When Steve kissed her, and later when she kissed him back, his mouth was firm and he tasted clean, and he smelled like warm leather.

When she kissed Bruce in the restaurant, his lips were hard before he yielded. He tasted like mint and coffee; all around them, they were surrounded by the sharp, spicy scents of curry and cardamom and hot peppers.

When Audrey kisses her, she is soft in all the right ways, teasing her tongue against Diana's lips. She tastes of wine and strawberries, and she smells of powder and soft perfume.

Really, there is no comparison.
