Kindle Notes & Highlights
Jeremiah Rain is a thug of the richest kind. Leader and priest of Order of Rain. He’s cruel. Vile. Vicious.
I’m not at all surprised. This is Lucifer. This is the Unsaints. This is Cain and Atlas and Ezra and Mayhem. This is the blood brothers from hell.
You’re Lucifer. I’m Lilith. We own hell. We can own our own hells, too.”
bind myself to you tonight, No matter the shift of the knife. Through blood and bone, Flesh and heart, Death may come, But we shall not part.
“That means you’re mine for tonight, Lilith, no matter what I do to you. And I don’t feel like playing nice. I want to fuck the feel of every man you’ve ever had out of you.”
“Do you want to take over the world with me?” he asks, his voice husky, his lips brushing my skin. I let out a little laugh. “I’d do anything with you.”
“Say you’ll stay, and I’ll always be here. We’ll always be like this. You take my sins, I’ll take yours.”
“I’m afraid when I wake up, you’ll be gone.”
“We’ll figure that out. With you by my side, we’ll figure that out, Lilith.”
can’t stop fucking thinking about him. The taste of him. His hands on me. His voice in my ear. His scent. His blood. His lies. I press my palm against my forehead. I want him out. You can run Lilith, but you can’t hide. Not from me. Same to you, Lucifer. Same to you.
Lucifer might have ruled hell, but Lilith made it burn. And tonight, he’s going to find out just what that means.
“I’ve been looking for you,” he whispers, lowering his hand but not meeting my gaze. “I’ve been looking for the past year. I’ve been looking fucking everywhere for you, Sid.”
“But I never got your name. I fucking never got it.”
“You were my flinch,” I tell him, and I mean it. “When you slipped your hand in mine…” I smile, raking a hand through my short hair. “You were my flinch.”
“These are monstrous ties,”
In all my misery, in all this disgust I feel with my own body, I feel it. When he touches me, I light up. I want to melt into him. I want to burn with him. We can burn the whole world if we want. We can burn up hell if we have to. We can destroy everything we touch, and we can do it together, without burning each other.
Lilith and Lucifer are only good at burning things down, not building them anew.
Lucifer isn’t the only one who knows how to burn for her.
