Searing Kisses, better than sex?
Thank you for hosting on Books–n-Kisses, Kelly.
A kiss can be either drugging, or well, disgusting. Depends on who is doing the kissing. I believe chemistry between the two people plays a big role. What about if it’s the first kiss between two people? Imagine the anticipation and anxiety wondering how it would be, or the first physical contact? Or if two people, two best friends, one has always had feelings for his best friend, while the other is unaware of his/her friends feelings. Every person has a different reaction. Myself, I love a kiss that makes my toes curl. Better than sex anytime, and the good thing is, kisses can happen anywhere. And can lead to much, much more. If the kiss is as scorching as it is intoxicating, the sex will be better.
In my contemporary romance, Frey and Liese share a kiss. I’d like to share an excerpt from Truly, Madly, Deeply, You.
“Like, say, a kiss. On my cheek, if my lips might be little bit overwhelming for you.”
He became aware of the change in her breathing, and her squirming on the seat.
“Is that a challenge, Frey? You know better than to dare me. I never walked away
from a dare, remember?”
Oh, yes. He remembered every detail of the dares they had had over the years, up until
she got married to Bastian. An idea began forming in his head. Maybe, just maybe this would
be the one way…. “Yes, Li. It’s a dare. Come on, show me what you have in you.”
He saw hesitation in her eyes, uncertainty. If he didn’t goad her, she wasn’t going to
kiss him. And right now, he wanted that more than the cold air he breathed. “Scared of an itsy
bitsy little challenge?”
Her eyes narrowed at the challenging tone. Her full lips tightened, and then stretched
into the amazing smile that always sent his heart to a full gallop inside his chest.
“As a matter of fact, no.” She leaned forward and brushed her lips over his, then
pulled back and stared at him.
He rolled his eyes. “That was purely for show.” He leaned his head back, and lifted a
brow at her. “Is that all you got for me, Miss Dare-Me-Anytime-of-the-Year?”
She inhaled sharply. Without warning, she slid her hands around his neck and yanked
him closer. Her lips crashed into his, soft yet demanding. Caught off guard, he braced his
hands behind her head on the car seat to keep his full weight from landing on her. This was
the most awkward position he had ever kissed anyone in, or been kissed in, for that matter.
Before he could adapt to the quality of the kiss, it changed. The demanding note was gone,
and was replaced by a kiss so sensual it wiped the painful stitch from his side, along with any
sense of coherent thought. He groaned and shifted his body. Without breaking the kiss, he
climbed into the car, knelt in front of her, and urged her knees apart to accommodate his
torso. And then it ended so fast he was left reeling and breathing heavily.
He leaned forward, touching his forehead to hers. He closed his eyes, trying to breathe
in and out normally. He was aware of her rapid breathing, just as fast as his, and he knew the
kiss affected her as it had affected him.
His eyes flew open at the soft chuckle, cutting through the charged-up air.
“So, what were you saying Mr Dare-To-Kiss-Me?” The hands dropped away from his
face, but the warmth of them, and the kiss, lingered on.
“Intoxicating,” he said, as he attempted to step out of the car.
I just love a well done butter me up scotching kiss. J

Book Synopsis:
Four days before Valentine’s Day, Liese Hansfeld is determined to shut the door to her house, as well as her heart, for her annual four days of mourning her one true love. Little does she know her best friend Freytag Meier is just as determined to keep her from her ritual. He’s ready to pick the lock to her apartment door and camp in her living room if that’s what it takes.
What Freytag isn’t prepared for is the surge of deep-rooted emotions he feels for Liese, but two things stand in his way: the grief and guilt she still clutches close to her heart, and a man who threatens to snatch Liese from under Frey’s watchful eye. Frey is determined to distract her into forgetting her pain. But is that enough to ease her grief, or help her see he can be more than her best friend
Cecilia Robert enjoys the play and weave of words that make up a good story. She enjoys creating fantastical worlds and getting lost in them. She often meets a prince, a princess, a pirate, ordinary and badass boy or girl who take her through the wonderful world of dreaming and fantasy.
She doesn’t have particular leanings to any kind of story as long as it captures her attention She reads and enjoys urban/dark fantasy romance, paranormal, contemporary, sci-fi, mystery or horror as much as her children’s school books.
Some nights, you can find her reading Puss in Boots for her daughter, or trying to understand how to read Manga comics from her son.
