You’ve been sitting there quietly
Care to share your thoughts?
This infatuation has me
I wore your scarf to keep me warm
I could smell you there
snaking all around me
Feeling like a teenager
in the grip of some sweet crush
I watched you
observing me with such indecent eyes
drawing me into your spell
My scarf, which you so casually
wrapped around you
had me burning with jealousy
I’m uncomfortable
seeing you
sitting in front of me with your silk lips
a drink in your hand
and a sultry laugh filling the air
I’m so frustrated by the distance
my fingers click, my toes make fists
Whole body bends to inch closer
The slang in your eyes
speaks to the strength of my desire
I’m so wired, in the heat of the night
I want your fabric against mine
I was quietly thinking to myself
the only remedy
to all of this would be
kissing your mouth, kissing your throat
and a week in bed with you…
I was quietly thinking to myself
you should race me home
so our bodies
can lock magnetically together
for a week
or three…
I think it’s time we called a cab and left
This is my first collaboration with Tom Alexander and I’ve gotta say it won’t be the last. We wanted to create an alluring ‘night out’ for you (particularly for those in lockdowns) and we hope you enjoyed what we dreamed up. Thanks Tom for getting up to creative mischief with me; you are one talented writer, voice actor and audio editor. You can enjoy more of Tom’s brilliant Spoken Words on his SoundCloud account.

Wow! Such a Great Collaboration!!! Beautifully blended and elegantly seductive, Mmmm, Mmmm, Mmmm!! Especially, loved the ending lines:
“I was quietly thinking to myself

Loved the sensuous and sexy thoughts so deliciously penned! I’m thinking we need to read/hear the next two sequels – The Cab Ride and Three Weeks In Bed??? Yum!
Kudos to you both!!!!

Haha, thank you so much for your support Chuck. We did enjoy weaving this piece together. I’m not sure we should hear the next two sequels 🤭😅 They’re probably not appropriate for us to read about 😜
