The Surprise
Kiss
A most charming manner of kissing is called the
"surprise kiss." This is performed when one of the parties has
fallen asleep, on the sofa, let us say. On entering the room,
when the other sees his lover asleep, he should tip-toe softly
over to her. Then, lowering his head slowly, he should implant
a soft, downy, feathery kiss squarely on her lips. This first
kiss should be a very light one.
But, thereafter, the intensity of the kisses should increase
until the sleeping one has awakened and, of course, even beyond
that. The effect of such an awakening to a sleeper is almost
heavenly. For, while in the midst of a dream, a pleasant one,
most likely, for it will concern the other half of the couple,
she feels vaguely, faintly, as though it were the touch of a
butterfly's wing, a subtle kiss on her lips.
 Naturally,
in the depths of her sleep, she imagines that it is part
of her dream and the result. is a pleasant sensation,
indeed. Then, gradually, athough still asleep, she feels
the kisses continue. And the pleasantness continues. Then,
as she starts to come out of her sleep, she realizes that
the kisses are to real for a dream. But she is sure that
she is dreaming. And so, immediately, a relapse from the
happiness sets in and a twinge of sadness comes over her
because she knows that, instead of being with her lover,
she is only dreaming of him. Imagine, then, her extreme
gratification, when, while thinking these drab thoughts,
she feels the actuality of an intense, ardent kiss on her
lips. Her heart flutters wildly. H
er pulse runs riot. Perhaps she is not asleep, she argues to
herself. Then she opens her eyes. And she sees the darling face
f her beloved bending over her. And she feels the sensuous
touch of his lips on hers. Truly, no awakening can be more
pleasurable!
