Free Book Friday (with a side of Funny)

A FRIDAY FUNNY

He grasped me, firmly but gently just above my elbow, and guided me into a room.  His room. Then he quietly shut the door and we were alone.

He approached me soundlessly from behind and spoke in a low, reassuring voice close to my ear.  “Just relax.”

Without warning, he reached down, and I felt his strong, calloused hands start at my ankles, gently probing, moving upward along my calves, slowly but steadily. My breath caught in my throat.  I knew I should be afraid, but somehow I didn’t care. His touch was so experienced, so sure.

When his hands moved up onto my thighs, I gave a slight shudder, and partly closed my eyes. My pulse was pounding.

I felt his knowing fingers caress my abdomen, my ribcage. And then, as he cupped my firm, full breasts in his hands, I inhaled sharply.

Probing, searching, knowing what he wanted, he brought his hands to my shoulders, slid them down my tingling spine and into my panties.

Although I knew nothing about this man, I felt oddly trusting and expectant.

This is a man, I thought. A man used to taking charge.

A man not used to taking No for an answer.

A man who would tell me what he wanted.

A man who would look into my soul and say…

“Okay, ma’am, you can board your flight now.”

  10. Mary Kirkland says:

    I think it would be funny to see a kitty inside a large hamster ball, running along side the hamsters…lol

    FBF, I’d love to win the book.

    • Heidi says:

      Hey, Mary—welcome back! It’s been a while since you’ve popped in to hang with us.

      And it’s more like a kitteh inside a ball running *after* the hamsters instead of along side them. :ROFL

  11. Heidi says:

    Okay, I have a confession… I kind of like tramp stamps. Depends on the tattoo, of course, but I’d probably get one myself if I weren’t such a baby about the needle part. :crying

    • Hollie says:

      Oh Heidi…my 77yo auntie just got one put on her ankle…a black kitteh! Next year when we go to NY we are going to have a tattoo party and we’re all gonna get one!! Im still deciding on mine…Im thinking maybe a ball of yarn with some knitting needles…
      but it will not be a tramp stamp or a “ho-tag”.
      and yes liquor will be involved! hahahahaha

  12. Debra G says:

    Happy FBF day!! I have so many allergies that my allergist told me to never get a tattoo.

    • Heidi says:

      That’s my fear, actually. Took a year & a half for my last ear piercing to heal up, so I have huge fear of what would happen to me w/ a tattoo. I’d probably lose a leg! :scared

  13. SiNn says:

    • Heidi says:

      I think tats are hot, too! Well, okay, it depends on what & where, but for the most part, I like them a lot. On other people. Esp. hot, well-built men. :eyelashes
