"From the earliest times mistletoe has been one of the most magical, mysterious, and sacred plants of European folklore. It was considered to bestow life and fertility; a protection against poison; and to be used an aphrodisiac."
"Why?" He's barely whispering. His hands finds my face, his fingertips barely skim my forehead, the tops of my ears, the hollows of my cheeks. Everywhere he touches is fire. My whole body is burning up, the two of us becoming twin points of the same bright white flame. "Why are you afraid?"
"You have to understand. I just want to be happy." I can barely get the words out. My mind is a haze, full of smoke--nothing exists but his fingers dancing and skating over my skin, through my hair.
I wish it would stop. I want it to go on forever.
Leave it to me to do a whole post on what else? KISSING! *wink*

As much as I hate to read kissing ... I wrote some into my book. It was necessary.
As you know, I love writing the teasing kiss. The one that frustrates the reader, but hints of something bigger to come. :)
I think the build-up is lots of fun too. I also think kissing is fun beyond the book. lol
I’m so proud of you, Matt!! *pats back* ^_^
That final line you quoted from Delirium is probably one of my most favorite in the whole book. It captures the entire premise--the entire conflict--in two simple sentences.
Ah, to be a teenager in love again... so completely out of your mind with the wonderfulness of it.
I love the tease and the kiss. I'm finally a fan of the build up. I love writing them. *sigh*
I like that last line from Delirium. It captures so much with the mere suggestion of feeling.
Good advice. I will.

I bet that is a challenge for some writers. I would need to youtube a car explosion or something just to make sure I was still balanced.
I like both for sure, but the build up (even before they start touching) is what makes the kiss scene worth it. The tension should be so palpable by that scene that we're all shouting "just kiss already!" Or maybe that's just me.
Slamdunk--LOL!!!!
Kissing scenes are the most fun scenes to read and write (and watch on screen!).
Absolutely loved Delirium and that scene. This post has me grinning.
ah the kiss *sigh*
loved this and the pics and the quote. Those last lines ARE killer.
I told my teenager, if her guy friend came to school wearing mistletoe over his head to stir clear. HAHAHAHA.
