Have you ever read a hot sexy scene and thought... "Holy cow... how did they write that?" Well I have . . . and this week I wrote my first "encounter" it was hot, it was sexy, it was . . . odd? Picture this . . . I'm sitting on the couch trying not to pay attention to America's Got Talent on the TV while simultaneously trying to write the "perfect kiss". Well what's a perfect kiss? What if my perfect kiss is different than your perfect kiss? What if I find something sexy, but the reader doesn't. What if I screw it up? This is Harley and Tyson's first kiss... I need it to be perfect! Now lets be honest... I haven't had a "first kiss" in 16 years... that's a damn long time... how the hell am I suppose to remember what I was feeling when my husband, then boyfriend kissed me for the first time? I'm not sure how other authors go about writing these scenes, but here's what I did.


Me: *puts down computer and snuggles up to hubby on the chair* "Honey . . . I need you to kiss me."
Hubby: *smiles* "Okay . . . "
Me: "But it can't be just any kiss, it has to be our first kiss, it has to be a perfect kiss."
Hubby: *stares* "Honey, we've been together for sixteen years. I was sixteen when I kissed you the first time."
Me: "Yeah babe, I know, but I need you to do it again. Come on, this could be fun! Make me hot babe!"
Hubby: *mischievous grin-- Grips my neck gently in his hands, his thumbs lightly grazing my jaw, face slowly descends...
Me: "Stop! I've gotta go write this down!" *jumps up and runs over to laptop, types furiously as husband stares* "Okay babe, got it!"
Hubby: "That's it? We're done? I didn't even kiss you!"
Me: "You didn't have to baby, you're that good!"
Hubby: *smiles to himself*


Hah! It might not have been the most traditional way to spark my writing mind, but I'm in madly in love with my husband and he still gives me goose bumps and he still makes the hair on my neck stand up when he does *that special thing*.
