Soon, the girls'' eotions stabilized, and they calmed down. They were still scared, but at least they knew they were safe. And that was enough for them.


    Lucifer then turned to ire, who had been silent all this time. She just stood there, watching everything unfold before her with a stoic expression on her face.


    But Lucifer didn''t miss the subtle trembling of her hands or the slight moisture on the corners of her eyes. Those were signs that she was trying to hold back her emotions and remain calm. However, he wasn''t going to let her suffer alone. Not when he could ease her worries.


    "ire." Lucifer called out to her. When she didn''t respond, Lucifer walked up to ir and wrapped his arms around her waist. "What''s wrong? Are you hurt?"


    ire shook her head slightly, but she didn''t move away from his embrace. Her body felt rigid and stiff under his touch, as if she were a statue made of stone. Yet despite herck of movement, Lucifer could feel her heartbeat racing against his chest, pounding away like a drum.


    "It''s over, ire. You can rx now." Lucifer whispered into her ear while caressing her hair. "No one will harm you anymore. So just let go of that fear and rx, alright?"


    A sigh escaped ire''s lips as she rxed into Lucifer''s arms. She closed her eyes and allowed all the tension in her body to drain away like melting ice under the sun. After that, she wrapped her hands around Lucifer''s waist and buried her face in the crook of his neck.


    "Thank you." That was all ire managed to say before tears started flowing down her cheeks without warning. She couldn''t hold back anymore and began pouring out all the emotions she had bottled up inside. All the stress, fear, anxiety, worry, and frustration of the past few minutes came out in a single moment.


    Her muffled sobs shook Lucifer''s heart, reminding him of how vulnerable this woman could be despite her strength.


    And in that moment, Lucifer realized how much he liked this girl. This beautiful woman who had a tough exterior but was soft on the inside. She may act cold and indifferent, but he knew there was more to her than that. She wasn''t just an emotionless doll or a machine that followed orders without question. She was a human being with her own thoughts and feelings.


    A real person who felt happiness, sorrow, pain, anger, and joy just like everyone else.


    A woman with so much to give. A woman who deserved love and affection.


    ''Yes, she does.'' Lucifer thought to himself as he tightened his grip on ire''s body, holding her close to him. Then he lowered his head and ced a gentle kiss on her lips.


    At first, ire tensed up, but soon she rxed once more, kissing him back with passion. It was slow and sensual, full of emotion and desire. She melted into his arms and pressed her breasts against him, deepening the kiss even more. Her tongue brushed against his, begging for more.


    The girls were shocked at the sudden development, but they soon recovered and smiled at each other.


    Suddenly, they all felt a strange feeling in their hearts, wishing that they too could be in ire''s position. They all wanted Lucifer''s lips on theirs, his strong arms around their bodies, and his warm breath on their necks. They all wanted to experience that feeling, too.


    It wasn''t long before the kiss ended, and the two parted ways with a gasp. Their eyes met once again, filled with burning passion. However, Lucifer didn''t give ire the chance to say anything. He leaned down and ced another kiss on her forehead before pulling away.


    "Feeling better?" Lucifer asked with a smile. ire nodded as a faint blush appeared on her cheeks. "Yes, I''m fine. Thank you for everything."


    "No problem. It''s the least I could do for you after everything you''ve done for me." Lucifer replied as he released her from his arms and turned around to face the other girls. "What about you girls? Are you alright?"


    Melody, Susan, Rina, Elena, and L looked at Lucifer and then each other and giggled in unison. They each gave him a nod, assuring him they were okay.


    It didn''t take long for the police and ambnce to arrive, securing the hall and taking care of everyone present. They questioned the guests about the attack, asking about their injuries, and took down their information.


    However, no one seemed able to tell them much about what happened other than some weird pressure and ck mes. The police then took pictures of the crime scene before removing the corpses, taking them to the morgue for further investigation. Discover stories on m _v _le _mp _yr.


    They questioned Lucifer as well but couldn''t get much out of him. Lucifer simply told them that he was hiding under a table with the girls and didn''t know what had happened to the robbers. It was the same for the girls, as they too had been hiding under the table, afraid for their lives. So, in the end, they had to leave it at that.


    After everything was over, Lucifer decided to take the girls back to their homes before heading home himself. But Melody insisted on staying with him and refusing to let go of his arm. The other girls also followed suit, not wanting to leave him alone either. They all wanted to be close to him after such a traumatizing experience.


    They knew it was strange for them to feel that way towards a single person, someone younger than them at that, but they couldn''t help it. Something inside them told them that he would protect them from any danger. He would keep them safe and warm at all times.


    "Well, alright." Lucifer gave up, not wanting to argue with the girls, who seemed desperate to stay with him. He couldn''t help but smile at the thought. ''This must be a dream of every man on the. Getting clung to by a group of beautiful girls who don''t want to let go of him.''


    As soon as Lucifer gave in, Melody and the others cheered and giggled in excitement. Their eyes sparkled like stars, shining brighter than ever before. They looked so happy that it warmed Lucifer''s heart to see them like this. It was like seeing flowers blooming in spring after a long winter.


    ''Is this really something to be so happy about? Just what are these girls thinking?'' Lucifer wondered but didn''t bother asking them since he liked having them close to him as well.


    "So, where should we go?" Lucifer asked Melody and the other girls. "Do you all have any ce in mind? Or do you want me to choose somewhere?"


    "Why bother? We can just stay in this hotel!" Melody suggested. "It''ste already, so we wouldn''t find anywhere decent anyway. We might as well enjoy ourselves here, right?"


    "Huh, but don''t you think that''s kind of inappropriate?" Elena chimed in with a frown on her face. "I mean, we can''t let our guard down after what happened tonight. Plus, what if the media reports about it? We don''t want to be associated with any kind of scandal."


    "Come on, it''ll be fine!" Susan joined in and took Lucifer by the arm, leaning into him with a mischievous grin. "Besides, I bet you guys are also too tired to go out, aren''t you? Let''s just rest here for tonight."


    L also nodded her head. "I agree. I don''t want to go around searching for a ce to stay in such a big city. And I definitely don''t want to spend the whole night alone. Not after everything that happened here."


    Lucifer nced at the other girls and saw them nodding in agreement as well. Even ire seemed willing to go along with the idea.


    "Alright, alright. We can stay here for tonight then." Lucifer gave up. He was a bit tired from using the new power, and it didn''t sound too bad staying in a hotel anyway. "I am sure the hotel management will give us a few rooms for free to stay tonight; after all, it was their fault the security waspromised and allowed this to happen in the first ce."


    Lucifer''s words caused Rina to smile and nod her head. "Yes, that would be the best course of action. We can take multiple rooms for appearance''s sake, but we can stay together in a single room for as long as we wish."


    "Okay. I will handle the reservation. You all wait here for a bit." ire said and walked away to talk to the hotel manager, making arrangements for their stay. He became surprised at first when he heard ire asking for seven rooms but agreed withoutint, offering her several free rooms to spend the night. He even promised to have someone prepare a special dinner for them to enjoy.


    With the arrangement settled, Lucifer took Melody and the other girls up to his hotel room and sat on the bed. They all sat next to each other, talking about what happened and sharing their thoughts about the experience.


    Everyone was still shaken up by the events that had transpired, but they felt better after getting it off their chests. It was a bit difficult at first, but once they started talking, it was like they couldn''t stop themselves. They talked about everything that came into their heads and expressed their emotions like they never had before without holding back anything.
