Characters and thier emotions.

Love Scenes are......

A tango - a give and take - a push and pull that's what a love scene is, both emotionally and physically .A love scene in your story can move the plot, add interest, add tension and complications. Just like in real life, your characters take the chance of rejection and embarrassment and so it's likely there would be some kind of tension that comes along with attraction.

Think: two fighters in a boxing ring, both dancing around one another, trying to figure out just what would happen if: she leaned in closer, if he brushed a piece of lint from her shoulder, if they kiss, if she told him she loved him.

Most of us, when we first meet someone we are attracted to, won't jump right in and show how we feel. We'd make a move and see where it leads. Hopefully he'll take that hint and move with it - or not; thus the push and pull of your story.

It's important to keep your characters true to themselves. If your heroine is the type to jump right in with everything she does, consequences be damned, then she just might take that risk and tell him upfront how she feels. If a man is the: "my life is private and no one's allowed in" type, even during a love scene he wouldn't be all "talkie" about his feelings. Where she might be a bit nervous and talk even more, he'd clam up even tighter. That doesn't mean he's not thinking how beautiful she if, how soft, how wonderful. And she may be thinking, am I nuts? Yes, he's a hunk, but what am I doing? He's my boss she thinking, while they make passionate love!

Thinking conflicting thoughts while making love creates tension, that dance around the ring that makes the reader want to know what happens next. Will that touch lead to love? Will they make love again? Will they stay together?

Keep your reader guessing and you'll add suspense and anticipation to your story.

Remember to use your five senses. When you're in love, the world looks brighter, the air fresher, the sunsets are more vibrant and birds sing a sweeter song.
