The Sinner (L.O.R.D.S. #2)

by Shantel Tessier

“You’re my heaven, and I’m your hell,” I whisper, making sure she understands her current situation.

Her flawless makeup is ruined. I like it.

I want toxic. I want madness. I want someone who makes me question my sanity.

When I burn the world down, and they ask me why, I’ll tell them the devil asked me to do it. And I wanted to make him proud.

“I’ll never set you free, little demon. It’s best you understand that now.” She licks her wet lips. “Because I’d hate to have to kill us both.” If I can’t have her, no one will. But I also would never want to survive in a world where she doesn’t exist. Death would be heaven compared to a life without her being mine.

“That’s what it feels like to love you, Ellington Jade Asher. It’s goddamn fucking consuming. Suffocating.”

But always remember, Elli, that I love you. And no man on this earth will ever come close to feeling what I feel for you. And if he thinks he does, I’ll rip his fucking heart out.”
