Idol of Bone
Page 31
Confident in that certain knowledge, Bryn made no attempt to move away from the drone, but merely stood and watched as he trudged closer. It was, after all, no hardship to do so. Despite his zombielike gait and unfocused gaze, the drone was a gorgeous human being. Not movie-star handsome, but compelling and powerful looking. Tall, broad-shouldered, lean hipped. Black hair and pale gold skin. A hard edge to his features and a slightly aggressive thrust to his jaw. A tiny frown that drew his well-shaped brows together. Bryn tilted his head and wondered what it would feel like to press his fingertips into that little knot of worried flesh and smooth it out. Kiss the annoyance off that handsome face. Find out if there might be humour there, a smile to be coaxed.
Chances were the drone would be straight, of course, but a man could dream, and where better to dream than Somnus, after all?
Bryn sighed.
And in that moment, something impossible happened.
The drone’s head snapped up. He looked at Bryn, and his eyes widened. They were startlingly blue and sharp. Aware. Entirely undrone-like.
He was seeing Bryn.
The drone was awake, as awake as any dreamwalker.
