Lucifer's Mansion, Sunday Evening

[okteiviakom]

"I don't think I've got this."

It had been a while since the last Sunday night date night.

It felt like it had been forever. And Octavia's memories of the last date night of any day of the week at the house weren't great.

None of that was what was getting to her right this second.

"It's just not doing what I want, Lucifer."

She was trying to pipe some sort of ganache onto a thing of dessert in a dainty little bowl, and no, it was not going smoothly at all. As far as issues went, it would have been almost blissfully mundane, had it not also been so very frustrating.

[ooc: For that guy and massive SP.]

"I love it when you get filthy, niron," Lucifer managed, through a hiccup of a laugh. "It's delightful."

[okteiviakom]

"What can I say?" Octavia replied, as she managed to get her head away from his chest enough that she could actually look up at him. "You're inspiring."

[my_own_advocate]

Lucifer leaned in to kiss her, just once, quickly. "Shall we polish off this dessert, step away from this fraught conversation, and get naked?"

[okteiviakom]

Octavia made to chase him just a fraction after the little kiss. A good sign in itself.

She also gave a tiny snort. "Works for me."

[my_own_advocate]

Lucifer chuckled. He disentangled from her, but only so he could grab the dessert. And a spoon.

"Then that is our plan," he said, stabbing said spoon into the food.

[okteiviakom]

"Sounds like it," Octavia agreed, as she also reached for her briefly-abandoned spoon, and didn't hesitate to scoop things onto it.

Guess the dessert appetite was back. Funny how that worked.

[my_own_advocate]

That was the best sign of all.

Lucifer grinned, waggling his eyebrows comically, and then he took his bite.

[okteiviakom]

"What's with the eyebrows," Octavia rasped, "already picturing me naked?"

And she also took her bite.

[my_own_advocate]

"Always," Lucifer said, going in for another. "At any time."

[okteiviakom]

"Really, any?"

[my_own_advocate]

"Yes," Lucifer agreed.

[okteiviakom]

Octavia considered that for the length of another savored bite, then asked, "Even when I've just woken up and I can barely see or talk and I'm cranky as hell?"

[my_own_advocate]

"Absolutely," Lucifer said. "And you're beautiful in that moment."

[okteiviakom]

Octavia gave a soft huff, digging further into the bowl again. "You know you don't have to flatter me into bed with you anymore, right?" she teased, all amused rasp. "Or any other surface, for that matter."

[my_own_advocate]

"I do," Lucifer said. "As well as you know that I don't lie."

He took another bite. Mmm.

[okteiviakom]

"Flattery doesn't have to be lies," Octavia retorted.

Mostly just to be a brat.

[my_own_advocate]

"Can I not think of my own partner as extremely attractive, no matter what state she is in?" Lucifer inquired. "You could roll around in the dirt and stick branches in your hair and you'd still be a vision, I'm afraid."

[okteiviakom]

"Oh, I know better than to ever attempt to get you to stop thinking something," Octavia replied, "even if for some reason I did want to."

[my_own_advocate]

"Good," Lucifer said, taking his last spoonful of dessert. "Because I rather enjoy thinking of you naked. All the time."

[okteiviakom]

"I guess that's one way to pass the time," Octavia drawled, with a crooked little smirk, and licked her spoon.

[my_own_advocate]

"I can think of a few more," Lucifer said.

His eyes were tracking her tongue.

[okteiviakom]

Octavia knew they were. It was why the rest of the lick was a little more pronounced than it needed to be, and slower, too.

"Tell me more."

[my_own_advocate]

"Right now," Lucifer said, "I'm thinking about... you, upstairs, picking out what you'd like to wear tonight."

He set his spoon down with barely a thought.

"I'm thinking about watching you undress," he said. "I'm thinking about putting everything you chose on you, one at a time."

[okteiviakom]

Octavia was kind of careless about setting her own, now thoroughly clean spoon down, but at least she didn't miss the counter.

She was leaning a little closer again. "That's a lot of thoughts."

[my_own_advocate]

"What can I say," Lucifer said, his gaze flicking to her mouth. "You inspire me."
