Saturday Snippet: His Kiss Captivated Her





















The following snippet is taken from 
Hannah's Handkerchief 
Book 24 in the series 
Lockets & Lace 

          Hannah had noted the differences in the various male lips she had kissed that night. Some were hard, stiff, almost as if reluctant or shy. Others were damp and mushy. Many kisses were quite pleasant, far better than the kisses from the inexperienced Salina boys she had kissed.
          A few times early on she had shuddered as she watched a man standing before her lick his lips as he prepared for the kiss. The husband of the chaperone pair each time had ordered the man, on pain of spending the rest of the night in the stockade if he didn’t, to wipe his face with a clean handkerchief first. The word must have spread back through the line, for after the third attempt, no one tried for a slobbery kiss.
          However, when Hannah’s lips met those of Jake Burdock’s she immediately recognized his kiss differed from all the others. The warmth and tenderness of his kiss captivated her like none other that evening. She closed her eyes in order to focus on the sensation, continuing to lean forward in order to delay the end of the kiss. Her female chaperone cleared her throat. Hannah recognized it as a gentle prompt to end the kiss.
