Chapter 21- ActEmmettIt had already been two weeks since Lilith first entered my home. Our time for planning was running out. We had gone over the plan of what needed to be done countless times. What Lilith was looking for from each house and what to do once she found it. When we had a concrete plan, one we went over each night to ensure we were still on the same page. During the day, I left her to her own devices—letting her roam my house at free will, anything to keep her away from me and the distracting thoughts that constantly plagued my brain when she was around. The only time we ever spent time together was at breakfast and dinner. Never indulging in another kiss after the first two I had stolen from her. Yet, I swore that sometimes I could still taste her on my tongue and feel the ghost of her lips against mine. It was becoming a problem all on its own, and I didn't want to jeopardize my plan because of old feelings. I couldn't wait to have her out of my house and out of m
Chapter 22 - LustLilith "Well, isn't this just cozy," Lucifer mused, appearing out of thin air in the corner of my room. I yelped in surprise, throwing my book from the bed. My heart was pounding so hard against my chest I swore it was going to burst. One could only wish."My god, you scared me half to death." Lucifer leaned against the wall, his crimson gaze burning into my flesh as he watched me. "What a shame. I guess you're trapped with us for a little longer. Though I suppose there isn't much torment here, seeing as Emmett has chosen to treat as a guest instead of a prisoner." Lucifer adjusted the cuffs of his jacket before stuffing his hands in his pants pockets. I hated how deliciously handsome Lucifer was; all of the princes were incredibly hot in their own ways. From the way, they held themselves in a room full of people. To the way, they dressed and groomed. Consistently crisp, clean, and calculated.Though I hadn't had a chance to be alone with the others and didn't lo
Chapter 23 - Missing PiecesLilith "Wake up," A snake-like voice whispered in my ear. When had I fallen asleep?The last thing I remembered was Lucifer leaving me paralyzed in my bed, ruining my plans of snooping through Emmett's house while he was gone. It was phase one of my project. To use Emmett's deal against him. Whatever he wanted to do, I was going to do it first so I could save myself and get the hell out of here and far, far, far away from Teivel and the Princes of hell.But to enact said plan, I needed to find whatever object he kept hidden too. Of course, I had no idea what I was looking for, but I felt I would know what it was once I saw it. "My queen, open your eyes. We don't have much time." I opened my eyes, coming face to face with a giant black snake, its tongue slithering out as it loomed over me, its onyx body wrapped around the bedpost. My body was no longer paralyzed as I quickly sat up, moving to the furthest corner of the bed, as far away from the deadly s
Chapter 24 - DoomLilith The last two weeks with Emmett flew by, and before I knew it, Lucifer was standing in the entranceway of Emmett's home, waiting to take me to my impending doom. I hadn't had much of a chance to plan how I was going to steal all the items from Emmett when the time came. Still, now that I knew where his gemstone was, after sneaking out of my room two nights ago to confirm it was, in fact, in that secret room, I at least knew where to find everything once I had solidified a plan. Though I still needed to make a plan to execute one. As much as I didn't want to deal with the snakes again, I knew I would have to. The vision I had after Lucifer trapped me in his magic confirmed it. I knew that Cleopatra was down in that hellhole. I knew she was the giant snake that had collided itself into a tight ball, watching me as I slaughtered her siblings, the ones all too desperate to taste my blood and devour my flesh to realize what threat I was to them. Without her, any
Chapter 25 - GluttonyGideon Panic room is busier than it has been in weeks. After Lucifer sent Emmett and me out of our little roundup mission, more people kept showing up. Eager to experience the thrill of the seven rooms designed after the seven deadly sins while also enjoying the alcohol and music on the dancefloor.I may be biased, but I always believed Gluttony to be the best room out of the seven, next to Lust and Greed, who almost entertained the same amount of guests as Gluttony did. It was funny watching all the clueless souls walk around the club damning themselves even further and making deals with without realizing the actual weight those deals held over them. The innocent were never invited here or at least were never asked by us to come here. But curiosity always seemed to bring even the most naive of souls here eventually; it never took much to corrupt a soul, to manipulate someone into believing one thing is correct while another is wrong, especially if you believe
Chapter 26 - Lure LilithDid I have a death wish? Most definitely. Did I also have a deadline for finding Gideon's "special object" before Emmett arrived? Also yes. So that meant I had to do everything within my power to ensure Gideon warmed up to me before my time ran out. It should have been easy; Emmett already told me how easy Gideon was to manipulate once you knew what provoked him. But after nearly a week of radio silence, I decided that waiting around for him to crack was going to take too long. That's why I took things into my own hands this morning, planting thoughts into Gideon's mind that would grow and grow until he would no longer be able to resist them. A touch here, a whisper there. I wasn't as innocent as everyone thought I was. So maybe Eve wasn't entirely wrong when it came to me being the black sheep of the family, a bad egg, and not just because I was potentially Lilith two point oh.It was because I was a magnet for unwanted attention regarding wannabe bad bo
Chapter 27 - SinnerGideon If sin had a taste, it would be Lilith. Tasting like crisp apples and fall air, and fuck was it addicting. Just one taste, and I was screwed. I knew it the moment Lilith walked into Panic room that I would lose whatever battle we were about to face. It was like time stood still, and I found myself, like my brothers, being pulled toward her. She was even more appealing than I remembered. It was like a blast from the past, except with someone I believed I'd never see again. Because she was dead, or at least we thought she was. But now she's here proving us to be the fools we once swore we weren't all over again. I thought I could resist her siren call, thought I could make it a few more weeks without caving into the gluttonous thoughts that plagued my mind ever since Lucifer appeared in my house with her by his side. But I was wrong; a weak excuse for the male I once was. Because before Lilith, I had everything I ever wanted. Everything but a queen by my
Chapter 28 - Ravenous LilithGideon was like a man starved; one taste was never enough. I was equally as obsessed with him, with how he felt against my bare skin, how sweet he tasted against my tongue, like freshly baked pastries. I knew I had to be careful with how much I allowed myself to be consumed by this need, this hunger. If I weren't careful, I would be lost, with no chance of ever returning. But in the moment, it was harder to see reason, harder to focus on what was real and what was fantasy.The days flew by, and suddenly, I only had one left before Emmett was supposed to arrive. I was no closer to finding whatever object I needed than I was when I arrived. Gideon kept every second of my day busy after finally giving in to his desires just weeks ago. From teaching me how to cook and bake to showing me just how many times I could come in a single day. I had no time to sneak away and continue my hunt. It was why I had to take advantage of Gideon's exhausted state tonight an
EpilogueLilith*Five Months Later*They say when life gives you lemons, you should make lemonade. But I prefer to cause mass chaos instead because there is nothing quite like the pleas of the damned to help brighten one's mood, and today was no different. I stared down at the woman before me, her chocolate brown eyes wide with shock and fear, her blonde hair a chaotic mess atop her head, and her once-tanned skin now grey. If I were anyone else, I probably would have been incapable of doing what was necessary. But I wasn't anyone else. I was me, Lilith, the Queen of hell, and watching my mother wither on the floor like a coward begging for her life was something I had only ever dreamed of until today. It was like looking at an older twin of the wretched sister I still loathed with all of my beings, some may call it petty to hate the dead, but I call it self-motivation, and knowing Eve had also died a horrible death made me infinitely happier. "L-Lilith, how are you here? I thought
Chapter 58 - Long Live the Queen Lilith "Are you ready for this?" Emmett asked, giving me a weak smile. I could see the concern swirling in his baby blues. It was strange seeing him care for me after everything that happened. Seeing six of the men I had loved once before finally standing at my side felt like a dream. Perseus gently kissed my cheek, ever the gentleman, narrowing his eyes at his brother."Of course she is ready, you moron. Who asks that kind of question right before someone ascends?" He chastised. Emmett shrugged his shoulders in response. "It was just a question, no need to bite my head off." "Well, it was a fucking stupid one." A smile lifted my lips as I fought back a laugh. "Perseus, it's alright. As much as it turns me on to watch you defend my honour, it was just a question." I teased, turning my attention to Emmett. "And to answer your question, my prince, yes, I am ready." "It's been a long time coming. But we must hurry if we want to complete this witho
Chapter 57 - Hollow LuciferYou ever just look back at one particular moment in your life and wondered how the fuck you could have been so stupid to let something that life-altering happen? Knowing that the whole ordeal could have been avoided if you had used your head instead of thinking with your dick. That maybe, just maybe, if you had truly been as coldhearted as you wanted others to believe, you would have ended this all before it even had a chance to start.That was what was happening to me right now, as I felt the well of power in my chest drain. It was at this moment that I wished I could go back in time and ring Lilith's pretty little neck until she was nothing but a lifeless shell on the floor of my office.I admit. I was a complete moron for falling for her trickery a second time, and the fact that I saw it coming but chose to ignore it in favour of having one last taste of our past was a terrible judgment call. Even I couldn't deny that Lilith coming back full swing and m
Chapter 56 - Freedom Winston Something was off. Nothing about me felt right, almost like I had been drugged. My brain felt like it was caught in a haze, my mouth was as dry as cotton, and my body felt leaden. It was like I was stuck in stasis right before I woke up. I wanted to open my eyes, but I couldn't. Using my voice felt as impossible as moving my limbs. "You won't have long before he fully regains his consciousness. Ask him your questions, and I'll knock him out again." A muffled make voice explained; I knew that voice, but with this brain fog, I couldn't place it. A frustrated sigh sounded beside me, much closer than the other person. The sweet smell of crisp apples and fall air filled my nose, a sense of longing filling my chest. I knew this woman beside me; clearly, she knew me, but how?What happened? Where was I, and why the fuck couldn't I get up? "Do you think he will still be violent after being like this for two months?" The woman asked, her voice barely a whispe
Chapter 55 - Judas LilithI let out a moan, relishing in the bite of pain from Lucifer's fingers gripping my hair as he thrust into my mouth, his cock hitting the back of my throat, making me gag and my eyes water. He didn't hold back, his magic letting loose and driving us both wild as it wrapped itself around us. My heart pounded in my chest as I tried my best to breathe through my nose and stop myself from gagging. "Fuck, Darling. You take my cock so well. After you swallow all my cum I'm going to taste yours on my tongue." His words were like a sweet song filling me with excitement. Right here, at this moment, we weren't enemies. We were two lovers who had found each other once again; both our pasts were now forgotten. He fucked my face with a need similar to mine, his release shooting down my throat as my name fell from his lips.Watching him come apart was a euphoric experience. Lucifer was the walking epitome of sex. He oozed it, mastered it, and was a conductor in the bedro
Chapter 54 - Submission Lucifer I felt like I was being put on trial again, just waiting for the judgment to pass before my wings were ripped from my back, and I was plunged into the depths of hell along with my brothers to pay for all my sins. But this time, Lilith was that test instead of my acts against my father, and as much as I wanted to ignore the temptress and everything she stood for, my hold on willpower had slowly slipped away without me realizing it. The tighter I held onto it, the more fragile it became. My hatred for her vanished as it was gradually replaced with lust, desire, and something else I wasn't ready to come to terms with. I was starting to detest my powers the longer I was forced to live with the succubus that was Lilith. I only had myself to blame because, from the moment I saw her, I knew I should have killed her but couldn't bring myself to do it. Something inside me stopped me before I could ever go through with it.Our past still haunts me; no matter h
Chapter 53 - TemptationLilith My heart pounded against my chest, my toes curling into the mattress as euphoric pressure built and built deep within me. My skin was coated in a thin layer of sweat. Lucifer hadn't even touched me yet, and his power was already consuming me, filling my brain with pleasure, making me incapable of forming words, let alone a single coherent thought. My clit throbbed in response to the overwhelming presence of his power. Lust and heat consumed everything I knew and was. My chest rose rapidly, making the silken sheets almost too much to handle as they brushed against my sensitive skin. Both my nipples were hard and exposed to the cool air. I was vulnerable, helpless, and so horny I felt like I could combust. It was maddening and the perfect form of torture for someone as twisted as Lucifer. I gritted my teeth, my eyes locking onto his crimson ones. The amusement and triumph dancing in them were enough to make me sick. "The clock is ticking, Lilith. You
Chapter 52 - Realization EmmettIt was like the first time I met Lilith all over again, except this time, I wasn't staring into those perfect emerald eyes while choking on my own blood, watching her smile down at me in victory while my heart still beat in her hand. No, it was much worse now. I was blindsided in a completely different way, one I hadn't seen coming but should have, and now I was working for her instead of against her causing my entire plan of fucking her over to backfire and blow up in my face. I had to hand it to Lilith. She was as cunning and manipulative as the rest of us, maybe even more so, and as much as I hated being made a fool again, I couldn't help but admire how fucking good she looked, screwing all of us over. She radiated ruler of hell energy, and funny enough, as more time passed, I found myself wanting to fall to my knees for her instead of her falling at mine.This Lilith was different than the last one. She had always called to me, to all of us befo
Chapter 51 - Lilith"Where's Winston?" Lucifer asked, his sultry voice waking me from a blissful slumber. I turned in my bed, finding him leaning against the entranceway of my bedroom. I narrowed my eyes, glaring at him. After Lucifer announced that he knew everything about me and how I wasn't just some weak human girl trapped in the seven realms of hell waiting for my untimely death, he left me alone for the rest of the day and night. I knew it was too much to hope that he would wait another twenty-four hours before gracing me with his presence, but not even I was that lucky. Of course, Lucifer looked as delectable as ever in his tailored Armani suit. His face was freshly shaven, and his panty-melting smirk was in place just like I remembered. I had hoped my attraction to him would somehow vanish over the last day to save me from the temptation that was Lucifer, but luck wasn't on my side. But not all was lost because I knew Lucifer was just as attracted to me as I was to him. A
