The Ride


Gina and I are participating in the Trifecta Week 51 Anniversary Challenge, where we are each supposed to write a 33-100 word composition which completes the story provided in italics below. Here is the first installment.



Charts and optimal dates and preferential temperatures. One line or two. As if she could summon whatever it is that makes up the human soul as easily as she could a cab on a busy New York avenue.

 
To Matt, all that scientific stuff sounded like bullshit; he just missed her too much! He hired a limo to pick up Becky at La Guardia and planned a romantic night in Manhattan.  They kissed as she got in the limo.  But he couldn’t keep his hands off her; he ran his hand up her thigh, past the hem of her short, black skirt. He kissed her neck and breasts and progressed until his lips met his fingers, her skirt now being up around her waist. As Becky slid down in the seat, he placed his weight on her body.

    well that's one way to do it, *ahem* and to a seasoned infertile like me, that is something I wanted quite a bit, the chance to just screw.

    I liked it, it was sexy and "hopeful".

    Nice work.

    1. Jeez, Kir, I was afraid I went over the top and you come up with the "...chance to just screw..." line!!! I'm blushing (not really)! As a father of three, I went through the temperature routine, although we ultimately had no difficulty getting pregnant. But I thought all that was decidedly un-sexy, so this was the only direction I could go with this. I'm glad you like it. I just hope Gina does.

  4. Thanks Gina, I think! All I did was try to imagine what you would write, then I toned it down a bit. ;)

  5. Nice use of "clinical" terms - planning and progress - for something completely different. Certainly left Gina with a hot potato.

    1. I may be showing my occupation, though I really try to avoid that. No doubt, Gina has a very hot potato. Thanks Kymm.

    1. Give me another 100, or even 50 words, and I'll give you more. But Gina will accommodate, I'm sure.

  10. Whew! That was so unexpected for some reason! I can't wait to see how Gina follows it up. Favorite sting of words: and progressed until his lips met his fingers. Nice.

    1. Thank you Jennifer. I'm glad you liked that string of words, I was worried that they were too obscure or weird or something.

  11. Sometimes, in a contest such as this, as in real life, the spontaneous, ballsy choice is the best path to follow. Congratulations for being bold and forthright in your decision-making. Looking forward to Gina's response. Good work, Lumdog.

  16. Nice work! I wasn't really expecting it, although the prompt was about baby-making, so I shouldn't be surprised at all :) Definitely better than some of the recent Harlequin scenes I've read!
