Sexual Chemistry

“Is there something between us, Brooke?” His voice husky, his control nearly at the breaking point.

She gazed at him with those warm chocolate eyes. “I think so.”

He took a step closer and tilted her face upward to meet his gaze. “What would you call this?”

“Chemistry?” she answered in a wavering voice.

He leaned closer and began to lightly kiss her face. “Chemistry,” he repeated in a whisper against her skin.

“Sexual chemistry.” She eased into him, her hands sliding along his abdomen and chest.

He soothed her hesitance with each pass of his lips along her jaw and neck. He wrapped his arms about her and breathed in the citrus scent that he’d forever associate with her. At her ear he softly said, “I think we need to explore this sexual chemistry further.”

With the light nibble of her ear lobe, she snaked her arms about his shoulders and clung to him, her nails scraping his skin through the fabric of his shirt.

Then she breathlessly whispered, “Yes, I definitely think we should.”

Ever been struck speechless and completely blindsided by someone? What is it that draws you to a person on a level beyond the physical features? Chemistry.

I am reading about attraction and chemistry for, ya know, research. Yeah. Research. No, seriously, chemistry is what makes a good romance a heart pounding page turner. In my reading I found an interesting article on chemistry, and I reposted it on the The Writer Chicks. Go check it out.

The above is from a first kiss scene I worked on this past weekend. Not too shabby IMHO. My H&H have chemistry. *fanning self*
