Lucifer's Mansion, Wednesday Morning

[okteiviakom]

Regardless of which bed it was, usually the middle spot was Duke's. But not last night. Lucifer was a devil of his word: he'd wrapped her up in his arms as soon as they made it to bed.

And he'd put her in the middle.

That was where she still was as she woke up this morning. She opened her eyes and saw nothing but the constellations of freckles on Lucifer's chest.

There were no words for how much better that was than staring at the ceiling on her boat would have been.

[ooc: For the two. eta: Somewhat NSFW for a bit there!]

Duke had been more than happy to let her have the middle spot last night, and had been clever enough to not make a big deal about it.

He'd gone to sleep as wrapped up around the two of them as he could get, but overnight had uncurled a bit to sprawl out on his back instead, though his arm and leg were still tangled up with hers.

He let out a faint, unintelligible mumble in his sleep, and started to gently snore.

[my_own_advocate]

It wouldn't be a surprise to her that she was the first one to wake, surely? Lucifer's arms hadn't moved much overnight, though he'd relaxed a bit back into the mattress.

His eyes were closed.

[okteiviakom]

It was not a surprise, no.

And Octavia spent a long moment perfectly still save for her breathing, just listening to Duke's quiet snore, and drawing patterns between freckles in her head.

Though eventually she moved just enough to do the same with the light touch of a single, very slowly moving fingertip.

[my_own_advocate]

He felt that. Somewhere in the depths of his subconsciousness.

Lucifer let out a soft sigh. Not quite waking yet, but closer.

[okteiviakom]

Octavia's touch didn't change any.

She drew a star.

[my_own_advocate]

Slowly, Lucifer's eyes drifted open. They looked a bit fuzzy.

[okteiviakom]

Octavia wasn't really looking up at his face, so she didn't know he'd opened his eyes.

She traced a slow spiral. And shifted a little, her leg moving against Duke's as she did.

[betterthanaplan]

Duke let out another faint mumble and shifted, pressing his leg firmer against hers.

And did not wake.

[my_own_advocate]

"'Tavia?" Lucifer murmured softly, sleepy.

[okteiviakom]

"Hey," Octavia replied just as softly, looking up. "Ha yun, skaifaya."

[my_own_advocate]

"Mm," Lucifer hummed softly, tightening his arm around her.

And apparently part of Duke's arm in the process. "Morning."

[okteiviakom]

So apparently being held tight didn't feel any less good this morning than it had last night. Good to know.

Octavia shifted just enough to kiss him. A proper greeting, and all.

[my_own_advocate]

Very proper. Lucifer fell into it gently, kissing her back slow and sweet.

Shifting, so he was pressed up against her more, his leg winding up in tangle with at least three other, similar limbs.

[okteiviakom]

There were a lot of limbs in this bed. And a lot of space going unused, even if Duke's sprawl was trying to make up for that.

Octavia's fingers pushed through Lucifer's hair. The kiss was languid and soft, but she clearly intended to linger for a moment.

[my_own_advocate]

Lucifer let out a low, pleased hum at the feeling of her fingers, her mouth under his.

His hand shifted, running along her side, her back, brushing against Duke's skin in the process.

The kiss grew maybe a bit less gentle.

[okteiviakom]

A bit was enough for Octavia to notice.

It was also enough for Octavia to respond in kind, even if some of the slow of it all still remained.

There was a low hum in the back of her throat, too.

[betterthanaplan]

Duke was well and capable of sleeping through a lot, but active makeouts in bed next to him did eventually penetrate his sleeping brain.

His snores died down, and he blearily opened his eyes to see his partners sleepily enjoying each other. He shifted, slow and careful, trying not to disturb them, so he could more comfortably watch.

[my_own_advocate]

Was there anyone in this relationship who didn't like watching?

... Probably a good thing.

Lucifer's hand slid back down over her hip, and then quite behind said hip, getting a firm grip on her. He sucked slowly on her bottom lip.

Mm.

Much worse ways to wake up.

[okteiviakom]

Octavia made a pleased noise that was a little louder than her hum fromm before. Not loud, but definitely a little less faint.

She'd felt the mattress dip behind her. And had noticed there was no more snoring.

Her nails, blunt though they were, scratched down the back of Lucifer's neck. Another sharper point of contact.

[betterthanaplan]

Duke made himself comfortable and settled in, biting his lower lip. There was nothing pressing going on right now, and they all deserved a nice, leisurely morning.

In a little while, maybe he'd invite himself to join as well, but for now, he was content right where he was.

[my_own_advocate]

There was definitely some pressing going on. Certainly after Octavia's nails dragged down Lucifer's back. His hips, to be exact, pressing up against hers.

He glanced briefly over her shoulder to see if Duke was still asleep. Noticed he wasn't, and then dove right back into the kiss.

[okteiviakom]

Where Octavia took her chance to nibble on his lip a little. Not too harsh, not quite gentle. Her leg slid over his hip as she tried to wrap herself further around him.

Maybe this was a thank you for last night, for the complete lack of questions or expectations about whatever she should share about how everything had gone.

For the middle spot.

[betterthanaplan]

Duke continued to watch, the hand not tucked under Octavia's pillow dipping under the covers to handle some of the somewhat . . . pressing parts of his own anatomy as they moved together.

[my_own_advocate]

Lucifer let out a soft sigh against her mouth. Squeezed a bit, teasing, as he rubbed himself more firmly up against her.

Then his hand slid down her thigh.

None of them were in any hurry. He could give in to the desire to just... touch her.

[okteiviakom]

Like Octavia was doing with him, running her fingers up into his hair, then back down to his neck again.

There was just one thing missing, though. And that had her using the leg she had hooked over his hip to try and encourage him to roll with her. Put her on her back with him on top of her.
