Between Courses

Neville

Between Courses

 

Between courses

and from somewhere behind ..

He drizzled wild honey

from the nape

of her neck to the V at the very

base of her spine ..

Then they made love there

and then

at the table and showered

together until

the water ran cool and the

salt flower flowered ..

What then remained

of the evening

was casually frittered away ..

Dining on oysters

and local wild fruits ..

While sipping chilled dessert wine

from cracked champagne flutes ..

    A chipped champagne flute glass! Now that just won't do! Very observant with all that is about you Nev. Good man.

      Depends entirely on the way one looks at it, sometimes it's a blessing but it can also be something of a curse 🙂

          Deeply rich and reflective write, Nev. Filled me with nostalgia seasoned with just the merest pinch of envy........

          (As a diabetic, the honey would have shot my BSL to pieces.....🙂)

              I think I saw you thrown around her shoulders one evening after drinks when she found you slumped over the back of a chair & mistook you for her faux fur stole .. I guess it could have been a lot worse though for both of ya .. she could have thought you were her muff .. oops sorry Fido 🙂
