down on your brazen knees (nikki/esau)
Title: down on your brazen knees
Author: cloudytea
Characters/Parings: Nikki/Esau
Rating: PG-13
Summary: She is the Medusa. For lost_in_108's prompt Devise.
(her pretty mouth chokes on sand and nails are chipped, painted in blood)
The weight of a thousand diamonds burn holes in her pockets. She’s made her bed -- and now she must lie in it.
(her hair is stringy and his breath sends spasms down her spine)
Samuel’s no name for a monster, she recalls her first night here (and the second and the third -- those roars lurk in the few dreams he still allows her).
His whispers weave webs of lies and she is the Medusa who provides the silk.
You’re no saint yourself.
His words poison the very little piety she had left.
