VALENTINE'S DAY EVERYONE!!!
I am so excited to share so much goodness and LOVE today - and maybe a little bit of hawt kissing too!
First, today it the INDIE-Kissing Blogfest, hosted by the Indelibles. Participating is easy - just blog about something related to kissing (yum) and your in! For my post, I decided to share a never-before-shared kissing scene from Libera Me, book #2 in the Requiem Series.
This scene features the yummy Zane, who is in his angelic form, and the confused Nessa (he calls her Nesy) who is decidedly human. When I wrote the scene, I called it my "ghost" scene - those familiar with the movie "ghost" will likely be able to figure out why:
She threads her fingers through my hair,
sending fresh currents of desire through me. “You are so familiar, so safe. I
feel like we’ve known each other forever.”
“We have.”
Her eyes grow sad and I regret bringing up that
life. I cup her face in my hands, feeling her tremble beneath my touch. Tipping
her chin up, I stare into her blue eyes. “You’re everything I need, Nesayiel.
Just as you are. You don’t need to remember another life, don’t need to be the
person you once were. I love you as you are, today. Everything else will take
care of itself.”
The minute the words leave I know I’ve crossed
a line I can never undo.
Nesy smiles, pulling me closer. Her lip
trembles as she draws a ragged breath. “I think,” she starts, hesitating. “I
think I love you, too. Maybe I always have.”
I stiffen. My body quivering from her
closeness. This can’t happen. Shouldn’t happen. And I’m powerless to stop it.
She flattens again me, brushing her lips
against mine. My heart skips a beat and my legs buckle. Her touch is tentative,
searching.
I can stop this now before it goes further.
Nothing good will come from these feelings, my actions.
“Please,” she whispers as her fingers thread
through my hair. “I need you.”
I let my eyes fall closed as she kisses me
again, less tentative this time. My defenses break and I melt under her touch.
All the guilt and shame, gone.
The pain and suffering, gone.
There’s nothing but her touch and our feelings.
I pull back, breathless. My head swims.
Is this real?
She kisses me again. Nothing matters but her in
this moment.
“Azryel's Wings,” I whisper, unable, unwilling,
to stop.
I kiss her with an endless hunger. Time has no
meaning. My wings tighten around us as the ground falls away and we are
suspended.
No past or future.
No here or there.
Nothing but me and Nesy, locked in an embrace I
want to last forever.
Our lips part and ripples of desire more
intense than anything I could imagine shoot through me. I feel her body tremble
in response and I pull back.
The separation rips a hole through me, creating
an overwhelming loneliness. Nesy smiles, her eyes reflecting the heat, the
need, I feel.
“Don’t go,” she whispers. “Please.”
We kiss again and again, lost in an embrace
that changes everything.
Nesy is my future now. My only future.
She pulls back, her eyes wet.
“What’s wrong,” I ask.
“You can’t stay, can you? Not really. This is in
my mind.”
“I’m here now.”
“But what about tomorrow?”
I pull her back to me. “Tomorrow doesn’t
matter.” I pull her into a kiss that fuses use together.
She’s all I want, all I need.
She’s all that matters. For now.

Great kissing, Christine, I like the way you've described a kiss with the reaction as opposed to what actually happened, lips touching etc. Nice one. Methinks I've learnt something about writing about kissing -- can only be a good thing in my book!
