Re: Which Kiss Was Better?

I liked the kiss between Cecilia and Sebastian the best. Although it's not as passionate as Alexander's, the kiss with Sebastian sounds more realistic since it is Cecilia's first kiss and romantic experience. I also find it incredibly sweet and proper, and they can always build up to more romantic, passionate kisses down the road.

I liked the kiss on the cheek better. Sure the French kiss was more intimate, but it lacked thrill. There was nothing to anticipate. The kiss on the cheeks however, promised a lot of things. And there was nothing platonic about that kiss. I think a kiss on the cheeks being platonic depends on the person you're kissing.

I do agree that both are kisses, but I think the one on the lips portrays more affection, is mutual between them and anticipated.

The kiss on the lips was more powerful. It confirmed and sealed all things. It was thrilling and passionate for me

I prefer Sebastian kissing Cecilia on the lips because it expresses emotional love from the heart and shows the level of connection.

I preferred the second kiss. Although they might have already fallen in love, the kiss still meant a lot and was good enough.

I certainly preferred the kiss on the lips. It obviously didn’t strengthen Sebastian and Cecilia’s love( because of how strong it already was) but it was definitely a special moment as it showcased their chemistry and affection.

I love the Alexander & Cecilia kisses more. The Sebastian romance loses its luster after a while because the boy can’t buck up & just kiss her already. I feel like he’s a too gentle with her & she’s always left pining for more. Alexander, though rougher with what he desires, isn’t afraid to show he wants her. I like a man who can take charge.

While Alexander was more exciting, I was annoyed by their whole "love" story. Cecilia talks about how unexpected and amazing it was to be in love with Sebastian, she's willing to throw it all away because Alexander is hot and forces himself on her? Not cool. But I also felt that the author left Sebastian's kiss feeling a little boring. So I guess I didn't like either of them.

Alexander was the bad boy type. So a kiss on the cheek was most definitely cute. The kiss was a symbol of their intimate love for each other, rather than a lustful one. Their first kiss was I guess to some readers was thrilling, exciting, and a bit of a fangirl moment, however, after a while having something more delicate like a kiss on the cheek was nice.

I preferred they kiss on the lips. I feel that if two people kiss on the cheeks is already usual and sometimes only shows the formal way to do their greetings.

I like the kisses that they shared, but I think that the kiss on the lips helped to show the level of interesting and chemistry between Cecelia and Sebastian.

Personally, a kiss on the cheek does not mean anything to me, I mean it does not portray intimacy as far I am concerned. I prefer the kiss on the lips, it conveys the real message.

I liked the kiss on the lips better as, in my opinion, it symbolized their utmost feelings for one another. The kiss on the cheek was also full of love but it seemed tentative, like they're still unsure about their relationship status. The kiss on the lips proved finality.

Sebastian and Cecilia had a love that seemed pure. I don't know if "enjoy" is the right word because it'll seem like I shared in the kiss. But it was thrilling to read
