Drabble: 'Only a Kiss'

[dwgm]

Wrote most of this a while back for the “Spark” drabble challenge, and was inspired to finish it up this morning. hereswith assures me it's not exactly like anyone else's Kiss!fic, in spite of the plethora of same, post-DMC.




~ Only a Kiss ~


She should have known better.

From their first meeting, dazed and dripping on the dock at Port Royal, there had been a heat and a truth between them. She might be young, and yet a maid, but she knew enough. He was different. This was different. It was something she had never experienced before, not even with Will.

He was not the pirate from her storybooks. And she was not the lady she’d been bred to be.

She should have remembered why she’d been wary, why she’d kept her distance. She should have known a kiss wasn’t only a kiss.

Thanks so much for the wonderful comments! I'm very happy to know it worked so well for so many readers. I almost didn't bother finishing it -- there has been so much written about the famous kiss, and by far better authors than I. But sometimes it's fun to try to distill an idea into a hundred words, the "official" count for a drabble.
