Love scene.

Until today, the closest to a "love scene" I'd ever written was a fifteen-year-old girl's very detailed first kiss from my first manuscript. But, even though it doesn't happen until much, much later than the part of my story I'm supposed to be working on now, I came up with some ideas for how I want to handle my main character having sex. The pacing, style, and some of the phrasings started coming to me, so I decided to see if I could write it.

This isn't an on-screen sex scene, by the way. It's the leading up, fade to black.

So, I wrote it and then I had my husband read it, which was totally, TOTALLY nerve-wracking. He thinks it's good. Sexy, but not porny. Awkward, funny, and real. I hope he's right...
