There Is No Devil Sinners Duet Book 2 By Sophie Lark-pdfread

He licks his lips, our mouths so close together that his tongue almost touches
mine as well.
“I want all of you. Every single part of you. I want to know everything about
you: all your history, and every thought that comes into your head. Every
desire, no matter how dark or how perverse. Every fantasy, no matter how
impossible it may seem. And most of all, Mara, I want to occupy your
thoughts like you occupy mine. I want you obsessed with me, bound to me,
dependent on me. I want you to live for me, not just with me.”
To me, this is a more terrifying prospect than when I thought Cole might
murder me.
My whole life has been a struggle for independence.
Every person who was supposed to love me tried to control me instead. They
tried to bend me and shape me to be what they wanted, so they could use me,
so they could consume me like fuel.
I pull away from him, standing straight, closing the robe and belting it.
“I put my life in your hands. I never said you could take my identity.”
Cole smiles at me, unabashed.
“I’m not trying to change who you are. I’m trying to reveal it. A diamond
can’t shine until it’s cut.”
I cross my arms over my chest, already knowing where this is going.
“And where do you plan to cut me today?”
He’s trying to hold back a laugh—never a good sign.
“Always so suspicious, Mara. It’s quite unjust, considering I’ve yet to make a
plan for you that you haven’t enjoyed.”
“That’s a generous interpretation. Especially since the journey to ‘enjoyment’
tends to be nothing less than horrifying.”
Now he does laugh, a sound that flushes me with heat. When the devil
chuckles, the world tilts a little on its axis, and somewhere, someone makes a
fatal mistake.
