Girl with brown hair and white top.

Girl with brown hair and white top.

       “Hey.” Lainey wipes a tear from my eye. “Please stop crying.” She doesn’t scold me. She’s gentle about it, brushing hair from my face, planting soft little kisses underneath my eyes. 
     I shake my head, still huffing and puffing. It’s pathetic but I can’t stop. It feels like I’ve left my own body. Like I can’t control it.  “I….I can’t. It hurts too much.”
    Lainey brushes a hand down my arm.  “Let me make it stop hurting then.” She smiles softly, like she’s waiting for confirmation. I nod, so she pulls me in, our lips meeting again. 
      The kiss is hot, full of warm lips, tangling tongues, and flushed skin. My palms feel the warmth of Lainey’s face when I cup it. We kiss until my head spins. I try to focus on the dizziness, hoping it will make me forget about redacted, but it doesn’t work. Redacted is dead and here Lainey and I are, just kissing. But I keep going, hoping the world will eventually stop. 
        My hands grip Lainey’s sweater because if I don’t do something with them I’ll punch a window or rip my hair out or worse. I try to focus on Lainey and the sensation of our mouths moving together, of her hands on my waist, grounding me.  
     The kiss heats up until she’s laying me on my back, her lips trailing down my neck. I sigh into it, tangling my hands in her curls. I feel her grin against my skin. 
   Then I feel something else. Hot, wet tears, dripping onto my neck. When she kisses me again her mouth tastes like salt. 
     Lainey shakes her head, tears streaming down her cheeks as she pulls away from me. “It still hurts,” she chokes out, wiping her tears on her sleeve, which is useless since they keep coming. “I thought this would make it stop but it still hurts.”
      “I know.” I’m crying just as hard as she is now, so hard my chest aches. “I feel it too. I know.

I’m doing a thing! Join me tomorrow and share a #FridayFling snippet from your WIP or published work. :)

We’re staring off with a CRASH.

This is 1000% inspired by (but unrelated to!) #FridayKiss. Will I keep going next week? We’ll see! 😂

I’m trying to decide if I want to try to organize something similar to #FridayKiss because it might motivate me to actually market my books, lol. And I miss seeing everyone else’s snippets.

And I’m procrastinating on the ten other things I should be doing. 😅

Textured pinkish background with a white floral border at the top. White text reads: “At last, feeling like he had to say something, he whispered, ‘It would not be terrible to be married to you.’
Emma did not answer. Perhaps she had not heard him? A suspicion suddenly struck him. To confirm it, he reached down to lift her chin up slightly so that he could see her face. Yes, she had fallen asleep on his lap, like an overtired child.
The proper thing to do would be to wake her. If she were found here, asleep in his arms—he did not want even to imagine the furor that would result.” Below and to the left of the main text, smaller italicized white letters read “The Solitary Rose.”

Light beige background. A dark brown border with vintage flourishes at the corners frames the text in the center. Dark brown text reads: “First, Lady Valance is a human being with free will, not a prize to be traded between noblemen. Second, the lady has made it abundantly clear that she prefers my company to yours. And thirdly, she is my wife. You will touch her over my cold, dead body.” 
“That can be arranged.” Belmont spoke softly, but his cold blue eyes remained locked with Valance’s. 
“Oh, can it?” Valance took a step closer to Belmont. Before he could say anything further, a black-and-gold blur detached itself from the hearthrug and launched itself at Belmont, barking furiously. Bishop Barkley had taken offense at His Grace’s threat.

Happy Friday, #Romancelandia! Today I'm sharing a "She is my wife!" passage from TWELFTH NIGHT SORCERY to celebrate #FridayKiss.

Tall rectangle with dark background; there are golden vintage-looking brackets in all corners. At the bottom of the square is a small graphic of a classic white-sheet-type ghost. Above the ghost, pale gold text reads: He chuckled, too. “And yet a good deal has changed since our first meeting. For example, I am now almost completely convinced that you are not a ghost.”
She laughed harder. “Only almost convinced? What would it take to convince you entirely?” 
Devlin put his mouth to her ear and whispered, “I have a few suggestions, but I think we might start with a kiss.”

Background contains different shades of gray. At the top, cursive text reads “FridayKiss.” Below that, smaller print reads: “The grief in her face wrung Valance’s heart, and without thinking, he leaned down to kiss her on the forehead. ‘You have a home here now,’ he reminded her. 
She rested her head against him for a too-brief moment before shifting away and smiling that cheerless smile that made his heart ache.” Below that is the italicized line “-Twelfth Night Sorcery.”

Pale pink square. Line drawings of roses, in a darker pink color, decorate the upper left and lower right corners. Simple rose-colored lines frame dark pink text that reads: “He tipped her chin up and kissed her forehead, then her eyelids, and finally her mouth. Each kiss was like a drop of sweetness counteracting the bitterness of last night’s quarrel. She kissed him back on his chin, his cheek, and his mouth, feeling as if a little more warmth seeped into her bones with each touch.”

“I’m not an artist. I just sell lifestyles and dreams to people who wish they were.” There was defiance in her hazel eyes as she tipped her mouth toward him. He gave her a wicked grin.
“What a coincidence. So do I.”
“Are you going to continue to yap or are you going to kiss me?”

Hello, #WritingCommunity! Do you remember when folks used to post #FridayKiss snippets on the bird app? I'd like to see if we can informally revive that weekly ritual. No prompts; just post a romantic, steamy, or tender moment from your WIP!

Tall rectangle with dark background; there are golden vintage-looking brackets in all corners. At the top is a small graphic of a classic white-sheet-type ghost. Below the ghost, Pale gold text reads: “When her thumb brushed against his lower lip, she froze. His mouth was soft and warm and, as he pulled another of his trademark crooked smiles, deliciously mobile. 
He caught her hand and planted a kiss on the palm. When he moved his mouth to the delicate skin of her wrist, Lucy’s head spun. 
I am dead, she thought. I am dead and this is the afterlife. Heaven? Hell? She had no idea. She only knew that she wanted this —whatever it was—to continue.”

Romance authors: are you interested in reviving the weekly #FridayKiss postings? There are no official Friday Kiss prompts anymore, but we could all agree to share romantic or steamy moments from our work every Friday. #romancelandia

Been too busy lately, and maybe too shy, but now #FridayKiss has given way to #FridaySpark and I am here for today’s word, SCENT!

The background is a detail from a painting in the public domain, from the Met Open Access site, but I’ve lost track of the citation…

My gaze snags on those two undone buttons at the top of his shirt, and the peek of chest hair they tease. It TRAVELS up the column of his throat, where his pulse jumps beneath his skin. Over the ginger scruff and parted lips; the uneven teeth and rugged skin I once deemed imperfect. All the way up, until I capture his inky-black pupils with my own.
