Not sure how she’d respond to him, he moved closer to her and ran a hand over her hair.
She looked up at him. “Why did he do that?”
“Make the stew?” He leaned over and kissed her forehead, hoping she’d take it as a friendly gesture—and wanting to kiss her in ways that had nothing to do with being friends. “He’s a Warlord Prince. I guess he couldn’t stand seeing you work when you were hurting.” He eased back a little to look at her. Her eyes held a female awareness of a male that eased one kind of tension in him and created another. “So. Are you going to let me fuss a little?”

She peeked over the top shelf, then ducked back down out of sight. Poor man. Roxie had been sneering at his merchandise since she walked in the door, proclaiming loudly that the aristo shops in Doun had much better fare. But that hadn’t stopped her from plunking several items on the counter. And now . . .
“What do you mean I can’t put it on the account?” Roxie’s voice rose toward a screech. “He told me I could buy anything I wanted and put it on his account.”
“Unfortunately,” the proprietor replied, his voice condemning in its politeness, “Prince Yaslana has not informed me of that fact.”
