Chapter 20

• Isabelle sat in front of the car quietly and Lucifer glanced so many times, wondering if she was regretting her decisions already. That's why he didn't come to pick her up until a day later. He wanted to be sure she wasn't being forced into thinking those would work between them. He took another glance at her and he saw that she was so focused on her phone, swiping back and forth. She was doing nothing with it, she just left it on to distract her. He shook his head.
• "Would you like me to turn on the radio?" He asked and he saw the way she jumped. He stopped the car immediately. He wasn't going further with this kind of attitude, she was acting like she hadn't known him for a while or like he held something over her head, forcing her to be his sub. The earlier they clear up this awkwardness, the better for both of them. This wasn't the Isabelle he knew and it was starting to irritate him.
• "Would you like me to turn the car around and drop you at home?" He asked firmly and Isabelle stared at him, all traces of playfulness were missing on his face. He looked like someone who was trying to put a lid on his anger and Isabelle shook her head. She had no idea why she was acting like this herself. Maybe the reality of them being bound together for as long as he wished was part of what was worrying her. She had no idea where this fear was coming from. This was just sex for both of them, just pure sex with benefits, but what if she started to see him more than just a sexual partner? Anything could happen now, so she was just going to ignore all of it. She took deep breaths and she reminded herself that she didn't have to have it all figured out for now, life was crazy and she just had to wing it as it came.
