    Sexy Sneaky Spirit

    Closing my eyes to sleep in the dark cold of tonight
    Almost gone to the other side…
    I feel you sitting at the edge of the bed… staring at me
    Suddenly, your fingers down my face… I smile
    Gathering my hair in your hands, pulling me to your lips… we kiss
    Red-blooded tingle up and down my spine
    I melt like ice in your hands…
    Wind-whistling love songs through tinny leaves
    Fingering the strings on my gown… releasing me masterfully
    You’re feeling heavenly and you’ve got my attention!
    Kissing breathlessly… tastes so good
    Fierce as a lightning rod, turn me around and whip me with your love
    Exhilarating!
    I cry out in a sweet, succulent, passionately painful yes!
    Rattling bed, begging you… while the storm fights the night
    Muffled pleas for more… you give it to me just how I like it!
    Creaking floor boards whispering good bye…

    Haunted by Your Touch,

    Empress Ultra Violet
