#TantalizingTuesdays and My Future (well not mine but you know what I mean)

So a bit different, and hello yes it's me again.

This week, I'm giving you something you might hate me for.

His Future

(Source pinterest)

This time it would be different. This time I would ask, not plunder.

This time

I told her as she begged me not to go ahead. She was mine.

To my shame, taken by me, as my tribe decreed.

To my shame.

I took, I left.

Now it will be different. I promise myself that.

I keep my vows.

The boat surges ahead. I hold on, the rope around my hand keeps the fender ready.

I’ve missed her. Pleasured myself with her name on my lips.

Forced myself to wait until I can be with her forever.

My Cordelia. My lady of the sea.

I land and stride to the village. Eager to see my love once more.

The wailing greets me.

Where is my lady?

I look toward the church.

A coffin sits outside.

My stomach clenches. The priest sees me and walks over.

‘My lord.’ His old lined face stares at me with pity. ‘She is gone.’

 I walk around him. To gaze at my lifeless love.

‘How?’ I could say no more.

‘By giving you your future.’

I spin round. A white haired crone hands me a wriggling bundle.

My future stares at me, farts and smiles.

So, there's, me, Doris O'Connor here and my alter ego Katy Lilley here who have decided to tease you here.

Enjoy,

Happy Reading,

love Raven x

#TantalizingTuesdays: Remember the Rules

Yes, okay don’t faint, I’m here.

It’s been a while I admit, but here’s my #TantalizingTuesdays offering.

Remember the Rules

(source, pinterest)

They always told her…be careful where you tread. Take your time, think of where you are, remember the rules.

Remember the rules

Damn she hated rules.

The water called to her, beckoned her closer.

A siren song.

The path was marked by those footsteps in the earth. The ones that made her wonder what if.

Her steps faltered, she stood—almost on the bridge—almost ready to take those that final act.

Steps to where?

Her future? Her past?

“Your present.” His voice curled around her, whispered to her.

“Why?”

“You know why.” The mist created dancing patterns in the air, slid over the water and waited.

Like he did?

“Freya.”

 Oh that voice.

“Freya you know what to do.”

She hesitated.

The water danced.

The mist shimmered.

 He laughed. “Or not. Up to you my love, up to you. I’m stuck. I can’t help you.”

Silence.

The air shimmered and then she saw.

The hand...his hand.

 It beckoned, begging, pleading. “Your choice, love. I can’t make you."

My choice.

“My choice,” she said firmly. "Mine.”

He laughed. Low and enticing. Long and arousing.

Freya stepped forward.

Into the void.

Into his arms.

“Now”

No triumph.

Just relief.

Into his world.

#TT the eyes

Would it be kinder just to walk away. Let her go.

Forget everything they had.

Maybe.

He knew he wouldn’t. Not now, not yet.

Instead he lurked. Ready. Waiting.

Until…

It was time to declare his love.

Tal began to move.

 Kim had the itch.

 The one that meant something was about to happen.

She pushed her glasses up her nose. For the umpteenth time wondered where her lenses were. She was damned sure she’d left them in their box by the bathroom sink.

They weren’t there when she got up.

Now sixteen hours later, she was tired, irritable and sick of squinting.

The specs were well out of date.

‘You look so cute, petal when you wrinkle your nose like that.”

 That voice. That bloody infuriating voice.

Kim spun round so fast her glasses lost contact with her nose and slid of her face.

 He caught them, one handed and bowed.

“You need to get these fixed.”

 “Or find my lenses which seem to have mysteriously disappeared.”

 “I like you naked apart from your specs.”

 “And I like you naked with…”  Kim stared at his deep piercing green eyes

“Tal you bastard you’ve got my lenses in.”

“Oops. Busted.”

#TT and The way to Go

The Way to Go

200 words, a picture of my choice and it's Tantalising Tuesdays. Are you ready?

for

The Way to Go...

It was easy. Almost too easy he thought. One deep breath and there it was. Sharp, purple, violent…

There he was.

He smiled as his breath increased in density and speed. The lights flickered and faded and came back faster and deeper than ever before.

Almost there.

Are you ready? He was, was she?

Cabron shut his eyes and concentrated. Her face filled his mind her mind met his. Troubled, uncertain, but open to him and his needs.

Sarita.

His future as long as…

 As what?

Time to go.

Cabron stood, inhaled and exhaled once more to increase the light, the noise and the anticipation.

Sarita stirred, rolled over and smiled.

The smile of a houri. The way of his future.

If all went well, he would be…

Do not think about it, just do it. Do it…One last breath, one violent purple streak of lightning and he slid to earth.

To where Sarita slept. Slept in anticipation of him, his presence and oh yes… this…

Cabron bent his head, and moved closer. As if she knew what he wanted she stirred and bared her neck.
The triumphant roll of thunder and crack of lightning told him it was time.
