The awesome Cecilia Robert and Christine Rains are holding a super fun blogfest this week, all about some kissing :) I read about this and totally had to sign up! Want some more details and to join in the fun? Check it out here!
So what are we supposed to share? 250 words of a fiction or non-fiction kissing scene :) I thought I'd share a hot little kissing (and maybe more) scene from my current WIP. Here's Leah and Adam from AN ABSENCE OF LIGHT:
I woke sometime early the next morning. My headache was gone and I squeezed
my eyes shut, not ready to wake quite yet. I’d had a much too nice a dream to
get moving.
Tentatively, I stretched out, tapping along the blankets until my
fingers reached a warm body.
“So it wasn’t a dream,” I muttered, opening my eyes to the grey pre-dawn
light.
Adam grinned but didn’t move. His shirt had rumpled up, revealing a
large portion of his stomach. Without thinking about it, I ran a hand over the
flat expanse of skin, completely mesmerized by the ripple of muscle there.
Adam sucked in a shocked breath.
“Are my hands cold?” I asked, unable to hold back a giggle.
He shook his head.
“Am I bothering you?” I didn’t quite know why I cared. I wanted this.
And I knew he did too. Still, I started to pull away like a frightened child.
Adam grabbed my hand and pulled it to his mouth, running my fingers
across his lips. With his other hand, he tugged on my shoulder until I scooted
closer to him.
Rolling over, eyes still screwed shut, he folded around me. “This is a
dream, isn’t it?”
I shook my head, not trusting my voice. My whole body thrummed with an
inner energy I didn’t fully understand, but couldn’t imagine stopping.
“Good.” With that, he rolled over me, pinning me down with his weight.
His mouth found mine, and I lost any power of conscious thought.

Eeeeee!!!! Smoking excerpt!!!! Loved it, Meradeth. I totally want to know their story now. What a fun fest. :)
ReplyDeleteYay!! Glad you liked it :)
DeleteVery nice, Meradeth! I love pre-dawn kisses, and even better when the man is pinning you to the bed! ;)
ReplyDeletePre-dawn kisses are the best ;)
DeleteOooh! Love it!
ReplyDeleteMeradeth, your swoons just keep getting better and better and I'm totally in love already knowing that his name is Adam :-)
ReplyDeleteI swear I named him before I read your books, but reading about your Adam totally made me happy :)
DeleteGotta know why they thought it was a dream! Nice scene, makes you think maybe they'd been just friends before, but now... :)
ReplyDeleteGlad it made you wonder :)
DeleteAh, Mer. :) Love this snippet! Is Absence Of Light about Sarys as well? Can't wait to read this one. I really love it when a guy kisses a woman's fingers/hand. there's something romantic and tender about it.. *dreamy sigh*
ReplyDeleteThere is, isn't there?? :)
DeleteNow that's the best way to wake up! It was tender and organic. Well done! Thank you for participating in the blogfest. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for running it--it's been lots of fun!
DeleteNice! Great use of the word 'thrummed' there :D
ReplyDeletelol, thanks! :)
DeleteI'd like to wake up to that!
ReplyDeletelol, so would I! O.o
DeleteWhat a way to wake up! But you left us right at the good part...
ReplyDeleteHehe, I think the rest is up to a good imagination!
DeleteNow that's a great way to wake up!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely!! :)
DeleteWhat a way to wake up - not bothering him at all!
ReplyDeleteNot bothering either of them, haha! :)
DeleteLovely scene, sexy and hot! I like how they both awoke thinking the other was just a dream!
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked it! :)
DeleteAnother hot one! I'm gonna run out of cold water for my shower if this keeps up. Er. Scratch that last word.
ReplyDeleteA good scene, Meradeth!
ReplyDeleteThanks! :)
DeleteGoogle+ sent me this link and from a romantic type guy's perspective, I gotta say I loved it. Very... sensory, made me feel it even though I've never even kissed anyone ;)
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked it Ethan, though that kinda freaked me out that G+ is randomly sending out my posts! :)
DeleteAnd all I can think of now is ...
ReplyDelete"This is a dream."
"Then it's a good one."
^_^
Definitely a good dream!! :)
DeleteAwesome! Can't wait to read this book! Thanks for sharing this scene. :)
ReplyDeleteYay!! So glad you liked it :)
DeleteThis scene was amazing. Both characters shined in showing how they really felt.
ReplyDeleteThanks!!! :)
DeleteBrilliant scene! You captured the feelings beautifully!
ReplyDeleteThanks!! :)
