Hot and Sticky

by Alison McKenzie

Your shirt was, of course
Hot and sticky
The day we pulled into Houston.
The car overheated,
There was no way to use the air conditioner,
And the kids were screaming in the back seat.

I couldn’t help it.
The hint of muscles rippling
Under the moisture,
Damp tendrils;
Beaded sweat on your brow;
I should have been miserable, too
But I could only think of one thing.

Blithely suggesting a hotel
I thought the kids could take a break
While we,
Wet bodies writhing,
Generated just a little more heat
Making a new chapter in our
"Once upon a passion’s"
Storybook of us.

Author's Note: Just my imagination working overtime. Hehe.

Aww, that's nice. good to write out fantasies, they can often be elusive since they happen in that half-dream state.

I like the images, of physical release from the stress of travel. Very nice erotic implication without being overt.
