Kapitel 277: A Bet

"Come on out." 

Evangeline hesitated for a moment, her gaze fixed on the message that Lucien had sent. It was unexpected for him to suggest going out when she had imagined something very different... But even as her face flushed about her imagination, she was secretly relieved. She liked Lucifer and he claimed he liked her but she felt they might be moving too quickly. 

She wanted him and yet she did not want to want him. "But, you wanted him to come here, tonight, didn't you? And now you are disappointed that he's come like he promised but you won't be able to have him... What relieved... You cannot lie to yourself." Her inner voice taunted her making her shake her head. 

"I'll be there in a moment.", she messaged him, trying to distract herself from what he might have to say about delaying their night together. Where would he take her tonight?
