Just One Kiss By Susan Mallery Novels & Stories

“Me?” Nico tried to look for something in her eyes, but he only saw disbelief. “Yes. You. I love you, Madeline.” Noticing that she was still a little airy, Nico got very close to her, cupped her hand on Maddie's face and kissed her, more like the soft brush of lips. First, the kiss was calm, with little contact. But that made Maddie wake up.

MAY My mother was a force of nature. Disappointed wouldn't be the right word to describe the energy she would send my way if she found out her daughter was now homeless, penniless, and married all because I didn't read the fine print. I was cornered but if I had to choose, I would choose to survive a kiss with Edmond any day. I decided I would tell him the task Snuggle had handed me the minute he walked out of the bathroom. But as seconds trickled by, I wasn't finding it that easy to talk myself out into this one. My first kiss was going to be fiction. Something Edmond and I just had to do because it was for the best and not because we wanted to. The fear was clawing at me again, and it was

Soft and demanding. I curled my fingers in his hair and closed my eyes as I felt him deepen the kiss. It was like every nervous part in my body relaxed at his touch. His arm around my waist tightened as he pulled me even more closer. I could almost feel my face burning up but I didn't care. It literally felt like the time had stopped itself. I wish it had. Because just as I felt somebody open the door behind me, I quickly pulled away in shock placing huge distance between us. I looked at the girl standing at the door with a clipboard in her hand.

The kiss was sensual and inviting and I understood what she intend to do. Patrick came to call Susan. So I returned to my room. I had picked up a book from the library but it was a romantic novel. As I read it all I could think about was Alpha William and the familiar ache between my legs began. Susan returned looking a bit baffled. When I asked her why she told me something about a hunter visiting and saying horrible things to her. She didn't elaborate and I just let her be. Whatever he must have said must have cut deep.

The kind that had been buried under years of friendship and loyalty to Cierra. Before I could think, she stepped closer, dropped her mug on the dresser with a soft clink, and kissed me. The kiss was sudden, desperate, full of everything we had both been holding back. Her lips were soft against mine, tasting like hospital coffee and unspoken want. My hands instinctively went to her waist, pulling her closer as the towel around my hips slipped lower. I pulled back in shock, breathing hard. “What are you doing, Mallory?” She stepped back quickly, face burning with embarrassment, “I’m sorry… I don’t know what came over me. I’ll just… I’ll leave.”

"We were barely alone for even five minutes." "So ... what happened?" Marley said, using her shoulder to bump mine like she was desperate for some tea. "Did you two .. kiss again?” Hell, I wish. "Nothing happened ." I said with a straight face. "And honestly, I really don't want to talk about Kingston. The kiss was one time, and that was it. He has a mate." "A mate?" Marley withdrew in shock.

Then there was Maggie—an hour and a half late with her gift wrapped up in a Target sack. "Oh! You must be Myalin," Maggie said excitedly as she entered the kitchen where the rest of us were gathered and talking about our love lives. Maggie rushed over and shook Myalin's hand aggressively, a sweet but overzealous smile plastered on her face. "It's so nice to finally meet you! I'm so glad that our girl has someone like you to keep her company at work. Especially with the love drama—"

I was ready to embrace life’s fullest potential. I tried the first door, only to find it locked tight. I gave the knob a good shake, but it was no use. As I wandered around the room, my steps barely made a sound on the plush rug that covered the polished mahogany floor. Just as I was about to try the next door, I felt a sudden presence behind me. Before I could react, I was spun around and met with a delightful kiss. The surprise of the kiss quickly melted into pure joy, and I found myself savoring the simple, yet electrifying touch of his lips.

It was a kiss that started with an air of formality but quickly deepened into something more. Marianne felt a flutter in her stomach as Felix's lips pressed against hers, gentle yet insistent. His kiss was warm and filled with a quiet intensity that left her momentarily breathless. For a moment, they were caught in a world of their own, despite the guests and the circumstances that had brought them here. As the kiss continued, Marianne's initial resistance gave way to a surprising sense of surrender. She felt herself melting into the moment, letting go of the skepticism and apprehension that had clouded her thoughts.
