Introduction

“There’s nothing special about this workaday armorer, but nothing wrong with him either. Give him a task and he’ll work to earn his keep.”
Neverwinter

As if her turn for romance finally arrives, Janid Stolshore finds herself instantly attracted to the rather good-looking new armorer, Cord Brackman. Like a polar urge to escape her books and mind, she is magnetically drawn to his physicality. But her desire for Cord makes her even more avoidant, and as such she continues to come across as socially unreachable. Few words are spoken between them during their working hours. However, around the workshop they share small moments of smoldering eye contact with one another, as Cord repeatedly catches Janid looking at him, smiling knowingly to himself when she quickly looks away.

What Janid doesn’t let herself see is Cord’s attraction to her silent yearning for him. He knows he is wanted, and he in turn wants to fulfill that desire. And her avoidance of him only makes her more alluring. It’s that reserved, closed off personality that especially makes him want to conquer her. He sees her bookishness, her studious ways, and he wants to overpower it. He’s attracted to the idea of breaking her out of her mental cage and being the kind of outlet she has spent her life not having.

Unlike Janid, Cord isn’t much of a book reader, or one to seek striving pursuits of the mind. He is confessedly more interested in working with his body. And he tells Janid as much during an interaction in which they find themselves alone together – an interaction that hastily turns into a highly physical affair.
