:( Having trouble describing a special pair in a sex scene for my novel. Suggestions for words? How does one really describe breasts to adequately describe size and shape while still being hot and sexy?
 
The question reminds me of a piece of doggerel a friend wrote many years ago. The quotation in the last two lines is advice that another friend gave to her fellow poets...

Beneath the green willows
A dead poet's soul
Reposed amidst pillows
of fungus and mould,
And still searched for a rhyme,
While in peace he rest,
That would be so sublime
As to liken her breast
To the nearly-full moon.
He must not have heard,
"Don't leave the bed too soon;
You can't come with words."

(by EH)

It may or may not help you, but it is good advice.
 
Don't try, mostly. Instead, use your words to describe the other character's emotional and sensual reaction to them-- which is why you are trying to describe them in the first place, I'm betting.

They were smaller than he liked, or so he had always thought; but Meg's breasts enchanted him. He kept testing their firmness with little squeezes, and rubbing his thumb across the tips of her wine-brown nipples. "Fucking cut that out, you're driving me crazy!" Meg laughed at last, and slapped him.

Don't bother.
Settle for what you'd call the sexiest things imaginable and project it into the mind of the reader. It's the way you use the "reaction".
 
Read the book THE BALD-HEADED HERMIT AND THE ARTICHOKE: An Erotic Thesaurus, by AD Peterkin (Arsenal Pulp Press, 1999) for all the descriptive terms you could ever want or need.
 
I've always found the expression "Top Bollocks" to be particularly enchanting
