"I catch a lot of attention these days," she purred, her voice dripping with seductive allure as she toyed with Cedric's expectations. "But you haven't quite managed to capture mine yet," she teased, her tone coy yet tantalizing.
Cedric's expression darkened slightly, a predatory gleam in his eyes as he stepped closer to Lilith, the air charged with electricity between them. "I always get what I want, when I want," he growled softly, his voice low and commanding as he locked eyes with her.

In the heart of the male-dominated underworld, Lilith emerges as a formidable force, crowned as the sole queen among her four brothers. It's a destiny written before her birth, a path she must walk to uphold her family's legacy.
Tasked by her oldest brother, Lucifer, with using her feminine charm to navigate the treacherous world of organized crime, Lilith finds herself entangled in a web of intrigue, unaware of the intricate game Lucifer is playing. Sin City is akin to hell itself, a domain where Lucifer holds sway, and Lilith is destined to become the Queen of Hell.
As Lilith embraces her role, her journey collides with Cedric, an ambitious underworld king ruling the streets of New York. Cedric is determined to make Lilith his queen, regardless of the consequences. Their meeting ignites a fierce clash of wills and desires, propelling them into a whirlwind adventure through the dangerous streets of Sin City and New York.
Bound by duty to fulfill her family's legacy by producing an heir, and Cedric's need for a queen to reign over New York, their attraction becomes undeniable. Yet, they must navigate the complexities of their forbidden love, determined to find a way to make it work against all odds, even as the powers of hell itself watch their every move.
"Emma, you're playing with fire" he whispered against my ear and the warm breath tickled my earlobe, sending electricity down my spine.
"What if I like fire, huh?" I whispered back. Two could play this game, and although he may have the pants here, you needed two to tango, right?
"If that's the case, then carry on. But don't back out...cause it'll burn, but baby I promise you, when I'm done with you, you'll be weak in my arms"
