also be found in town, looking at furniture and possibly trying to find places to recruit staff and tenants. Or possibly in Lux itself just idly playing with his piano, pleased to have it back and to be able to play as he liked.

[Please feel free to PM regarding any potential cr ideas if nothing here suits your interest. Lucifer can likely be found in a variety of places and I'm happy to have him be more accessible if needed.]

Would you like a pillow? Maybe a towel? I do plan on getting you undressed.

[couldkillthedevil]

It's not necessary, but I'm hardly going to complain about you fetching something for me.

[Quipped back at him without pause. She certainly had no illusions about what he intended to do; that much was obvious.]

[hellicious]

Wait here...

[He leaned in and kissed her, a kiss that got drawn out more than he'd intended, purely because he just loved to have his mouth against hers. He loved the way she tasted, how she made him feel. It was always so much more than with anyone else, and he couldn't quite get over that.

When he could finally draw himself away, he made a soft grunt of contentment, then moved to head off up to the bathroom, to grab a towel, then snag a pillow off the couch as he came back.]

There we are. That should suffice. I'm sure you might actually shoot me if I explained how an ass-shaped stain managed to find its way onto my piano to anyone who asked.

[couldkillthedevil]

Right. You would be the type to just let it stay there for an ego trip, wouldn't you?

[A knowing quirk of her brow before she reached out to take the towel and pillow from him, propping herself up so she could adjust herself. Now comfortable and less likely to 'stain' said piano, she held her arms out in a beckoning gesture.]

You're not wrong about the shooting, though.

[hellicious]

For the memories, Detective. I'm trying to build them with you. We could look back at it later and remember the first time I had you on my piano.

[He stood there, watching her, amused as all hell.]

It'd help if we removed the rest of your things first. I'm afraid I oftentimes get carried away with you, and you seem to like your clothes in one piece.

[couldkillthedevil]

Mm. Memories. Sure. If your memory's that bad that you need a physical reminder, you're worse off than I thought. Ever heard of a picture lasting longer?

That is not an invitation, by the way.

[Oh, she saw that amusement on his face. But she gave as good as she got, especially with him.]

Carried away or not, you'll have to put in some effort first.

[hellicious]

Well you can't have it both ways, love. Either I get to snap a picture, or I get to make memories. Honestly. I'm going by the human rule-book here.

[And that's what he adored about her. She'd never fallen for his shtick. She'd always shot back when he'd thought he'd won. It was exhilarating.]

Would you like me to go first? I don't mind.

[couldkillthedevil]

Are you? And what human rules are you following, exactly?

[She had an idea. It's why he wanted her to move in with him so badly. Why he did things he didn't usually do in the interest of... well, them.

She leaned back on the piano, but propped herself up enough to watch him through half-lidded eyes.]

Why not? I know you like the attention anyhow.

[hellicious]

The ones where I woo you and try to build a home with you. That includes memories and courting and all those little human things that people do that I've never really understood, but it seems to make you all happy, so...

[At her admission, he grinned wider still, hands going to his jacket to pull it off. He wasn't wearing a vest today, so it was easy to just start unbuttoning his shirt, watching her all the while.]

I do. Now, would you like this to be an unveiling with extra, or would you prefer to keep it to just a naked Devil?

[couldkillthedevil]

You're not wrong. A lot of people like feeling secure in their relationships and all. As secure as they can, anyhow.

[She means what she says about him not being wrong. Wrong about it making her happy, that is. Her voice is low as she admits to that. And while this place may not be 'home' to her, his presence is enough of a home by itself. Him wanting that too... it means a lot to her.]

That depends. What would the 'extra' entail?

[hellicious]

[He pulled the shirt out when he got to the tucked in part, undoing the last two buttons and sliding the white cloth off to disappear off to the side with his jacket. Then he reached for his belt.]

I was thinking of how much you seem to like the wings... And how much I like that you like them.

[couldkillthedevil]

Ah.

[If asked, she would refuse to admit that her mouth had gone a little dry at the sight of him. That despite not being dragged in by his powers, he did affect her.]

Yes. Yeah. That'd be-- I want to see them.

[hellicious]

[She could edit her words, but she couldn't hide that look of naked desire on her face, and he hoped she'd never try. Undoing the belt and his trousers, he toed off his shoes, bending down to push the rest of his clothes off so he could step out of them.

As he did, he granted her desire, the white unfolding behind him, spreading out to become a feathery white backdrop for a naked Lucifer.]

You can do more than see them, you know.

[couldkillthedevil]

I know. But you'll have to come closer first.

[He always looked so unearthly when he let his wings free. Which made sense, of course, because Lucifer was unearthly in every single way. It still disarmed her sometimes, knowing he's who he really says he is. And even with all her research and ways of trying to understand, she still has a lot to learn. About him, and everything else.

But for now, she just reaches out for him, beckoning him closer. And it's not lost on her that she's tempting the Devil, which has a small smirk gracing her lips.]

[hellicious]

Mm, closer? How close would you like?

[He took a few steps forward, fanning his wings towards her until they almost touched her outstretched hand, but drew them back at the last minute. Ah, the tease. He loved teasing her, mostly because she was so exuberant in making him pay for that tease.]

[couldkillthedevil]

You know how close.

[Oh, she knew what he was doing, and she didn't intend to fold to him. Yet, anyway. Not without getting him and all those feathers thoroughly ruffled and puffed up.]

[hellicious]

Do I?

[He took another step, his wing fanning forward again, tickling against her shoulder before he drew it back. Oh, this was going to be fun.]

[couldkillthedevil]

And you're the one who always calls me a tease. Try looking in a mirror sometime.

[She reaches out to try and grip some of those feathers before they're sliding out of her hold again. Damn him and his 'fun'. Something like a grunting sigh escaped her at his teasing, tickling touches; close but not close enough. Not that she intended to give in and tell him that at the moment -- part of her wondered how long he could keep this little game up, after all.]

[hellicious]

[He may have been able to hold out if he couldn't see that it was affecting her exactly as he hoped, wings sliding out of reach before he spread them wide behind him, smiling as he took one more step forward. Another brush of them close to her, trying to keep them just barely out of reach, eyes sparkling mischievously as he grinned at her.]

You tease by existing, love. You always leave me wanting...

[couldkillthedevil]

I'd hardly call that my fault. Usually just breathing on you a certain way will get a reaction from you.

[She waits for him to get closer, not wanting to give anything away when he guides his wing towards her. They're close enough to just brush against her before he's pulling away again, and this time she follows, rising swiftly from her prone position to try and grab at them before he can move away entirely.]

You, on the other hand, are enjoying this way too much.

[hellicious]

Fair point, but it's particularly potent coming from yo-- ah.

[She got a hold of his wings, feathers bunching under her touch and shivering as the sensation was like a full body stroke over him. He stills his wings, watching her with something of an intensity to his gaze, fingers clenching and unclenching as he debated on closing in that distance and touching her.]

You've caught me, Detective. What do you plan to do with me?

[couldkillthedevil]

Whatever I want to.

[Spoken lowly as she strokes at him further, knowing how much it affected him and wanting to get him riled up. She noticed the way his body reacted to her whenever she touched him there; like it was a live wire of sensation. Her hand spreads up and over his wing, fingers bunching gently into the feathers before pulling away again, moving to another spot to do the same thing.]

You seem to like it when I boss you around anyhow.

[hellicious]

I do, don't I?

[He steps in more, wings ruffling under her hand as he sweeps the other one around her, caging her in white feathers as he reaches for her legs.]

Though, I should clarify that I very much do like it. I wouldn't want it to just seem like a thing. So, Detective. What is it you want to do with me?

[couldkillthedevil]

You already know what I want.

[Spoken lowly as she watches him close in on her. Her eyes were dark but alert in the dimmed light of the penthouse, an intent but easy kind of arousal.]

[hellicious]

Perhaps--

[He draws in a quick breath, stepping further in so he can step up just against her, fitting into that spread of her legs as he looked down at her, feathers almost docile in her hold.]

Perhaps I'd like you to say it.
