passionate kiss

Lips meeting intensely

A passionate kiss is one charged with intense romantic or sexual desire—deeper, longer, and more urgent than a casual peck.

The phrase implies open mouths and emotional abandon: They shared a passionate kiss before he boarded the train.

Distinguished from friendly or perfunctory kisses by its heat and intimacy.
