Marley’s heart took off in a mad gallop. Every single nerve ending in her body sang with his nearness. He slowly bent his head and grazed her lips with his own. “Kissing you takes my breath away,” he muttered.

    I love how you described her heart which "took off in a mad gallop".
    This was a true "sweet" sample.
