smooch
More than peck
Smooch is an informal, slightly playful word for a kiss, usually implying affection rather than passion: They shared a quick smooch before parting.
As a verb, to smooch is to kiss in this way, or to engage in kissing and light petting: The teenagers were smooching in the back row.
