“…There is the heat of Love, the pulsing rush of Longing, the lover’s whisper, irresistible—magic to make the sanest man go mad.”
Homer, The Iliad
Young lovers kiss each other in the darkness of a sultry night. Their bodies laced together and covered with a sheen of sweat. Breathless from loving with wild abandon. Philippe reaches for Erec’s hand, brings it to his lips and kisses it tenderly. Lips meet and their bodies press more closely to each other. Continuing their lovemaking on a bed made only with a satin sheet. A fan blows humid air over them and they shiver with delight.
Standing at his post, Philippe tries desperately to suppress the smile that crosses his lips while remembering the details of last night.

Thank you Rochelle Wisoff-Fields for hosting Friday Fictioneers. Please be sure to go to her page and read the stories from other writers. We are a rather eclectic group. I welcome kudos and criticism. Bring it on!
Have a great weekend.
Love it. I’m guessing that would be an interesting expression on his face to watch! 🙂
Thanks Penny. I’m thinking you’re right. 🙂
My my…don’t I know exactly what you are talking about! And without anyone thinking this is too much information, a young guard on duty had better not let his dreams wander too far, as he cannot ‘adjust himself’ when standing perfectly still..that I know, and is just a funny fact…
I’m sure there have been plenty of guards that have offered a salute or two with their, ahem, nether regions. 🙂
Um, yeah, um, wow!

Glad you liked it my friend. Wink, wink.
Yep!
Love it. I was smiling with him.
I know you were.
Some dance to remember, darling, and some dance to forget… very hot, Renee…
Thanks Doll. Glad you liked it. 😉
We do have these delightful memories. But can be unfortunate for a bloke.
Especially when more than one body part are standing at attention. 😉
Bucket of water for the guard at the gate. Nicely done.
With a lot of ice. Hahahahaha!
Renee we were both thinking Romance this week, though mine was more staid by comparison… well done
Dee
Thank you Dee. Can’t wait to read yours.
Dear Renee,
Wow. I need a cold shower now. With those thoughts, Philippe is standing at attention on many levels. 😉 Nicely done.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Dear Rochelle,
Glad you liked it. Yes I do believe Philippe is saluting in more ways than one.
Always,
Renee
Well, you went and done it, Renee. Got A 62 year old guy excited! Now WHAT?!!
You aren’t really 62! Maybe you better take your sword in hand??? Hahahahahahahhaa!
Did I say too much?
Giggle, snort!
You did say too much, Renee, but you also read my mind.
Wink, wink.
You guys are bad… and in a public place!
Oh what the hell Ted. Life is short, live it the fuck up!
Fabulous!
Thank you dahlink.
I used to be an art school model. One time one of my fellow models and I were chatting. He mentioned how it would be a little easier to be a woman than a man modeling nude if you got the occasional randy thought (which sometimes happened to ease boredom, and was not at all related to the modeling itself.) I understood his point!
Ah, his point. Hahahaahahahaha. Thanks for your comment my sweet. Glad you’re here.
I think this is an excellent story, Renee.
I think I would substitute ‘satin’ for ‘fitted’ for the sheet… I think ‘fitted breaks up the poetry of your description if their lovemaking. I got a ‘shiver’ when I read it.
I’m glad you liked it. I will be sure to change the word you suggested. I agree, it does continue the ‘poetry’ of the story.
Boy that was a lot to put across in a handful of words. And put it across you did. You need to check out if Mills and Boon are still commissioning.
Thanks for the kind comment sweetheart. Ya think I could really write for Mills and Boon? Isn’t that a little like Harlequin Romance? Giggle, snort.
You’d be giggling till you read the house rules which are many and varied and ridiculous. But if you can crack it, the money is good (so I hear.)
I can’t wait to check it out. 🙂
Delightful .. I’m sure such a night would be hard to hide… 🙂
I do believe you are right sweetheart.
