I have a historical novel in the final edit stage. There is no sex scene, but there is a lot of sexual tension. The hero twice (in his POV scenes) reflects on his state of arousal and, in the one scene where they passionately kiss, he tells the heroine he wants to bed her. It's all done in period language and nothing graphic, however, I worry that a reader would feel this is building up to something more than a passionate kiss and be disappointed when there is no final culmination. I am torn about whether I should leave it as it is or try and make it a bit more G rated.
Any opinions/advice on this dilemma would be much appreciated!
