This week, my swoon is from Brightly Woven by Alexandra Bracken!
I stood on my toes again, bracing myself against his strong form, and pressed my lips against the smooth skin of his cheek.
"For luck," I explained.
"Thank you," he said.
I waited until he had disappeared completely from the tent before moving. I sat down heavily on the bench, my face in my hands, as anger, love, and fear all fought to rise up inside of me.
The tent flap banged open. I brought my head up, and there was Wayland North.
I was on my feet in an instant, but he had crossed the distance between us in two long strides.
"What-?"
He pulled me to him, grasping my face between his hands. And then he was kissing me, kissing me so deeply, so fiercely that I could feel my toes curling my shoes. The world spun away, and it was just the two of us.

One of my favorite books of all time. I was rereading it this weekend and couldn't resist sharing this scene!
"The world spun away, and it was just the two of us." SO BEAUTIFUL!!
ReplyDeleteAhhh Brightly Woven! I read this book way back in high school (ugh I feel old) and absolutely loved it. I'm still so sad that it wasn't a series, but I'm also kind of glad because what if the sequels weren't as good, you know? :)
