“So, why is the new Guardsman taking massage courses?” M’rin looked at her over the top of an ornate cocktail glass.

Simry spluttered. “What?”

“I was teaching a therapeutic massage class this morning, and he was in it.” M’rin smiled slyly.

Simry blotted at her lips with the back of her hand until M’rin handed her a napkin. “Did he say why he was in the class?”

“Nope. He was just intent on learning all he could with the simulators.”

“Let me know how he does with a living patient.”

“You aren’t going to volunteer? You normally offer your body for education.” M’rin grinned.

“I...”

M’rin laughed out loud. “There is something between you, isn’t there?”

Simry remembered being in his mind. “Not as much as I would like. I was inside him and that creates a bond on both sides.”

“Oh, sounds dirty. Tell me more.”

She sighed and made a rude gesture while drinking deep of the cocktail. “Nothing to tell. I kept his thoughts company while his body was paralyzed. He focused entirely on me.”

M’rin gave her a long look. “That explains his fixation; what about your reaction?”

Simry blinked. “What do you mean?”

“When you think about him, you smile. It is a slow, sexy smile that has never crossed your face in my presence, not even when Leodar is doing naked yoga.”

“I...” she rubbed the back of her neck. “He was a hero to his people, and they just threw him away, yet he still wants to save them. It was in his mind when I was inside him. He wants the best for his people even if they abandoned him when he needed saving.”

“And you are interested in him beyond the wounded-warrior attraction.” M’rin had that sly smile again.

Simry got up and refilled their drinks. “I am not sure. Aside from a few disasters as a teen, I haven’t really sought out the opposite sex.”

“Or the same sex, though I have offered.” M’rin sighed wistfully.

“As pretty as you are, you are not my type. You are far too fickle. A nice compound fracture and I would be yesterday’s news.” Simry chuckled.

“I am not that fickle. It would have to be major body trauma to take me away from the pools of your eyes.”

“I thought it was my deep purple hair that caught your attention.” Simry flipped the cropped locks of her hair.

“Yes, but the crystal blue of your eyes keeps it.” M’rin winked.

They sat in silence for a moment, and then, Simry sighed. “Do you really think he is interested in me?”

“He massaged the legs of the simulator until it wanted to be with him. I am pretty sure that he is learning for you.”

Simry felt a light blush running over her skin. “Well, I am still not going to volunteer to be manhandled in front of a crowd.”

M’rin nodded. “Of course you aren’t. Drink up. I intend to ply you with alcohol, vids and conversation to get you to bend to my will.”

Simry emptied her glass and held it out. “You are welcome to try.”

“Oh, I do love a challenge.
