A tender moment between Hell’s ultimate bad boy and femme fatale, Lucifer and Lilith. My OTP in biblical mythology. Their tattoos are various pagan symbols, which are open to interpretation, along with the chains and handcuffs. There is a whole story to go with this picture, obviously, but I think it’s a whole lot more fun to let everyone come up with their own. The title is Latin and means “While burning”, and it’s also a phrase used colloquially in the sense of “caught in the act”.
