Chapter 1: Jealousy

How did she manage to always do this to him? Just the way she moved those hips, it seemed to drive him crazy. Why on earth did he allow Valkyrie and Tanith to drag him along to this stupid club. He was Skulduggery Pleasant for gods sake. He did not do dancing. Well, he didn't until she came over and batted those eyelashes.

"Come on Skulduggery, pleaaasseeee? For me?" She begged him.

He sighed as she dragged him onto the dance floor, just as a slow song came on. She tied her arms around his neck and he, around her waist. He thanked whatever god there was that he didn't have a heart, otherwise he knew for sure that it would beat a tattoo into his chest right now. She moved so her head was against his chest. Skulduggery felt like the luckiest man in the world, having such an amazing creature in his arms. At that moment the club turned slightly darker, making Valkyrie look up. Her eyes caught Skulduggery's sockets, staring deep into each other. She leaned up, pressing her lips to his teeth. He pressed into her slightly, treating her like she was porcelain. They pulled apart, staring into each other.

"You don't know how long I've wanted to do that for," She whispered.

Skulduggery nodded. "I know exactly what you mean,"
