Excerpt from Vordol’s Vow by Dena Garson:
“Vordol! H-How are you?” Pitannah pushed a tuft of
hair behind her ear. Her heart hammered against her chest so hard she thought
it would burst out at any second. Seeing the object of your fantasies come to
life after almost six years tended to do that to a girl. Especially when that
fantasy had grown bigger, darker, and if possible, sexier.
“Well. You look good. A lot more grown up than the
last time I saw you.” He glanced at her name tag. “You work for Quantam now?”
“Yes.” She clung to her serving tray like a lifeline
and tried to not stare at the way his jacket bulged from the muscle mass he’d
gained since she’d last seen him. “I’ve been with them for almost a year. What
brings you aboard?” she asked in a rush.
“Work.” His eyes darted about the room before landing
on Ms. Ruby who was watching their exchange with interest now that the Maître
de had seated her.
“You’re here for the talent search then?” Pitannah
guessed.
“She is, so I am too.” He gestured to the table. “Are
you assigned to Ruby’s table?”
“Oh, no. I was just helping one of the other girls
finish setting up for dinner. I usually rotate through a couple of the other
sections.”
“That’s too bad.”
The rumbling purr in his voice send goose bumps down
her spine.
“Vordol, bring your little friend over and introduce
her,” Ms. Ruby suggested.
Vordol’s lips twitched even as he waved her ahead of
him. “Ruby, this is PitannahLorento. She’s Harec’s oldest daughter.” To
Pitannah he added, “Pitannah, this is the incomparable, Ms. Ruby Rose.”
Ruby extended her hand to Pitannah. “It’s lovely to
meet you my dear.”
Pitannah shook Ruby’s hand and tried to not gawk.
“It’s wonderful to meet you, too. I’ve followed your career for years.”
“Oh, thank you, dear.” Ruby shot a questioning look at
Vordol. “Harec is the Security Engineer who trained you, isn’t he?”
Vordol nodded then faced Pitannah. “How is Harec? I
haven’t heard from him in quite a while.”
She grimaced. “Papa died about six months ago.”
Vordol’s expression fell. “Damn. I’m sorry. I didn’t
know.”
“Oh, my dear. I’m so sorry we brought up a sad topic
for you.” Ms. Ruby patted Pitannah’s hand. “Your father was a huge influence on
Vordol and I, for one, am very grateful for it.”
“Thank you.” Pitannah bit her lip. “I don’t mean to be
forward, but are you two related somehow? You seem quite close.”
Ms. Ruby smiled. “I like to think so. I’ve known this
handsome young man since he and those other hoodlums he calls brothers were
chasing each other with sticks and mud.”
Vordol crossed his arms over his chest. “Who are you
kidding? We still chase each other with sticks and mud.”
“Yes, dear, but now you call it training,” Ruby
teased.
“Ruby and my foster mother, Sela, were close friends.”
Vordol chatted with them, seemingly at ease, but his stance and his frequent
glances about the room told her he was on alert. Her father had been the same
way.
“Sela made many of my costumes, back in the day. The
most talented seamstress in the cosmos,” Ruby declared.
“But, Ruby attracts trouble like sugar attracts pests,
so we keep a close eye on her.”
Ruby patted his arm. “You’re being modest. There’s no
one I trust more to protect me at events like this.” She winked at Pitannah.
“Besides, who doesn’t want a handsome devil escorting you to all the big
parties?”
“Well, I don’t blame you there,” Pitannah grinned.
“Miss? Could we get a refill?” One of the nearby
customers waved his glass in the air at her.
“I better get back to work.” She smiled
apologetically. “It was lovely meeting you.” To Vordol she asked, “So, I’ll be
seeing you around all weekend?”
“You most certainly will.”
Damn, that voice of his made her knees weak. The
appreciate look in his eye make her think he was hungry for more than just
dinner. Or was just wishful thinking on her part? Somewhat distracted, Pitannah
went to assist the customer.
Throughout the rest of her shift, she could feel
Vordol’s eyes on her as she delivered food and drinks to nearby tables. It took
a little while, but eventually she regained her rhythm. With a skill long honed
during years in the service industry, she sidestepped the rambunctious young
men who had already consumed too much drink or some other substance and were
making a bit of a scene. Then she navigated around the table of pudgy middle
aged men who had given unwanted attention to every female who happened to pass
too close.
And so her evening passed. Much like every evening.
But at least for a few days she would have something pleasant to look at.
Vordol Silveira. She fanned her now warm face. So much
for thinking she had outgrown her teenaged obsession with him. The younger
Vordol had been something but this older version would likely haunt her dreams
for years to come. The bad boy she had known had grown into a predator that
oozed sex. Ms. Ruby would probably have to fight the bimbos off of him through
the competition.
That thought both amused and annoyed her.
