the golden lily by richelle mead excerpt

He reached out and pulled me to him, one hand on my waist and the other behind my neck. He tipped my head up and lowered his lips to mine. I closed my eyes and melted as my whole body was consumed in that kiss. I was nothing. I was everything. Chills ran over my skin, and fire burned inside me. His body pressed closer to mine, and I wrapped my arms around his neck. His lips were warmer and softer than anything I could have ever imagined, yet fierce and powerful at the same time. Mine responded hungrily, and I tightened my hold on him. His fingers slid down the back of my neck, tracing its shape, and every place they touched was electric.

But perhaps the best of all was that I, Sydney Katherine Sage, guilty of constantly analyzing the world around me, well, I stopped thinking.

And it was glorious.

This whole bit between Sydney & Adrian took my breath away.

And then Adrian going on about how she's like light made into flesh, and how he wants to be a better person and excel because of her.

Sydney/Adrian = relationship goals

For a YA series, I honestly can't believe it when I say that it's the best series I've ever read, hence why I'm re-reading it. Sydney & Adrian are my OTP for any book, tv or film series or even standalone work. I have never come across a more beautiful relationship.
