The Education of Brother Thaddius And Other Tales of Demonwars (The Demonwars Saga)
“Across the way, sitting against the wall between a pair of large crates, the teenage girl watched his every movement, her eyes wary, her every muscle ready to propel her away if he moved threateningly toward her.
But he didn’t. He never did, and gradually, as he moved to the side of the doorway and sat down on another large box, Sadye relaxed. She scolded herself for her paranoia — Orrin had made no moves against her in the weeks of her indenture to him. When the court had ordered her so indent...ured, Sadye, more a young woman now than a girl, had thought his desire to take her from the court wrought of salacious intent. It usually was, after all, from everything the young street thief had heard. Many of her running mates had been caught and indentured to one or another influential Ursal landowner, and the stories of their subsequent existence after the indenture had rung out a similar, lewd note.
So far at least, Orrin Davii had thankfully not fit that mold.
Sadye regarded him now without the prism of her fear clouding her vision.MoreLess
