Hey gang. I'm back for day 2 of #ChickLitLove. So much fun! Today we're all sharing a romantic excerpt from our stories. Sticking with FALLING FOR HER SOLDIER, I'm going with the aftermath of Charlie & Ellie's first kiss...which, of course, leads to another kiss. Because kisses are the best.
Here we find Ellie trying to teach Charlie how to do the tango. They had a slight detour.
Maybe he’d get
lucky…maybe that kiss had been as insanely mind-blowing for her as it had been
for him. He’d kissed a lot of women, but not one had ever made him feel like
that, hungry and helpless and spinning out of his mind.
He hadn’t meant
to back her into the wall like an animal, but he was afraid if he didn’t have
help keeping them upright, he would end up pulling them both to the floor. A few
months ago, he would have done that without a second thought, but not now, not
with Ellie. That was a Hunter move, and the hunter was dead....
Without thinking, he leaned
down and kissed her, slowly, loving the way her lips parted immediately,
trembling under his. He’d never made a woman’s lips tremble from just a kiss before.
Or maybe his were the ones trembling; he couldn’t be sure. He held her face between
his hands, combing his fingers into her hair. Then slowly, regretfully, he let
go.
She was
breathing hard, her eyes closed. “Anyway,” she said after a shaky inhale.
“Sorry. You were
about to say something.”
“No, no.” She nodded.
“It’s okay…that was okay.”
