This week the theme is 'Our Sexy Love', and I have chosen an excerpt from an untitled WIP, focusing on a polyamorous foursome. This scene happens after Amelia's new love interest, Harrison, has been punched by her ex-boyfriend. They have been taking their time getting to know each other, and haven't even kissed yet, but the tension growing between them is overwhelming, to say the least.
“Can I do anything?” Amelia asked quietly.
“You are already
making it feel better,” Harrison whispered, he knew it was probably a
cheesy comment, but the words were out before he could stop them.
Amelia cupped his face
with both hands and before he realised what was happening she leaned
in and lightly kissed just beneath his eye. She repeated the action,
this time kissing the edge of the bruising on the outer corner of his
eye, and then again just above his eye. When she moved to kiss his
cheek again, Harrison tilted his head up and rather than feeling her lips
against his cheek, they brushed almost imperceptably against his
lips. Their eyes connected and Harrison swallowed nervously, awaiting
her next move, hoping like hell she wouldn't climb off his lap and
leave. He was terrified he had read the situation wrong and had
crossed the line.
Somehow I think he's not out of line on this one...lovely snippet this week :D
