Blood Proxy Excerpt: When she was
exploring the corridors of the palace she ran into Naccar, the prince
who had a thousand questions about the races that she had studied.
They formed a fast friendship, and when her companion contract
expired, he hired her as his tutor.
They had had an on again, off again contract relationship ever
since.
He looked over at her slyly. “Commander Matias has been
asking about you.”
She flushed slightly, “Has he? I haven’t given him a second
thought.” Seventeen, or possibly twenty, but not merely two thoughts
for the devastatingly handsome Commander.
“Of course you haven’t. And I also didn’t catch you two
on a balcony engaged in a heated debate, in silence and using only
your tongues.”
“Never happened.” She tried to be prim, but that moment
with Matias had burned in her body ever since.
He had backed her up against the balcony railing and started a
conversation, while slowly seducing her with his midnight eyes and
slow smiles. He had leaned in to kiss her, and she had moved to meet
him halfway. His hands had only begun to explore her when Naccar came
barrelling around the corner. His bark of laughter had made her face
heat with blood, and a sharp move from Matias reminded her that his
people were sensitive to blood and the rhythms of her body. Controlled
predators.
“Of course not.” They both began to giggle and she gave in
on that topic, then quizzed him on his studies. He was doing well at
histories, mathematics and composition. His weak points were etiquette
and dance.
“I can help you with that, since I am here anyway.”
“I was hoping that you would say that. I get on the dance
floor with an attractive girl and I trip over my own feet.”
She gave him a wink and smiled as the Summer palace came into
their view. “I have taught Oesh to dance. You will have no
trouble.”
“You have no idea how relieved I am to hear that.”
“A particular young noblewoman has caught your eye?”
“Yes. And she dances like a moonbeam brought to the surface
and given human form.” He sighed heavily.
“And I can see that my poetry lessons were well learned.”
She gave a bark of laughter and let him bring the skimmer in for a
smooth landing.
