This week, my swoon is from Venom by Fiona Paul - which I am reading for the Venom Readalong!
The swoon:
She pressed her lips to his, surprised by her own bravery, emboldened by the way his body responded to hers. They fell back deeper into the boat, its creaky wooden sides offering privacy in the already dark night. He kissed her harder, his tongue exploring her lips and mouth in circles. The small boat rocked underneath her, swaying with the gentle current of the canal. The wweight of his chest pressed down on her ribcage, her hipbones pressed against his, even through the many layers of garments she wore.
- ARC, pages 238-239
I'M STOPPING THERE BECAUSE I'M NOT TELLING WHO THAT WAS! Unless you've already read the book, and then you know ;)
