He winked as his lips tilted up into a smile.
“Then let’s see what you got princess,” Lucifer said as he charged at me. Everything in the world seemed to disappear as the sound of our daggers clashing against each other rang out.

Chapter 10
Catalina’s POV
“I’m impressed. You’re better than I thought you’d be.”
“Is that a compliment?” I asked as I tossed Lucifer his water bottle.
He smiled as he caught the bottle with one hand,
“It was merely an observation.” I rolled my eyes. Such a typical guy’s answer.
“Where did you learn to handle your dagger?” He asked as he took a seat on the grass next to me.
“Simple, There was an old gym by my old high school, I had a free period so every day I went over and practiced with it. Mainly through YouTube Videos and Gabriel of course.”
“Why?” I looked over at him, expecting to see that smirk on his face but instead, he had a look of pure curiosity.
“I wanted to feel safe in this world and I didn’t want to have to rely on Gabriel to keep me safe forever.”
I wanted to be able to stand on my own two feet and defend myself. No one should have to rely on another person to keep them safe. I learned a long time ago that no one was going to come and save you so you had to know how to save yourself.
I could tell he wanted to ask more but before he could I jumped up and pulled him up with me, avoiding that conversation as much as I could.
“Wanna go another round?”
“You should get some rest, we’ve been at this for a little over five hours.”
I didn’t want to rest. I wanted my mind occupied so I couldn’t think. I didn’t want to be in my head.
“Come on one more round.” I pleaded. One more round was all I needed and I would be okay. Lucifer looked down at me as I twirled the dagger between my fingers. He stared at me for a few moments. Watching every little movement I made, as if I was some puzzle he was trying to piece together but couldn’t decide where to begin.
“Very well but this time I’m not going easy.”
That was him going easy earlier?
I smiled as I walked back a good distance from him and watched as Lucifer pulled off his shirt.
You’ve got to be kidding me.
His tanned muscular chest was a work of art. Only countless years of training could create a body like his. He wasn’t rippling with muscles but you could tell he was built for strength. I couldn’t help but stare at the scars draping across his stomach and upper peck area and the tattoos that covered his chest and graced his ribs and stomach. So many scars on him but he tried to cover them with tattoos. Beautiful black and gray images coating his entire body. He looked like a warrior who had been born and bred for battlefields.
“Something piquing your interest princess?”
His mocking voice pulled me from the momentary trance.
“Don’t call me that.”
Lucifer smirked as he took his stance.
“I’ll call you whatever I wish.”
Arrogant. Always so arrogant. I flipped the dagger in my hand as I charged at Lucifer and the sound of our daggers clashing once again was music to my ears.
