Two this week because they're both so short and because I wanted to write a poem.
Foreplay
Thunder and a sudden rain storm, or was that her heart and loins? She could feel every wet inch of him through his clothing, crouching, grinding her heat to his, her lips to his. They were driven, beaten, hammered by the pouring drops, everything falling together, the blood running fiercely through them, and drenched in the sky that kept crashing down around them and upon them. Make the rain last, she prayed, as they slid down the embankment into the mud, uncaring. Make it last.
Erosion
the sky is a smith
shaping with rain
like wrought metal
driven
beaten
hammered
showing every shining tool mark
did they emerge from the earth
under the sculptor's tools
or are they imperfections
soon to wash away
too much movement for static sculpture
too still to be dancing
Two. Because I'm carrying your dead weight, all you people who don't do Flash Fiction Friday. Don't you feel even the slightest bit guilty that you're not participating? For all those people who are participating, you're like unto gods with your mad skillz and I have no hope of eclipsing your talent.
Not too weird this week; just a bit of my blacksmith fetish creeping into the second one. I hope everyone else's are much more inventive.

Well done Lexi, ya big show-off doing two! I lost my mojo this week and simply couldn't rise to the occasion. I blame the hot weather.
Anyway, nice FFF entries both

I like both entries!! But I love foreplay a lot.
dont feel the least bit guilty ;)but i am grateful that i get the pleasure of reading yours
I'm in awe that you're able to write TWO entries. Two very hot and awesome entries. ;-)
I would be happy to claim the title of "like unto gods" with skills that far eclipse yours if it weren't for the fact that it were so clearly bollocks. You're a magnificent writer and I'm damned glad each week that you're joining us. Thanks for playing along, and for the relentless plugging as well.

Jeez, I try to compliment people, and what do I get? You're all aces in my book, and as soon as I get around to the others sometime this evening, I'll be able to prove empirically that I was right and that you're all better than I am.
"Make it last"
Magic moments never last long enough, do they. I like both versions, the "blacksmith" coming out is wonderful, a woman who plays fire, steel, and a hammer is a sexy beast.
Poetry rocks.
Blacksmith fetish? I like it!

Nice Lexi! I like the prelude to the story.

A bit late, but I enjoyed both of these none the less... something primal and alluring with both. I like the vignette painted with the poem... you should do more.
Don't worry about the two-fers done it numerous times myself.
Happy Thursday!
