Finding Lara (Distant Worlds Book 3) - Plot & Excerpts
The Maize were saving her and Thaos for last. Thaos because he was just that exotic. She knew it was only a matter of time before they came for the boy. She closed her eyes and tried to think of a solution, anything that would keep them together. When there were only a few of them left in the slave pens she knelt down and turned him to look at her. His tiny face was so solemn. “We will be separated,” she said carefully in Avian. Carefully so she would not show how very worried she was for both of them. “I give you my solemn oath I will find you again.” Her hands on both of his arms, her eyes meeting the deep well of gold in his, she willed him to see her absolute belief that it would be so. His skin under her hands heated up with her touch and she felt dizzy for a moment, even as he was nodding his head in agreement. She felt more than heard Dorcet come up beside them. Time was up. “Stay brave, little man. I won’t be long.” Then she let him go, and he was led away, his head turned so that he could watch her as long as he could. She smiled reassurance at him and then he was out on the stage and the bidding began. She watched everything, memorizing the humanoid who finally purchased him with an excited look and a whole lot of platinum. After all, it was not every day an Avian was found so young.
