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
Panic Room Psycho
Chapter 30 - Psycho LilithThe month at Gideon's flew by, and before I knew it, it was time to go to the next house. I wasn't sure whose house I would be going to now, I was supposed to go to Gavin's, but when I asked Gideon about it, he said there had been a change of plans, and he didn't know where I was going next. And that didn't sit right with me, especially not when it was paired with Gideon's sudden mood change. He went from not being able to get enough of me two days ago back to the standoffish attitude he had when I first got here. 'He got what he wanted from you, and now he's done.' The little voice in my head whispered.It's not like I should care about whether it was speaking the truth or not, but somewhere along the line, in the last couple of weeks, I had lost myself in the game I was forced to play. I lost myself in this fake reality I created to get what I wanted, needed to survive, and now it was catching up to me. A knock sounded at the door before it was pushed
Panic Room Bliss
Chapter 31 - BlissLucifer It took a lot to push me over the edge, but after Gavin's report back about Lilith's attempt to brainwash Emmett and Gideon, I reached my tipping point. I knew keeping her here was a risk, but I didn't think she could dig her claws into my brothers so quickly, not before we had a chance to make her pay for all the shit she did to us back then. I felt like an idiot falling for her act, but Gavin's report and a building list of other suspicions I had about the woman made the truth abundantly clear she is and always was our Lilith. I just thought she might still be too weak from whatever spell she used to bind herself to her human form to be able to get one over on us, and that was my mistake, one I was now working to rectify.Winston and I stuck a deal, one that would kill him if he broke it. He got to get a little crazy out while Lilith was reminded of who was in charge, a reminder that I ruled hell and that her little games wouldn't work here, not anymore
Panic Room Price
Chapter 32 - PriceLilith A blood-curdling scream filled the room, the sound loud enough to burst an eardrum. It took me several seconds to realize it was coming from me. Pain rippled through my body, and my stomach twisted at the sudden flare of pain. My vision blurred, and tears instantly poured down my face as the room spun around me.Every thought was drowned out by the screams tearing from my throat and the blinding pain coming from the knife wounds in my hands. I felt faint, my eyes threatening to roll back into my head as black started to spot my vision. Winston's hand connected with my cheek forcing me to remain conscious. "Ah ah ahh, Nightshade. Can't have you pass out when the fun has just begun." Winston tsked, placing the knife on the counter and exchanging it for a pair of pliers. I forced myself to swallow the vomit that climbed up my throat. A glint of pure madness filled the hazel eyes before me, a wicked grin lighting his face as Winston gripped my hand. A muffle
Panic Room Whole
Chapter 33 - Whole Lilith "-It's not a good idea." I heard Perseus hiss at someone as I was slowly pulled from a heavy sleep. My body felt like bricks were weighing it down. My mind felt like a hammer was pounding on it. But there was also something else that seemed to weigh down my chest. Something warm seemed to pulse on its own a tad bit slower than a heartbeat. My brain was foggy, and my eyes were so heavy. I knew there was no way I would be able to open them. Not now. "It's his fault we're here now. We need to act before it's too late." Someone clipped back, their voice familiar, but I was already slipping back into unconsciousness to focus on it. "Touch her, and you will-" Another voice cut in, but I blacked out before they finished their sentence. The pain in my body numbed as I drifted into the dark abyss of nothing. It felt as though I was in the ocean, floating on my back as I let the waves guide my body, each one in rhythm with my heartbeat. I felt like someone
