by RuNyx

One day, she would be an inferno, and he would be the devil who controlled it.

"I didn't think you'd come," she whispered in the space between their lips, her body overcome with the emotions she'd felt in the last few minutes. His gaze intensified, and he leaned down, speaking right against her mouth, his words brushing her lips but barely, so close she felt them on her skin, a promise and the threat all in one sentence both claiming and capturing her. "I'll always come for you."

“The world isn’t ready to see who I would become if this—” his thumb pressed on her pounding pulse “—ever stops.”

“You have been, you are, and you will always be my only obsession, Luna Caine.”

“If there was any love in this world of mine, Lyla, it would be you.” Her heart stopped. “Dainn,” she whispered, knowing this wasn’t something he would just say casually, knowing it meant something. “I am darkness.” He kissed her softly. “I live it, I breathe it, I am it. There is no redemption, no emotion, nothing for me. Nothing but you. You’re the moon to my dark night, flamma. You’re the only thing in this black sky that can thrive when I swallow everything else whole. The stars don’t exist in this space. Just you and I. You need me to glow and I need you to exist. It’s simple as that.”

“If you ever choose another, make sure you kill me first. Because I—” he bent to whisper against her lips “—will annihilate the fucking world before I let you go.”

“You’re the oxygen that feeds my flames—without you, my existence is questionable.”

he held her, knowing that despite whatever came their way, he was never, ever letting her go. And if anyone tried… it would be the end.
