Pucker Up: The Multifandom Mini Challenge
The rules are simple:
Write a kissing scene you feel good about.
Any fandom, any characters, or original fiction.

Post a link to your scene in the official challenge post I'll make on November 22.
Also, please feel free to pimp!
I'm going to post kissing scenes from published works that I especially like to set the mood. The first one, ironically enough, takes place when the couple are on their way for a date at a cavern:
"Pinky shifted the car into park, but left the engine running. "I want to kiss you now, before we get in the cave and I lose complete control." He turned toward her, and suddenly his body, jacketed and huge, appeared suspended above her, hovering, as she sank back against the car door. He closed his eyes and kissed her, long and slow, and she left her sunglasses on so she could keep her eyes open and watch, see how his lashes closed on one another like petals, how his scar zoomed quiet and white about his cheek and chin, how his lips pushed sleepily against her own to find a nest in hers and to stay there, moving, as if in words, but then not in words at all, his hands going round her in a soft rustle, up the back of her sweater to her bare waist and spine, and spreading there, blooming large and holding her just briefly until he pulled away, gathered himself back to himself, and quietly shifted the car into drive."
