“Say red!” I bellowed, but he refused, giving me a sad smile. “I love you, angel,” he whispered, and the entire world stopped spinning.

Omg

You’re my lil’ spooky ginger boy, and I love the shit out of you.”

Awww i love them so much

“Hey, everybody! This guy called my friend here a faggot! To his face! Can you believe that!?” Naomi shouted to the gathering crowd. “Oh my god! That’s horrible!” one woman exclaimed, and Naomi nodded. “Right? Like, how out of touch is this guy?” “Grow up, buddy!”

Shes my favorite

He had his hand buried under her sundress, and the way he was thrusting his fingers in and out of her broke something in my mind.

Oh that dude is so fucking dead

“He said… he said he was going to ‘test me before they sold me.’”

“Shh, shh. This will help you calm down. Don’t worry. You’ll still be able to feel everything. It’s no fun if you don’t come while I fuck you.”

EXCUSE ME

He went to stab her again, but I was quicker. With my good arm, I ripped him off my future sister-in-law and tossed him across the room.

Damn straight she is

“Oh, angel. I never said anything about letting him live.” Without looking away from me, Ryan pointed the gun directly at Damian’s head and pulled the trigger.

Holy shit Ryan! You beautiful badass

“Makkkee surre, yeww….Tellll…urrr…sissstteerrrrr.”

In the middle of the room, what appeared to be an attractive man with dark hair and tawny skin manifested. He was wearing black pants and a crisp black button-up shirt rolled to his elbows. He ran a hand through his mop of ebony hair, flashing a block of script tattooed on the inside of his forearm.

shem!!!!

Just then, another demon manifested. This one was equally striking, though he had auburn hair and ivory skin.

gabe!!!

“The king of Hell is not happy with you,” he mused, speaking to Cal’s manic mother. “He doesn’t take kindly to souls that convince others to stay behind when summoned. All these souls are late for judgment. If they begin to fester, our Queen will be upset… and trust me. No one wants that.”

this is so much better knowing who we are talking about

“Your god won’t save you.” The rust-haired creature chuckled. “He’s a little… tied up.”

shut the fuck up!!

“I can confirm,” the auburn-haired creature said, shooting an amused look at his partner. “I made that mistake, and now I’m bound to serve this asshole for eternity.”

so true lol

‘Take care of him, ginger man. He’s special,’ Gavin said, nodding his head toward Cal.

He is

“Why did you do all this?” I asked. He smiled, and to my absolute fucking astonishment, he got down on one knee.

SHUT UPPPPPP

“Because your father is no longer with us, I couldn’t ask him for his blessing,” Cal said, opening the box to show me a simple gold band. “So I figured this was the closest we could get to having him here with us while I asked you this.”

Im gonna cry again

He slid it onto my finger, and I admired it briefly as he slipped a hand into his pocket to produce his matching band. “I want to do it!” I demanded, and he chuckled, handing me the ring.
