Quote from Colleen Houck, Tiger’s Quest

There are many different types of kisses. Thereā€™s a passionate kiss of farewellā€”like the kind Rhett gave Scarlett when he went off to war. The kiss of I-canā€™t-really-be-with-you-but-I-want-to-beā€”like with Superman and Lois Lane. Thereā€™s the first kissā€”one that is gentle and hesitant, warm and vulnerable. And then thereā€™s the kiss of possessionā€”which was how Ren kissed me now. It went beyond passion, beyond desire. His kiss was full of longing, need, and love, like all those other kisses. But, it was also filled with promises and pledges, some of which seemed sweet and tender while others seemed dangerous and exciting. He was taking me over. Staking a claim. He seized me as boldly as the tiger captured his prey. There was no escape. And I didnā€™t want to. I would have happily died in his clutches. I was his. And he made sure I knew it. My heart burst with a thousand beautiful blooms, all tiger lilies. And I knew with a certainty more powerful than anything Iā€™d ever felt before that we belonged together.
