In a school filled with hackers and thieves, how do you trust your heart?
In this scene from A Divided Heart, Headmaster Kam has invited Professor Brinn to dinner. Brinn accepts, but only after Kam agrees that dinner means nothing more than dinner.
Excerpt A Divided Heart
Dinner went well. The food was amazing and the service excellent. He and Kam had much in common and found it easy to chat about small things. And then the server brought out the dessert. The biggest, darkest, richest slab of chocolate cake on the planet. Maybe the whole Empire.
Fork in hand, Kam looked down at the plate. "I think this is big enough for four people."
Brinn picked up his fork. "I don't mind eating for two if you don't." He dug into the cake. The first bite melted in his mouth, creamy and decadent. He groaned. "On second thought, I could eat for three."
Kam stuck his fork into the middle of the dessert. "Fighting words if ever I heard them."
"This is too good to fight over. We'll have to agree to eating half, and then we'll each lick our own side."
Kam's eyes flashed. "All I heard in that sentence was the word lick."
Laughing, Brinn filled up a forkful and offered it to Kam.
With his gaze locked on Brinn's, Kam stroked the bottom of the fork with his tongue and drew the treat into his mouth.
Heat rushed to Brinn's head...and other extremities.
So much for just dinner.
