#beautiful sin

- "Whatever your past is, it doesn’t matter to me because I see the man behind it all. From the time I spent with you, I know how kind you are. How protective you can be. I’m not turning my back on you like everyone else. So, if you want me out of your life, you’re going to have to try harder than that.”

- “This kind of love will break you, Buck.”

- “I’m willing to be broken.”

Stucky AU - Beautiful Sin

Chapter 7 ♡ 

The house had a warm tinge to it, thanks to the dozens of candles, providing the only source of light. Ulrike walked slowly, eyes fixed on the man in front of her. He appeared human but that did nothing to ease her discomfort.

She hadn’t noticed when he first opened the door but now she saw that his face was heavily scarred and part of her couldn't help but wonder how it happened and if it had happened in that house. “This way, please.” he indicated.

“I don’t... mind waiting here... it’s...” Ulrike stammered, unsure if she wanted to go even deeper into the house. “My lady is expecting you.” he insisted.

“Isaac” a melodic voice called from inside the living room “can’t you see she’s afraid, poor thing. Be gentle.” His eyes never left Ulrike but he seemed to have heeded the advice and added, softer this time “Please...”

“Welcome” spoke the melodic voice again and Ulrike was torn between wonder and fear at the stunning woman before her “You must be Ulrike. My name is Lilith, your subject for this evening.” Ulrike cleared her throat and straightened her spine “Pleased to meet you.” The woman - Lilith - smiled and even though it was attempted as friendly it still held an unmistakable air of superiority to it.

“Thank you for coming all this way for this... whim of mine.” “Oh... no it’s... fine. It’s my job.” “Indeed... I’m afraid I’m not dressed appropriately so I must ask for a few more minutes of your time while I change.” “Of course. Take your time...” “Isaac see to it that our guest is comfortable and that the necessary arrangements are made for the session.” The butler bowed but said nothing. “Feel free to roam the manor and anything you need please ask. I will only be a moment.”

Chapter 5 (extra) ❤

Chapter 5 ❤

The camera’s shutter echoed through the old building. Looking down, Morgan was pleased with her work so far but felt something was missing… Who was this woman? Why was there an entire Mausoleum dedicated to her and only her?!

She sighed in defeat… It was good enough she was allowed to write about this topic in the first place. Forgotten Hollow was not the kind of place “normal people” wandered into on purpose. But if she had to write about the damn football team and their llama mascot again she was going to kill someone!

“Who allowed you in here?” a deep voice asked from behind her. Morgan turned so fast she almost dropped her camera but the sight that greeted her wasn’t the scary beast she was expecting. Instead, a young man with jet black hair and golden eyes stared back at her. A vampire, she knew!

“Oh… hum… I didn’t know you need permission to come here. I’m sorry…” “Why are you here?” “I… I’m just taking some photos. For the school paper! I’m part of the club and-” “You’re a child…?” it wasn’t so much a question as a statement and Morgan felt her ears turn red in anger. “I’m a teenager, yes!”

He seemed surprised at her reaction and started fidgeting with his hands. It almost looked out of place on such a strong presence. “I apologize. Human years are hard to decipher sometimes.” “Weren’t you human once?” “No…” he whispered so low it was barely audible. His eyes were focused on the painting and Morgan wasn’t sure he realized he had spoken “You should leave. Now.” “Wait! If you knew her, could you maybe… tell me more about her?” “No.” “But if-” “No. Now leave!” Morgan flushed red, huffed and stomped her way out of the dark building into the darker night.
