To start us off on the drabble challenge, here's one I prepared earlier...

Sunshine
by Slantedlight

The sun burned when you were out in it too long, everyone knew that. Bodie knew that. He felt the heat across his skin, soaking in, felt it running with his blood. Straight to his core.

Too late to come into the shade now, the damage was done. He had spent his days basking, had turned his face, his body, his world to the glorious shine of it, and now Doyle was his.

Here they lay, tangled together across the bed, and with every movement their skin enflamed each other anew, and the summer night burned slowly through to day.

So, the first word of next drabble/s posted has to be "day"... *g*

Any takers?

Burned by his very own sunshine - love it. And he won't even need sun blocker - just some lube *G*

Love the image you ran with here - a very erotic way to use sun, shade and burning in just 100 words.

Beautifully erotic and a great play on sunshine. :)

I *still* really love this piece. It's almost like you're weaving some intricate pattern with the words or dancing with them - can't explain *what* I mean, but it's very powerful, seductive and very clever.

Well, quite... *g*

Thank you!

Thank you! *g* (And I love your icon - very... early eighties, somehow!)

Ah, thank you! *vbg*

I know, it was really cheating re-posting it, but my head hurted this morning, and I just couldn't write a new one for love nor... well, probably not even for money, though I might have given it a better go... *headdesk*

And thank you!
