Teaser Tuesday 12.28.10

Teaser Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading and it asks us to...

• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page
• Share a couple of “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn't give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
• Share the title & author, too, so that other Teaser Tuesday participants can add the book to their TBR lists if they like your teasers.

My teaser today is a bit long but it was wayyyy too good not to share!!  Oh man, Chessie gone and messed up now.  *oh snap*

Isalys's Teaser:

"She thought she was going to be sick.  The one thing she'd sworn she would never do, the one place she'd always said she had too much self-respect to go, and here she was.  She'd done it.  And she hadn't even noticed.

More gently than she would have expected,his hands found hers and disentangled them from his jacket.  He pushed her away, his gaze focused on the ground.  He wouldn't even look at her.  She was glad.  She didn't want him to see her like this.

"Naw," he said.  "Naw, Chess, you ain't a whore.  A whore's honest."

He turned and left."
