House of Thebes (The Bloodstone Saga) (15 page)

Putting it out of my mind for now, I studied the muscled woman standing with her back to me at the windows.  She was watching her warriors make camp outside and I knew I only had a few moments before she sensed my presence.  It would only take one touch from my hand.  Just one.  And then she would be out of my way and I could deliver Aphrodite to the Fates, securing my eternal freedom.

It would only take a second. 

I stepped into her room and closed the door softly behind me.
