I stared at the mangled body on the ground

I stared at the mangled body on the ground. My heart refused to seize its rapid pace despite the fact that Liam -- I mean Lust -- was here. I clenched my bound hands as I shifted on my folded knees. "This isn't Epimetheus real body. He's still alive...somewhere."

The sin pursed his lips in annoyance. "Then I'll rip out every freaking vessel he jumps into until I kill the original."

I fidgeted at the thought. Until we find his real human vessel, Epimetheus could be anywhere -- even at school. It explains how he knows everything I do and the time I do it. And to top it off, he had that weird freaking eye. I held a breath as Lust made his way towards me.

"Halt right there," Eros' sudden voice made us turn our heads. He stood at the outskirts of the clearing, dusting his button-down shirt. A shirt so neat that the only way I could tell he fought alongside Liam, was the two little blood stains on his chest. His heterochromatic eyes sliced between Liam and me. "You weren't seriously going to touch her with all that gore on you. Not to mention you still need to calm down before doing anything remotely close to her."

Lust snarled. "I'm not angry."

"Exactly. You're far from that, you're enraged, vengeful, a similar personification to your counterpart sin -- wrath. I can test that theory. Did you really think her husband will keep his hands to himself after seeing her in that dress--"

It happened so fast I could barely keep up. Liam nailed Eros to a tree with a clawed hand to his jaw, lifting the god three feet off the ground. The force bent the tree backward; almost in half. "Say 'husband' one more time and I will rip that tongue out. Epimetheus didn't go that far. If he did, I would know. The only person I have to deal with in that category is Henry."
