From a scene from Bound by Wyvern’s Blood<\/em> where Mirrin doses Brendar’s wine with an aphrodisiac:<\/p>\n

He drained the glass, then set it down on the table and smiled when he saw how intently she was watching him. \u201cThe wine was still trembling in its glass when you finished with it,\u201d he said. \u201cCareless of you. Was it poison? I switched glasses.\u201d<\/p>\n

She swallowed. Her mouth was dry. Blindly, she reached for her own wineglass and almost knocked it over. Some of it spilled onto her dress, leaving a crimson stain. It didn\u2019t matter; she\u2019d be undressing soon enough. \u201cIt wasn\u2019t poison.\u201d She brought the glass to her lips.<\/p>\n

His eyes widened as she drank. It ran like molten metal down her throat. She never released his gaze, even as she lowered the glass.<\/p>\n

\u201cYour father slew the wyvern,\u201d she said. \u201cThe blood was rightfully yours. And you captured Elenyor. You\u2019ve one last thing to take, Warlord.\u201d She began to pull at the laces of her bodice.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
