Word Count - 75 or 275



The Blonde Bookworm is out there again. She doesn’t bother with the parks or beaches nearby - just soaks up the sun 10 feet outside our door. She’s being completely shameless today! No Kindle for this gal… an old-fashioned tome to interrupt what I want to see! That’ll make a wild tan line!

If I think something intensely, will it travel to her brain and happen? I whispered the words again and again. “Turn over!!!!” Ha.

LYKES69: Are you Sassy on AM?

Don’t know that user ID. Pop over to Ashley Madison to see who viewed my profile - bingo! Young 30s, no photos or paragraphs - just a request to chat on “the three letter place.” Ha. Gaming the system to not give AM any money. Smart. Cheap.

I’ve stopped responding to random kik messages, don’t like messaging on my phone… more of an email gal. And I never have luck with men that young. All they want is nude photos. They disappear - they don’t want photos of a curvy old gray-haired lady!

But I’m stuck in solitary confinement with my shades pulled down. And none of my mentourage wrote to me this morning.

SASSY: Maybe ; )

LYKES69: Wanna see your tits

*sigh. So predictable.

SASSY: here are some others.

[I dug up a couple of photos I saw on a nice man’s blog - look like younger me.]

LYKES69: I can’t see the tits! :(

BLOCK.

FFF: Prompt for July 15

Here's a new prompt for this week's Erotic Flash Fiction Friday (FFF).

Take a look at the pic and the instructions, and write a little story. 

Post it on Friday, and send me a link to your story so I can compile the links of everyone who plays.

Suggestions for prompts for upcoming weeks are welcome.

Word Limit: 170-190

Key Words: compose, propose

Forbidden Words: red, said

=====

He was on a tear - he’d been at the piano for hours trying to compose a new aria for his latest opera.  I went to the doorway to let him know when dinner was ready - he nodded but the notes did not stop flowing out of the music room, so I set the plate on the table behind the piano and left him to it.  On and on the new music filled air!  It sounded like he was making progress.  

I let him know when I headed to bed… he let out a distracted “Sleep well” and continued playing.

I went off to bed and dozed off to the strains of his edgy composition. 

He was taking a shower when I woke up from a steamy dream…I was missing the feel of his hands on my body and his mouth between my legs!  I was determined to get his attention first thing this morning so I could propose some hot sex before he started in again on the music.  There was only one way to get his attention… 

FFF - Sexy science

Key Words: tanned, brand
Forbidden Words: planned, grand

=====

I closed my eyes and rubbed them gently… staring at my screen 

during the budgeting gives me a headache. We couldn’t keep 

going like this. This project was controversial to start, but getting 

nowhere made it untenable. Sponsors won’t stick around when 

we have nothing to show them. No sense figuring out how to

carry on…better work on how to wind down and move on. My 

Nobel prize for cloning a brand of beautiful women? Gone…

My phone rang and I hit the speaker button.

“Professor! Please come to the lab NOW!” I heard my normally calm 

post-doc shouting.

“What’s up Watson?” I replied, trying to drum up enthusiasm but failing.

“NOW! You have to see…that last tweak you gave me… IT WORKS! 

TANNED with no LINES! AND IN TRIPLICATE!”

Dear Readers, It's Flash Fiction Friday!  Thanks to Max from Thoughts from A Mystic Satyr for the prompt to write.  Pop over to his blog to see what he and others saw in it.  Join me in writing your own post!  The prompt and my take are below.  Enjoy! 

Prompt: 

Word Limit: 210-220

Key Words: knot, naught

Forbidden Words: face

Never date a female sailor.  Trust me..  I would tell you why, but it’s a little too personal.  Okay… I’ll say this.  They know how to tie a knot. And they won’t hesitate to use that skill to um… have their way with you!  

Not that I am clear on exactly what happened.  I was in the bar on the beach near the naval base, and there were a lot of off-duty military men and women dancing and singing and celebrating… something.  I was meeting a friend, but he didn’t show up.  So I got to talking with this woman. She was way out of my league gorgeous…a sailor.  She leaned in close so I could hear her, and I got a look down her top and.., okay i’m a sucker for big boobs. She caught me and said I had to drink a shot. I can drink a shot and be none of the worse for it but… I kept getting in trouble (looking and touching) and she kept prescribing my penance.  And I wasn’t sorry.   I was hoping it wouldn’t be for naught and we’d somehow end up somewhere more private.  Be careful what you wish for… and don’t drink with a sailor unless you want to wake up… well… trust me on this.

Okay… I’m walking out the door.  

HURRY! 

Be there in 10. Go sit in the coffeehouse on Bourbon Street?

No.  I…. can’t.  He threw my clothes in the trash. 

He… WHAT?  Never mind. Take deep breaths.  

He called me names, abandoned me. 

Geesh.  During the lesson?  I’m almost there. 

No… after… we… um… mmmm.

Right.  Can you stop seeing him?

Maybe.

===========

Today happens to be Hubby's birthday.  Here are my thoughts on what will not happen. 

------------

FFF - Hubby’s birthday

March 4, 2022 Friday 

"Do you know what you are getting me for my birthday?" Hubby asked as we finished eating supper about a week before his big day.  

I winced.  I do not.  I desperately want to see him smile while opening a present from me, but I am bad at figuring out what people would like, and never know what to get him.  I decided to tell him what I’d like to give him.  

"Me, naked in bed, with a big red bow around my waist?" I suggested.  He laughed.  Yes, laughed.  He has not touched me in eons.  He does his thing and I do mine.  Ah, well… I offered.  

"Thanks but no," he finally added.  "You know how I adore corsets?" 

"You want a corset?" I exclaimed.  Some men look hot in them, but not Hubby.  I did recall that he had a thing for women in bustiers.  

"Ha ha... no.  But I would love to touch a woman wearing one...you know the kind that have laces up the back" he trailed off, lost in the fantasy.  I rolled my eyes. 

“I’ll see what I can do!” I told him, stalking off to the kitchen to finish cleaning up supper dishes.  Maybe I could get him a blow-up doll with a corset?  Or a gift certificate for the local strip club for a lap dance?  Hmm…my brain churned as I struggled to come up with a plan that could fulfill his wishes.  

Suddenly I remembered a friend from the next town over who had confided in me one night after too many glasses of wine that she had the hots for Hubby.  Hmm… I wonder if she owns a corset?!  

Ah, the lengths I’ll go to to make him happy!  

FFF - The Witness

It's Flash Fiction Friday!  I am so excited to report that Advizor54 is back as host!  I want to give him a sassy welcome back.  Join me!  Write something pithy and post it with the photo!  Pop over to his blog to see what he and others saw in it.  The prompt and my take are below.  Enjoy! 

Prompt: 

Key Word - Waiting

Word Limit -250 exactly

No extra words

Forbidden Words - boredom, enui

===========

Beverly Clark: We need a witness to our lives. There's a billion people on the planet... I mean, what does any one life really mean? But in a marriage, you're promising to care about everything. The good things, the bad things, the terrible things, the mundane things... all of it, all of the time, every day. You're saying 'Your life will not go unnoticed because I will notice it. Your life will not go un-witnessed because I will be your witness'." 

from Shall We Dance (2004)

------------

How long had it been since he noticed me?  Touched me?  Hmmm.. too damn long.  

No one believes that a man will turn down sex.  I tried everything to get him to notice me and do something about it. 

• Cooking his favorite dinner and offering myself for dessert.

• Wearing sexy lingerie.  

• Wearing new perfume he’d given me. 

• Bringing home his favorite beer.  

• Sharing sexy videos.

• Chatting with him fresh from the shower, naked, in the bedroom, on a Saturday morning when we didn’t have to be anywhere!  

Still nothing!  I gave up. 

I connected with a man on Ashley Madison.  We met for coffee.  He made me laugh.  He didn’t sit there reading Facebook!  We met for lunch.  He invited me to his favorite bed & breakfast.  

He texted me that the door was open - he was out getting condoms and chocolates!  I shed my skirt and panties, sat on the couch.  Suddenly I heard his car.  I stayed there.  Exposed.  Needy.  Waiting. 

FFF Broad Daylight

It's Flash Fiction Friday!  Time for me to gaze at the sexy photo Advizor54 posted to challenge bloggers to write a pithy post!  Pop over to his blog to see what he and others saw in it.  The prompt and my take are below.  Enjoy! 

Key Phrase: “But we just met”

Word Limit: 300

Forbidden Words: Alley, Knees, Whore

Bonus Words:  Make it in the daytime

Extra Credit:  Tell us the dirtiest place you’ve ever had sex

=========

“Those Cosmic Choos look fantastic on you... they match your dress perfectly!" I whispered to her reverently.  She looked up at me with big sad eyes and smiled wistfully. 

I had noticed her immediately when she came in to the store, wearing the perfect little black dress that hugged her taut thighs… a tall brunette who made every man turn and stare, wondering what those thighs would feel like wrapped around him.  She went straight for the Jimmy Choo rack, and sat on the little bench, trying on the various black shoes, then the tan ones… finally a black suede pair.  She went back to the classic black and sat staring at them for a long time.  She reminded him of a girl he dated in high school.  Or Princess Katherine, who also favors Jimmy Choo.  I couldn’t resist going over and speaking to her.  

“I can’t afford them… just came in to try them on… and torture myself,” she admitted as she stared at the $600 price tag.  

“They’re on sale!” I pointed to the “Summer Clearance - 50% Off!!!!” banner on the wall. 

She sighed and shook her head.  “Still too much,” she whispered, looking away.  Suddenly she looked back and grinned, batting her eyelashes. 

“Could you buy them with your employee discount?” she asked.  I calculated the amount quickly in my head… less than $250.  Hmmm… 

“Why would I do that?” I asked back, trying to figure out what she was up to.  

“I could… um… do something for you,” she giggled and winked!  The cheek!  

“But we just met!” I gasped, then felt stupid.  A gorgeous woman was offering me sexual favors at a very reasonable price!

“Take me somewhere more private?” She coaxed.  “Let me… make you feel good.”  This was an offer I could not refuse.   

FFF Entrance

Happy Flash Fiction Friday!  It's time once again to check out the photo Advizor54 posted to inspire us to write a short sexy something to share.  Pop over to his blog to see what he and other salacious sexy bloggers saw and leave comments!  My take is below.  Enjoy!

Here's this week's challenge:

Keywords: entrance or exit, but not both.
Forbidden words: blindfold, slave, slut
Bonus words: tell us about your first experience with a blindfold or sensory deprivation.
Extra credit: put more than two people in the room, but don't let the extras touch.
Word count: 150 words from her perspective and 150 from another

===============

She paused for a moment and the camera clicked as she made her grand entrance through the French doors.  She heard an appreciative sigh from the cameraman and her co-star’s gasp.  She fought back her nerves.  When she saw the lingerie laid out in the dressing room, she wondered where the rest of it was!  But that was the way this film was going be.  The costume people had outdone themselves - this get-up was sure to get the tabloid rumors flying.  There had been wild speculation about who would play the part, but she had landed it!  These were the first images to be released.  They’d played at disguising her, to let people guess for a day or so, then the big reveal of her name would be announced, and the trailer would debut.  There would be interviews on the top talk shows.  Whee!  Her life would never be the same.  

He couldn’t help but gasp when she made her entrance.  She was the entire package they promised when he signed for this role - a classic beauty, enhanced by the wizards in hair and makeup… but he couldn’t take his eyes off her perky nipples and landing strip!  He was going to touch her in both places!  He was supposed to be working but he couldn’t help stiffening.  He’d get that under control soon, but for now he could use it to make the promo photos more interesting.  A bulge would perk up this blasted boring suit and tie they’d stuffed him into.  He couldn’t wait for them to get on with shooting the more intimate scenes so he could get out of the formal threads.  They’d only scratched the surface for the trailer, but best was coming up soon.  His life would never be the same.

FFF - One More Time

Time for Flash Fiction Friday!  Advizor54 found this picture on the Twitter feed of When Dusk Settles and challenged us to write about it this week!  Check out his blog to see what he and other bloggers wrote about it.  My scribbling is below.

“Was she beautiful when you first met her, way back then?” I asked my dad.  He smiled wistfully. 

“Yes. Of course.  I’ll never forget how we’d walk in these woods after class, her hurrying me along, taking off bits of clothing to tease me, make me walk faster, knowing I was going to… well… you know… we were going to….” he blushed.  My dad was such a prude!  I’m  married with two kids and he still can’t talk about sex.  

“Was it really okay to go out with a teacher back then?” I asked.  He had told me this story many times but I delighted in hearing it one more time. 

“Well… we had to be careful, but it wasn’t such a big deal back then.  She was the first woman who got tenure in the department.  I picked her class not knowing it was taught by a gorgeous brunette!”  He got that besotted look, as he always did when talking about my  mother.  

“I wish… she was here to walk with us,” I told him.  He smiled.  “What I wouldn’t give to see her in the sunlight.” 

“Sometimes I think I hear her laughing, when we’re out here on a sunny spring afternoon like this.  I turn and I think I see…” 

“I know, Dad,” I patted his arm and tried to think of some other subject to raise. 

“She had the best tits, just like Sophia Loren!” He hooted.  “And she didn’t care who saw them when she was in a mood!”  I blushed a little myself at that!  

“Aww, Dad.  You are such a poet!” 

FFF Freedom

Happy Independence Day!  There's a strange feeling in Boston for the holiday this year, because they moved the annual Boston Pops Concert and fireworks to last night due to the approach of Hurricane Arthur and its torrential rains expected today.  What are we supposed to do with no fireworks and no barbecue?  Oh... right... I can write a "Flash Fiction Friday!"  

Here's this week's photo and challenge from Advizor54's site.  Go over there to see what he and other blogs wrote to celebrate our great nation's birthday!  I chose this photo from his three options because she reminds me of me!  Many years ago but... Enjoy!  

• Key Phrase: "Let Freedom Ring"
• Word Limit:  294
• Forbidden Words: Independance, Revolution
• Extra Credit:  Tell me how I came up with the word limit
• Bonus Words: Tell us about a special holiday Romp

============

I sat on the front of the boat.. oh, excuse me… should use boating terms today.. the bow!  Nothing but beautiful blue ocean and sun and… the gaggle of 20-somethings my niece had invited to help us celebrate the holiday.  Boating is not my thing… the sun is my enemy.  But I go along, toss on a big hat and Neutrogena spf 70 sunblock, long-sleeves and slacks and relax.  My sister settles me in a quiet spot, hands me lemonade and grapes and I watch the wet world go by.  Hours pass.  

The kids dove into the ocean, floating and frolicking in the icy water about 50 feet from the boat.  My sister and brother-in-law were sitting in… hmmm… the stern!  

A gorgeous blond burly boy… oops.. young man… plopped down beside me.  He was wearing red white and blue Speedo shorts.  I looked him up and down.  He smiled, brazen in his knowledge that I liked what I saw.  

“No swimming?” I inquired, wondering why he hadn’t joined his friends. 

“Sharks,” he said calmly.  That was silly but I wasn’t going to argue. 

He pulled his phone out and thumbed through photos.  I shamelessly watched.  They were photos of models in red white and blue swimsuits!  When he got to a particularly buxom brunette beauty, I pointed. 

“That one… I looked like that at your age,” I winked.  His eyes grew wide as he stared at the photo, then at my chest, obviously wondering what was under all my layers. 

“Show me,” he winked back, waving at my breasts.  I shook my head. 

“Please?  Come on… ‘let freedom ring’ and all that,” he cajoled me.  “I’ll get you off,” he promised boldly, wiggling his eyebrows.  How could I resist such an sexy offer? 

FFF: Choo choo

Key Words:  Parting, Station

Forbidden Words:   Discreet, Forbidden, Tryst

Extra Credit:  Name the train and the destination

================

“All aboard!” The conductor shouted as the last passengers scurried along the platform with a parting wave to their loved ones.  

“Amtrak’s Silver Star to Raleigh...Columbia, Savannah...Jacksonville, Orlando, Tampa aaaaannnnndd Miami FLORIDA”! he intoned.  “Final call!”  

I wended my way through the cars to my berth.  The porter checked me in, and stowed my bags as the train rumbled out of the station with a long horn blast.  “You cut it close Mr. Alcott.  Drinks in the club car,” he said. 

“Thank you, Sprite,” I replied.  He was my favorite porter - a large, gentle man in his 40th year of service.

“I’ll order in,” I mused. 

“No, sir.  You go walking.  See the… scenery,” he instructed.  

“Oh?” I queried, raising an eyebrow.  

“Oh yes sir,” he smiled.  “If you like legs, and a sassy attitude,” he winked.  I strode off to investigate.  

I’m more of a breast man, but maybe she’ll be entertaining?  Never gotten laid on the train, but that could change.  I got hard thinking of rocking to the gentle rhythm of the rails with a soft body beneath me. 

I saw her lithe legs immediately when I entered the club car. Worth the walk indeed!

“Hey Kevin!  How are you doing today?” Bob greeted me as I stumbled into the office at 9:35 am.   

“Shhh… you don’t have to shout,” I whispered.  My head was pounding!  The office was too bright and every noise made me want to barf. 

“Tough night?” Bob asked solicitously.  

“It was great until… um… I don’t remember,” I replied, struggling to piece together how the evening ended.  “My neighbors are from Brazil, and there was this big outdoor party for the opening match of the World Cup, with a lot of meat on the grill and beer and beautiful women. I don’t know what the outcome will be, but the prediction I heard is Brazil will win.” 

“Oh that sounds so rough!” Bob chuckled.  I put my head on my desk.  I never drink anymore and I forgot how nasty a hangover can be.  Pure misery.  

“It was a super party - they went all out.  Even hired a panda bear - that’s the World Cup mascot - you know, some guy in a bear suit, to make the kids laugh,” I remembered.  

“Yuck.. I wouldn’t want that gig on a warm night.  Couldn’t pay me enough!” Bob pointed out emphatically. 

“Yeah… I… well… it turns out it wasn’t a guy,” I told him.  I managed a perverted smile.  

“What?  There was a gal in the suit?” Bob asked. This was clearly blowing his mind.  “How did you find that out?” 

“Well… she had to… go to the little girls room and she needed help - there’s no trap door back there to heed nature’s call!  She whispered in my ear and led my off to the bathroom to assist her!” I explained as Bob’s eyes got wide. 

“Wow… you have all the luck!” Bob whistled. 

“It’s true.  But it gets better,” I teased him, grinning as the memory flooded back.  I got hard all over again thinking how I helped her out of the costume, and she helped me out of my shorts!  I was remembering her skillful gloved hands and hot mouth… damn.  

“Better?” Bob was puzzled now.  “What happened?” 

“Oh yeah… you won’t believe what she was… or rather wasn’t wearing under that suit!”

O God, the life of all who live, the light of the faithful, the strength of those who labor, and the repose of the dead: 

We thank you for the blessings of the day that is past, and humbly ask for your protection through the coming night.

and in the lifetimes of the entire Family of Israel,swiftly and soon Amen

Blessed be the mother goddess, by all her many names.

May she bless my family and friends.

May she bless the animals of the world,

and all people everywhere.

"What was all that?" he asked quietly. 

"It's the prayers...  From my childhood, the Anglicans, the Jews, the Wiccans...I know more but it's late."  

"Covering lots of bases, eh?" he observed dryly, trying not to chuckle at her heartfelt devotion. 

"Yes... might as well," she shrugged.  "Maybe one of them will bring him back to me."

================

One of those days.  New boss being a total bitch just because she can.  You've met the type - the bean counter who impresses the higher-ups because she knows her way around a budget but doesn't know the first thing about working with people?  

And my Ashley Madison guy forgot our meet at the bar after work and forgot to tell me.  So I sat there alone for 40 minutes revving myself up so I’d be ready and wet and… nothing.  I texted twice. He finally wrote back… “Oops!  Sorry… busy.  Later baby.”  I hate it when men call me baby.  What am I supposed to do with all this horny goodness?!  

I headed to the subway, watching the couples headed out for the evening, chanting, “Tomorrow will be better.  It will be fine,” to myself.  At least the trolley was less crowded with the rush hour over.  I fantasized about the early days when the AM guy texted me 75 times a day and would be waiting at the bar and take me to dinner and a hotel and pound me into next week until I couldn’t remember my name!  

I stumbled off the train and strolled up the street, facing the long, quiet Memorial Day weekend, stepping carefully around the piles of discarded household items left by neighbors moving out.  I kept an eye out for anything salvageable.  I don’t need more stuff, but sometimes there is a plum chair or a box of books that I can save from the garbage to pass on to a friend or the church rummage sale. 

The bear caught my eye way down the block, perched on top of a pile of furniture - a huge teddy bear!  I picked him up.  “Hey there Boo Boo!”  

I am a sucker for stuffed animals.  Especially bears.  I usually go for panda bears, but this guy was so cute… wrapped my arms around him.  So huggable.  I could not resist.  I cuddled him all the way home. 

I tossed off my clothes and settled down with him on the floor to look him over for bugs or stray hairs.  He was totally clean!  I smiled at him and he smiled back. 

“So… are we gonna get it on or what?” he said.  I was a little taken aback.  Maybe all the stress at work has made me insane? 

“That’s not a very nice way to start,” I kidded him.  

“You’re so hot, I lost my manners!” he wolf-whistled.

This was getting interesting!

==============

My mom was trying to help.  I thought, “Not Now Mom!!” but she was intent on getting me through my anniversary.  I couldn’t deprive her of the satisfaction.  

“We can give it to the consignment shop.  I just want to see you in the outfit once more.  It was so perfect for you!”  I obliged, she took photos, and I shed everything but the veil.  

“Close your eyes!” she instructed me.  I dutifully obeyed. 

“Now tell me about that night,” she commanded.  I shuddered.  We were close but there are some things you do not tell your mother!  

“I’ve been patient.  Now spill!” she insisted.  

It had been the perfect day.  The weather, the ceremony, the food.  Our friends and family behaved.  We drove away smiling and settled in to our hotel room with the view of the lake.  

“We made sweet love…,” I started.  My brain was flooded with memories.  “He was the best lover… gentle hands, sexy mouth and he knew what to do with his equipment, Mom.”  She smiled.  

“At midnight there was a knock on the door.  His best man strode into the room and joined us in bed!” 

“Oh no!  Was that awful?” she asked.  

“On the contrary, it was fantastic!  So amazing to have two talented men pleasuring my body simultaneously!”  

“Okay… why did you leave?” 

“Well… They were touching each other, not me,” I reported.  “I said I would leave them alone to enjoy… when should I come back?  And MY HUSBAND said… ‘we don’t have to have sex again do we?’”  

“Whoa…,” my mom cursed quietly.

“And I thought to myself… no… no we don’t.”
