Snippet
Zenobia
- Birth of a Legend, Chapter 37:
“All
is fair in love and war!” he yelled back.
Her
adrenaline kicked in and she tore up the stairs after him and grabbed onto his
tunic with both hands and hung on with all her strength. He dragged her up for
a few steps and then he collapsed and they both burst out in gasping laughter.
She
pulled herself up alongside him until their faces were less than a cubit apart.
“And which is this, Salim,” she asked with a pant, “love or war?”
He
put his hands up defensively and said, “Zenobia …”
She
put a hand on each of his shoulders and pulled herself closer. “Am I making you
nervous, warrior?” she asked teasingly, but keeping her voice down. She did not
want the sound to carry.
“Yes,
you are,” he answered seriously.
“Good!”
she said emphatically as she clasped her hands behind his neck. “You have been
avoiding me since we climbed the pyramid. Why?”
He
tried unsuccessfully to pull away. “Not my idea, I assure you.”
