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!]

"We could do togas?" Duke said, nudging a discarded sheet with his foot. "Also, I would absolutely like to reserve seats for when he really does try for an hour."

[okteiviakom]

Octavia snorted, softly. "Hour's not really up to just his endurance."

[my_own_advocate]

"Or you could just stay naked," Lucifer said sagely. "She won't let me try for an hour."

[betterthanaplan]

"You're right," Duke said, rolling over and wrapping his arm over Octavia while he pressed a kiss to her shoulder. "You were also very impressive. I don't think I could go for nearly as long. Definitely not a whole hour."

[okteiviakom]

Octavia's arm settled over his, her fingers rubbing idly at the inside of his arm near his elbow.

"We'll have to test that sometime, jaka, if you'd like," she replied, faintly amused. Then cast a look over at Lucifer. "Also, I have never stopped you from trying for an hour."

[my_own_advocate]

"You said it was too much," Lucifer pointed out. "Or... something like that."

[betterthanaplan]

“Right. Next time, an hour.” Duke peered up at Lucifer from his spot on Octavia’s shoulder. “What are we getting for breakfast?”

[okteiviakom]

There'd been a specific reasoning behind that at the time! Not that Octavia seemed inclined at all right now to get into that. Especially with what Duke had just said.

Both things, actually.

"Actual food, presumably."

Ha ha.

[my_own_advocate]

"Considering the options, I was thinking Thai," Lucifer mused, "Though I could go fancy and get a breakfast place on the mainland, but we'd be waiting longer."

[betterthanaplan]

"I don't mind waiting," Duke said. "I also don't mind Thai, but waiting means all three of us get to lie around here naked a bit longer."

[okteiviakom]

"Either's fine," Octavia said.

She was drawing another star against Duke's arm.

"French toast with fruit from the mainland it is, then," Lucifer said, tapping a few more options on his phone.

He put it aside and stretched out over the two of them, trying to steal a kiss from Duke. Hadn't had one this morning yet, and that clearly couldn't stand.

[betterthanaplan]

Clearly! Duke popped his head up off Octavia's shoulder to return that kiss, then smiled down at the shapes she was drawing on his arm.

"Feeling the urge to doodle, are we?"

[okteiviakom]

Octavia had looked up to watch them kiss, but now her eyes returned to her own hand again.

Triangle. Circle.

"Guess so."

[my_own_advocate]

"Edible body paint," Lucifer mused. "Now there's an idea for another day."

He decided he quite liked being sort of draped over both of them, so he lingered there for a bit.

[betterthanaplan]

"Oh hell yeah. Maybe we can improvise with fruit or chocolate sauce when the french toast gets here."

[okteiviakom]

Octavia snorted.

The shapes were getting a little more abstract.

[my_own_advocate]

Lucifer laughed softly. "Now, I'm not sure playing with our food is the best choice with these sheets," he mused, glancing briefly at Octavia.

Look, there was a reason he'd gone to paint, not to food. He remembered her reaction from last time.

[betterthanaplan]

Duke caught that glance, and while he wasn't remembering that event, he was perfectly happy to go along with what Lucifer was clearly hinting.

"Well. Far be it for me to suggest ruining your sheets."

[okteiviakom]

Octavia was grateful, in her very quiet, non-obvious way.

Just drawing more random spirals up and down Duke's arm.

[my_own_advocate]

Lucifer was fairly sure Duke hadn't been around for it, anyway, the first time he'd floated involving actual food with sex around Octavia.

"Perhaps she's just plotting out your next tattoo," he mused.

[betterthanaplan]

"Hmmm, maybe. Something kinda spinny." Duke picked up his hand just enough to start drawing shapes in return on Octavia. "I don't know, what do you guys think I should get next?"

[okteiviakom]

"More animals?" Octavia offered.

Or maybe that was just where she was trending, herself.

[my_own_advocate]

"The two of you are the tattoo experts," Lucifer pointed out, faintly amused, running his fingers up Duke's thigh.

[betterthanaplan]

Yeah, but Duke was kind of thinking like he should get a Lucifer themed one, and wanted his input.

Not that he was going to tell the guy that. That way probably lay another bout of panic.

"Animals are good," he said. "I've got my shark and the caterpillars, and of course the butterflies. What's something that says . . . strong and stubborn?"
