A NO KISS Blogfest! Really!!
No Kidding, this is so cool I just had to join in. Truly, I just found out about it, and am a bit late to the party, but I thought it was such an amazing thing to do for the beginning of the new year that I decided to share a No Kiss scene from one of The Quantum Portal stories, Knight Medieval. Actually this could be called an *Almost* kiss!
A No Kiss Scene from:
Knight Medieval
“Tell me how you have come to be in my bedchamber?” His grip tightened around her arms and his eyes narrowed on her. Bryan wanted to kiss her, wanted to ravish her lovely body as he had before.
Alisa twisted from his grasp. “What will you do?” She questioned. “Lock me away in some dark dungeon to keep me here?” She laughed quietly. “I’ve spent much time in dank places exploring beneath these walls. Where I come from, your castle is nothing but a ruin.” She shook her head dragging in air. “Would that I could tell you, Bryan and have you believe me, but the truth is I do not know. One minute I’m here, and the next, I’m back in my own time without you.”
She shivered against him as his tongue slid inside the crevice of her ear. “You have no idea... how much ...I missed... how hard... I’ve... tried to... get to you.” She reached out and stroked his face with the tips of her fingers. Leaning her head back, she stared into his eyes, seeming to search inside him, as if she could see his very soul.
Her splendid lips beckoned to him. He lost his own breath as his mouth hovered just inches above hers, their lips so close, almost grazing. He could feel the warmth of her succulent breath so near, so sweet he could taste her.
Yet he must stop this. She bewitched him ever further than before. He grasped onto her shoulders, holding her away from him. Bryan glared at the beauty that was she, her lips still puffed and sweet from their almost rapturous kiss.
Not long ago, she had appeared to him as if in a dream, half-naked and shivering. Yet she was no dream. She claimed to have come from another time and place. A ridiculous tale. One that caused him to think she was in league with Wyver, the bumbling wizard. Or worse.
Then of a sudden without warning, she left him. Disappeared in the mid of night like a runaway harlot. Or a witch. He had searched for her, even engaged the help of a seer. But found her not.
And now she stood before him once again…

Love the excerpt! This is so cool. :)
Ooh! Great scene!
OMG I loved this! I'm such a sucker for these kinds of romances and that scene was hot hot hot! So glad you participated:-)
Thank you Amber!
Larissa -- thanks to you too!
Frankie - I love this kind of romance too! Thanks for holding the No Kiss blogfest!
Nice excerpt. Looking forward to your new series!
If a kiss was in there it'd explode from the screen. Great excerpt. :)
ooh, is she actually from another time and place? Intriguing...
Melisse - I'm having great fun with this series!
Suzanne - Thank you! I was hoping that came through.
Sarah - yes, Alisa is a present day archaeologist who discovers a temporal rift devise that transports her to Bryan's time.
LOOOVE it! Nice excerpt Kaye.
I know this is a no kiss scene, but I just kept waiting for it to happen. That is great build-up, Kaye! Well done! :)
AR - thank you!
Jessica - That's just what I was trying to do! Thanks!
What a tease. The near-kiss leaves us wanting more.
Nice tension, but I found the sudden turn-around at the end a little fast. If he had been slowing himself down/questioning himself a little more earlier in the scene, OR if she did/said something to startle him out of it a bit... I think that would have worked a little better for me.
Fun! And fun blog idea!
Allie - Well there is much more! Thanks.
Monkey - thanks for stopping by.
Pauline - it was a fun blog idea!
Pretty sensual, for a 'non-kissing' scene. ;)
I really like this excerpt. It leaves the reader wanting more in my opinion!
