In writing, it’s important to show, not tell. I’m practicing showing. I hope you enjoy.
A casual moment. You catch each other’s eyes, hold them just a moment too long. The air around you sizzles with electricity. Quick inhale in a nearly inaudible gasp. Lashes cast quick shadows on suddenly hot cheeks as you steal a glance at the other’s mouth before your gaze returns to their eyes. The question hovers there, unspoken: May I kiss you?
You move toward each other. One asks the question on a soft exhale: “May I kiss you?”
“Yes,” the other breathes the answer into your mouth before breaths mingle and lips touch for the first time.
It’s heady and exciting. Electricity arcs between you and courses through your veins, making your fingertips tingle where they touch the back of the other’s neck. Your blood flows heavy and languid as you sink into the kiss, savoring this first taste of the other.
