Because I regretted it like I regretted nothing else in my life. She was the only woman I ever loved, and she was the devil I regretted.
“Hello, little devil,” a familiar voice whispered.
“It's funny that you seem to think we're villains, Aurora, when it certainly seems we could learn some things from you.”
“You think we can't see the flush on your cheeks, hear your little gasps of breath, see how you're struggling to not touch yourself. Go ahead, slut. We won't mind."
“Nobody gets to hurt you but us, baby doll. But if you run, I’ll put it all back up.”
“If you pretend you don’t want me, little devil, if you try to hide how you feel in public—well, I’m going to make sure everyone knows.”
“I like seeing you wear the things I gave you. I guess I can take it back any time I want.”
“You haven’t earned your way up to slut yet.”
“You have to calm yourself, Delilah. It’s only death. You and I walk with death all the time. Why are you so afraid when it’s your own?”
“You like having someone take care of you. You like being told what to do,” he said. “Even if you pretend you don’t like to obey.”
“Why’d you leave without saying goodbye?”
“I thought I was protecting you.” “You weren’t.” I bit my lower lip, right before he leaned over and kissed the corner of my mouth. His fingers gripped my chin as he pulled away, his gaze burning into mine. “You’re mine,” he said. “Not Cain’s. Mine.”
The Demon had said, you can't trust anyone but family. The truth was you couldn't trust anyone.
“You told me you didn’t want me to touch you, remember?” “Maybe I changed my mind.”
“Maybe you need to show me, then.”
“No one’s ever going to hurt you again except for me.” “I don’t think you can promise that.” “I’m not going to promise. I’m going to prove it.”
“Are you sorry for saying you didn’t want me to touch you?” “Yes.” The word seemed jerked from my lips before I even realized I was going to admit it. But I was sorry at the moment, god damn it; I wanted more. “I forgive you, then. Next time, I’ll touch you.” A small smile touched his lips. “Best prepare yourself, little devil.”
”What have you done to me? I can't decide whether you're an angel or a devil. All I know is that I want you with every piece of my soul."
Judging from the way Cain looked at her, we were in trouble. Every single one of us… especially Aurora.
"Out of the darkness and into the light, to all that is good and all that is bright,"
"It's quite the dichotomy isn't it? The fact that you look like an angel tonight. So pure and lovely, you seem incapable of sin,"
"It's not really fair for you to look so perfect on the outside, when we all know how messy you are on the inside. Is it, little devil?"
And wasn’t it a shame that I’d once thought maybe I could love them. Because all that was left was hate.
