The Caper

Written in response to Friday Faithfuls:
“Kiss Day”. Here’s my take.

Jim Adams always gives us something to think about! This week at Friday Faithfuls, his timely theme is Valentine’s Week love and, more specifically, “Kiss Day”. Tell me, who doesn’t want and need a little lovin’?

Here’s my story about a couple enjoying a good kiss and the ensuing excitement. Enjoy!

The Caper

He looked real good so I made my move. I walked right up to him, kissing him long and hard on the lips. He pulled me close, groaning as his hands slid up my dress. I could tell he was more than happy to see me, if you get my drift.

“Listen, baby”, he said.“I had a nice gig dealing at a casino up in Buffalo and I made some serious moola running a fool-proof scam. I’m the boxman at this shindig tonight, so if you and me were to double up, we could make a killing.”

It sounded dangerous and exciting. I nibbled his ear and reached between his legs, giving him an approving squeeze. I whispered “I’m in”.

Work first, doll, then I’ll show you how much I missed you” he promised.

He knocked on the door; the peephole opened and immediately slid closed. The door cracked an inch and we were quickly ushered into a back room heavy with the scent of leather, cigars and money.

When this is over and we’re back at my place rolling in dough, you know I’ll be expressing my appreciation. 💋

Thanks to Jim Adams for keeping us aware and on the ball. And thanks to you all for stopping by for a look and a listen.

That’s all she wrote, kids. See you on the flip side. 😎
