Chapter 30 Set Fire and Burn by Ruth NalioAngelica…Zander opened the door to have a bottle of wine shoved in his hand by Siri. “I brought wine and the stuff for you to cook,” she said happily, walking past him, with Loki following her.“Please, come in,” Zander said grumpily.Loki held up a bag. “We brought movies as well.”“How thoughtful,” Zander said, taking the bag from Loki and looking at the movies. He smiled. “Good movies.”“What did you bring for dinner?” I asked, as Siri set down the bags on the counter.“Loki insists that pizza goes best with movies,” Siri said, pulling things out of the bags.“I love making pizza!” I said excitedly as I started helping her pull things out of the bags.Siri narrowed her eyes and looked from me to Zander, and a smile spread across her face.“I guess I know the real reason you won’t go with us to Asgard.”I frowned. “What?”“I had no clue the shower was big enough for two,” Loki said as he looked at us both as well.“No!” We both said togeth

Chapter 32 Set Fire and Burn by Ruth NalioAngelica… Sweat covered my body, I ached everywhere, and probably would have bruises in the morning. I wasn’t giving up just yet though. For once, Zander looked like he was putting actual effort into avoiding my blows. He spun away from me and I jumped, wrapped my arm around his neck, and yanked his head down to my level. Before I could fake punch his face, he had flipped me onto my back, pinning me to the floor with his body.We were both breathing heavily, him from where I’d been hanging onto his neck tight enough to stop his airflow, and me from busting my ass to get one good hit in. He had both my wrists pinned to the mat on either side of my head, but I wasn’t giving up that easily. I threw my hips up, trying to dislodge him so that I might roll him onto his back and bring my elbow down into his throat, or almost into his throat. He’d told me to not hold back, to actually hit him because I couldn’t possibly do any real damage to him, bu

Chapter 34 Set Fire and Burn by Ruth NalioZander…“Angelica was calling you to come and get your disobedient Demon off my curb. The next time one of your kind lays a hand on me, I’ll rip off their head and send you the body.” With that, I hung up, Angelica still struggling to get loose. “Do you want me to drop you?” I snapped as I stuffed her phone in my pocket.“Put me down and you won’t have to worry about dropping me!” she snapped as she reached for her phone instead of fighting my hold.I grabbed her hand and glared at her. “You really don’t want to do that right now,” I said, not sure if I wanted her to notice my erection or not. Just having her close to me made me want to rip her clothes off and push her up against the wall of the stairwell.“Or what? You’ll deck me like you did that Demon?” she snapped. This caused me to stall at the bottom of the steps.I looked at her. “I would never lay a hand on you in violence.” I set her down and pushed her back against the door, pressin

Chapter 36 Set Fire and Burn by Ruth NalioAngelica… I’d never slept in a man’s bed before, let alone naked in a man’s bed. When I woke up with Zander's heavy arm wrapped around me and his large, naked body pressed against mine, I realized that it hadn’t been the most intense sex dream of my life, it had been the most intense sex of my life! Taking a deep breath, I carefully extracted myself from his embrace, looking back when I got out of the bed to see that his eyes were still closed, his breathing steady. Breathing a silent sigh of relief, I began looking for my clothes, picking up my skirt at the bottom of the bed. Suddenly every hair on my body was standing on end. I straightened to find Zander looking at me, his arms crossed behind his head, wearing a cat-who-ate-the-canary grin. “I was just going to get some clean clothes and take a quick shower,” I said awkwardly. He nodded toward his bathroom. “Use mine, if I remember correctly, the rest of your clothes are on my dining t

Chapter 38 Set Fire and Burn by Ruth NalioAngelica… “It never will,” he said in a quiet voice. “I know. I’ve come to trust you this last month. I’m not going to lie, I’ve found you attractive since the first time I saw you, but your attitude stopped it there for the most part. Can you tell me who the real Zander is? Are you the asshole that tries to control me and piss me off, or are you the smiling, joking man who makes me breakfast and watches movies with me? Are you putting on a front for the world or putting on a front for me?” “In our world, you have to be tough and keep your guard up. I have struggled to remind myself that you’re not my friend, that you’re my charge. I can’t do that anymore. At first, I was just taking care of my responsibilities, but at some point, I began to enjoy taking care of you and spending time with you. That first time I kissed you was impulse and frustration. Then when you were crying after talking to your mom, I wanted nothing more than to make y
