She was undeniably a beauty. But your first is always beautiful, Theon Greyjoy thought. “Now there’s a pretty grin,” a woman’s voice said behind him. “The lordling likes the look of her, does he?” Theon turned to give her an appraising1 glance. He liked what he saw. Ironborn, he knew at a glance; lean and longlegged, with black hair cut short, wind-chafed skin, strong sure hands, a dirk at her belt. Her nose was too big and too sharp for her thin face, but her smile made up for it. He judged her a few years older than he was, but no more than five-and twenty. She moved as if she were used to a deck beneath her feet. “Yes, she’s a sweet sight,” he told her, “though not half so sweet as you.” “Oho.” She grinned. “I’d best be careful. This lordling has a honeyed tongue.” “Taste it and see.” “Is it that way, then?” she said, eyeing him boldly. There were women on the iron Islands-not many, but a few-who crewed the longships along with their men, and it was said that salt and sea changed them, gave them a man’s appetites. “Have you been that long at sea, lordling? Or were there no women where you came from?” “Women enough, but none like you.” “And how would you know what I’m like?” “My eyes can see your face. My ears can hear your laughter. And my cock’s gone hard as a mast for you.” The woman stepped close and pressed a hand to the front of his breeches. “Well, you’re no liar,” she said, giving him a squeeze through the cloth. “How bad does it hurt?” “Fiercely.” “Poor lordling.” She released him and stepped back. “As it happens, I’m a woman wed3, and new with child.” “The gods are good,” Theon said. “No chance I’d give you a bastard4 that way.” “Even so, my man wouldn’t thank you.” “No, but you might.” “And why would that be? I’ve had lords before. They’re made the same as other men.” “Have you ever had a prince?” he asked her. “When you’re wrinkled and grey and your teats hang past your belly5, you can tell your children’s children that once you loved a king.” “Oh, is it love we’re talking now? And here I thought it was just cocks and cunts.” “Is it love you fancy?” He’d
