Tonight we dream in Morphine

[mercy]

The rigid features of scar tissue teased at the collar of his button down shirt. Were the suggestions formed in my mind a coincidental inflection of the rapid desire feeding this interminable curiosity? How long had the anticipation of usurping this hunger been leading me to this self realised moment?
I was the initiator, for sure, the want and needs and fantasy built from the years of offhand observation manifesting itself to this physical and most immediate situation. Everything leading me here had been adhered to in preclusion. I had always known what it was, but the generosity of what it meant was elusive in explanation.
Yet there he sat before me, as transfixed in the exchange of heated passion as i and willing incubus of seemingly infinite infatuations.
The initial response was anticipated, as was my reply.
"Why?" He had queried.
"Because"
Tender nervousness enveloped the first approach, stumbling tongues amidst curious manuevers. It took little time to give way to authoritative gestures. It now most certainly was "ON".
I sensed a minute trembling from within him, if it was sourced from his condition i could not tell. And i did not ask.
I braced myself between the couch and his chair, and engaged the brakes as i simultaneously discarded his shirt. His muscles were well defined, and his arms highly toned from the years of propelling himself on his chariot of freedom. There was security in his grip. I was absolutely giving away. I shifted myself and cradled him horizontally, our figures projecting monotone shadows along the walls. We cascaded together in exquisite unity, benefactors of our shared divine intent.

Before i go on...... should i ?(continue) I am writing from a dev perspective, as that makes the most sense to me. I read other stories and see no reason i may be out of line. But want to make sure so i don`t(inadvertently) offend anyone. Just wanted to give it a try to basically see if i could do it. ..........Let me know, give me a "go" and i will continue..... or not.... Mercy

[Samantha]

I LOVE IT. Got my attention from the getgo. That's what I like in a story. Hope you continue.

[mercy]

Can`t thank you enough for the kind words my dear Sam, i shall pick it up then .
And how are you? We seem to have gotten sidetracked with each other of late and you have been a bit sporadic in your posts. I will send you a personal soon. I have noticed you have been well taken care of by the wonderful support and advice you have been receiving AND giving.
I like the new pic also.
Hey, any advice/suggestions for direction/content you or any member care to offer i would be greatly honoured, as your opinions and observations are very welcome by me.

Part 2:

I am fully aware that he never saw the event unfolding, even mere minutes before i took my first courageous step (leap!bound!) to unveil my attraction. And why would he have? I never once veered away from the professional responsibilities i had to respect in my time as an office manager for a well reputed physiotherapy clinic to which he was a client. True, my role in the business was of a strictly operational nature, i was not a therapist and my interaction with the clients was limited at best. That did not change the fact that he was "my client" , even in the loosest of terms.
In the rewarding years of my employ there it was not a burden, harbouring my secret attentions to a wide scope of very attractive, yet very unattainable gentlemen. The majority of which i entertained merely a wistful play of scenarios in my fantasies.
Until i saw him.
We all have those instances of pure physical yearning, the magnetic so strong it causes the knees to slightly buckle, the breath to shorten and the pulse to quicken. It just happened that my instances were drawn across the 5 long years of my tenure. Underneath of which my conservative exterior lay dormant and hidden a fire breathing Phoenix seething to be exposed.
Who would have imagined that an economic slowdown, loss of government and phiianthropical funding leading to the closing of the clinic would prove a hidden benefit to my future, and a fulfillment of my closest desires.
But here i was, a self employed consultant to vacation retreats who wanted to raise their "accessible" profile and in front of me , the object of my extended desire, here on this island oasis to bask in the sun at another hotel chain`s resort.
His attendant and himself where in position at the designated airport shuttle courtesy area, waiting for what was promised as an accessible transport to their chosen destination. I was just looking for a cab to get to mine, neither was having much success.
Our eyes met and in his a faint recognition....... Then.
"Hey, i know you!" He exclaimed.

Part 3 : A bonfire of the sanities.....

"Oh, my God! Yes, the clinic!" Taken somewhat off guard, the words were almost involuntary as my processing networks taxed their limit in effort to catch up with the visual identification.
Our following exchange became a pratfall of mis-connected and overlapping reintroductions.
As i said "How are you?", he said "What brings you here?". As he said "Well, i`m fine it`s a surprise to bump in to you ", i said "Well, i have this new job" and realising our humorously clumsy attempts at conversation we both fell silent.
Which after a brief moment left us in folly at our own ineptitude.
The attendant broke in with a hotel representative acquired from the resorts kiosk inside the airport. "Well, it seems the delay is due to flat tire. Sorry, it may be a few hours hours and they also sent your medication ahead, so now it`s stuck onsite resort. I don`t want to take any risks, so Enrico is gonna drive me there and back.
In the meantime of the duration, he suggests you to the airport lounge, where all your beverages and any menu items will be complimentary, in keeping with the circumstance. He`s going to page another employee to attend and accompany you, OK?"
The paradigm shift suddenly took on the hue of unlimited success!
"Well" My hot wheeler replied " It appears my choices are somewhat limited".
Seize the moment, girl, seize the moment!
"Oh dear" I posted, " I would be remiss to leave a fellow compatriot in such a mundane situation. I hope i am not too bold to offer myself up in the role of attendee, it`s the least i can do".
"Oh, i don`t need to cause you any bother, i`m sure you have more pressing matters, you are here on business, right?".
"Yes, but thanks to my habit of giving myself a grace day so i can adjust comfortably to my new surrounding, i have all day to keep you company , and then some if need be.
Unless you prefer the company of an errand boy named Guillermo?"
"Actually" the hotel representative interjected, "he goes by the name Geraldo".
"I rest my case" I played. "And besides, we can share our views on the untimely demise of the clinic".
"And i certainly can`t object to the wills of such a sophisticated lady" He conceded.
And with that we were directed to the area of the lounge, the attendant and the rep slipping to the wayside as the transport to their missive pulled curbside.
"Just call attention to any airport employee if any urgencies or problem may arise "the rep called out, "they have been briefed on the situation".
And with that, i was there, in the sole company of the paramour of my desire, in a foreign land surrounded by foreign people enroute to a foreign bar, my how the destiny`s collide......
"Shall we"?
I literally floated beside him as we made our way

cool writing Mercy.. I like it very descriptive but not overly so. shoot maybe i should get you to help me write a few storys that i have the outline to floating around in my head.

[mercy]

Thanks Ray , wasn`t sure it would pass "the muster" but have been also privately told " not bad for a guy and wheeler", and one dev even said i was good at finding "meaning and substance" between the lines.
Anyway, just tryin` to do the best i can.
As for help with your story, any assistance i can offer no problem. My first suggestion : get yourself a Thesaurus, i didn`t use one here , but they are really a must for the creative writing process..................... Mercy

I would hit him upside the head with it. ;D lol... Because I'm a violent bitch.

Keep it up, mercy.

[annabelle]

You're an awesome writer, Mercy.

I feel kind of dumb though because I honestly have a lot of trouble reading sentences with so many big words strung together. I understand each individual word, but it takes me like a minute to process each sentence. I mostly like to read (and write) stuff that sounds like the way people actually talk.

[Ouch]

To Inigo , my princess bridezilla, a noted thanks and appreciation
Annabelle, just grab a dictionary (or an online one), it gets real boring for the writer if you have to keep writing` "and he said", "then she said","then he said"..... Do not fear the size of the word, fear the power of the word, hehehe.

I completely agree Annabelle. The page just seems to flow more smoothly.

I understand flowery language has it's place and some prefer it but I think the everyday vocabulary is the preferred lexicon for a reason. Over time we've whittled down the language to something functional for the masses and it just stuck. A bad thing? Perhaps.

By the way, not meant to be a slight. Just an observation.
