“So鈥� what? You want me to sign my name in blood or something?鈥�
鈥淗mmm,鈥� he said, tapping his finger against his cheek as he looked at the ceiling 鈥� the epitome of an overly dramatic thinker.
I rolled my eyes.
鈥淲hy don鈥檛 we just seal it with a kiss?鈥� he suggested, as if the thought of it didn鈥檛 gnaw at my intestines.
鈥淚s there a Door Number Two?鈥�
鈥淲ell, I could stay at your side every second until Nergal is dead,鈥� he answered. 鈥淎nd before you ask, there is no Door Number Three.”

“He pulled back, but only enough to lock his eyes onto mine as he held my face in his hands. 鈥淚t will always be you, Cassandra,鈥� he whispered against my lips. Then he kissed me again, much softer this time, as if gently transferring every ounce of love he had for me onto my lips. I didn鈥檛 need any words, this was all I ever needed to know that he loved me.
Everything around me faded. All my worries, all my fears disappeared when he touched me. We weren鈥檛 stuck in this Hell, we weren鈥檛 even in its realm. We were in our own world, no one around to save, or to slay. God, if only we could stay here. I didn鈥檛 want to face reality, not when I had him here with me now, not after thinking I鈥檇 lost him.”

“Are you okay?鈥�
鈥淲ell, I鈥檇 prefer to be in my own bedroom at home, dreaming of ponies and rainbows, but since I鈥檓 stuck here, I guess I鈥檓 as good as I can be.”

“None of us asked for this life. I, of all people should know that our paths were chosen for us and we were just along for the ride, doing what was necessary and expected. There were far greater forces at work here. He was playing my heartstrings, which sang a sad melody I felt deep in my soul.
For the first time, I could see him for who and what he was now. Even the worst incarnations of evil could change, and from this point forward, I would try to honor that. He was willing to put his life back in the line of fire to help me, and at the very least, he deserved my respect for that. Maybe even a second chance.”

“I鈥檒l deal with the consequences one way or another, but I鈥檓 sick and tired of sitting back and wondering 鈥榳hat if.鈥� I鈥檝e been a puppet for too long. Now that I know I have the potential to fight, I need to cut the strings and do something about it. There鈥檚 a reason I was created the way I was. I have to believe that, and I have to seek out my purpose.”

“They鈥檙e my peace offering for starting over. I gave you one once before, only to deceive you in the most unimaginable way. But not this time, this time, I assure you, my intentions are pure.鈥�
鈥淪o, you鈥檙e not trying to seduce me?鈥� I asked, only to prolong what I knew was coming. I wasn鈥檛 sure I was ready for it. His lids were getting heavy and I could feel the sexual tension building between us.
There was a gentle pressure at the back of my neck, pulling me closer, his face so close I could smell the wine we shared on his breath.
鈥淚 said my intentions were pure. That doesn鈥檛 mean I don鈥檛 intend to seduce you, Cassie.”

“His finger pressed my lips to silence me. 鈥淪o, tell me, my beautiful, little demon, how does it feel? Did you enjoy seducing Caleb to get what you wanted? Or were you so enraptured by the green of his eyes that you longed for his tongue in your mouth and his hands on your body?鈥� I gasped, but he went on before I could respond. 鈥淭ruthfully, I鈥檇 prefer the former, because it would mean since he鈥檚 bailed on the deal, I鈥檓 the only one left to help you. I must warn you, however, it鈥檚 going to take a whole lot of seduction to get me to help you now.”

“You know what, Hunter?鈥� I said, walking toward the hallway, ready to dismiss the whole hopeless conversation. 鈥淚 give up. I鈥檓 just a slutty demon who uses my body to get what I need. You鈥檝e proven your point. You can go now. I鈥檒l go to Hell alone. Guess all I really need to do is give a little tongue and they鈥檒l lead me right to my father, right?”

“A demon鈥檚 power comes from here,鈥� he said, placing his fingers on my temple. 鈥淗ere.鈥� He moved his hand and placed his palm on my belly. 鈥淎nd here.鈥� His hand covered my heart, with way too much emphasis on my breast. I sucked in my breath on a gasp, causing my bosom to press into his hand even more. My eyes came up and locked with his.
鈥淚 think this is the part that stopped you from pushing me away,鈥� he said, referring to my heart”
― L.J. Kentowski, Seeker of Fate

“Love? Yes, I do love. I never thought it was possible, hell, I never even thought about it as a Seeker. But you did something to me, Cassandra. You made me realize I still have a heart, regardless of what I鈥檓 made of. And you鈥檝e stolen it because there is nothing I wouldn鈥檛 do to be with you. But that includes staying as I am, even if I have the chance to turn.”
― L.J. Kentowski, Seeker of Fate

“This is worth an eternity of torture,鈥� he whispered. 鈥淚鈥檓 quite certain I love you more than anyone I鈥檝e ever loved, in any life. I may have lost my soul when I was turned, but it鈥檚 been replaced by you, Cassandra. I鈥檒l never let you go.”
― L.J. Kentowski, Seeker of Fate

“Look, are we almost there? Or are you just taking me in circles in order to molest me? I鈥檓 tired, I鈥檓 pissed, and I really kind of hate you, so could you just take me to my quarters and poof away somewhere?”
― L.J. Kentowski, Seeker of Fate

“Really? That鈥檚 all you have to do to make someone go away? Like, 鈥榩oof鈥�, they鈥檙e just鈥� gone? Christ, had I known that, I鈥檇 have gotten rid of a lot of people by now. You鈥檙e actually pretty lucky I didn鈥檛 have this nifty gift back when we first met.”
― L.J. Kentowski, Seeker of Fate

“Breathing heavily near his ear as he rested his head next to mine, I whispered, 鈥淚 wish we could stay this way forever.鈥�
鈥淵ou only need to say the word, and I would take you away from all of this. We could make love for eternity. I can be very creative, Cassandra.”
― L.J. Kentowski, Seeker of Fate

“She had become the demon, only too much, and too fast. I had an incredible urge to knock her on her ass, take her down a few notches. Turning her just got higher on the priority scale. That鈥檚 if I didn鈥檛 kill her first.”
― L.J. Kentowski, Seeker of Fate

“I was ashamed by my vulnerability. Nergal had really broken me. I tried so hard to stay strong, but my body couldn鈥檛 handle my determination. Eventually, I gave in to what I thought was my ultimate demise. Although my body was still weak, one look at my savior refreshed my will to live, to be strong. I looked longingly into the depths of his eyes, trying to convey my love for him, but there was no way to show how my heart beat just for him. He wasn鈥檛 my soul mate, he was my soul.”
― L.J. Kentowski, Seeker of Fate

“I focused on his eyes and really locked onto them. I could feel myself falling into a world of blue that wiped the chills from my body and filled my heart with warmth. The depths I could see in his eyes were far more than any hallucination could create. I recognized them as the eyes I gave my heart and soul to. They were the same ones that gave me Hunter鈥檚 whole being and never looked back. There was no doubt in my mind this was the man I fell in love with. I was doing it all over again in that very moment.”
