guy, and you, my dear sister, are single and need some distraction.” She held up a hand as Eva began to protest. “No. Go out there and have fun. If you don’t want anything to do with him after this you don’t have to see him again.” With a grin, she turned, leaving her sister there to either stay or follow.
"Lili, you can't do this to me."
She continued walking as Eva rushed up to her side as they walked back towards their table. As usual, the patrons filled the place to the brim, so occasionally they would have to wait for people to move to keep going.
"Can't do what, m ake sure that you have some fun for a change? You spend excessive amounts of time worrying about me. This is your time. Enjoy." With that said, Liliana hurried on, smiling as she spotted the men still at the table nursing beers and chatting. When she stopped at the table, Liliana grinned and winked at Samael then looked to Clay.
"Clay, Eva told me that she would really love to dance. Care to take her out for a spin around the dance floor?" Eva gasped behind her, but Liliana did not turn around. S he just settled in her seat next to Samael.
"Dancing sounds like a plan. Come, sweet Eva.” H e held out his hand, and with one last fleeting look at Liliana, Eva placed her hand in his and moved off with him towards the dance floor.
Chapter Four
Samael stood on a hill overlooking the city, the very city that held the love of his life, Liliana. The sun was out but not at its highest point. There was still some hustle and bustle that could be seen going on down at the city level. It was early yet, not time to go for his nightly visit to Liliana. Being the type of demon he was had its uses; he could be anywhere at any time. Though it was days like these that made him feel it wasn't worth it. Eva trapped them in a never-ending cycle. Captured by a curse set so long ago that he himself had almost forgotten the reasons for the curse Eva put into place. To think this was all because of Eva’s insecurities and jealousy. His mind turned back to centuries before when it had all begun .

Somewhere Near the Tigris River
He pulled her close to him, wrapping his arms around her as she sat just as naked as he was on the lambskins. They'd settled at their encampment after a small supper of fish, fruit and bread next to the beautiful Tigris . The sound of the water was as pleasing as it was musical as they whispered softly to one another and enjoyed each other's company.
Samael stroked his fingers gently through Lilith's hair, the dark locks so thick. H e loved how it felt against his skin. He had been in love with her since the moment he had seen her there in the Garden, but she hadn't been his to take. The love he shared with Lilith was forbidden. She’d been made to be with Adam. It wasn’t until she’d left Adam that she truly became his.
"Samael, what if today is the day my judgment comes? I have not only defied Adam but I also changed the way things were supposed to be. He has already made a substitute in your place. She will be all that you could not be for Adam. We have spoken of this before. He has his other half. Do not worry that he will come looking for you or that you have to go back. You and I were meant to be."
"You're right. I t has been a long while since I have been gone. If he had wanted to find me, he could have."
Samael nodded, bringing his lips to hers, kissing her soundly as his arms wrapped around her naked torso, pulling her fully across him as he lay down on the lambskins.
"You're mine, forever, Lilith."
"Yes, I am yours, forever, Samael. This is where I belong, here with you." His lips took hers, at first gently, and then there was the need to mark her as his own. He nipped and tugged on her bottom lip with his teeth. She groaned and pressed her full breasts to his chest. Her nipples were hard nubs pressed into his flesh, filling him with a yearning to taste them, her touch burning into his memory.
