    Perdition, noun: (in Christian theology) a state of eternal punishment and damnation into which a sinful and unpenitent person passes after death.

    ~~

    They’ve been doing this for years. It’s almost crazy, how familiar it all is. And every time, their excuses get flimsier and flimsier.

    Beca still has a boyfriend, Chloe still has to graduate, and yet time and time again they find themselves tangled up together, naked in bed or stuffed into a bathroom stall or sneaking out of a party.

    And Beca still has a boyfriend, and Chloe knows it’s wrong, but she just can’t seem to stop.

    Summary

    "No matter how desperate I get," Shadowheart says through gritted teeth, "I'm not that desperate."

    But her body is betraying her. It's responding to Lae'zel's suggestion, rising like a well-stoked fire, and Lae'zel lowers herself to the ground near Shadowheart's feet. Shadowheart's legs shift to accommodate her in an instinct so bone-deep that she can't stop it before Lae'zel is filling the space.

    "Give in to your desires, istik. Submit to me. In my experience," Lae'zel says, crawling slowly up Shadowheart's willing body, "the hatred will only make it sweeter."

    And then Shadowheart is being kissed so thoroughly that she forgets her own name.

    OR

    Shadowheart doesn't know much about her past, or her future, or even who she is beyond what Shar asks of her. But she knows one thing. She hates Lae'zel. She hates her so much that the gith hardly leaves her mind, and there's nothing that could possibly change that.

    A tale of misplaced hatred, building trust, and finding new purpose.

    Summary

    “Then make me,” she said finally, in a low tone.

    Shadowheart stared at her, confused at the response.

    “What?”

    “Make me understand,” Lae’zel clarified. “Or, if the alternative better aids you through this process, you may make me ‘shut up’.”
