Shaking his head, the demon looked to his beloved.
"But I could have, and just as easily would have if I wasn't stopped. I'm a danger to you and everyone in this building, love. I'm a bomb with no fuse, I could blow at any second for any reason." he said. Walking over to her, he put his arms around her, kissing her lips softly.
"I wasn't trying to treat her like a princess. I was trying to get her away from you. You saw her reach into her kimono. She was going to pull out a dagger and attack you, Demonia. I had to stop that, even if it meant taking the stab, myself. I'm not going to let her hurt you. She can hurt me all she wants, as long as she doesn't go near you." His arms held her tightly to him as he stroked her hair gently, resting his head on hers.
If I were to ever lose you, that would be it. You're the only thing that keeps me sane. If I were to lose you, I don't know what I'd do." He took his hand under her chin and kissed her lips deeply, looking into her eyes.
"I want to stay with you. Forever. You're the only one I'll ever love. That's why I got you this." he said, a small portal opening by his feet. Letting go of her for a moment, he reached down and into it, pulling out a long box. He handed it to her and smiled, nodding. Inside was a gold necklace, the charm a large diamond in the shape of a heart. It pulsated softly with a light blue glow, a blue core in the very center of the pendant.
