Fire of a Demon's Heart by Shawnta Christensen (libby ebook reader .txt) 📕

AI love you too Demetri,A she whispered.
She kissed him again, her hands running down his back as they got into a kissing fit.

Morning came and Selene woke up. They were in his bed in the underworld and she wondered how they had got there. She glanced beside her and saw Demetri, his left arm wrapped around her, the other on her back. She remembered last night and sighed happily, Demetri had comforted her in his own way.
She was about to get out of bed, but Demetri grabbed her around her waist as he sat up. She looked at him and giggled as he kissed her neck, and then ran his lips up her neck.
AWhere do you think you=re going?@ He asked huskily, his mouth still on her neck.
She laughed lightly and touched his face as he opened his eyes and looked at her. She smiled at him and he chuckled as he smiled back.
AI don=t know,A she said.
He pulled her back into the bed and her head hit the pillows.
Demetri was above her as his right hand held him up. His left hand caressed her face, and then began tracing it with two fingers.
AStay here then if you don=t know,A he whispered huskily in a low voice that made her shudder.
She laughed as he kissed her, his lips felt soft and gentle on hers, his other hand going over her left arm slowly. His hand was like a fire dancing on her skin when his hand went slowly on her body like that. She knew that he was like a fire and sometimes could be dangerous when her life was at stake.
How could this man, this demon who was her lover, be so dangerous and ruthless and yet be so gentle and kind at the same time?
AIt=s tempting, I=ll accept your offer,A she whispered when they parted.
She was melting at his touch with the way his fingers made patterns on her skin. He chuckled and kissed her neck as she laughed and he chuckled. AThat tickles,A she laughed when he looked at her from her neck.
He stopped and ran his hand along her face, tracing it gently like she was a breakable doll. She kissed him as he kissed back and they got into a kissing fit. There was a knock at the door and they parted, seeing Sol through the door.

ATime to go on another mission you two!A she said giggling.
Demetri sighed and Selene giggled. He looked at her and got into a kissing fit.

"Just a second. I want to finish this first," he whispered in her ear and traced his hand on her back.
"Demetri we have to go," she said laughing as he nibbled on her neck and moaned a little when he nibbled harder.
He got out of bed and put a black tank top on, changing out of his white pants and into some black leather ones. She got out of bed and put a red tank top on, black pants and shoes. He put on brown shoes and they walked out the door. Two hours passed and they walked into a large village, with five tall buildings and they pulled their swords out.
AWhere are all the people?@ Sol asked.
Shin gripped her hand and Demetri gripped Selene=s. The whole village was deserted, webs hung from doors as mist rolled in from all over the place.
ALet=s get to a house and rest for the night,A Demetri said as he led Selene to a house.
They entered the house and laid down on a wooden floor with a fire in the middle. Demetri held Selene in his arms and Shin held Sol in his. In the middle of the night Selene sprang up, gasping as sweat dripped down her. She looked at her hands and then at Demetri.
She sighed as she stood up and walked down a hall.
She turned into a bathroom and she sighed as she pulled the shower curtains open. She gasped as her eyes widened at the scene in front of her. The bathroom wall had blood over it and a woman=s body was in the tube. She backed up and hit a wall and slid down it in shock.
She felt a hand brush against her neck and she looked behind her, and then screamed. Demetri woke up at her scream and rushed down the hall.
ASelene!@ He shouted in fear and worry.
A pulse went through Selene as her eyes widened. She gasped as she saw the body behind her. Selene=s eyes turned black with gold in them and she went to her knees as she shook. Demetri burst in the bathroom and gasped as his eyes widened. Selene was biting the body=s neck and drinking the blood.
ASe.... Selene,A he whispered as his eyes and voice shook.
Her wings had come out and they had black veins in them. She saw Demetri and withdrew her teeth.
ADemetri, I=m so thirsty,A she said as she crawled toward him.
He couldn=t move as he fell against the wall and slid down trembling.
ASelene,A he whispered.

She crawled onto him, her hands pinning his shoulders down as she leaned toward her neck trembling. Her eyes widened as her fangs touched his neck and her hands shook as she tried to hold herself back.
ADemetri... get...away... from me,A she said, grunting as she tried to pull away.
He didn=t move. She pushed herself back a little and went to his throat. She closed her eyes tightly as her fang pierced his throat and he his eyes widened. She grunted as she was thrown back into a wall.
Demetri looked up and saw Shin with his sword in hand. Selene shook her head and opened her eyes. They went back to normal as Demetri fainted.
ADemetri!A she shouted in fear.
She crawled toward him and gasped as she saw the mark on his neck. ADid I...!@ she said as she gasped and backed up.
Shin looked away and she disappeared as Sol rushed toward Demetri.
AWhere=s Selene?@ he asked as Sol helped him up.
She carried him back to the fire and Shin told him that she had disappeared as Sol looked away.
AShe=s gone!@ Demetri shouted angrily.
He got up and went outside as he looked for her. His breathing turned to a hard panting as he ran through the trees, worried for Selene.
ASelene I=m coming!A he thought as he ran faster.
Selene was on top of a huge building and the wind brushed passed her. She ran as far away from the building as possible, still panting hard.
AI bit Demetri! What if he=s turned, what if I killed him?!@ She cried, worried and scared as tears flew passed her.
Demetri heard her crying and followed the sound. He jumped onto a building and saw her. Hearing her sobs broke his heart and he walked toward her as he embraced her to his chest tightly. She gasped as she felt his warm arms around her and cried more.
She turned toward him and embraced him.
AI=m so sorry Demetri, I=m so sorry!@ She cried, embracing him tightly as she cried harder.
Demetri tried to calm her down and ran his hand over her hair. It tore him up to see her like this and to smell the salty tears now rushing down her cheeks
AIt=s okay Selene. We=ll find a way to turn you back to normal,A he whispered against her hair.
She looked at him and smiled. He smiled back and kissed her as she kissed back.
AOkay Demetri,A she said when they parted as she put her head on his chest.

He carried her back to the house and she kept looking at his neck. She her hand over it and looked at it sadly.
ASelene if you want my blood you can have it,A he said suddenly as he smiled.
She closed her eyes and looked away, tears in her eyes. He looked at her sadly as tears fell on his arms lightly
ANo, I don=t want to turn or kill you,A she whispered.
He caressed her cheek and she looked at him. He walked into the house and found a empty room. He walked into it and closed the door behind him.
ASelene I trust you. I know you won=t kill me or turn me,A he said.
He sat down on the bed and Selene=s eyes turned black with gold in them. He looked at her and she panted as she reached to his neck.
AIt=s alright. You can=t turn me because I=m a demon angel now,A he said with love in his eyes as he smiled a little.
She smiled and she bit his neck as he gasped painfully. She knocked him against the bed and she gripped his chest tightly as she laid on top of him. Demetri looked at her as she drank his blood. The pain had stopped and he stroked her hair gently.
She opened her eyes and looked at him as she smiled. She withdrew her teeth and looked at his bite mark. His wound healed and he put his hand on her cheek. She leaned into in and sighed.
AWe=ll find a way to turn you back Selene, I promise,A he said, and then kissed her as she kissed back.
They parted and Selene fell asleep, her head and arms on his chest. Demetri wrapped his arms around her protectively.
AI love you Selene,A he whispered in her ear.
Two days passed and they were walking in a forest as night began to fall. Selene gripped her throat tightly as she closed her eyes. Shin and Sol didn=t notice, but Demetri did and stopped.
AYou guys go on ahead, I have to do something,A he told them.
Shin and Sol looked at him, nodded and walked on. Demetri looked at Selene and motioned her to follow him. He stopped and she stopped behind him as she grabbed his wrist.
ADo what you need to do Selene. I=ll be fine,A he said.
She nodded and gripped his wrist tightly, pinning it against a tree as he turned toward her. She backed him into the tree and leaned toward his neck. He gripped her other hand and she gripped back as her eyes turned. He gasped as she bit his neck and he gripped her hand tighter.

ASelene,A he panted.
She looked at him and withdrew her teeth. She kissed his neck and licked the blood off, then backed up as his wound began to heal. He grabbed her hand and they went to catch up with Sol and Shin.


Chapter 14

Pandora=s box


Demetri and Sol were walking through a forest as Shin and Selene walked in opposite directions, searching for enemies.
AI don=t see anyone yet, maybe Gail really has disappeared from this earth,A Sol said as she looked around with her sword in hand.
Selene and Shin met up and saw a fire. They started to walk toward it cautiously.
ASomeone=s still here,A she said as she pulled out her sword and Shin did too.
Suddenly five guys appeared, wearing armor all over their bodies, and had their swords in hand. Shin stood in front of Selene as she put her sword to the side and concentrated.
ASol we need help, hurry!@ He thought to her and charged at the guys.
Selene opened her eyes and
