Swoon Thursday is a hot meme hosted by the fabulous ladies at YA Bound!
- From the book you’re currently reading, or one you just finished, tell us what made you SWOON. What got your heart pounding, your skin tingling, and your stomach fluttering
- Try to make the swoon excerpt 140 characters (or less), if you are going to tweet about it. Use the hashtag #YABOUND when tweeting
So, since the fourth book of The Lunar Chronicles will come out next week (10th November) I decided to put together lines that made me swoon over the characters. Anyway, here they are.
“I mean it. I can’t go alone. And
I really can’t go with Levana.”
“Well there are about 200,000
single girls in this city who would fall over themselves to have the
privilege.”
A hush passed between them. He
wasn’t touching her, but she could feel his presence, warm and overpowering.
She could feel the elevator growing hot, despite the fact that her
temperature gauge assured her it hadn’t changed.
“Cinder.”
She couldn’t help it. She looked
at him. Her defenses withered a bit upon encountering the openness in his
brown eyes. His confidence had been replaced with worry. Uncertainty.
“200,000 single girls,” he said.
“Why not you?”
|
“I think I realized
that I would rather die because I betrayed them, than live because I betrayed
you.”
|
“Captain,” she murmured.
“I think I’m in love with you.”
An eyebrow shot up. She counted six beats of his heart
before, suddenly, he laughed.
“Don’t tell me it took you two whole days to realize
that. I must be losing my touch.”

Bending his head, Kai pressed his lips to her knuckles. The plating had
no nerve endings, and yet the touch sent a tingle of electricity along her
arm.
“Cinder?”
“Mm?”
He lifted his gaze. “Just to be clear, you’re not using your mind powers
on me right now, are you?”
She blinked. “Of course not.”
“Just checking.”
Then he slid his arms around her waist and kissed her.
Cinder gasped, pressing her palms against his chest. Kai pulled her
closer.
