For a moment, I almost felt sorry for her. Then the bitch blasted me with her water magic, and I got over it.

So,_ I said. __xactly how long have the two of you been together? I assume that you__e been going hot and heavy ever since that night at Fletcher__ house when the bounty hunters interrupted you. Am I right?__inn and Bria didn__ look at me or each other.__ight,_ Bria mumbled. __lthough if it makes you uncomfortable____hen Gin__ just going to have to deal with it,_ Finn cut her off.Bria stared at him in surprise.__hat?_ Finn said. __ worked too hard and too long to get you into my bed to just cut you loose now, cupcake.__ria__ eyes narrowed. __upcake?___upcake._ Finn grinned at her. __r would you prefer snuggle bunny?__ria__ hand drifted down to the gun on her leather belt, as though she wanted to pull it out and shoot Finn with it. Well, it was good to know I wasn__ the only one who occasionally had that reaction to him....Then I fixed them both with a hard stare. __ust don__ ask me to take sides when the two of you go at each other. Okay?__hey nodded, then looked at each other. Finn waggled his eyebrows in a suggestive manner, and Bria snorted. But she couldn__ stop a grin from curving her lips.

I used to murder people for money, but these days it__ more of a survival technique.

Y__ll might as well come on out,_ I said. __ know you__e there. I can smell you.___mell me? But I just took a shower this morning!_ an indignant voice drifted out of the shadows.There was a loud sound, like someone was getting smacked upside the head. Then another voice let out a low mutter.__hut up, idiot.

Burn, baby, burn,_ she muttered in a hard, satisfied voice.I cleared my throat. __s much as I hate to interrupt the supreme satisfaction you__e taking in watching the mansion blaze to the ground, I__ reallylike to get out of here before the whole house collapses on top of us.

I embraced that hope for a moment, grabbed onto it with both hands, and held it close like the rare treasure it was. Then I let go of it, let it float away like a butterfly on a bright day, because the darkest part of the night was yet to come, and there was no place for it here.
