Before she could stop her hands, they reached for him, as though they existed for no other reason than to touch him. Her fingers brushed across his jaw with a feather's caress before pulling away, and he closed his eyes on a soft inhale. Like the poison toying with its remedy, Shahrzad's hands ignored her and took control, a mere taste of his skin not nearly enough. Never enough. Renee Ahdieh
About This Quote

The power of the hands is something that rarely gets the attention it deserves. Hands are the most important element of touch. A person will use their hands to protect themselves, to comfort themselves, and to express love. But hands are also very capable of doing great harm.

They can be powerful weapons of destruction. And this is clear in this story. When Shahrzad touches her target, she cannot help but want more than just a taste of his skin.

She wants him all up in her hands and she will do anything she can to get him there. This is true no matter what he has done or how he has hurt her in the past. For Shahrzad, it’s all about how it feels now and now only.
