Shooting him wouldn't do any good. As long as he's still got his actual wings, he can leave Hell and return to Earth. Which he'd do, because for some reason he just can't leave her alone.
At least someone around here watches movies, even if they're not the ones he'd normally pick. "Are you trying to get me to say no?"
He might want to come back to her now, but he hasn't been forced to sit through Frozen as many times as Chloe has. Sometimes she wonders if having Let It Go on a loop is actually Hell on Earth.
"I'm just trying to give you fair warning," she teases, gazing up at him as she tilts her head to the side. "You still have time to back out." The look on her face makes it very clear she doesn't want him to.
He can't actually promise that it's not. He has seen more of Hell even than those who are trapped there, and knows how it works, and that it's personal for everyone. So maybe that's exactly what it is.
"I do like tacos." She doesn't know this, but his life has slowly been getting more boring since he met her. Not quite Monopoly boring, but more boring than it was. And he let it happen. "I'm not backing out."
"Good, because I'd like you to stick around for a while."
The totally rational part of Chloe knows that this is a completely insane idea. Actually dating the Devil is going to come with unexpected challenges, and as much as Chloe wants to parse them all out, she is forcing herself not to. Because if she does, she will back out, and that's the last thing she wants. It's worth the risk, though.
She leans up towards him and kisses him again, her eyes fluttering shut as she wraps her arms around his shoulders.
By now it shouldn't surprise him when she kisses him, especially when they've just been talking about whatever sort of future they might have, but it still surprises him when she does it. There's still a little voice that says this can't possibly be right, a Heaven-sent human and the Prince of Hell. But when she doesn't change her mind, he relaxes a bit, as his hands move to rest on her hips.
Chloe pulls herself closer to him, her hand moving to splay her fingers through his hair while she moves her mouth gently against his. It almost doesn't feel real and yet, at the same time, she's not sure anything up until that moment has been real. She can feel the blood rushing to her cheeks, their previous joking and banter now a distant memory as she starts to think about what's going to happen next.
She pulls away to catch her breath, barely parting from him and she stares up at him, her hands moving down his chest and catching the top button of his shirt, pausing only briefly enough for her to ask;
This is what he had wanted since they met (although for different reasons now than they had been then). It's what he hadn't expected to have, yet here it is. He knows there are many reasons why this should probably not happen, but he's not one to listen to reason. He's more the 'live the life you want' sort.
"I'm no fool. I'm not turning you down a second time."
This is a whole new world for both of them and she doesn't want him to feel cornered, regardless of how much he's been trying to get her into bed since they met. The stakes are a little higher this time.
Carefully, she undoes the top button of his shirt, and then the second one, gazing up at him with every movement. "But this time I won't be pissed off when I wake up naked in your bed tomorrow morning."
This time they both know what they're getting into -- or at least what they're doing -- and that's good enough for him. He knew enough the last time to know that if he took advantage of the situation that he'd never see her again, and that's the last thing he wants.
"Good, that would make things really awkward." He's unsure enough of what comes next without adding more trouble to the mix.
This time it's him who initiates the kiss; they're not going to make it to the bed if they keep talking. And kissing gives him a reason to start to undo the buttons on her shirt in return.
She is thrilled to have him initiate this time and it's enough to shut her up. She finishes undoing his buttons and starts to push it off his shoulders her mouth straying from his only to work her way down his jawline, planting gentle kisses as her hands smooth over his shoulders. He's flawless and Chloe feels some of those insecurities about what all of this means to him flare back up again, but she pushes them away. It's different now. This actually means something to him, and she truly believes he's going to stick around this time.
He fully intends to stick around this time; it may have taken him awhile to work out what he wanted, but once he wants something, he doesn't stop until he gets it. He doesn't know why Chloe chose him, but she did, which was exactly what he had been hoping would happen.
Now if he can just manage not to screw it up.
His shirt comes off, and then he finishes with hers, which joins his on the floor. In one motion, without interrupting what her mouth is up to, he stands up from the couch, takes her hands, and tugs her with him in the direction of the bedroom.
She laughs when he pulls her up, nearly stumbling over her own feet as she follows his lead eagerly, leaving their shirts abandoned on the couch behind them. They are barely through the bedroom door when she pulls him towards the bed, guiding him down with her as she settles into the soft sheets. Chloe pushes her hair from her face and stares up at him again for a long, breathless moment, simply enjoying what has finally brought them to this point before she reaches out again, her lips eager and warm as they press against his. Her arms wrap around him with no intention of letting go anytime soon, be it tonight or the, she hopes, many days to come.
