“Shit!” Alex collapsed to the ground. “What the hell, I thought you weren’t a Dark One anymore.”

“So, I’ve lost my aim?” Cassius snorted. “Hardly. And next time you make fun of me I’m grabbing a knife.”

“Ethan has a gun case, the code is 1492.” Mason said in a cheerful voice.

Alex glared. “Thanks, Mason. Real helpful.”

“Please, it wouldn’t kill you.”

“It damn well wouldn’t tickle either, you bastard!” Alex shouted.

“Guys!” I held up my hands. “Do I need to order take-out, or do we have enough meat to feed…” I pointed to Cassius. “…this?”

“Not even a person anymore.” Alex cackled behind him. “How’s it feel?”

“About as good as a bullet between the eyes, Alex, care to experience it?”

Alex jerked the fork out of his thigh and tossed it in the sink. “Wash the blood off why don’t you, Mason?”

“I can’t concentrate with all the yelling.” Mason reached for his cell. “I say we go out to eat.”

“Yes!” Genesis stood. “We haven’t done a date night in weeks!”

Ethan reached for her hand and kissed it.

“Date night?” Cassius frowned. “A night with dates?”

I leaned forward and rested my forehead on the table. “It’s romantic.”

“Date night,” he repeated again.

I stood. “Whatever, let’s go somewhere close because Cassius is about five minutes away from molesting that bird.”

“I would never!” Cassius stood, outrage pouring over his face.

“Sarcasm.” Alex slapped him on the back. “You should try it, Dark One.”

Cassius jerked away from Alex. “I know what it is.”

“Clearly.” Alex nodded in mock understanding.

“The Lodge.” Mason grabbed his keys. “They always make room for us. Let’s go, kids… before Dad eats the family pet.”

“The bird is your pet?” Cassius looked horrified.

Alex sighed and whispered again, “Sarcasm.”

Cassius shoved past him then stopped in his tracks and turned. “Stephanie, will we be riding together?”

His eyes were hopeful.

What game was he playing?

He held out his hand.

I took it, still frowning.

“Uh, sure. We’ll drive separate since we can’t all fit in Ethan’s car.”
