“A
kiss, when all is said, what is it? 'Tis a secret told to the mouth
instead of to the ear.” ~ Edmond Rostand

My final kissing scene is from my unpublished superhero romance, SUPER FAMOUS.
“I
think you're afraid of letting someone get to know the real you.
Everyone knows the superhero, but not the woman underneath. Even your
friends
and family only know the persona you've created for yourself.”
It's
what the world wanted. What she wanted. No one was interested in the
daughter of a well-to-do
lawyer who had nothing going on for herself. Everyone wanted the
Silver Skipper. Even her family and friends wanted that powerful
character. Being a superhero was what she was good at. Not just good,
she was excellent. Without it, she was nothing.
And
who was he to point this out to her?
“I'm
not afraid.” She repeated, chin up.
“Then
prove it. H—”
Oakley
mashed her mouth to his. Her arms wound around his middle to pull him
flush against her. It was even more sensational without the wine and
chocolate. It was all Benniton. Hard, male, and tasting lightly of
mint.
Their
lips parted at the same time and tongues rolled vying for dominance.
His hands slid up over her hips to rest on the small of her back,
holding her tight as if she might try to escape. Her fingers dug into
his shoulder blades. She wasn't going anywhere right now.
The
kiss lasted several seconds, maybe even a few minutes. The sizzle
fried her inner clock.
When
they stopped to catch their breath, he pressed his forehead against
hers and grinned. “I was only going to ask you to have dinner with
me.”
