I think this era, more than any other, is highly conducive to women truly defining womanhood according to their own inner wisdom. Jane is one such woman who has gone through life not really acknowledging "woman" in the sum of who she is, though she is frequently reminded. Here's another nibble from this story as it unfolds.
Enjoying the winter stars and moons on the front porch of the chill night and sipping brindleberry wine, Jane was surprised by the feel of a firm hand on her bottom. Who would dare?Perhaps not a sizzling offering, but one that promises the sensual and romance. Jane, from last week's snippet, will finally be forced to acknowledge her womanness. The part of herself she's never befriended. She never wanted to be like the women around her, but are they really exemplary of completely fulfilled womanhood. There's more to come. See you next week for Horny Hump Day.
Coyn, smelling sweetly of brindleberry wine and wood smoke and something else which stirred her blood, filled the emptiness beside her, "I wondered where the only true woman in the room had wondered off to."

There are many things I like about this bit you're sharing. The words are carefully chosen. I find "filled the emptiness beside her" to be a great phrase. Well done, Grinnie.

ReplyDeletecarrie-anne, glad you stopped in. thanks. i find scent so essential in day to day life let alone in sex. nothing like the smell of fresh sweat on a man just in from the gym (b4 it gets rank).
