Not Alone

Bored and alone
Dangerous combination

Neck cranes
Left
Right
Left again

Yes, alone

Tongue moistens lips
Fingertips slide across
Pulling down
Ever so softly

One hand slips south
Eyes close
Memories, fantasies, and fingers dance provocatively

Kneed and pull at warmth

The moment
Just before
Like the ocean pulling back before a tidal wave

Hold it
Revel in it

The release
Letting the weight fall away
The water crashes onto the shore

“Ahem”

Eyes flash open

Significant Other stands
A wry smile
“Can’t I leave the two of you alone for five seconds?”
