Fighting Flames With A FireFighter Chapter 17
Chapter 17Beckett KingPOVStanding in front of Sadie’s apartment reminds me of the first time I visited her place, it was the reason for the current pain in my chest. The reason I had an embarrassing panic attack in front of my older brother yesterday.He is never going to let me live that down. The fact that he needed to rope Axel into helping me is what made it even worse. Axel would not stop teasing me this morning. The worst way to wake up believe me. what surprised me most was how worried my father was, Damon told me he sat by my side the entire night.So why am I here right now? Why am I visiting the woman who is the reason for that pain? Because I am a damn sucker for punishment. I almost turned and left ten times already. Why do I feel this way? Why am I even here? why do I still want to be close to her even if she wants nothing to do with being with me.I sigh and walk into her building, I greet her doorman like I always did, everyone is friendly as if they don’t know my he

Chapter 18One week laterSadie WildePOV“Why don’t we go out for a couple of drinks? We haven’t been out in forever.” Tia says over dinner.I shrug my shoulders. I wasn’t really in the mood, I can finally return to work tomorrow and Beckett can finally stop avoiding me, he hasn’t returned a single one of my calls or messages.“Come on, don’t be such a party pooper.” She pouts.Dante kisses her lips, and she smiles at him.I’m kind of annoyed with them right now, especially since it seems Beck is going to say no to me. They’re acting all lovey dovey, before this wouldn’t annoy me but for some reason its ticking me off.I change the subject and ask Dante about what’s happening at the Station. He tells me everything is going well, the guys are working doubles, so they always have one of them on the ambulance because of what happened to us.“Chief says they’re trying to work on a system to stop hijackings, or a better system that alerts police when an ambulance vans GPS goes offline.” D

She was watching Naruto. “You can watch this finished if you want. We can talk after.” I tell her.She shakes her head. “I’ll watch it finished after we’re done talking.” She says.I nod. “Okay…” I hide my smile when I see her anxiously tapping her foot watching me.“So have you thought about it?” she asksI nod. “I have…”She narrows her eyes at me. “And what do you think?” she asks“We can start sleeping together again, but I have some conditions we need to follow…” I tell her.She frowns. “Why do we need conditions? What is this some type of contract relationship?” she asksI

He scoffs and crosses his arms. “I do not believe you. As soon as I unlock that door you’ll run for the hills, and I’ll never see you again” Hunter looks at me with mistrust. He has every reason not to trust me. As soon as he unlocks that door I’m moving in with Tia and I plan to never see him again. “Hunter…” I try again. Hunter has lost his damn mind, he tried to kill me and him when I broke up with him while we were driving home.

Chapter 21 Third Person POV Sadie walks into her apartment after her run. She places her keys in the tray, she sees the key she gave Beckett there as well. she could not help but smile, she was excited to see him. Today was one of those days, so she needed a little down time, watching a couple of movies with Beck eating take out sounded like the best thing in the world. Especially after last night’s disaster. She had no idea what she did wrong, but Beck looked upset. She tried sending him a few text messages last, but he only responded to those later that night. He did say he was going to have dinner with his parents but she didn’t think it would go on until ten in the night. Then she remembered all this brothers and him were all big, so they must eat as much as Beck did. Beck ate a lot, he worked out before and after every shift, he cared about his body but he burnt way too many calories if you asked me… She thought to herself. She could not imagine Beckett even bigger. His brot

Chapter 23 Beckett King POV It is a late Sunday afternoon, Damon took my mother and Jessica to the grocery store to get a few things. Axel took Anna God knows where. I have no idea how Damon could trust Axel with Anna; I wouldn’t trust that child with my Pinky toe. Anyway it leaves my father and I alone in the house which is rare in itself. I walk down to the living room, I wanted to speak to my father, rather ask the old man’s advice. The last time I asked my old man’s advice was when Damon convinced me my balls was going to explode because they seemed bigger. My father first laughed at me before he beat Damon for messing with his little brother. After that I quickly realized I preferred asking advice from my older brother than my father. but lately my older brother has been acting like his on his period. One would think he was the pregnant one. I sit beside my father, the old man grunts but says nothing, I switch on the hockey game. My dad continues to read his newspaper. The

Chapter 24Sadie WildePOVIt was Monday morning, I was at work, yesterday Beckett took care of me, when I was plagued by period pain, I know his naturally sweet but, Beck has been acting unnaturally sweet recently. He is kissing me on my shoulder when we wake up in bed together, buying flowers, taking care of me when I’m on my period, if I’m not mistaken not even boyfriends and husbands do that.But when I really think about it, it’s just who Beck is, his momma raised him right. Maybe that’s how his mother taught him to treat all woman. Its so different to how I grew up, my father and mother loved each other but my mother and father barely talks to each other, my father was the cook in the house, my mother is a defense attorney so she spends most of her time and work, my father is a high school science teacher, so growing up my father was the person Vance and I went to for advice, or when we were having trouble with something.I’m sitting outside across the street from the station, t

Chapter 25Sadie WildePOV“I’m sorry about earlier…” Tia apologizes.I roll my eyes. “I know what I said upset you, don’t worry I’m not upset about that.” I wave her off.“This place kind of gives me the creeps…” Tia says softly.I nod, Gracie’s apartment seems to be on the weird side of town, I’ve never even been on this side before.“What’s up with you, you’ve been moody for a while now.” Tia asks.“It’s Beck, his been acting weird and it’s made me angry, and I don’t know why. I have no idea why I’m even angry. It’s what I wanted but the thought of him going out partying with his brother pisses me off for some reason.She stops walking and looks over at me. “So, you’re mad because he is going to spend time with this brother tonight even though you’re not going to be home and partying yourself?” she’s looking at me with a scrutinizing look on her face.“Yes, but I’m not going to be meeting with other guys.” I glare at the stairs ahead of me.She chuckles. “Why are you getting mad?

We’ve been working on getting these guys for months.

I haven’t even given the number to anyone yet.I was planning to call Gavin later with it. that was the only reason I had it with me.I answer, but I couldn’t hear a word the other person was saying on the other line. Frustrated I nearly strangle Francis.So, I walked out of the cabin, I make my way further away.“What did you say?” when I finally have signal, I ask.“Gavin and the rest have been arrested. I cleared all contact between the two of you. You need to lay low for a couple of days. Make sure the girl doesn’t have anything on her that can be traced. We can’t let them find you.

Chapter 33 – The arrest. Gracie Almada POV What’s taking them so long? Why aren’t they here yet? Anastasia’s brothers and Axel just left my apartment. Glad I wasn’t dumb enough to actually bring her here. Gavin’s bright idea to bring her here was wrong. I knew Axel would come to me. Honestly, I didn’t think he loved Anastasia that much. The panicked look on his face told me he loved her a lot. Which worried me. He wasn’t going to give up until he found her. I clench my fists in anger. If she wasn’t a damn busy body. Listening in on my phone call. She thinks I didn’t notice her behind me when she tried to back away? I don’t know how much she heard, but the way she rushed out of here, I knew she knew I wanted to kill Sadie. She couldn’t live. I was going to wait until she gave birth to kill her, but I couldn’t wait any longer. If she told anybody I would be as good as dead. If it wasn’t for my fast thinking and asking Gavin to get her before she got to her dad’s place she would h

Everything that happened today worried me. Her phone was found on the side of the road. She’s just gone missing into thin air. There’s no trace of her. The team seems to think the rapist took her. It had to have been them, said Lucy. She said that they’d been following her for months. So, it had to have been them. I’m worried for Beaton, she’s at least six months pregnant.

Like confronting her and asking her who the hell that guy is. Locking her in the house and never letting her leave. You know those kinds of thoughts.“Yo, Axel check this out.” Lucy calls from across the room. I look over and see her eyeing her computer screens.I walk over. “What’s up?” I asked her.“I found this guy. He dated five of the victims. He is pretty crafty; he deleted all the posts with him in it. I found him while checking their friends’ social media. How he deleted it from the victims’ pages is beyond me.
