betterthanaplan | The Cape Rouge "day spa", Sunday

It had taken some doing, but Duke had managed to get his hands on some outrageously expensive skincare products to lavish on Lucifer during his "spa" pampering, and he'd done his best to prep both the pillow room and the sauna on board the Rouge to match. He'd picked up some lotus silk pillow cases, and 700 thread count Egyptian cotton sheets for the massage table (so he wouldn't slide off when things got hot and sweaty).

All of it in silver, champagne, white with occasional pops of jewel tones, to match the color scheme of the white caviar pearl infused cremes and lotions.

Duke really hoped Lucifer liked it. He was only just realizing as he looked at it checking for any final touches needed that it might be a little too 'Silver City' for full relaxation.

He decided to go get Octavia and Lucifer before he could go full neurotic on that question.

[For the partners! And likely slow play somehow even with all three of us in the same timezone for once!]

Lucifer thought of a reply, and then let out a soft huff of amusement at himself. "I could argue," he said, "But you'd be relentlessly earnest at me in return, and I would lose."

Octavia glanced up at Duke with a little smirk that was... a lot on the fond side, okay. A lot.

"Oh, look, he's learning," she said.

From:

betterthanaplan

“He is!” Duke said, delighted. “We’re so proud.”

Lucifer definitely earned another kiss for that. This one square on the ass.

From:

Lucifer chuckled at that with audible delight. "I'm not completely hopeless," he promised. "At least, I've sometimes thought so."

From:

okteiviakom

Octavia couldn't really hold back her snicker, either.

(Not that she even attempted to.)

"I always think so."

From:

betterthanaplan

"Well, you are a well known optimist," Duke teased. "Of course you do."

From:

my_own_advocate

"And now, get on with it already," Lucifer griped, joking. "Or are you trying to deprive Octavia of serving me her bountiful pickings as long as possible?"

From:

okteiviakom

"I think we're trying to do the opposite of depriving you things," Octavia quipped.

It seemed like the perfect time for her to pop some of that fruit into her own mouth, actually.

From:

"I'm looking forward to all the innuendos you're going to make out of 'bountiful pickings', personally," Duke said, leaning his weight into working the muscles all along Lucifer's spine now. Not so much speeding up his process as just . . . broadening it across Lucifer's whole back.

Octavia had done a pretty good job of warming Lucifer up earlier, whether she knew it or not.

From:

my_own_advocate

"I was thinking about some to do with cherries, but I feel as if we've rather handled all of those," Lucifer said, and then groaned very appreciatively.

From:

okteiviakom

"You would have fruit puns ready to go," Octavia replied on a little snort. "Sadly I didn't specifically cater to that when I was picking the snacks."

From:

betterthanaplan

"Probably for the best," Duke noted. "He might get too distracted from the rest of the, uh. Bounty."

From:

"Suppose she didn't need to bring any more melons than she already has," Lucifer mused.

From:

okteiviakom

Octavia rolled her eyes, like she hadn't at least helped bring this on herself.

She pointed in the general direction of Lucifer's face, looking up at Duke. "Do you think that's getting distracted?"

From:

betterthanaplan

"That's the usual amount of distracted?" Duke noted.

And dug his elbow into a stubborn knot by Lucifer's shoulder blade.

From:

my_own_advocate

"In my defense," Lucifer started.

And then made a noise that was, at least, second cousin to an 'oof'.

From:

okteiviakom

"Clever."

From:

betterthanaplan

Duke flicked her a slightly evil grin as the knot slowly worked itself out and he let up.

"You were saying, babe?"

From:

my_own_advocate

"I forgot," Lucifer managed.

From:

okteiviakom

"I liked that," Octavia told Duke, completely lacking in shame about it. But then again: "So did he."

From:

betterthanaplan

"I thought you guys might. I'd offer to do it again, but I'd have to find another good knot first." He started in on Lucifer's shoulders. "So I might, but no promises."
