A Kiss Excerpt with a Contest Alert By Susan Hanniford Crowley
Nothing is more beautiful than a first kiss. Sometimes they happen under strange circumstances via unusual ways.
In a shared dream, Saraina, the Gypsy girl, stands in the snow behind the tree and gazes into Prince Răzvan’s eyes.

“How many times was your heart-broken?” She asked.
“Twice.”
She laughed and took a step forward. “Twice? That’s very few.” Then a solemn expression straightened her smile. “Some men pay women to … I cannot say it.”
“I’ve never done that. I’ve never wanted that. I have been searching for my home.”
“You have no house?” Now she was teasing him.
“I have a fine house, but my bed is empty.”
“You do not sleep there?”
“It seems that recently I am always traveling, so no. I would travel less, if someone was waiting there for me.”
The merriment in her eyes brought the smallest smile to her lips. He found it odd and amazing, that he could sense her feelings.
“I travel all the time. Why not just take your wife with you?”
“As long as it was not dangerous, I would.”
Saraina took a step closer. He closed the distance. She leaned up to him and he leaned down. A small space between them remained.
“Răzvan, I don’t know how to kiss,” she whispered.
He pressed his lips tenderly against hers. When he felt her doing the same, he embraced her fully against him. Feeling her arms reach around him was heaven. Răzvan was home, and he knew it. This was his Dragă.”
They didn’t move out of that kiss for the longest time. That is the magic of dreams. Snow fluttered around them but she never felt the cold. The night was fading and Răzvan noticed that sunrise would dissipate the dream soon and felt sad. He had to keep her. He’d do anything to keep her.
Moving even slightly away from her hurt him. “Saraina, remember me and this dream.”
