Chapter 287: What Kind of Trouble Would It Get Him In?
Lucifer couldn't help but raise his brow at her explanation, finding it quite surprising how things had spiraled out of control because of a simple tease, and yet Madison felt responsible for everything, which was ridiculous. However, seeing her so anxious about the whole situation and trying to shift all the blame onto herself made him want to comfort her.
"Oh, Madison... Don't be silly now. We were just playing around with them. But one person's jealousy and another's temper made things go sideways." He said, giving her a reassuring smile. "But don't worry about it. I know I was also at fault, and I will apologize for it later, so you shouldn't feel guilty about it, alright? You didn't do anything wrong, so stop thinking that you were the one at fault here."
"Are you sure?" Madison asked with a doubtful tone in her voice, looking into his eyes as she tried to determine whether or not he was lying to make her feel better. "Because if I hadn't agreed to play along with you, none of this would have ever happened."
"Yes, I am. So just relax, okay?" Lucifer nodded his head, leaning forward to plant a gentle kiss on her forehead, making her heart flutter in delight at the unexpected act of affection from him.

"Cheh... Here you go again, being all touchy-feely with another woman." Eva clicked her tongue and complained as she glared at the couple sitting across from her. "Don't you realize that this is one of the main reasons that things turned out this way?"
However, Lucifer didn't seem to pay much attention to what his cousin had said as he focused on Madison instead, who looked up at him with a mischievous grin.
"Hehe... I guess I have to agree with Eva on this one, Lucifer. Look at you; you pulled me into your lap without hesitation, even though we don't know each other that well and just met today. Plus, you even kissed my forehead! I think it's pretty clear that you're the type of person who likes to touch and be affectionate with beautiful women, regardless of whether or not they are your lover or not." Madison giggled, wrapping her slender arms around his neck as she ran her fingers through his soft hair. "It's not good, you know. If you keep acting this way around me, I might fall in love with you."
"Hmmm... Don't worry, Madison; I don't think he would mind that at all." Layla chimed in with a smile as she watched the interaction between them. "In fact, he may be already planning something more with you."
"Hey now, don't go putting ideas into her head like that. I am not planning to do anything of that sort." Lucifer denied her accusation with a playful scoff. "I'm just being nice to her, that's all."
Madison gave him a playful smirk, her green eyes sparkling as she looked into his eyes. "Oh? Are you sure about that? Because, from the looks of things, it seems like you are enjoying having me sit here in your lap quite a bit. Just the way your hands have been wandering around on my body and groping my butt tells me otherwise."
Layla couldn't help but chuckle at Madison's remark. "That is some bad habit he developed after spending way too much time around his girlfriends and lovers. He doesn't even realize that he has been groping your ass this entire time."
Upon hearing that, Lucifer paused for a second, and then he glanced down to check where his hand was. He noticed that he was indeed touching Madison's round and shapely behind, caressing and kneading the firm yet supple flesh of her ass cheeks as he enjoyed the feeling of it beneath his palm.
However, he wasn't bothered by it and instead looked back up at her face with a smirk, continuing to grope her buttocks without reservation. "You have such a beautiful ass that I can't help but admire and feel it up. I hope you don't mind if I keep on touching you like this, Madison?"
"Is my butt like some kind of stress reliever for you, huh?" She giggled, leaning in close to his face, her full, luscious lips inches away from his. "You are asking permission to keep groping my ass as if asking for permission to pet someone else's pet. Do you have any idea how weird that is, Lucifer?"
"Weird? No! Naughty? Maybe!" Lucifer grinned widely, giving her ass an even tighter squeeze and making her squeak. "Besides, if you want me to stop doing it, all you need to do is push my hand away. But since you're letting me do as I please, then I assume it's alright for me to keep on groping and enjoying the feeling of your soft and plump behind. Or is that too presumptuous of me to think that way, Miss Madison?"
Madison bit her lip, feeling her cheeks heat up from embarrassment and arousal at his words. 'Damn it... Why is this guy affecting me so much? Although I am a fan of his work and fell for his cool act in the series, to think he is actually a hundred times better in person is driving me crazy!' She thought to herself, trying to maintain her composure. "What if your girlfriends and lovers find out that you are doing naughty things with another girl behind their backs? Wouldn't that get you into trouble?"
"Trouble? What kind of trouble would it get him in? They won't get mad at him for doing such things with another woman." Layla interjected before Lucifer could reply to the question, giving him a teasing look. "He has way too much leeway when it comes to doing such things, which is why he has become so brazen about it nowadays."
"I see... So he really is quite the playboy then, huh?" Madison mumbled under her breath, looking away for a moment to think, before turning her gaze back to Lucifer once more. "Tell me, Lucifer, how many girlfriends and lovers do you have right now?"
