stolen kisses

Illicit romantic pecks

Stolen kisses are kisses taken by surprise or without explicit permission—a quick peck when someone isn't expecting it, or a romantic moment seized impulsively.

The phrase suggests something pleasurable but slightly illicit, captured rather than given freely: They exchanged stolen kisses behind the bleachers.

The theft is usually welcome.
