Quietly (collab with audio)

Spoken word by Tom Alexander and Bree Leto

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.

    speaks to the strength of my desire’ Wonderful lines ST.
    The collaboration is fantabulous. The emotions from the voice can be felt and its lovely to hear both parties sync.

    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!!!!

    1. 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 😜

    Amazing collab, Secret! I enjoyed it very much, esp the line ‘my fingers click, my toes make fists” is just very well written. The whole piece was dripping with sexual tension & energy. Kudos to you and Tom for a great performance.

    1. 😂😂😂 We hoped to make it a little steamy for y’all 😉

      Tom is a fantastic writer and he actually penned those lines (clever man). Thanks for your feedback about the audio too, we plan on doing more… If only we can focus on one idea at a time 😁
