I'm giving you TWO Firelight teasers tonight!!!!! You can find the other one over on my author page!!!!

“Then what’s this about Jude? Why the sudden need to make friends and influence people?”

He reached my Malibu and leaned against it. “Someone’s been catching up on their summer reading.”

“I’m serious. If you hurt my friends in any way, I will kill you.” I took a step closer to him, hoping to come across as intimidating. “That is not one of my flippant threats, by the way. That’s the real deal. If something happens to Piper or Tristan, you’re finished. I don’t give a damn about what that means to the contract. I will end you.”

“God, you’re cranky.” He rubbed his hands over his face. “It’s almost unbearable.”

“Shut up,” I growled. “I have a lot going on right now! And you’re not helping.”

He smirked at me. “Am I supposed to be helping you?”

I ignored him. “No shenanigans tomorrow night. I’m going to have someone watch your house. I’m serious.”

“The Replacement Stella? Do you think she’s more fun?”

I pushed him again. “There’s about thirty Replacement-Stella’s. I’m sure all of them will be as over you as I am.”

I pulled open my door and double checked that my keys were still in the ignition and my purse on the floor. This was the country; every car out here had keys in the ignition.

Jude stopped me with a hand on my door. “Seth says hi by the way.”

“Yeah?” I didn’t even bother taking him seriously. “Did you have the weekly Darkside meeting last night?”

He chuckled. “Something like that. But I’m just kidding. He didn’t stay hi.”

“You’re such an ass.”
