First Kiss Scene

My favorite scenes to write are always the firsts: first look, first touch, first kiss, first everything. In Fated by Fire, Marcus and Jen are no exception:

“Jen slung both her arms around Marcus’ neck and pressed her mouth to his.

He stopped dancing. His hands around her waist gripped firmly onto her hips, and Dylan Kelley’s donated heart contracted in a double thump that physically hurt her chest. Now Dylan’s heart would give out on her, and in this moment, from sheer embarrassment and confusion and self-doubt—what did it say about her that she craved this man—she was okay with the prospect of cardiac arrest.

But then Dr. Marcus Kyle returned her kiss, and her heart didn’t just beat; it soared.”
