RACHEL: Here is my short and sweet favorite snippet (yes, I'm actually going to follow the official rules kinda lol) from The Thing About the Truth by Lauren Barnholdt:

I shiver again, and he pulls me closer, and now his lips really are right there, and I'm just about to go crazy from wanting him to kiss me when he finally does.

TARA: Still swooning over SWEET EVIL by Wendy Higgins

First the Twitter version: 

"Now would be the time to stop me, luv. You're about to be undressed, and trust me when I say it will be too late after that."

Now the Extended Bloggy Version: 

He kissed down my upper body to my belly button, keeping his hands under my back, concentrating on my skin. I was gasping for short breaths now, unable to control myself as his lips burned a trail down tot the edge of my shorts. He flicked open the button and licked the sensitive skin there. I gasped, and he made a masculine growling sound at me before he spoke.

"Now would be the time to stop me, luv. You're about to be undressed, and trust me when I say it will be too late after that."

KELLY: Swooning over Blackwood by Gwenda Bond: :

His lips moved down to suck on my neck, and I bit down on my lip, rolling my head to the side. When he moved back to my mouth, it was as if I'd died and gone to heaven. Now that I'd kissed him once, I wanted to kiss him forever.

NEREYDA: Swooning over Sovereign Hope by Frankie Rose:

He moved his hands to her waist and pulled her to him, somehow finding his way under her t-shirt.  His hands rested lightly onto her bare skin above her hipbones, making her shiver.  She wrapped her hands around the back of his neck, feeling his heartbeat there too, burying her fingers into his hair.  He let out a low moan, his breathing turning ragged against her lips.

TRISH: Swooning over Strands of Bronze and Gold by Jane Nickerson :

He jerked me toward a pile of mildew-splotched crimson velvet cushions surrounding the fountain and pushed me down. He grasped my arms hard and put his full weight on top of me. "Now I want kisses. Not your missish pecks--long, deep, luscious kisses." I bit him

SO NOW IT'S YOUR TURN! On your blog (and leave us a link with Mr. Linky here or in the comments), and/or on Twitter... SWOON us! PS! Make sure to tweet with the #YABound hashtag so we can RT you!
