"We need to get going," one said in a low growl as he came up beside me. "Not playing with some toy at the bath house. There's plenty of things to play with at the party."
"I don't know," the other one responded loud enough for everyone to hear. "This toy is nice to look at."

I couldn't help the smile that tugged at the corners of my lips. Perhaps I was finally losing my mind or maybe the heat was just getting to me. Crazy or not though, it didn’t matter. These men were nobles, powerful men with pull and sway. Getting close to them was my potential foot in the door to the life of the rich and the powerful.

The 4 Faces of Corruption

Kyros made me nervous. It was clear to me that he was up to something, but I couldn't be sure what exactly that was. When I finished helping Eris settle back into bed, I lingered. 


"Was there something else?" Eris asked, her large green eyes peering up at me. 


"No," I said, unable to come up with a lie to keep me in the room. "Call for me if you need anything, I'll just be in the other room."


"You're more than welcome to return to your home, Deimos. I believe your patient will survive the night without you hovering over her like some milk-maid." Kyros spoke without looking up from his book. 


I couldn't think of an argument against him that wouldn't start another fight. So, I looked back to Eris. "Would you like me to stay?"


One word from her and I'd fight to stay, regardless of what Kyros had to say on the matter.
