The Kiss

I was just reading Elana Johnson’s blog, and apparently we writers are supposed to post a kiss from novel we are working on or have worked on. So here it is from Lost in a Heartbeat. Hope you enjoy it as much as Calleigh did. At least this kiss wasn’t disastrous like the first one.

We finished our breakfast, but I still wasn’t ready to move. Aaron didn’t seem to be in a big rush to leave, either.

I scooted closer to him, our bodies touching, my heart thumping so loud I was positive he could hear it.

“About the optional condition regarding this bracelet”—I held up my wrist to show him what bracelet I was referring to—“the answer is yes.”

He knew exactly what I meant. He leaned forward, his lips close to mine, then he paused, a smile on his face. “You’re not gonna hit me if I kiss you, are you?”

I didn’t actually answer him with words. Instead, I leaned in the rest of the way and kissed him. And unlike last time, the only thoughts I had were of Aaron and the caress of his mouth against mine.

Do you have a favorite book in which the kiss scene rocks? Check out this link to Absolute Write in which kissing in YA novels was discussed. There’re some great recommendations.
