Describing Kiss in Creative Writing

  • Breaking the kiss to say something, staying so close that you're murmuring into each other's mouths.
  • Being unable to open their eyes for a few moments afterwards.
  • Moving around while kissing, stumbling over things, pushing each other back against the wall/ onto the bed.
  • One small kiss, pulling away for an instant, then devouring each other.
  • Pressing their foreheads together while kissing.
  • Kissing so desperately that their whole body curves into the other person's.
  • Speaking normally, then after the kiss their voice is hoarse.
  • Guys furrowing their brow when kissing passionately.
  • Throwing their arms around the other person, holding them close while they kiss.
  • Starting at the other's lips, trying not to kiss them, before giving in.
  • Running their thumb over the other's lips.
  • Hands on the other person's back, fingertips pressing under their top, drawing gentle circles against that small strip of bare skin that makes them break the kiss with a gasp.
  • When they lean forward a fraction as if to kiss the other person, then realise they shouldn't and pull back to stop themselves.
  • Lazy morning kisses before they've even opened their eyes, still mumbling half-incoherently, not wanting to wake up.
  • Ripping the other away - "no we shouldn't" - but when they kiss them again they moan and hold them close.
  • Routine kiss where the other person presents their cheek/forehead for the hello/goodbye kiss without even looking up from what they're doing. 
  • One sliding their hand into the other's hair slowly.
  • Their entire body freezing for a second when their love kisses them.
  • Accidentally being forced inches apart from each other, staring at each other's lips, and just before they kiss someone pulls them apart.
  • When one stops the kiss to whisper "I'm sorry, are you sure you..." and they answer by kissing them more. 
  • a hoarse whisper "kiss me".
  • Then licks their lips and says "please".
