I need you so badly right now
For the first time in five days I came home with a severe hunger for you
The kind of primal need that has me noticing each strand of hair the wind is sweeping across my neck
The pieces that slip beneath my collar and cause me to suck in my breath and then let it go in a want inspired, almost pained sounding groan
Those few hairs kissing the base of my neck leaving my body tense but pliable
Erect but with the right touch….your touch, ready to melt into soft puddles in your hand
I distract myself with dinner
I distract myself with dinner
The chopping of tomatoes for the salad
The course feeling of kosher salt between my fingers
The burring of my bare hands in the bowl
Slippery and firm tomato flesh
Gooey seeds
The salt induced releasing of fluid
My hips pressed firm against the counter as my fingers get lost in a bowl of sensual texture
The way my lips part, anxious and ready for the surrendered tomato moisture that drips from the tips of my fingers
My tongue lapping up the fruits of the salt’s labor….
My mind so far from dinner that I find myself blushing
I pour myself a glass of my go to cool weather dinner making wine, Madeira
I pour myself a glass of my go to cool weather dinner making wine, Madeira
It falls clunky and clumsy on my aching palate
The sweetness coming off stupid
Lazy
Boring
Just enough “meh” to turn my focus back to food and forget, just for a moment the neck kissing hair, the groan and the course salt that made those tomatoes ooze
Back to chopping
Back to chopping
Hunks of crusty bread
My knife slicing through dense crumbly, crackling crust then sailing through the doughy soft interior
The slight cackle as a stick of butter bubbles away on my stove top
The garlic and herbs releasing their oils, opening, splitting and melting into the bubbling cauldron
Bread cubes tossed on a sheet pan
A swish of the pan
One more moment alone before
I dump the warm, rich herb infused buttery mixture over the waiting cubes
My hands once again tossing
Being coated
Saturated but this time with fatty richness, sharp piquant seasoning, soft interior and hard crunchy crust
I feel my groan aching to escape
Begging to be inspired
I dump my Madeira and pour myself a glass of Chablis
I dump my Madeira and pour myself a glass of Chablis
A Chablis that has been….pressing my hips against the counter for weeks now but
Flat
Felt flat
Too stark after the Madeira and
Not making me feel anything….
Dinner finished
Dinner finished
A few bites and picking but
Wasn’t what I wanted
What I needed
A Carpano vermouth cocktail was tasty but also not what I craved
I jumped into a sample bottle of Champagne
Just sure that my forever lover would be able to slip inside me and find that spot that makes me wiggle beneath my skin
Not
Not
Fuck
Whimpering….
I am going to bed
Neck nibbled
Body erect and ready to be salted….
My moisture so ready, so agonizingly ready to be released
Frustrated…..
Not Madeira, not Chablis, not Champagne, not......

ReplyDeleteVicki,
ReplyDeleteNot sure anything would have done it last night...although I suspect that I was aching for something more opulent, richer, sexier. Such a bummer.
Michael,
Oh no! Darlin' I didn't mean to creep you out. Sorry baby, I had not posted in so long, my words were stuffed beneath my nasty ass cold and this was what poured out of me last night. Needed to get back on the horse as it were. I will try and clean it up for next time....maybe. Kisses to you and when are you and Kelly getting your asses out here?!
Excellently descriptive. I could taste and feel everything.
ReplyDeleteMiddle Child,
ReplyDeleteWell welcome to my own Day of Crazy. Thanks so much for stopping by and for "seeing" what it is I was going through. Just had a dear friend, someone that is with me like 5 days out of 7 read this and tell me, "I feel like I'm blushing" so I so appreciate you taking a moment to post this and soothe my very naked feeling feathers. Sending you a fist pump from one middle child to another...
If my wife hadn't given me the cold, I might have enjoyed this post, but I cannot focus my eyes--they hurt!
ReplyDeleteThis is one nasty cold...
Must still have the lingering effects of your cold.
ReplyDeleteAnother Day of Crazy,
ReplyDeleteThank you or I'm sorry...not sure which applies here.
Thomas,
OH NO! Get better soon you poor thing.
TWG,
Think it might have been....feeling much better and will be spending this afternoon at a grower Champagne tasting just to make sure. Wish me luck!
You can NOT make me read something like this at work ever again.
ReplyDeleteWayne,
ReplyDeleteWell that made me laugh out loud so thank you for that. I've been asked to tame down my photos by people that read from work and are concerned that their coworkers will think they are viewing "questionable" material, but I dig the pictures and think they add...something, so they will be staying for now.
Thanks for reading and commenting, hope you stick around for a while.
Bloody hell Sam! I think you blew out my V-chip. There's simply no going back to PG-13 ever again, not that you were ever there. I think my laptop has melted. I think I need a nap now. Cheers!
ReplyDeletek2,
ReplyDeleteShit, I must be numb in my tingly bits because I didn't think this one was that saucy. Maybe it was the "lapping"...
Samantha,
ReplyDeleteI promise I'll behave better here than I do at Louisville Juice.
The bottle you were looking for is André Brunel's 2008 Les Cailloux. André teased us with a bottle at dinner in June and I have been waiting for release. It's here now and I've sought comfort in its arms repeatedly. Really surprising because I'm usually attracted to age and maturity but it offers so much more right now than the '07. Slick, silky entry, and long, with a firm, persistent finish.
Wally,
ReplyDeleteBehave anyway you wish, not sure you noticed but there aren't many rules around this joint. Not sure the Brunel would have been able to salt me that night, thinking the only thing that might have done it would have involved a bottle of something luscious like Billiot or Saves, maybe an older red Burgundy and just the right person to share it with...
