Lustful Paradise

After remaining silent for almost two minutes, Gwen took a deep breath and gazed into his blue eyes before speaking up. "Lucifer, I really don't know what to say about this, but I do trust you, so if you think this is necessary for your work, then I will just have to accept it."

"Huh? Aren't you against me doing intimate scenes with a woman in a web series?" Lucifer asked in surprise. "Because that's what will happen."

"No, Lucifer. You're right that I don't like you doing this, and to tell the truth, I feel jealous thinking that some actress might get to do something naughty with you during the shooting. But still..." Gwen paused before continuing with a smile on her face. "I know that you work in an industry where such things happen from time to time, and if I keep stopping you every time something like that comes along, I will only end up hindering your work and causing problems for you and your agency."

As Vivian listened to her daughter's words, she found them surprising.

It was because her daughter had never spoken like this before, and her open-minded view on this matter was rather unusual, given the fact that Gwen hated Lucifer kissing the model in that commercial, and thus, she would have naturally assumed that her daughter would start shouting at him again for taking on this role.

On the other hand, Vivian also thought that Gwen might be starting to understand the true meaning of love and how relationships should be built on trust and mutual understanding of each other's feelings and circumstances.

However, despite feeling glad that her daughter finally seemed mature enough to understand certain situations, Vivian still didn't feel comfortable with the whole idea of Lucifer doing an intimate scene in a web series.

Yet, even though she disapproved of his actions, it didn't mean she could stop him from doing that.

After all, it was his job, and she knew that he needed to keep the interests of his company in mind, which was why he took the role in the first place.

At the same time, Lucifer found Gwen's strange attitude confusing as well.

Even though it was understandable that Gwen might not like him doing erotic stuff with an actress, considering how much she loved him, he hadn't expected his girlfriend to react like this.

It made him realize that maybe there was more to what she just said, something of which he wasn't aware of it yet.

Maybe her decision was influenced by someone else? And if so, whose influence was that? This thought made Lucifer wonder if he was missing some critical information.

"Gwen, who are you to say such wise words? How can I possibly compare your maturity with the way you always act? Am I really looking at the same girl?" Lucifer chuckled.

"Hey, Lucifer. You shouldn't tease your girlfriend like that. She has spoken from her heart and has given her support to you, despite not liking the idea of you doing erotic acts with an actress. Now, don't you think she deserves to be praised for her open-mindedness and understanding nature?" Vivian chimed in, defending her daughter from his teasing.

"Haha, sure, sure, Aunt Vivian. I will definitely do that," Lucifer said while nodding his head. "But before that, tell me, Gwen, how are you fine with this acting assignment after what happened last time when you watched my kissing scene? I am sure that there were many times when you have told me about how much you dislike watching me do intimate stuff with another girl. So, I am really curious to know the reason behind this change in you."

"Hehe... I guess I can't hide anything from you." Gwen said with a playful grin before leaning closer to his face and kissing his lips softly, then pulling back and continuing, "So you do know that Ashley and I go to the same dance studio. Right? Well, after watching the commercial where you kiss the girl, she tried to cheer me up by explaining that you are a part of showbiz, and these kinds of things happen all the time."

"She even explained how many married or dating actors and actresses do intimate scenes with their co-actors without affecting their relationships at all."

"Because she said that work and personal life should always remain separate and shouldn't be mixed with each other. And that the people who are in a serious relationship are able to overcome their jealousy and give their partners the necessary freedom at work."

"At first, I found it hard to believe her words, but she showed me proof. She had articles written about celebrities whose significant others don't mind them doing intimate stuff with another co-actor or actress and have a perfect married or dating life."

"Then she said that you have never done anything to make me feel insecure or doubtful about your love for me, so I shouldn't worry that you might end up leaving me because you were tempted by some girl you were doing the scene with."

"Instead of thinking like that, she said that if I trust you and love you, then I shouldn't let these little things come in our way, or else I would always have trust issues."

After pausing for a few seconds, Gwen added. "And honestly, after hearing such advice from her, I also believe that it's time for me to stop feeling jealous and worried over you getting along with another woman like I used to do in the university."

'I knew someone else was behind her change in behavior!' Lucifer thought to himself as he listened carefully to everything Gwen was saying. 'But to think that my Ashley is the one who helped Gwen overcome her jealousy and possessive tendencies. She never ceases to impress me... Maybe it was her way to make sure that when her relationship with me gets exposed, Gwen doesn't take it too hard. Ha ha.'

Lucifer nodded his head a few times after hearing everything. Then he pulled Gwen's body closer to his, kissed her on the forehead, and said, "I am happy that you are starting to realize these things and that you trust me so much. And don't worry. No matter what I do, my love for you will always remain the same, if not grow even more."

"Yea." Gwen responded while resting her head against his shoulder and smiling in delight. She felt relieved knowing that her decision pleased him, which meant that she made the right choice. 'Ashley was right. He has always loved me and will never leave me for some other girl, no matter who she is or how beautiful she might be.'

Vivian also smiled as she watched the scene unfold in front of her eyes... It was nice to see them being so close with each other and expressing their feelings towards one another without hesitation.

Though she thought there was something strange about what Gwen had said...

Something she couldn't put a finger on no matter how hard she tried...

Something felt wrong, but what was that? Why was her mind telling her that she should keep a closer eye on Lucifer?

Why? She just didn't know...
