The Angel Side Read Online Free PDF Page A

It’s what I have been trying to tell you and Etta. You’re a bigger fool than I thought if you still believe having a relationship with a human will be easy.” John snatched the picture frame from my hand and slammed it back down onto the nightstand.
    I rear ed up at his display of disrespect . John jumped to his feet, meeting me chest to chest.
    “Look, I just got ripped into by Father. I don’t need it from you too!” I yelled, digging my finger into John’s shoulder.
    John swatted my hand as he leaned up toward me.
    “And there’s the famous temper again . Look , I’m not here to fight with you. I’ve accepted that my daughter isn’t going to give you up , and no matter what I do , I can’t get rid of you. But what I see standing in front of me right now is not a man worthy of my baby girl. If you can’t meet your simplest of needs , how do you expect to meet any of hers? Do you not see the pattern here? You’re falling apart , Ra.”
    “Typical John. When I ask you for help I’m not asking you to tell me what I’m doing wrong. I’m asking you to help me do it right!” Ignoring the strong urge to punch him, I shoved past John and plopped onto the bed.
    “You can start doing it right by getting some sleep. Etta’ll be home in a couple hours. I’ll have her wake you up.” John threw the blanket over me then lumbered out of the room.
    I had been running on empty , and all the arguing drained me. Before I knew it, I had fallen asleep.

    “Hey , sleepyhead . Time to get up , or you’ll be late for work.” the soft coo of Etta’s voice whispered in my ear.
    Wrapping my arm around her, I pulled her into the bed and snuggled my head into her neck. The scent of her vanilla perfume and almond body wash awoke all my senses. Peppering her neck with kisses, Etta squirmed until she rolled on top of me.
    “Come on. Your shift starts in thirty.” Etta’s hands traveled up my chest as she leaned over , kissing my neck up to my cheek and finally my lips. A strand of her wavy brown hair tickled my ear. Pushing it back behind her ear, I pressed her full lips harder with mine , but she jerked away, taking the blanket with her.
    “I have plenty of time.” I grumbled as I went to pull her back in bed. Etta jumped up from the bed toward the closet.
    Rolling onto my side , I wanted the best view of her hips swaying as she made the few steps into the closet, and then back.
    “Maybe I should call in and take the day off.” I said , wiggling my brows.
    “Get dressed.” Etta tossed my delivery driver uniform on the bed .
    I swung my legs over the edge and yanked Etta onto my lap. Et t a cupped my jaw, preventing me from covering her in the licks and kisses I had planned.
    “Ra, you know better than anyone we need the money. Gabriel and Amy are getting married tomorrow. They’re going to need the house to themselves and I don’t know about you , but I do not want to live with my parents.”
    “I have an apartment, Etta. We can live there. ” Annoyed at the dose of reality Etta splashed in my face, I fell back onto the bed .
    “I told you , Ra, it’s too small. Where would we put our stuff?” Etta pointed at my armor at the base of the bedframe. “It can barely hold what little you and Gabriel store there as it is.” She continued as she attempted to lift my c uirass .
    “I’ll get that.” I replied as I took my breastplate from her and set it on the floor. Engulfing her with my body, dipping her, I caressed Etta’s back and hips and feverishly nibbled on her throat .
    “Ra, stop.” E tta turned her head as she pushed away from me. “You know the rules. Not as long as I am h uman and you are an Angel. Now, quit stalling , and get dressed.” Etta stormed away , slamming the bedroom door behind her.
    “Cursed Giants.” I snapped, yanking my breastplate and pauldrons from the floor.
    The Giants had been a group of four male Guardian Angels sent to Earth to help a few lost souls. To show their
