Story Snippet:

     Sabriel slid slowly down the wall when the front door fell shut behind him. Her hand lifted to her lips, touching them as if they’d changed shape. They tingled. She could still feel his thumb there, couldn’t forget how he’d made her feel. She hadn’t wanted to feel anything. Not for him. Now she couldn’t get that look he’d given her out of her mind.
     He’d looked at her as if she were the most precious thing in his world.
     How the hell was a woman supposed to resist that?
     For long minutes she just sat and stared at the door, her mind a jumble of contradicting thoughts, trying to get over her attraction to him. And she was attracted. Sabriel wouldn’t lie to herself, didn’t try to reason her feelings away. There was something about him that pulled her in, something that made her care when she wanted to hate him. It was all a total mess.
