Here's mine (this week's SWOON is from a New Adult novel, so this scene is a little more mature than YA):

Contact with her silky mouth stole my breath. Her grip tightened, but she didn't wrench away. A current pulsed to my chest. My rabid demon wanted to rip off her clothes and take her, but I stomped him down. Leaving one of my hands on her warm, lower back, I let the other trail up, following the dips and grooves of her spine.

I imagined it was her bare flesh, not the feel of her cotton shirt. My hand found her neck, and I tilted her head for better access. A moan filtered through her into my mouth, and she parted her lips, inviting me in. My tongue sought hers with a tentative brush, chasing her sweet taste and lilac smell. She deepened the kiss.
