AN  INCOMPLETE  LIST  OF  NICHE  KISSES 

feel free to edit who is sending and receiving,  i wanted to keep this post short and sweet so i didn’t create two perspectives since it’s easy to switch around after pasting 

1)  sender kisses the corner of receiver’s eye where their skin is crinkling from a smile. 

2)  sender tenderly places several kisses on receiver’s belly. 

3)  sender takes receiver’s hand and kisses their wrist,  lingering there to feel their pulse against their lips. 

4)  sender takes receiver’s chin between their fingers while receiver is smiling or laughing so they can kiss their dimple.  

5)  sender kisses under receiver’s ear,  right where the jaw and neck connect. 

6)  sender slowly kisses each of receiver’s fingertips. 

7)  sender takes receiver’s hand and kisses their palm. 

8)  sender kisses receiver’s palm after receiver cupped their cheek. 

9)  sender sensually kisses receiver’s inner ankle to start an ascension of caresses up towards their thigh. 

10)  sender kisses the middle of receiver’s chest,  right where the sternum is. 

11)  sender kisses receiver’s eyelids. 

12)  sender stands behind receiver and sweeps their hair aside to kiss the nape of their neck. 

13)  sender sensually kisses right behind receiver’s ear.
