The kiss was as one-sidedly passionate as it was short.

Skulduggery pulled away almost as soon as their lips touched, an odd expression on his face. Shock? Confusion?

"What on Earth do you think you're doing?" His deep, velvety voice made her knees weak. It also made her want to kiss him again.

"I think I'm kissing a very handsome man," she answered silkily, tracing a finger lightly down the side of his face, "Or, at least, I was before he so rudely backed away."

"You were indeed," Skulduggery said, "Which you should not have been, as that very handsome man is happily married and has a family."

She watched, also rather confused, as he walked quickly away from her.

How had she ended up kissing him? She had been told to merely capture him, kill him only if absolutely necessary . Of course, when she'd been given that order, she hadn't expected her target to be quite so good-looking. Nor had she expected to become so infatuated with him so quickly.

It was then, a plan already taking form in her head, that the beautiful China Sorrows vowed to make the enigmatic Skulduggery Pleasant fall irrevocably, perhaps even madly, in love with her.

Short, I know. I'm trying to continue it. Regardless, is it any good so far?
