Draft 2 Goal: Increase Conflict and Suspense

I'm rubbish at writing sex scenes.

Even though these characters don't exist, it still feels like I'm peering through the windows at something too private for my eyes. It's also difficult to handle such an emotional moment in the book.

The best thing I've done to the scene so far is add a sentence of sadness. This scene is mostly happy, so one sad moment adds depth to the entire scene.

It's like, on Wednesday I went to an apple stand at the farmer's market. The farmer had about 12 different kinds of fresh apples.

"Do you want sweet? Sour? Or sweet with some tang?"

"Sweet with some tang!"

Of course I want both! The hint of sour only heightens the sweetness. I do that with really emotional scenes in my book, too.

Anyhow, I think I made the scene kinda cool. There's only one in the book. Hopefully it suffices.
