Six Sentence Sunday #4: Be careful where you kiss

This Sunday's six is from my Regency paranormal romance WIP, A Woman of Proper Accomplishments:

"Never had Helena expected something like this to happen. The seconds stretched into an eternity of bliss. Any thoughts of guilt, propriety, and anything other than the pleasure of the kiss were washed away into oblivion.

That made it all the more unfortunate when a familiar giggle sounded from near the door--Cassie!

She wrenched away from Mr. Morgan and turned toward the noise, her whole body burning with a mixture of suppressed desire and embarrassment. Cassandra stood at the entrance of the room with her hands over her mouth doing little to conceal her wide grin."

    Oh, dear. Interrupted kisses are always quite bothersome.

    It'll be interesting to see where you take this. :o) Good work!

    Oops, busted! Interesting that she still thinks of him as Mr. Morgan after kissing him!

    Should that be propriety?

    I wonder how Mr. Morgan will react to getting busted as well. Darn that meddling Cassie, interupting a perfectly wonderful kiss.

    LOL. Yes, it should be propriety and not proprietary. :)

    Just a note:

    Cassandra is Helena's age (well one year younger). She's a family friend.

    Interrupted passion is always fun (well, unless you're the person being interrupted!) Can't wait to hear what this "woman of proper accomplishments" experiences next.
