I took a step closer until I forced him to meet my eyes and flipped my hair back. “I asked different how? What is different now from then?”
“You…me.” He still couldn’t find words. His eyes bore deep into mine so deep I thought I was going to melt there on the spot. He brought his hand up and stroked it through my hair resting it on my cheek. “This.”
That’s when it happened. That’s when he kissed me. Before I had a chance to retreat, his other hand slipped up around my waist pulling me closer and the hand that once rested upon my cheek was now cradling the back of my neck, sending tingling sensations down my spine.
His lips searched mine. My lips were just as urgent as his. I slid my arms up around his neck and tangled my hands in the back tendrils of his hair pulling him to me. When he pulled away, he was breathing heavily. His eyes searching mine for approval, I felt her legs shaking a little.
“I’m sorry if that was out of line. I…I” Carter started.
“It was perfect.” I cut him off before he apologized for the best thing that ever happened to me.
“So you wouldn’t mind if I did it again?” He swallowed hard looking nervous.
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!

I love Carter's voice in his last line of dialogue, I'm pretty sure no girl would turn down another kiss like that. I also love the line where your MC "cut him off before he apologized for the best thing that ever happened to [her]". This is aother really great scene.
- Sophia.
Ooh very passionate.
I notice that you change POV a couple of times which is just a little distracting.
Great piece though :O)
Nice! I always love the first kiss :)
Oh, yeah! Definitely kiss her again. :D
Loved it!
I love the "so you wouldn't mind if I did it again?"
great scene!
Like I mentioned in my blog... I FORGOT THEIR FIRST KISS! I still can't believe I did that.... Great sample though! Happy Valentines Day!
More kissing! YES!!!!
You did a great job here. I love the name Carter (one of my characters has that name too!)
This was a nice Valentine's day post. And hello (fellow crusader checking in)
That was very sweet. The stammering was a nice touch.

Carter is cute - swallowed hard looking nervous too. A great kiss.
Hi fellow Crusader! There was nice tension in this scene, I could picture every second of it. Well done!
Kiss again! Kiss again! Kiss again! He he he. *fans self*
The dialogue is fantastic. I love "so you wouldn't mind if I did it again?" Awesome, possum.
Hello fellow crusader...I really enjoyed reading this...so great....
Hi Regina

... and thanks for the follow - it's great to have you on board!

Such a great time to be out on my Crusade rounds. Kisses are flying thick and fast. Love it!
Nice to meet you Regina. I'm a new follower.

AW! I could just sense the tension in this! Great scene.
Yeah for kissing. Very nice piece. I'm a fellow crusader in your group. Hi. I'll be back to check out more posts.
I like the passion that went on between them. Carter seems very adorable.
Just a quick mention, you have "I felt her legs shaking a little". But, anyway, awesome nonetheless!
Also, I'm in your crusade group! :) Hello fellow crusader.
I enjoyed your entry! I'm a fellow crusader, making the rounds and saying hello. Happy Thursday. New follower :)
Nice. There is something about the first kiss.
I'm a fellow YA group crusader and thought I'd stop in to say hi. I'm a follower now. :)
The "Just kiss Blogfest" looked like the perfect way to celebrate the day! Nice to meet you fellow crusader!
Cool idea for a blogfest. I like the line...His lips searched mine. Good stuff!
Thanks for stopping by my blog. I'll be back for sure.
Hey there - I just joined group 10 in the crusade. I'm looking forward to many more visits to your blog!
I was just curious. Why do you have a content warning on your blog. The posts I looked at seemed pretty tame.
And I say go ahead and sign up for A to Z. You can do it--especially if you're doing the Crusade anyway. The two go hand in hand.

Dreamy, dreamy, dreamy, if he doesn't kiss her again, she should grab him and kiss him! Smooches, lol! Loved it.
Everyone loves a good kiss! Thanks for sharing!

I hope life is treating you well.
