Chapter Twelve

The sound of water splashing awoke Dryston from a much-needed deep sleep. It took him a moment to remember where he was and with whom.

He was pleased that Sierra had gone into the water. Her wound needed to be cleansed. He had heard once that Saxons rubbed the oil of poison fish on their blades. So that if the blade itself did not kill you, the poison would finish the job.

He lay on his back and stared up at the blanket of stars. Damn, it felt good to be free again. For a moment he was reminded of his childhood when he and Torin would go camping in the woods. If they were lucky they'd find a group of maidens bathing in a pond. He realized then that he had not heard Sierra splashing.

He opened his mouth to call out to her when his eyes caught some movement near the bank. From the depths of the dark water, the watery siren emerged, pushing her cap of dark hair back from her face. Lithe and delicate, her pale skin shimmered in the flickering firelight.

She turned her face to the sky and Dryston's eyes followed the gentle slope of her neck and around to the white globes of her breasts. She was a goddess, a flesh-and-blood woman...a Saxon executioner's apprentice, he reminded himself.

Dryston could not tear his eyes from her.

She glanced at him as she bent for her clothes. Dryston held her gaze.
