Panic Room Angle
Chapter 20 - Angle Lilith"Rise and shine," Emmett whispered in my ear. His velvety voice pulling me out of my dreamless sleep. One I was thankful for, my heavy lids slowly peeled open. The pit of my stomach churning as the dread of what today might bring settled in. The mouth-watering smell of bacon and eggs filled my nose, and my empty stomach growled in response. I stared at the tray of crispy bacon, perfect dippy eggs, toast, and a small glass of orange juice. My brows pinching together in confusion. "You didn't think I was going to make you starve, did you?" Emmett teased, the corner of his lip twitching. The memory of last night's kiss flashed through my mind, forever branded there for the rest of my life, even if I didn't want it to be. My cheeks flush at the thought, forcing me to direct my attention elsewhere. The guy was a prince of hell and wanted me dead. I had no right to fawn after someone like him. No matter how devilishly handsome he was. "How do I know you didn'
Panic Room Act
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
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
