NOAH

Death.

I always knew it would come for me.

Sooner than later.

That was never a fear, just a damned fact, the way some people know they’ll end up with their father’s hands or their mother’s temper.

I had a strong relationship with it. Grew up in the same room as it, practically. Watched it take my mother, watched it hover around every deal and every doorway I walked through after that. I didn’t exactly hate it either. That was probably why I even lived this long to begin with.

  • Daddies Know How She Tastes Better    CHAPTER 445: That Was So Fucking Easy

    A weapon shaped like a woman, something I could carry into my father’s house and set down on the table between us and watch his face do something it never did for me. I thought about how I could use it to get back to Thea. I can’t even find that man in me anymore. I go looking for him in the dark and he’s not there. It freaks me out a little, how far away he feels, like he was somebody I heard about secondhand instead of somebody I used to be every single day. Saraphina was the first time I can say, honestly, without dressing it up for anybody, that I loved someone. Whatever I felt with Thea, whatever I called love back then, doesn’t hold up next to it. Doesn’t even come fucking close. I loved Thea, I thought — but sitting here now, unraveling with nothing left to lie to myself about, I can see it clean for the first time that I simply loved the way Thea loved me. That’s a different thing entirely, and it took me dying to learn the fucking difference. Thea loved me loud.

    NOAH°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:・Death. I always knew it would come for me. Sooner than later. That was never a fear, just a damned fact, the way some people know they’ll end up with their father’s hands or their mother’s temper. I had a strong relationship with it. Grew up in the same room as it, practically. Watched it take my mother, watched it hover around every deal and every doorway I walked through after that. I didn’t exactly hate it either. That was probably why I even lived this long to begin with. You don’t outrun the thing you’re not afraid of. You just walk next to it. And you last longer in this messed up life when you stop flinching at what’s waiting at the end of it. Immediately you start treating it like an old acquaintance instead of a stranger with a gun. Death is a lithromantic lover. Always fucking coming for people who don’t desire it. That thought drifted through me in the dark, stupid and pretty and not like me at all. Maybe that was how you knew you were on the way ou

    “No.” I cupped his face with one hand and kept the other pressed uselessly against him. “No, no, no,” I whimpered as I shook him, both hands on his shoulders now, hard enough that his head lolled to the side. “Noah!” I got nothing in response. So I pressed my ear flat against his chest, waiting for that thump I’d felt many times before, but this time it was… silent. Just the fabric of his shirt against my cheek and the last bit of warmth still clinging to his skin, already starting to feel off. “Heart—” My voice cracked clean in half. “Your heart, I can’t… I can’t hear your—” The sound that tore out of me didn’t feel like it came from my throat. It came from somewhere lower, somewhere I didn’t know I had, and once it started I couldn’t stop it. “No—” One syllable, ragged, and then it wasn’t words anymore. It was just noise. Endless and ugly, the kind of sound that scrapes your throat and keeps going anyway. I heard footsteps approaching me, but the tears blurred everything

    He let out a weak chuckle, sweat gathering in beads along his forehead, catching the low light. His hand, when it found mine, was cold.“You heard me the first time..”I stayed silent anyway, searching his face, dazed, terrified that if I blinked the words would dissolve and I’d discover I had imagined them out of desperation. His eyes held mine, steady even as everything else about him seemed to be slipping. After a moment he exhaled, a thin wet breath rattling faintly in his chest, and a small, tired smile pulled at the corner of his mouth.“I said. I love you.”That was all it took. The tears that had paused broke loose all at once, spilling faster than before, because hearing it a second time made it real in a way the first one hadn’t let me accept.His hand rose again, trembling faintly with the effort, and his thumb dragged across my cheek in a clumsy attempt to wipe away the tears. It didn’t work and he only smeared them further, salt and heat spreading beneath his rough tou

    Behind us, Delgado let out a low, dark whistle. “Well,” he mused, tone dripping with cynical disappointment. “That’s anticlimactic.” I heard the dry scritch of his leather gloves as he wiped his palms clean, or maybe just brushed them together but I didn’t look up to find out. “Let’s go,” he told his men. “We’re done here.” Boots moved through the dirt, retreating toward the perimeter. Someone let out a brief, cruel laugh—a quiet puff of air under their breath—as the heavy silence of the woods pressed back in to fill the space they left behind, and still I couldn’t make myself care about any of it except the man in front of me. I dropped to my knees beside Noah so hard the impact rattled up my bones. “Noah.” I reached for him, but my hands didn't know where to land. They hovered, trembled, and finally pressed frantically against his blood-soaked shirt. “Noah, please.” He dragged a ragged breath into his lungs as his gaze slowly tracked up, locking onto my face. A faint, wre

    SARAPHINA°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:・My hand wasn't just shaking; it was giving out. My fingers were so numb with shock I couldn't even feel the handle of the knife anymore. The only reason it didn't fall was Delgado's palm crushing mine, locking my fingers into place around the grip and steering my arm where he wanted it. I had foolishly convinced myself that the last two hours were the worst thing I would ever endure. But this…This was a specialized kind of hell. Standing here with tears already burning down my face while the man I had defended in a suite full of balloons was being lined up to die by my hand.‘This can’t be happening’ I thought to myself as I waited for Noah to plead. I begged him with my eyes to do something.But instead, he just stood there, frozen as he stared at me for a silent, agonizing moment. Then his eyes drifted to the shadow of Delgado standing over my shoulder. He took a single, quiet breath.“Okay,” he said softly.“What?” The screech tore through my throat, hyste
