Christine Rains and Cecilia Roberts decided to do a blog hop and contest of kissing scenes in no more than
250 words. Now, I’m not a romance writer, but what’s a story without some kind
of love aspect? A subplot of my work in progress has to deal with a gay
Christian. Here’s the 249-word scene from Anticipating Dawn:
Not letting go, Gent held onto Harrison’s hand, longing to remember the
rough ridges of his palm and the smooth and pronounced veins and tendons on the
back of his hand. “I had a great time tonight…. Your roommates are cool.” From
the outer hallway, he stared passed Harrison into the apartment.
“Yes, they are. But I was glad when they left.” Harrison let go of
Gent’s hand.
Gent immediately felt chilly. He looked up to Harrison and said,
“Me too.”
The door opened wider and Harrison stepped out into the hallway. He
slipped his arms through Gent’s, wrapped them around his waist and held him
close. Slowly, he slid his cheek against Gent’s and gave him a slight kiss.
“I think that kiss was fine,” Harrison whispered. He pulled his head
back, brushing his cheek against Gent’s and found Gent’s lips. He pressed
softly at first, and harder when lips parted and tongues met.
They released and backed away, hands holding.
“Harrison…” Gent felt flushed and could say no more.
“I’m sorry. Kind of.” Looking into his eyes, Harrison added, “I’m
falling so in love with you, but I won’t do that again. I did not get an okay
from God for that.” He smiled and refrained himself from holding Gent close
again. He was glad that Gent was also smiling.
“Neither did I,” Gent said, and turned to leave,
his heart drumming in his ears and his tongue lingering on the taste and feel
of Harrison’s mouth.

ReplyDeleteLove, love, love that!!!
I'm glad you do Huntress. I actually wasn't too sure about that line. :)
DeleteA very loving scene.

Thanks Summer! Glad you thought so.
DeleteWow, what a great scene. Love it.
ReplyDelete:) Me happy!
DeleteI think you produced a beautiful love / kissing scene (for not being a romance writer). Funny how most all books do have a love element, although not the main storyline, most authors do write about relationships. This was so well done! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteThank you Yolanda. That makes me feel great you think that!
DeleteWhat a sweet and beautiful scene! Definitely makes me want to know more :)
ReplyDeleteCool! It's the sequel to my first book. :)
DeleteWonderfully written. It's sweet and emotional. You did an excellent job and you're not a romance writer? Oh, I think you might be. :) Thank you for participating in the blogfest.
ReplyDeleteGlad to be a part of it. I think we can all write some in just about every genre. :)
DeleteGent and Harrison. To be continued?
ReplyDeleteRight then, before I go....Arggghhhhh!!! blogfests! Sorry, however I feel better now! LOL
Gary :)
That's okay, let it out! :)
DeleteGent and Harrison are so cute, I love them! I can't wait to get the the end of their story. I know the last line of the book because of them, even though there's a lot of in between I don't yet know.
Very emotional and loving. Great combo. Like the inclusion of God's will.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear that. Didn't know if it would the idea of God's will would come across without knowing the previous parts. :)
DeleteInteresting. But Harrison, sweetie, I think you need to slow down there.
ReplyDeleteLol! You know how men are!
DeleteThis was so sweet and already you have me hoping everything turns out well for Gent and Harrison. I'm a sucker for happy endings. (:
ReplyDeleteAren't we all in truth?
DeleteGreat snippet Nancy!
ReplyDeleteI've never written a romance scene. Maybe I should sign up for this blogfest, and give it a shot. I still have a few days left. Gotta try sometime.

Deletethat is such a sweet and sensual scene and a very brave topic!
ReplyDeleteThanks SJ, I appreciate that!
DeleteThis was well done and quite sensual.
ReplyDeleteGlad you thought so. :) Looking forward to your post tomorrow!
DeleteQuite a conflict for those two and nicely presented.
ReplyDeleteThanks! :)
DeleteThis post is the first m/m kiss I've read in the fest. You did the conflicted delight of the kiss quite well.
ReplyDeleteI think it'll be the only one at all. I'm glad the emotion and conflict came through.
DeleteAww, their hesitation tugged at my heartstrings. I hope everything works out for them.
ReplyDeleteGuess I'll find out eventually, when it's all written. :)
DeleteGreat job, Nancy!
