From Touched by Fire (Book 1):
"I wish to bargain," I managed to say, thankful that my voice sounded stronger—surer than I felt.
"Bargain?" he repeated. Not like he didn't understand the word, but like he didn't understand what place it had here. Which was crazy because bargains were the only way that a summoning could even work. Not that one ever had.
"For freedom," I said, a plan developing in my mind. "And . . ."
"And?" the demon prompted, taking a step closer. A chilled brush of something ran up my spine, leaving a trail of gooseflesh in its wake.
"I want you to kill them," I said. My words were met by a cry of protest from the witches around the circle. While they were not in it, they were also bound to it. If even a single one ran, the circle would break, and with it, any hold they had in keeping us there. I half hoped they would. It would make it that much easier. "That one lives." I pointed to the man that ruined my life without looking at him.
The demon's lips lifted slightly, but it wasn't a kind expression. It was amused, if not a little cruel. "Is that all?" he asked, stepping forward once more.
"Yes," I said.
I was making a deal with a devil. Quite literally.
If I didn't make a deal, though . . . the consequences would be worse. I couldn't die. Not yet. Not before I fixed her.
The demon took another step forward, coming to stand directly before me.
"Very well," he said, softly. "I will bargain with you." I wished I could say that I was relieved, but had I known the warlock I was hunting would be here, I never would have let them summon a demon. For what demons gave, they asked so much more.
And this demon? I had a feeling he'd demand more than any of them.
"What is the price?" I asked him.
He smiled, and it was tragically alluring. Beautiful and awful at once.
My heart skipped as he leaned forward, our faces only inches apart.
The silver in his eyes was anything but human. It swirled around the dark pupils like mercury. Unnatural and deadly.
I had a feeling in the pit of my stomach what he would ask in return. That didn't make it any easier to hear.
"You."
