IN THE NAME OF SIN CHAPTER 31
THE PUNISHMENTS FOR SIN SIMON The world felt softer than ever. I could hear people moving inside the compound, but I stood outside with Arsen. "Don't overthink," I said in my mind. His voice was low. “Don't overthink it, Simon”. His low, unguarded voice always calmed me the most. “You belong here, Freckles. You deserve to walk without looking down.” I laughed gently, my eyes lowered. "You always say that," I whispered. "And I'll keep saying it till the day you believe it," Arson replied, his fingers tapping gently on my arm. "You don't have to pretend or hide who you are when you're with me," he added. Badly, I wanted to tell him that those words were dangerous to say, that he was just telling me what I needed to hear. But the way he said them, he made it impossible for me to speak. "Thank you," I

WHEN SAINT FALLS ARSON Simon’s head stayed on my shoulder for a long time. His breath was shaky, still carrying the faint sound of tears from earlier. The kiss we shared hung in the air like smoke, impossible to ignore. My hand rested on his back, feeling the slow rise and fall of his chest. The grass was moist from yesterday's rain percolating through my jeans, but I didn't care. I was with the man I loved. He moved closer, his thighs sliding against mine until there was no room between us. He raised his face again, staring into my eyes for an extended second, and then he kissed me again. This time it wasn't a soft or delicate kiss. His tongue brushed past my lips, filled with hunger that made my stomach flip. I matched his pace, one hand cupping the back of his head, his fingers running through my hair. He moved without a warning, swinging a leg over my hips, grabbing my hips. The kiss didn't break. His hands gripped my shoulders, His nails digging through my shirt.

LEANING IN. CHAPTER 29 ARSON The engine’s low hum faded into silence as we pulled over. The silence was deafening. For a while, none of us said anything. Simon’s face was still half hidden, as he folded himself, still trembling from the shock of what had happened. "Hey", I said to him softly, afraid to startle him. "We're here already." He didn't look up. He just tried to breathe slowly. I wanted to touch him, I wanted to reach out, but I didn't, not yet. He wasn't ready. I drove forward, the peaceful hill stretched before us, overlooking Edavane. It was my favorite place in the world. No crowds, no noise, just wind and space. I used to come here whenever I had issues with my father, when we had fights and conversations that made me leave the house at night. In five years of my life, I spent every day coming here. But since Simon came into the picture, I haven't been here in a while. He became my ease, my peace, the home I longed for. I didn't know how to explain to him,

THE AFFERMATH Simon. The noise from the banquet blurred the moment we stepped out. I bent over, gripping my knees. My breaths were shaky, and my ribs felt too small to contain my breath. Arson’s hand found the small of my back, “Simon” he said quietly. “I’m here. You’re okay. Just…look at me.”I couldn’t, I just couldn’t bring myself to do it. The ground felt like it was tilting. His voice from the toilet followed me, echoing in the back of my head. I covered my ears. “Stop.” I cried. “Please stop.” Arson pulled me in, his arms wrapping me. “Breath in and out for me.” His voice was low, more like a whisper. He showed me what to do, which looked almost ridiculous. Somehow, it helped. I focused on his breathing instead of mine, slowly my hands stopped shaking. But my knees couldn't stop vibrating.When I could finally lift my head, the courtyard glowed as a result of the reflection of the lights inside the banquet hall. Arson's thumbs were drawing circles on my back, slowly easin
IN THE NAME OF SIN THE BANQUET
ARSON I hated these things. The old me wouldn’t even be here. But I had to do come—for Simon. My father said “it would look good for the family, considering your reputation.” He said we needed to show respect to Father John, now he was back. I didn’t care about their bloody respect and formalities. I was just here to see Simon. My eyes wondered about, looking for Simon. I hadn’t seen him all evening. Last I saw him, he was at the far exit, struggling to hide his trembling hands. He looked spooked. Like a single touch could shatter him. I’d caught his gaze a few times across the room, but anytime I wanted to go close, something always happened. Either my fathers wants to talk, or he wants to introduce me to people who don't know me. Yet. Then he disappeared.At first, I thought he had gone out to get air—Simon never lasted long in a crowded space. But when the speeches started and he didn’t return, I knew something had happened. My eyes still wandered about, hoping that he was back

SIMON “Simon, you’re here finally. I thought you'd never show up.” Sister Marianne joked. I could only smile. My body and spirit was weak. The only reason I’m here is because we’re hosting the Banquet. I didn’t want to bump into Arson, not after what I’d said to him. It’s been over a week and there was no Arson at my window trying to call me at night, no one sneaking around the church just to see me. Maybe he finally realized that we would never work. The banquet hall was heavily designed like heaven—but felt like hell. The golden chandeliers dangling above the table, the light flickering like halo above sinners heads. Everyone was in Awe. Some stared for too long, but it was understandable. The last time we had such an event was eight years ago, when Father John came to Edevane for the first time. Everyone smiled too wide, spoke too loud and praised too easily.I always prayed against such events happening—I hated the attention it came with. Everyone’s eyes were on me. One slip
