Odian carried Nina into the tent and gently set her down. With a flick of his hand, he raised a soundproof barrier—then leaned in and claimed her lips…
Sashes loosened, fabric slipped free, and the air within the tent slowly warmed, thick with breath and unspoken longing…
. . .
After washing up, Sal went looking for Nina, but she was nowhere to be found.
He found Aviel instead. "Where's Nina? Have you seen her?"
Aviel looked around. "No. I was just about to look for her myself."
Ridan passed by, looking slightly guilty.
The High Priest already carried Lady Nina off…
"Ridan," Sal called, stopping him. "Have you seen Nina?"
Ridan shook his head quickly. "No, I haven't seen her."
He had no idea where his High Priest had taken her, and he wasn't about to say anything.
Just then, Ghost Wolf walked over, and Sal turned to him. "Have you seen Nina?"
"Lady Nina seemed to be with Lord Odian just now," Ghost Wolf replied.
"Where did they go?" Sal asked.
