To both Holly and Cade, Tera said, "Then we part ways here, hopefully with peace still between us." Cade shrugged. "What's a few arrow wounds among friends, yeah?" With a wince, she said, "About those arrows, Cade. They were dipped in poison--" "Poison!" Cade bellowed. "Ah, come on, Tera!" --

There're three ways to get there from here, each one worse than the last. You can either hold your breath through the plague colonies, slip through Slaverville, or take the mountain route." Something flashed in his expression, something somber, which seemed out of place on his animated face. "That's where the cannibals really like to hole up." "You've seen them?" I asked. "Oh, yeah. And it's, like, totally worse than you can imagine. Their ..

And you always do your duty. Doesn't it ever get boring? I think that's why you're so attracted to me, because I've shaken your reasonable, rational, ordered life. I'd wager that you've felt more excitement with me in the last week than in centuries." That hit far too close to home. "And I think I've never known anyone as egotistical as you." "Egotistical? Try self-confident. Should I be meek instead? Would you like me better then?"

Just before his lips reached hers, she jerked her head back to whip it forward into his nose. A kiss. Distinct cracking sounded. With his nose pouring blood, he squeezed her upper arms, "Holly, what the fuck--" Using all her strength, she hiked her knee up between his legs. His hands flew to cup his groin as his knees met the ground. "You're right, Cadeon." She dusted off her hands. "That really fun."

I started my career early." At my raised brows, he said, "Assassin. My deadly gift made me well suited for the job. A single handshake could bring down a monarchy. The money grew over the centuries." His tone was blank; I couldn't tell how he felt about his past deeds. "So that's where you got those crowns." Trying to keep things light, I said, "Admit it--you wear them when no one's around. Play air tennis with the scepters?" "No, Empress. ..

When he'd watched her in the past, he hadn't understood why she would wear such conservative tops, then such provocative skirts. Yes, they went past her knees, but they also stretched so enticingly over her ass. He'd finally figured it out. Holly didn't realize how those expensive materials molded over her generous curves. Cade knew females liked to ask, "Does my ass look big in this?" But considering Holly as an example, he'd begun to susp..
