Chapter Eleven

“You’re frowning again.” Levi’s words pulled me from my pondering. Jared and Nic had left after they’d receiving a call about a case they were working. I helped myself to the fries on Nic’s plate.

“None of this makes sense,” I muttered.

“What?”

“How can you become incorporeal and shoot fire from your hands? How does that work? What happened to you?” I turned to look at him, studying him intently. He was still hot, his body radiating an unnatural warmth.

“Oh, we’re back to that again?” He picked up his coffee and took a gulp.

“It’s not something I can ignore, Levi.”

“I haven’t done anything wrong.”

“I didn’t say you had!” I protested.

“Then why can’t you let it drop? I’ve changed. I don’t know why, and nor do you. Why can’t you just accept that it is what it is and not over-analyze every little thing?”

His words stung. “I don’t want to fight with you, Levi. I just want to understand what’s happened.”

“So you can change me back?” he challenged.

Even if I had the capacity, I wasn’t sure I’d do it. Not against his wishes. But we didn’t know exactly what he was capable of, or what the consequences would be.

“I just want you to be safe. We don’t know what this is. Are you going to change further? What if you stop being you?” I tried to dial back the emotion, but it leaked through. I knew he felt it by the way he cocked his head and considered me.

“You’re concerned,” he said.

“Of course.”

“What do you suggest?” Maybe he was prepared to meet me halfway after all. Leaning in, I cupped his face in my hands and kissed him hard. “I love you,” I whispered against his lips.

I felt him smile. His hand slipped around the nape of my neck and squeezed. “I love you, too, crazy woman.”

“Hey!” I laughed, moving out of his embrace. “Watch who you’re calling crazy. I could singe your ass!”

“Pretty sure I could give as good as I can get.” He winked and I couldn’t help the snort that escaped. “I have an idea.” He sobered and reached for my hand, entwining his fingers with mine.

“Oh?”

“What’s happening with me has to do with heat and fire, yes?”

“Yes. And becoming incorporeal,” I added.

“That too. So maybe the answer is in Hell.”

He had a point. Hell was the epitome of heat and fire, but I wasn’t sure taking him there was a good idea. If jumping dimensions caused this, what would visiting Hell do to him?

“Stop worrying.” It was like he could read my mind. “What’s done is done. How much worse could it get?”

I gasped. “Oh, don’t say that! Never say that. Famous last words and all that shit.”

“Look, I’ve been to the Xoelax dimension, survived being hunted by the Zuska people, and I’ve gone to Heaven! Take me to Hell. I want to see where you live.” His grin and the way he rubbed his thumb against the palm of my hand had me distracted.

“Okay. What’s the worst
