Lustful Paradise

Chapter 226: You're Just Making It Worse!

"Hey, Vanessa. Are you awake?"

The voice behind the door belonged to Amanda, the writer of the web series.

Both Lucifer and Vanessa looked at the door, and Vanessa then glanced back to the picture before turning the phone toward Lucifer and showing it to him. "I think we should ask her to take a picture of us instead of posting this selfie. It came out a bit weird. How about that?"

"Sure, but first, we should find out what she wants from you, then tell her." Lucifer chuckled and tapped on her shoulders for Vanessa to stand up from the bed.

Vanessa nodded, then stood up from the bed, straightening her disheveled hair and adjusting her lingerie before walking toward the door. She opened it, revealing the writer standing outside.

"Hey, Amanda, do you need something?" Vanessa asked with a warm smile.

Amanda, dressed in a white bathrobe that hung loose around her body, exposing her cleavage and thick thighs, showed a paper in her hand as she replied, "Vanessa... I'm sorry to disturb your rest, but I forgot to give this paper to Lucifer, and I don't know where his room is. Can you tell me?"

'Hmmm... that's why I thought I was missing something.' Lucifer thought from inside the room, although she couldn't see him because Vanessa's figure blocked her vision.

"About that... Lucifer and I were sharing this room together." Vanessa chuckled. "He's right inside here."

Amanda's eyes widened for a moment before she regained her composure with a small smile on her face. "I see... Is it possible for me to talk with him for a bit? Or he's asleep?"

"Come in, come in! Don't worry!" Vanessa laughed as she pulled Amanda into their room and closed the door behind them, gesturing toward Lucifer sitting on the bed with his arms crossed. "As you can see, he's still wide awake!"

When Amanda saw Lucifer, wearing just his black boxer briefs on the bed and looking at her with a calm expression, she couldn't help but turn towards Vanessa, who was dressed in nothing but lacy lingerie.

"Vanessa, did I interrupt anything?" Amanda asked with a smirk on her face.

Vanessa giggled while shaking her head, denying any suspicions and replying, "Not really, we were just taking selfies! Look at this picture!"

Amanda stared at the selfie that Vanessa had just taken, showing off her and Lucifer's passionate kiss in bed. The expression on her face was rather surprised, as she couldn't believe how things escalated so fast between the two. Then she let out a small sigh and smiled before speaking again, "And you said I didn't interrupt anything?"

Vanessa just shrugged nonchalantly without giving any proper answer. Instead, she asked, "But aren't you curious why I took such a picture and why we were kissing?"

"Maybe. Were you practicing the kissing scene?" Amanda raised her eyebrows in curiosity.

"Well..." Vanessa paused for a moment before grinning widely as if she wanted to announce some good news. "Lucifer and I are officially dating from today! So I wanted to show off this picture to the whole world!"

"WHAT!?" Amanda looked startled upon hearing those words; it was as if someone poured cold water all over her body. "Dating? But didn't you just meet him today? What are you even talking about, Vanessa? Is this some sort of publicity stunt or something?"

"Hahahaha! No, no, Amanda!" Vanessa laughed at her friend's confusion before explaining further. "This is not a publicity stunt! We are serious about our feelings and want everyone to know that!"

"..."

Amanda stared at the two of them before glancing at their selfie once again.

'It's hard to believe them! They are saying that they fell in love so fast!' She thought as she looked at the pair, who were smiling at each other.

There was something between them—she could sense it from her years of experience. The atmosphere around them had changed. It felt like they shared a special bond now, something deeper than mere friendship. Something stronger. 'Maybe they are really in love, but even if they are... is it really alright for them to move so fast?'

"Anyways, here's the paper for you." Amanda handed the script over to Lucifer after snapping out of her thoughts. "I apologize for my mistake. Please forgive me."

"Don't worry about it." Lucifer took the paper with a smile on his face. "I'll be able to memorize it in no time."

"Say, Amanda..." Vanessa chimed in with a teasing tone in her voice. "Since you came here to see me and Lucifer anyways, how about you take another picture of us kissing? This selfie looks weird, and I want our first photo together to look perfect."

"..."

Amanda rolled her eyes at the request but complied with her friend's wish nevertheless. It wasn't like she had much choice, given that she forgot to give one of the papers from the script and owed him an apology. She just didn't expect for things to go this way and couldn't help but shake her head at the absurdity of it all.

"Sure, give me your phone," Amanda demanded while reaching out towards Vanessa.

Vanessa handed Amanda her cellphone so that she could take a better quality shot of the couple, then turned around to kiss Lucifer again.

But this time, they didn't let go right away. The kiss was deeper and more intense than before. It felt as though they were trying to prove something to everyone watching them: to show them that they belonged to each other.

While kissing, Lucifer reached his one hand behind Vanessa and grabbed her butt, squeezing it tightly as if he wanted to claim possession over her through that action alone.

"Alright, lovebirds! That's enough!" Amanda called out after taking several shots of them making out in front of her eyes. "The pictures came out great! No need to put on a show in front of poor, lonely me, who's suffering from singlehood. You're just making it worse!"
