Tempted By A Demon

That slight touch, his hand sensually draped in the small of my back, the tips of his fingers grazing the top of my curves, incapacitated me. I’d forgotten how intoxicating his filmy stroke on my velvet flesh felt. I heard myself roar the word MORE in my head while strips of clothing fell away to the floor as if the smooth jazz music encircling us, making us sway deliberately, demanded it. We were back in the moment, fully immersed in a time where hearts don’t heed warnings. How long would it be before the ugly truth would reveal itself again?

    1. It has been a hot minute since we talked last! My life is chronically busy, but I guess that’s how I function best. I try to fill my day with the things I love doing. It helps keep me sane even though I am working on a variety of things all the time. The current political climate is keeping my equilibrium unsteady, as every day there is something to be concerned about! I do hope we can get through the next 3 years without a civil war here or WW3. I’ll happily accept love and hugs, and send the same in return!

      How have you been, my friend? I just realized that WP must have dropped you because I just went and resubscribed. I guess I would know more about how you’ve been if I had seen a post ! But do let me know how you are, Usha! <3

  7. This is exquisitely written. You have a masterful way with sensory language, making the reader feel the intoxicating tension, the warmth of the touch, and the hypnotic atmosphere. The line “hearts don’t heed warnings” is particularly powerful and poignant, perfectly capturing the beautiful, dangerous allure of a moment we know we shouldn’t surrender to, but do anyway. Simply breathtaking.
