Semua Bab Set Fire and Burn: Bab 41 - Bab 50

Chapter 41 Set Fire and Burn by Ruth NalioAngelica… Zander and I had practically spent our entire two days off naked. When we weren’t having sex, we were eating or snuggling on the couch while we recovered. When it had come time for bed, I’d followed him into his room and snuggled into his arms without hesitation or complaint. The man had me so exhausted that I wouldn’t have complained about a blanket on the floor with no pillow though, to be honest. As I looked at myself in the mirror the next morning, I wished I was the kind of girl to wear makeup. My neck and collarbone looked like I’d been attacked by an octopus. Sighing, I took comfort in the fact that it was October, and I could get away with a sweater that covered most of my collarbone. Maybe with the low lighting in the club, no one would even see.“I’ll order you a new uniform today,” Zander said, as I walked down the hall in a gray sweater and my black work skirt. He wasn’t fully able to contain his smile.“It’s coming ou

Chapter 43 Set Fire and Burn by Ruth NalioAngelica…With a glare at him, I unlocked my screen and checked my texts. “It’s from Siri, just so you know,” I said bitterly. His tone pissed me off.He sighed. “You know how I feel about him in particular. I’m not going to change how I feel just because he’s been kind to you. I don’t trust him, and never will.”“I don’t think you’ll have to worry about my friendship with him any longer. He feels like I’ve betrayed him now.”“You didn’t betray anyone,” he said.“I’m just going to see what Siri wants,” I replied.‘No luck so far finding your mother. Just thought I’d check in and see how things are going. Have you decided to loosen up and get some yet? Hugs and kisses, Siri.’ Blushing, I sent a response: ‘So, something big happened to me. I suppose you could say that I did loosen up and get some. Zander may have claimed me as his mate… And from what Al told me about Demons, he might just be my mate as well. I’m still trying to decide how I f

Chapter 45 Set Fire and Burn by Ruth NalioAngelica…He took a deep breath and rubbed the back of his neck. “You should know by now that when it comes to Alatap I get angry and defensive. You know what happened to make me that way too. I didn’t mean to upset you when I said what I did.”“Like it or not, he’s my friend. You know why he did what he did to you as well. Seeing as it was a really long time ago, maybe you could try to not be so angry about it still?”“It makes it harder knowing that he wanted to see if you were his mate,” he said, crossing his arms.I felt my cheeks redden. “Yeah, but he didn’t. He flirted with me from day one and got all of one kiss out of me, but you, well you got the girl, asshat.”He smiled and pulled me into his arms. “I’m not going to lie, I wanted in your pants from the first day as well. I suppose I can’t fault him for finding you attractive.” He kissed my neck. “But if he hurts you in any way, I’ll do much worse than kill him.”I rolled my eyes. “H

Chapter 47 Set Fire and Burn by Ruth NalioAngelica…I took my clothes to the bathroom and shut the door. Stripping, I turned on the spray and stepped under the hot water. Closing my eyes, I wondered what I’d gotten myself into. For most women, the thought of a man killing for them was a dream come true, but seeing it in real life was terrifying. Knowing how much strength Zander held in his body, how easily he could take a life, had left me with a healthy dose of fear.Zander had told me he’d do anything to protect me and had proven it a few times already. Leaning my forehead on the shower wall, I closed my eyes and thought about what Jade had told me. She was nearing 70 and still hadn’t killed anyone, but for most immortals, killing meant surviving. Zander had told me he’d killed too many to remember before we’d even started our relationship. I’d been sleeping like a baby next to an immortal killer. That same immortal killer had dried my tears and kissed away my sorrows. He’d put out

Chapter 49 Set Fire and Burn by Ruth NalioAngelica…Putting my phone down, I looked at Zander, who was walking out of the bedroom. Had I damaged his reputation beyond repair? If I had, what could I do to fix it? With an inward sigh, I opened a text to Jade and told her about the plans for Thanksgiving dinner. To my surprise, she responded right away that she would bring a pie. That left Ash. I didn’t have Ash’s number, which suddenly struck me as odd, seeing as how Zander was always putting him in charge of keeping me safe when he wasn’t around.After I got dressed, I walked into the kitchen to find Zander in the middle of making an omelet. “So, if I’m supposed to tell Ash, I need his number.”“He’ll be here in an hour, you can talk to him about it then.”“I didn’t know he was coming over.” He’d only been over a few times, and of those times he’d only stayed once, the day Zander and he had sparred in the basement.“I need to talk to him about working out how to cover your shifts at t
