Panic Room Lust
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
Panic Room Missing Pieces
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
Panic Room Doom
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
Panic Room Gluttony
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
Panic Room Lure
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
Panic Room Sinner
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
Panic Room Ravenous
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
Panic Room Scheming
Chapter 29 - Scheming Gavin I always prided myself on my ability to tell when someone was lying. It was a gift only someone who needed to have control of everything, like me, truly possessed. Order created a sense of power. With power came leadership, and with leadership came the ultimate power and being one of the most powerful princes of hell created more enemies than allies. And being able to spot the lies spewed by some of the most cunning people in our world was a gift I often used to remain at the top of the food chain.It was how I ruled and how I played. If I wanted something, needed it, or couldn't get enough of it, I did whatever necessary to get it. Greed presented itself in every aspect of my day and followed me well into my slumber. I was, in every meaning of the word, greedy.But to catch someone in a lie was the most rewarding gift of all. Because it gave me control over more than just my own life, my own world; it gave me control over another soul, another living bei
