Lustful Paradise

Seeing her still a bit grumpy despite his apologies and compliments, Lucifer had no idea what else to do to make her feel better, other than pull her in with a grin and kiss her passionately.

However, unlike with other girls, he didn\'t want to use that tactic with Vanessa to fix everything. There was something about her that made him want to earn her affection, urging him to have more than just a passionate moment of lust with her.

Lucifer didn\'t know what made Vanessa stand out or why he was developing feelings for her. But he knew he didn\'t want to screw up their potential relationship just because she showed her beautiful body in sexy lingerie.

That was the main reason he had held himself back when he saw her half-naked earlier.

If that hadn\'t been the reason, there was no way she\'d look so stunning in that skimpy lingerie and not have a guy like him pounce on her sexy body in an instant.

\'Why the hell am I thinking so seriously about this?\' Lucifer asked himself as he looked into her eyes, still gazing into his soul. \'Am I a fool or what? Why should I fall for this woman and lose my head over her? I can just bend her to my will if I want. Just like any other girl.\'

As he thought about this, Lucifer felt his internal conflict intensifying. \'Ugh! I wish I could do something about it. I wish I could get rid of these strange desires and emotions that have started plaguing me after seeing her. All these stupid feelings I\'ve been having after our little chitchats, her smile, her lovely voice... I feel like a fool! Like a lovestruck boy! Damn, this is irritating!\'

Lucifer knew he wanted to get close to her, but his usual self was getting in the way.

This was something new to him. His logical brain knew he should have taken advantage of the situation by kissing her and getting physical, but for the first time, he had second thoughts about doing it.

The urge to push her boundaries was there, yet it battled with his inner conscience, which didn\'t want him to treat her like another notch in his belt of sexual conquests.

However, his thoughts were interrupted by Vanessa\'s voice, bringing him out of his reverie.

"What are you thinking about?" Vanessa asked, a teasing smirk playing on her lips. "Is it that hard to admit you were wrong in trying to play this game with me?"

Hearing her question, Lucifer let out a long sigh, releasing some of his pent-up frustrations before answering in a low tone.

"Actually, you\'re right in assuming that I was wrong. But it wasn\'t because I was playing some kind of game with you. I never meant to insult your beauty by not complimenting you." Lucifer gave a slight smile before continuing. "I just... I don\'t know how to describe it. Maybe I was trying not to look like a pervert."

Vanessa chuckled at his explanation, shifting a bit closer and whispering, "A pervert? Why would you try to avoid coming across as one? I\'ve seen my fair share of guys. Some were real gentlemen, and some were bigger perverts than I\'d imagined. But I\'m not sensitive enough to take a few naughty compliments as an insult. And let\'s not forget, I was expecting a few remarks about how I looked."

As she continued, Vanessa placed a hand on his bare chest, staring deep into his eyes. Her voice softened with a slight hint of sensuality.

"If you must know, I chose this particular set to please you, my partner, in our upcoming steamy scene. I wanted you to feel comfortable around me and maybe develop some attraction toward me, which would be needed during the shoot. Because I knew from our earlier interactions that you\'re no gentleman. So how could I even expect you to treat me like a treasured princess?"

"I didn\'t mean to—"

Lucifer tried to interject, but Vanessa cut him off, saying, "Wait! Listen to me first and let me finish."

After hearing an affirmative grunt from him, she continued, "I chose this skimpy outfit because I was looking forward to seeing how you would react and how you\'d act around me. That\'s why I was shocked when you walked past me as if nothing caught your eye. Even when you came out of the shower, I wanted to see your reaction. But again, nope! Not even a single remark about my stunning body and gorgeous curves!"

A brief, gentle silence filled the room before Vanessa resumed, her usual teasing smile returning.

"That\'s why I thought you were playing your own game by pretending not to check me out. You wanted to give me the impression that you\'re different from any other guy I\'ve met until now. Maybe you thought I\'d be more attracted to you if you came off as a mature, considerate man who treats women with respect and dignity." She paused, biting her bottom lip for a second before adding, "But let me tell you, you were wrong. Very wrong."
