Friday First Kiss #2 :: Setting Him Free by Alexandra Marell

Welcome Friday First Kisses. If you're anything like me, when I crack open a new book, I rush through the beginning, the budding relationship between the hero and heroine, and anticipate that spontaneous moment when they make their move. The First Kiss. The first turning point in every story.




I'll be sharing those moments here on the blog every Friday and I've invited a few other authors to share their character's first kisses as well. It will be a love-fest on the blog every week so lets get started!




This week's First Kiss is from the book Setting Him Free by Alexandra Marell.

“Why didn't you let me kiss you just now, Taylor?”  

His eyes narrowed. “Danielle...”  

“Was it because you thought I'd regret it once I found out about you?”  

“I suppose so.” He picked up the drink can again and stared at it. “How would you have felt knowing you'd kissed a killer?”  

“I won't know until I try it.”  

He snapped his head up. “Danielle, what are you saying?”  

“I'm saying that if I have nothing to fear from you, then you can kiss me right? You didn't kill your wife so prove it to me. You don't like killing any more? Show me. Make me know I won't have anything to regret.”  

Insane logic for an insane situation. Trapped in the middle of nowhere with a killer and feeling no fear? She bit back the hysterical laugh. 

I'm doing this for him. To show I trust him.  

Hell, who am I kidding? Everything about him called to her in a way she'd never experienced before. Her insides were still tingling with the anticipation of the nearly-kiss. Her emotions in a tailspin. If he didn't make a move soon she'd explode.  

She knelt up, and pushed the tray out of the way. “Well?” Her knees trembled slightly. What would this really prove other than that they were both horny as hell?  

When he made his decision and dipped his head towards hers, Danielle closed her eyes and grabbed his tee-shirt, to steady herself as well as to anchor him in place. He seemed to be hovering on the edge of something. His slight hesitation made her tighten her grip, silently willing him on.  

Surprisingly, nothing like she expected. Instead of a dam-breaking, passionate torrent of a kiss, he gave her the sweetest, most heartbreaking kiss she'd ever experienced. A brief touch of his lips on hers, and the question “Do you trust me?” whispered so quietly against her cheek she thought she'd dreamed it. And when he sat back, and she opened her eyes, he looked drained. Like a man who had nothing left to give and for whom nothing mattered, except the answer to his question.
