KISS INTERRUPTED

"Unhand her this instant!" A strident voice cut short their embrace.

She turned, her lips going from sensually ripe to an impenetrable line in a skipped heartbeat. "You are presumptuous, sir," her voice was as cold as a false vow. "If I wanted to be 'unhanded' I am perfectly capable of saying so myself."

She was walking past his trailer when he saw the rainstorm bearing down on her. "Come inside! Quickly!"

She knew from the tone of his voice that she should obey. She didn't even look behind herself. She just ran to him.

As he drew her through the door, he took her in his arms. "There's something I've been wanting to tell you," he hesitated.

"It's alright," she said softly, "take your time."

"No." His voice was a soft growl, "I've wasted too much time!"

Her lips were cool and wet from the rain at the leading edge of the storm. The thunder of the hail that followed was just about enough to drown out the pounding of his heart.

"And what have you got?" he sneered.

"Oh, I've got pussys galore," she grinned.

"Like the Bond girl?" He looked confused.

"No."

All she had to do was open the door. Her feline legions took care of the rest.

Crochet Heart

Sometimes one just wants a bit of simplicity. Today I learned to make this little heart thanks to a tutorial reel by dogwood.crochet on IG.

I can invent crafts

to keep my hands busy

Seek words

to occupy my mind

I can count stars and

hours until I'm dizzy

Try to fathom

the ties that bind

Or realise that Love's

logic is crazy

And all the truth

we'll ever find

The fears of the past

are becoming hazy

Sunbeams cast

my shadows behind

He is sleeping and I am weeping

And neither has anything to do with the other

All in keeping with fear of leaping

My body safe and warm - mind stormy as the weather

from Twitter #vss365 #prompt #fear

No more chasing dreams not my own

No need to pursue 

No more following the path I'm shown

No more hiding what's true

I will walk. I will run.

I will dance. I will fly.

I will my go on as though

my soul will never die

I will climb.

nor fear the fall

I will heed

my heartbeat's call

My life will be

and that is all

Wrapped Up In Loose Ends

 WRAPPED UP IN LOOSE ENDS

Once again

my doubt runs

away with my hope

stride for stride

like contestants

in a three legged race

tangling each other up

in confusion and fear

and the desire

to believe

in that line

at the finish.

"There is something you fail to realise," she purred as she gently nibbled at his lower lip. 

He had to clear his throat before he could ask her what. 

"The only thing keeping you from pushing me down on this carpet and taking me right here and now is you."

His sister had told him once before he came out into the world that if a girl glanced at his mouth more than once it meant one of two things. Either he had jam on his lip or she was wondering what it would be like to kiss him. He turned his head away for a subtle second and quickly licked his lips. There was no jam.

His eyes searched the room knowing she must be there. She was. She sat in a corner surrounded by suitors for whom she cared not a jot. She had come out of obligation, fully prepared to be bored senseless. She felt surprise akin to shock when her gaze drifted up and locked with his. Her blush was all the encouragement he needed. He crossed the room before her heart could begin to beat again and took her by the hands. His first question was unexpected, "Is there any mistletoe about?"

"The dining room doorway," she breathed.

"Will you accompany me to the dining room doorway, please?"

Fortunately she knew the quickest route there.

She wore a flowing magenta and gold kaftan that whirled around her in the sea breeze which also stirred her hair as if it were a separate living thing. Everything about her was in motion from her fluttering heart to her shaking hands to her tremulous emotions. He held her gently. She felt brittle enough to break until he softly pressed his lips to hers and she melted.
