Rowan left the tent housing Ravin wearing a frown on his face. The realization that a fourth assassin had struck was quite a blow. At least he’d assumed it was a fourth assassin. He’d seen Ravin in action with those daggers of his—who else could have bested the thief?

A whispered inquiry to Erlic had revealed that the fiery Isobel had finished the man off, raising her to a new height of respect in his eyes. He loved a woman who could look as good as she did in a skimpy outfit and still have the muscle to take a man down and slice his good for nothing throat. Lucky Ravin, getting to share a tent with a fox like that…imagine waking up from an injury-induced snooze and getting a real eye-full like that! Any man would think he’d died and gone to the twelfth heaven for the first couple seconds or so.

Rowan shook his head, trying to clear thoughts of Isobel and her cute little pantaloons and low-cut bodice from his mind. He was glad they’d taken on such an able fighter, especially one who had no qualms about taking off after an assassin, wounded or not. Maybe she was one woman who wouldn’t think so badly of guys like him and Erlic.

But he didn’t want her like that. Well, okay, if the opportunity presented itself, and she stopped walking around with her nose in the air all the time, he’d pull her into one of these empty tents and show her a damn good time, Silvertree style. But the prospect didn’t seem likely. If she wanted to act the virginal temptress, that was okay by him. He had his Tia to fantasize about.

I shouldn’t think of Tia like that, he told himself mentally, frowning again. Tia was his good friend, and he respected her, a lot. But…why couldn’t he tell her how he felt about her? It was like there was some curse or something hanging over his shoulder. Every time he tried, something interrupted them, and she walked off before he could turn around and grab her. Maybe it was fate. Maybe they weren’t suited for each other, and he would have to stick to only dreaming about her at night, if only pretending he saw her as only a friend during the day.

He wandered about camp for a while, asking some of the Jann if they’d spotted a cute little pixie of a girl in the last hour or so. Some of the women smiled when he asked, nodding their heads knowingly to one another. “What?” he would ask, but all he’d ever get were stifled giggles and coy winks. Was she telling dirty secrets about him or something? He tried to remember if he’d actually told her any dirty secrets about himself, and decided he hadn’t. Okay, well now he was just about to die from curiosity.

After a while, he returned to the area of the camp his friends had taken to hanging around. He looked all over for the others, smiling when he finally heard voices coming from the food tent. Hey, maybe that hot looking genie boy would be in there, too! He quickened his footsteps, rubbing absently at his stomach as it growled in anticipation.

“Wow,” he muttered, grinning like an idiot as he stepped past the flap. He raised his eyebrows at the nice image before him: an exquisitely beautiful Saras beaming down at his two companions as he asked them about the Sea of Salt. And one of those companions was Tia! Rowan felt like doing a little jig right there with pleasure. Here he’d spent forever looking for her, and she turns up right when he least expects it!

“Branches,” he supplied, drawing the attention of all three. “In the Sea of Salt. You were asking, right?” He drew nearer and gave Saras a playful wink. “I’m sure we’d all love you to come,” he added, his voice taking on a somewhat salacious tone. He held the genie’s pretty eyes for a few seconds longer than necessary, before turning to Tia.

“What’s that?” he asked, grabbing for the bundle she held under her arm. Like a cat, she danced quickly out of his way, snatching her package back faster than he could blink. “Come on,” he urged, a grin coming to his face, “Lemme see, Tia!” He continued to harass her, doing his best to pluck the bundle from her hands, until he eventually backed her into a corner. Since he’d been mostly playing around with her before, he had no trouble now grabbing hold of her wrist with one hand and grabbing the package with the other.

His blue eyes widened as he pulled out the contents, letting the empty bundle fall to the floor. A beautiful, gauzy Jann outfit, sewn into a size about as tiny as they made them, lay in his arms, the smooth silk caressing his calloused fingers. For a second, he couldn’t think of anything to say, then he turned back to Tia, a rather naughty smile coming to his face.

“You gonna try this on for me?” he asked, putting just the right amount of pleading in his voice. Visions of a skimpily dressed Tia doing a sexy little belly dance swam through his head, and he thought he might pass out from pleasure right there. What possessed her to want to wear an outfit like this anyway? Oh well. He didn’t care. He just wanted her to hurry up and put the damn thing on!
