Assingment:
Let's get all steamy up in here and write about sex.
But you know us. There's a twist.
You can't write about the act. I don't want to read about any heaving bosoms or girded manhood (please tell me someone else giggled besides me).
There are so many other possibilities. And I hope you have fun finding them.
Limit is 600 words. It can be fiction or non-fiction. Come back here and link up Friday!!
Result:
Coming back into the room was like walking in to a sauna. It almost took his breath away; the heaviness in the air was palpable. He paused to clear his head a bit, and then his eyes landed on her. She was tangled in his sheets, a tantalizing bit of skin peeking out here and there. He could hear her deep, even breaths and see her mouth parted so slightly in the smudge of light brushed across her face.
He didn’t know how long he’d stood there watching her, but eventually he was pulled back into the bed’s gravity. He climbed into the tousled sheets beside her and offered the water he’d brought as she began to wake. She drank greedily from the bottle as if she’d never be sated. He could not take his eyes off of her. She was riveting, ravishing, and really here with him.
He was starting to wonder though, if he would have been better off leaving her asleep. Now that she was awake the heaviness in the air had been replaced by awkwardness. For two people who had spent the better part of the evening…and some of the morning…knowing each other really well, it was now as if they didn’t know each other at all.
*******
Well this was the start anyway. Then I got sucked into the So You Think You Can Dance finale...bendy, jumpy fools...I just can't look away :) Hopefully I'll get a chance to finish it up this weekend. Hope you all have a great one!
