Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Who the fuck are you?” I ask. He winks, one midnight blue eye twinkling for a second. “Lucifer,” he answers coolly. “And you’re my Lilith.”
Jeremiah Rain is a thug of the richest kind. Leader and priest of Order of Rain. He’s cruel. Vile. Vicious.
“It won’t matter because tonight, you’re not you, and I’m not me. You’re Lucifer. I’m Lilith. We own hell. We can own our own hells, too.”
“All of you. You’re fucking mine now.”
I 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.” I take a shaky breath. It isn’t a command, those words. It’s more like a plea. “Please say you’ll stay,” he urges me again, his voice more desperate. “You don’t want to die.” He makes those last words both a question and a threat.
“Say you’ll stay, and I’ll always be here. We’ll always be like this. You take my sins, I’ll take yours.”
Lucifer might have ruled hell, but Lilith made it burn.
Criminals have the audacity to do most anything when they’re already planning to break into a house in the middle of the night.
“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.
This is where we thrive. In the angst. The chaos. The toxicity. These are our own monstrous ties forming.
Lilith and Lucifer are only good at burning things down, not building them anew.
