Clockwork Princess Snippet

Well it's the last day of August, and to ease the passing into September I give you a Clockwork Princess snippet, straight from Cassie's Tumblr. Today's snippet contains the dreaded she so I have no idea who it is referring to. However, whenever you have someone pleading for a kiss, it can not be good.  

Her throat ached: adoration, heartbreak, in equal measure. “Kiss me,” she said. “Please.”

I don't know how this woman can manage to cause me so much pain with such a small sentence but there you go. Any guesses who the scene is talking about?
