Star Crossed Teaser!!!!
Teaser from Star Crossed (Shadow Thane, #4).
“I'm surprised you didn't make me beg.”
“I suspect you would starve before you surrendered your pride.”
“Let me guess,” she said. “Pride goeth before a fall?”
“Exactly.” The witch tore into an apple, and with his glowing aura and serpentine eyes, she thought he looked like the very embodiment of everything that had caused mankind's fall from grace. He smiled, as though reading her mind. “So don't tempt me.”
“Or what?” She tried for blasé, though she found his words bewildering. She drew herself up haughtily, looking down her nose at him. “You'll make me fall?”
“You're already falling,” he said, turning over the core in his long fingers, “it's a merely a question of whether I'll let you hit the ground on your way down.”

Star Crossed Teaser
Well, it's more of a quote, but it was too long for me to post in a status update so here you go.
His answering smile was a cruel, beautiful smile that made her certain he was going to both break her heart and watch her choke on the sharp pieces as he made her eat it; it promised pleasure followed speedily by pain, and vice vice versa, and a profound sense of absence borne of atrophied satisfaction; he would fill her up with a bouyant emptiness, and leave an even bigger void when he'd left, forcing her to come back, again and again, and each subsequent time would be worse than the time before. He was elusive, he was elemental, he was cruel.
Loving him, she realized, would be a lot like drowning.
