I sit and watch, trying to get a hold of feelings I didn't know existed any longer. She is my tiny dancer; the name just seems to fit.
I feel fierce around her, wanting to protect her and to be the only one to totally possess her body and soul. I want to worship her, lose myself in her. I want to drive her out of her mind with desire and then satisfy these wants.
She is so beautiful, with fiery red hair, smoky gray eyes, and skin so white and fair it glows like alabaster. Breasts large and still remarkably firm with thick nipples of rosy pink. She is all that as well as sweet and kind, loving and trusting.
Avid readers, of which I am one, count reading as their main hobby. I didn't use to. What type of person counts such a passive activity as one of their favorite things to do? But as I aged, I realized how much I truly loved to read and stopped trying to justify it. It gives me pleasure, that's all that matters.
Bookshops and libraries are dangerous places for us. One is looking for diversion from the world and retreat into one more amiable for the reader.
We find friends on the shelves. Some are short term while the good ones last a lifetime. Good places can keep us occupied for hours as we wander up one shelf and down another, picking up and examining a volume, replacing the majority which doesn't make the cut.
So it was one day at a local used bookstore. And then I turned the corner, nose buried in a book to which I was giving serious consideration when she ran into me. The book went flying, I staggered back a few feet, and she gave a startled exclamation as her books fell down.
Bending over, I picked up her books and started to hand them to her. I couldn't help smiling inwardly at the titles. Interesting selections, I thought, not cheap romances but definitely ones where the physical side of relationships played a strong part.
