Monday Bewitched & Betrayed snippet featuring Talon

As promised, today's snippet features Raine and Talon. Enjoy!

I finally got into the cell.

Talon was conscious and giving me a lascivious look that I'd gotten on numerous occasions from his father. The similarities made me uncomfortable in ways I'd never imagined.

Talon was chained to the wall. There were enough links to allow limited movement, but that was about it. I thought it was a little overdone. No doubt the kid was nimble, and he was a knockout spellsinger, but wards, a gag spell and chained to the wall? Apparently I could add paranoid to my list of Sarad Nukpana descriptors.

Talon rattled his chains and grinned, slow and wicked. "I've had this dream before."

Yep, like father, like son.

I just looked at him. "Kid, I can go right back out the way I came in -- without you."

"I'll shut up."

"Smart choice."
