phinnia: nude touching lip with fingers (soft touch hand to lip)

and after: a tale in 100 words

light scattershot through the blinds; shining prison-bar tattooed across lean muscles. the day continues blissfully unaware as she sleeps deeply enough for both of us.

i trace the long lines of her - the blossoming curve of hips waist shoulders, the soft cup of a breast. she turns and the darkened nipple is revealed. i dare to kiss it, my tongue flickering out.

"What time is it?" Her voice is thickened by sleep and a hand with bitten nails tangles its way through her hair. "Time to go?"

The lie falls easily from my mouth. "Not yet, love. Not yet."

<3

This is so sensual but there's also this beautifully subtle tension/nervousness there, so that we can interpret the situation/characters without it ever being stated.

In other words, you're AMAZING <3

This really is beautiful. My favorite sentence is the last one in the first paragraph. It communicates a lot and I really adore it.

A question, though. Just one about your style. Do you purposefully not capitalize words or leave out punctuation? I'm just wondering if this is a stylistic choice and, if so, why you made it.

the punctuation is a feeling thing. i can't really explain it better than that. capitalization is partly because my pinky fingers won't bend that way very easily so unless it's longer fiction i just don't want/care to.
i'm glad you love it. i'm pretty proud of this one too.

This is pure poetry in prose. That's a big wallop you've packed into 100 words. Lovely, lovely job.
