And now for today's Sunday Smooch from Rescuing Dawn by Nicole Flockton........
Dawn Granger has loved and lost and it’s a road
she’s not prepared to travel again, that is until her
Andrew Holmes has sailed the globe numerous
times, when he almost loses his life, he decides he needs to give something
back so he returns home and trains as a paramedic. When he runs into his former
sweetheart he is surprised to find an attraction he thought dead come to
life. When he sees the sadness in Dawn he knows he will do anything to
make her smile again.
Dawn tries to resist Andrew but their past pulls
at her in ways she thought long dead. Can she trust a man who's run out on her once
before? Can she risk putting her heart on the line again? Or will it all be
taken from her again.
Scene set-up: [Dawn and Andrew are out having a coffee date – their first ‘date’ in ten years. Ever since Andrew saw Dawn in the ER again, he’s been pestering her to meet him. She’s finally given in and agreed to met him. They’re getting ready to leave and Andrew is trying to convince Dawn to see him again]
Kiss Scene
“I don’t know.” Fatigue hit her and
she knew she had to get home soon, otherwise she’d be falling asleep in her car
and that wouldn't be good at all. “I just don’t know. I can’t think straight
when I’m tired.”
“Fair enough.” He looked at his watch
and grimaced. “It’s getting late, if you could call nearly eight-thirty in the
morning late. I'm sure from all that you've told me, being awake at this time
isn’t normal for you. I’d offer to drive you home, but I need to be at the
station in five minutes.” He gulped down the rest of his drink and slid along
the bench seat.
Following suit, Dawn gathered up her
handbag. “Thanks for the hot chocolate and Danish.”
Andrew grabbed her hand and helped her
as she slipped out of the booth. “Believe me, the pleasure is all mine.” She
had to stop the shiver that threatened to overtake her body when he tucked a
finger under her chin and lifted it. She looked deep into his eyes, almost
drowning in the sea of blue radiating towards her, like an incoming tide.
“Promise me you’ll think about what I said, about getting to know you again.”
Speech was impossible at that moment
so she just nodded.
Andrew grinned a little wider and
cheekier. “Perhaps this will help the decision along.”
Dawn was frozen to the spot as she
knew what was about to happen. He lowered his head and as his lips touched hers
softly her eyes drifted shut. She sighed, opening her mouth a fraction to give
his lips better access to hers. Her skin tingled and warmth started to fill the
places that had been cold for so long. She gripped her handbag a little
tighter. She wanted to wrap her arms around him, deepen the kiss.
But as quickly as it started, the kiss
was over and Andrew was stepping away, taking the warmth she wanted so
desperately with him.
As she opened her
eyes she became aware of where they were, in the middle of a busy café.
Fortunately no one seemed to have noticed the kiss they’d shared, unless they
were being polite. Andrew took a firmer hold of her hand and led her towards
the exit. She forced one foot in front of the other and eventually her body’s
instinct took over and she was able to leave the café without crumbling in a
heap on the ground.
Nicole is giving away an eCopy of Rescuing Dawn to one commenter who answers this question - Have you ever had someone pester you to go on a date?
Come back next Sunday, when the winner of today's giveaway will be announced -- and a smooch from How To Resist A Heartbreaker by Louisa George will be posted!
Hi Nicole
ReplyDeleteLoved that smooch :)
I must have been too easy when I was younger LOL I can't ever remember being pstered for a date I was always happy to go :)
Have Fun
Helen
Hi Nicole, fantastic smooch! It also brings back memories because I know why Dawn works at night till she's exhausted. Don't put me in the draw because I'm fortunate enough to have read Rescuing Dawn and I'd love for someone else to be able to read it :) Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteI've certainly never had someone pester me as "nicely" as Andrew pesters Dawn. And I have to say that I think a hot chocolate, a danish and a kiss is the perfect breakfast. ;-) Lovely smooch, Nikki!
ReplyDeleteWhen I was much younger, I was pestered for a date. He was a nice guy, but not my type and no connection. I went out for pizza with him to explain we were only going to be friends.
ReplyDeleteI'm with Michelle - hot chocolate, a kiss and a Danish doesn't sound like pestering to me. What a guy! Thanks for sharing, Nikki.
ReplyDeleteScorching hot smooch from Rescuing Dawn! Congratulations on the release and thanks for sharing Nicole!

Welcome to the LoveCats, Nicole!
ReplyDeleteYou know, after reading your smooch I have a yearning for hot chocolate and Danish. I might just ask my significant other if he'd like to go on a date to a cafe this week... :)
I forgot to answer the question... I've had Vin Diesel pester me about a date but you know... I've been really busy and all so I've said I'll get my people to call his people ;)
ReplyDeleteMorning Helen, Tash, Michelle, Tammy, Annie, Nas, Rachel! Sorry I missed you yesterday, Saturday night here and Sunday morning now :).
ReplyDeleteI'm laughing at everyone wanting a Danish and Hot Chocolate after reading the smooch. I had my niece send me a text saying she was craving for a hot chocolate after reading that part. LOL
LOL Tammy that was nice of you to go and explain why you wouldn't be able to see each other.
Tash oh to have that problem ;-)
Nice scene
