Your Clueless Valentine

Happy (early) Valentine’s Day! First word that pops into your head?

Love…chocolate…kiss…diamonds…red? With me the word is romance with a capital R. Romance drives me and I can’t get enough. I need help explaining the word to the male gender. I’m not saying all men fall short on the romance-understanding scale, but I’ve found most don’t get the difference between sex and romance.

A “clueless male” excerpt from Sleeping with the Lights On:

Wesley appeared behind me, arms encircling my waist while planting an open, mouth-sucking kiss on my neck. “Mmmm, you smell better than the food.”

Food? Really?

First, tell me the first word that popped into your head, and then give me your take on explaining my word – Romance – to a clueless male.

First Kiss

FIRST KISS. Mmm…just the thought of it makes your thighs clench tight. He’s the one you’ll never forget. What if he was your first husband, the one who rocked your world, the one you’re still not over? In Sleeping with the Lights On, Sandra is confronted with him eighteen years later, and he’s looking better than ever in his black cowboy hat, dripping his Texas drawl all over her. This Las Vegas country crooner is up to something and she should beware, but she can’t resist that first kiss eighteen years later.

His fingers stilled, grasping my legs so the tips edged under the hem of my skirt. He brought his face so close I tasted his breath on my lips, sweet and wine soaked. I breathed in, intoxicated. “Carson what…”

He brushed his lips across mine lightly in a whisper “You, Sandra.”

I felt the words against my mouth more than I heard them. Our foreheads came together. The world beyond our touch had become so quiet I could hear the blood pulsing in my breast; could touch his warmth pressed against mine. My lips parted as the kiss became a gentle passion, inviting me to relish the moment of tempered desire, a brief taste, all the more covetous.

Do you have a first kiss, that’s not exactly a FIRST, but none the less memorable?
