Showdown


"Do you remember me?" I ask dryly I hope it stings you push your sleeves up exercising your ability, however unaware to seduce me with merely the forearm a raised eyebrow dark narrowed eyes and your head cocked like a curious dog [The mailman reaction, the doorbell, and me: the stray cat] yes, a spoiled pooch this meant with the utmost respect godless forbid you lose face ignoring the question [I knew you would] you look me up and down hawking your temptation circling the options deep consideration give in, I dare you Love me forever or better yet, walk away for if you refuse the latter our animal instincts the ticking charade the flailing truth will begin all over again it's really your choice, you know I'm naked on the wings of your gaze awake or asleep
