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

A kiss from THE GHOST (Vol. 6 of the 13th Floor series)
Chiharo froze when she realized his hands had covered hers. He wasn't prying her off him as he should've with a panicking girl. Instead, he drew her closer until their bodies were almost touching. Jeremy was skinny and closer to her short height than Tim. A much better fit for her.
He raised his hands, caressing her cheeks with his thumbs. She expected him to say something. His mouth was always running. Maybe something cheesy, a compliment, or even a curse word she hadn't heard yet.
Nothing. His fingers slid into her hair, and she shivered. The second before a kiss. It was just as intense as the act itself. The tension between them chased the chill away. Warmth spread through her as color lit up his face.
Was he this beautiful before?
His lips parted just slightly before he kissed her. They were softer than she expected and hotter still. She melted against him and flattened her palms against his chest. Her eyes fluttered closed as she made a little wanton sound that she'd never heard come from herself before.
Jeremy was neither too gentle nor sweet. His tongue tangled with hers as if seeking the source of her moan.
Whoever said a person's first kiss was always the best was never kissed a second time.
