Kindle Notes & Highlights
To the girls who think that the grim reaper will fuck like a god.
I wonder what you taste like, my dark storm. Your whimpers are like a symphony of angels. What will your screams sound like? Lilith, my night monster, my perfect other, soon, you will be all mine.
Death comes in shadows in the light; it does not need to wait for the dark. For him, I will come as a hurricane.
“You cannot run from me, because I will catch you. You cannot hide from me, because I will find you. I have smelt your scent, let it linger on my skin, you are imprinted in my memory. You are mine, Lilith. There is nothing you can do to escape me.”
But if you ask me of my Lilith? I will tell you that she is everything. Every gust of wind, every fallen leaf, each drop of rain.”
“You look beautiful in your bed. But you are utterly breathtaking in mine.”
“When my dark storm summons me with the promise of letting me taste her, I come.”
Now that I have had a taste of you, I will never let you go. We will be united soon, my storm.
EVEN IN DEATH
LETUM & LILITH
The fates have not yet called upon his soul. I decided that he lost it the second he laid his eyes on you.
they believe in nothingness, then eternal slumber awaits. If they believe in reincarnation then you will find them again on this earth, in this lifetime, or the next.” What do I believe? If I believe that I will walk the afterlife beside Death, is that what will happen? What did my parents believe? They weren’t overtly religious, though they didn’t dispel the idea of god with a capital ‘G’ or otherwise. Dahlia once said that she would be reincarnated into a rich person’s handbag dog, but I don’t know how much truth is in that.
“I have waited a lifetime for you, my Lilith. I am not letting you go.”
How I long for the taste of the night. How I long to hear the sound of the storm. I’m coming for you, my love. Once I take a bite, you’re mine until even eternity comes to an end.
“I’m claiming every inch of your mortal body. Next, I’m claiming your soul,”
“I want you, Death. I want all of you. I see it now. I see the truth,” I say. He wipes the tears from my cheek, staring down at me intensely with his forehead resting against my own. “You were made for me, just as I was made for you. You complete me, Letum.” I kiss him to try and convey everything I’m saying so he knows without a sliver of doubt that I am telling the truth. “I give you my soul. For the rest of eternity, it is yours. Even in death, I am yours.”
“You, my love, are like a storm, drowning the land with sorrow, shattering ships with your broken waves. Still, you look into the eye of the storm and see nothing but beauty.” He pulls my head to the side and dips down so his lips are against my ear. “Let me drown in your ocean and feel your rage. Let me feel your waves crash against my skin, pulling me deeper into your depths so you will never be alone again.” His thumb grazes my lip before he claims me completely with a kiss. “You are the sunrise after the storm. The new beginning and the dawn. You, my flower, are beauty personified.”
Death comes in the darkness and light, but for him, I will come in a storm.
