Her fingers became my fingers.Exploring those places we want so much to share between us.<BR/>I felt as though she was in my arms and I was holding her close.<BR/>Hearing all those sounds of intimacy from her soul to her lips to my ear.<BR/>All our feelings just exploded into a tryst. A loving, special tryst. So we just held each other; lips to ear - ear to lips.<BR/>Professing our love without speaking a word. It was all in her sigh,,her coo. A tryst it was, gentle and sweet. Something only we could experience. Something only we should keep.<BR/>My lover was patient, she was very, very sweet.

Then again, I'm in a serious reading slump right now & surfing isn't cutting into readinig time. *big sigh* Sometimes it's enough to make a body wish for the good old days. ;(Bob & Muffintophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12517851052183148808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11597422.post-1153851148817766202006-07-25T14:12:00.000-04:002006-07-25T14:12:00.000-04:00While I don't really know what you're talking abou...While I don't really know what you're talking about, I can certainly guess, because that kind of thing is rampant with all kinds of book/author blogs, not just romance writers. Sometimes we don't need to know how the sausage is made, you know? (And no, that's not a dirty euphemism.) But I think too many authors are tempted to be too honest, when we readers just want to be able to enjoy the stories and books in general.

But even if I had time or energy, I would keep away... because these debates: a)lessen the fun in reading and b) burst my bubbles... I don't consider authors as goddesses, but as statues/ strangers... I like their work, but I don't want to know about their real-life flaws.nathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02626894830238717124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11597422.post-1153845758069322262006-07-25T12:42:00.000-04:002006-07-25T12:42:00.000-04:00Ames, watching from the sidelines still requires t...Ames, watching from the sidelines still requires time and I find myself being sucked in.<BR/><BR/>Bev, keep up with the ones being irate--LOL.
