Sinking to their knees
Licking
Biting
Nipping
Pressing foreheads together
Shoving a hand between someone's legs
Shoving your hips together
Pinning their wrists
Caress
Wink
Wet/lick lips
Hike a skirt up/ruck a shirt up
Stroke (skin, hair, genitals, etc.)
(when one character is pressed against a wall) A does something, and B slams/throws their head back into the wall in reaction.
Undoing buttons/zips with their teeth (I suggest only having experienced lovers do this. It's remarkably difficult and you run the risk of getting your lip caught in a zip. It's not something to have a virgin get right on their first time in fiction if you want to be believable).
Splay hands across someone's chest or lower back
Rake nails across skin/through hair
Hooking a leg around someone's waist
Knee between thighs
Biting collarbones/hip bones/ribs (the bones that tend to protrude beneath the skin and draw it taut)
Sucking neck skin into the mouth
Cupping their cheeks
Grasping their chin and tilting it up/down
Placing a finger against their lips
Letting breath tickle their ears
Digging your nails in
Dipping your tongue into collarbone/bellybutton/ears/etc.
Tugging on earlobes with teeth
Push their hair back/card through it/rake through it
Hair pulling
Lips brushing ears
Ghosting over their neck with fingers/lips
Running fingers lightly over someone's palm or wrist
Hip grinding/rutting/thrusting/rolling/shifting/rockin g together
Dirty Talk (this can be anything from a simple "Oh, God, yes" to a full-on "I want to feel your name burning on my skin for days*." I suggest loads of cursing and using the lord's name in vain. "Oh fuck, oh, Jesus, fuck yes, there, just like that, fucking Christ" is a good start.)
Nipple play (Use caution depending on gender. Some men love it, some hate it, the majority of women love it)
Nuzzle
Tease/torture/torment
*Credit for that line to a Sherlock/Moriarty fic called "Crescendo" by PlainJaneDoe. It's amazing and a prime example of dirty talk. 10/10 Highly recommend. It's listed in the References section.
