βCare to buy me a steak, handsome?β
βBaby, Iβd buy you the whole cow.β

βHey, Daryl! Phil! Get a load of this!β neighed Ed as he stared over Bess and Elsie’s fence onto the country road. βDo they really think theyβre capable of running? On two legs?? If that don’t beat all!β
βWhat the heck are they doing?β asked Daryl.
βTheyβre jogging; humans run around all bandy-legged with arms flailing, getting sweaty, going nowhere in particular and looking pretty dumb while doing it.β Ed explained.
Phil trotted over. βYeah. I read about these idiots in βHorse Beautifulβ. Itβs some kind of craze, far as I can tell …. some sort of asinine exercise routine.β
βWhoa, whoa, whoa! Look at what we got coming this way, gentlemen. Now thatβs some fine-looking little filly!β exclaimed Ed.
βCheck out those tiny shorts sheβs wearing. She can ride me bareback any time she wants!β Phil declared.
βMan, now thatβs one stacked number! I could watch her jog and bounce around all day!β Daryl smacked his lips.
βHey! What are you three stud farm rejects doing all this way from the barn?β It was Barkley, the yellow lab who lived on the ranch. βFarmer Brownβs gonna have a cow if he hears you jumped the fence again! Best get yourselves back home before someone notices youβre gone. Cβmon! Giddy-up, boys!β
βBuzz kill!β snorted Ed and the trio took off.
βBunch of jackasses!β Barkley yowled indignantly. βWell, good riddance to them and woof to you, my sexy lady. You jog by here often? Have I got a bone for you!β

challenged to incorporate the prompt word βmoveβ
into a story of exactly six sentences. Hereβs my six.

He looked real good so I made my move and 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 and I could tell he was more than happy to see me, if you get my drift.
βListen, babyβ, he said sotto voce, βI had a nice gig dealing at a casino up in Buffalo and I made some serious moola running a fool-proof scam; Iβm dealing here tonight so if you and me were to double up, we could make a killing.β
It sounded dangerous and exciting. I nibbled his ear and reached between his legs, giving him an approving squeeze, and whispered βIβm inβ.
βWork first, then Iβll show you how much I missed youβΒ he promised as I knocked on the door; the peephole opened and immediately slid closed, then the door cracked an inch and we were quickly ushered into a back room heavy with the scent of leather, cigars and money.

Moonspell: A Haibun
Written for Mindlovemiseryβs Menagerie Photo Challenge #513,
Weekly Prompts Colour Challenge (orange), Moonwashed Weekly
Prompt (hazy moon) & Weekly Prompts Wednesday Challenge (regret)

I was lost, a bit frightened and filled with regret for not making a note of the address. A hazy moon began to make her appearance in the evening sky, leaving the tiny Palermo street awash in a warm orange glow. Squinting in the darkness, I saw what appeared to be a tunnel at the end of the street; there was no way I was going to walk into the black unknown. Slowly I inched closer and discovered the tunnel was actually a stairway. Just as I quickened my pace, an arm shot out of a hidden doorway and pulled me inside, pinning me against a wall. A deep voice I knew intimately whispered in honeyed Sicilian tones “PicchΓ¬ ci haiu misu tantu tempu, amuri miu? Ti vogghiu beni!”ΒΊ Passionate kisses drifted down my neck. Breathless, I murmured “I’m here now, my love. Show me.”
Kiss me now, my love,
In the warm glow of the moon
You possess my heart

Angel Eyes
Written for The Unicorn Challenge
where we are asked to be creative in 250 words or less,
using this photo as our inspiration. Here is my story.

It was Friday night and my paycheck was burning a hole in my pocket. As it turns out, my on again/off again boyfriend, Jagger, was off again so I was free as the proverbial bird. Just as well; I was getting tired of the slouch anyway. But it was New Yearβs Eve 1946 and I didnβt want to be alone.
Anxious to hit the tables and ring in the new year, I got myself all dolled up in an outfit that was quite possibly illegal in 33 states β a lowcut slinky little black number with a high side slit, silk stockings with lacy garters and red satin stilettos. Maybe Iβd run into a high roller ready, willing and monetarily able to treat me to a bourbon, a thick juicy steak and a slice of pie a la mode.
I grabbed a taxi to the casino, the driver giving me the once-over in the rearview. I wasnβt interested in any two-bit palooka so I played it cool. Averting my eyes, I glanced out the window, snuggled deeper into my fur coat and lit a Chesterfield. The smoke encircled my head and my bright red lipstick left a perfect kiss around the filter.Β
When we arrived, I tossed a fiver at the cabbie and stepped out onto the sidewalk. The staccato of my heels alerted the man in black .β¦ Special Agent Sam Bishop.
βEvening, Candace. Youβre looking angelic, if you donβt mind my saying. I donβt suppose youβve heard from Jagger.β

ONE FOR THE ROAD

We were driving down iconic Route 66 in our convertible Volkswagen Jetta on our way from Chicago to Santa Monica, California, everything we owned being towed in a small rented U-Haul. In the backseat on the floor behind us, sleeping in his carrying case, was our bulldog puppy, Ringo.
Weβd been on the same stretch of road without seeing another soul for what seemed like an eternity β nothing but miles of tall corn and wheat fields swaying in the breeze. We talked about everything, especially opening our new veterinary practice β a huge step in our professional lives but one we were ready for. Our real estate agent sent us photos of our new office with the name boldly printed in black lettering on a light grey awning: Peterson’s Planned PetHood. πββ¬
Rummaging through the glove box looking for a snack bar, I came across The Beatles White Album. βHey, look what I foundβ I said, showing the CD to my husband, Doc.
βExcellent! Put it on, Babe.β
Opening the case, I discovered a long-forgotten joint, crushed but still viable. βWhoa! Check it out. This CD comes with a bonus track!β
We lit up, the stale weed snapping and popping as it burned. Even the smallest of tokes resulted in fits of coughing but we still got a decent buzz on. The CD was an incredible find; with each mile down the road we got a little bit higher and a little bit louder singing along to the tunes.
And then there it was β the unmistakable intro of funky get-down guitar slaps and drum beats leading into βWhy Donβt We Do It In The Road?β. We were grooving in our seats, thumping on the car doors, digging the hell out of that song.
Doc pulled the car over onto the shoulder. Lowering his sunglasses down his nose, he looked at me seductively and started singing βNo one will be watching us, why donβt we do it in the road?β
βHave you lost your mind? What are you … some horny teenager?β
βWell, you’re half right, Iβll give ya that. Here we sit … a hot banging Beatles song playing, my incredibly sexy wife in a miniskirt and plenty of road. Listen. Paulβs practically begging us to get out of this car and do it IN THE ROAD!β
“Your know, we can get plenty cozy right here IN the car” I suggested, slowly stretching my legs on the dashboard.Β
Doc laughed and leaned over to kiss me, whispering βWeβve done it IN the car β¦ a lot. Cβmon, Becca!Β Β Letβs get down [*kiss*]Β and dirtyΒ [*kiss*]Β and do it in the roadΒ [*long hot kiss*].Β
It didn’t take much for me and doc to turn each other on. Pushing the βREPEATβ button on the CD player, he grabbed a blanket from the back seat and we ran to the rear of the car. Laughing, I wriggled out of my panties and wrapped my legs around Doc’s waist as we eased ourselves to the ground.
Just as Paul let loose with the high note, we heard an “Ahem” and froze. Glancing sideways, we saw the shiniest pair of black boots standing two feet from our car. A man’s voice said βPardon me, folks. Trooper Matthew Blake, Oklahoma Highway Patrol. Just as soon as youβre finished checking that tow hitch, I suggest you best be on your way.βΒ And he walked back to his patrol car humming βWhy Donβt We Do It In The Road?β.
As he drove by our car, Trooper Blake gave us two short beeps of his horn. We sheepishly got back into our car and continued our journey to Santa Monica. What a lovely little rest stop that had been!
After a few months living in our new digs, doing some online research and making a few calls, I finally discovered the address for the Oklahoma Highway Patrol location of Trooper Matthew Blake. I prepared a small mailing box with a shiny new pair of Ray-Bans and a mini photo of our infant son. A small card read:
“One For the Road”
Gratefully ~ Doc, Becca and Matthew Blake Peterson
πΆοΈ
I smiled imagining what that trooper’s reaction would be when he read our son’s name.

FRENCH KISSING LIFE

There is a place somewhere called Paris
And Iβm going there on vacation today;
A city where every useless worry or care is
Forgotten and carelessly tossed away.
I donβt need to see the Eiffel Tower
Or pray at CathΓ©drale Notre-Dame.
Iβd happily pick a delicate wildflower
Or caress a charming manβs arm.
Iβd love to stroll through PΓ©re Lachaise,
Have a chat at the grave of Jim Morrison.
Iβd play him some tunes like Jimiβs βPurple Hazeββ,
Just dishing the dirt with that sexy rapscallion.
You won’t catch me near the Seine for dinner;
Much too highbrow and touristy for me.
Seat me at a bar with the saint or the sinner;
Weβll close the place down at quarter past three.
Mona Lisa is enigmatic in a gilt frame so fine
But the thought of the Louvre is a total bore.
Iβd rather be laughing in a park drinking wine
Or sharing a smoke on a bench with a whore.
I’ve got nothing to hide; it’s far from a secret:
When it comes to Parisian men Iβm a big flirt.
The playboys in the square whisper βCome, be my petβ
And I purr βOui, oui, mon cheri! Who will it hurt?”
There is a place somewhere called Paris
And Iβm going there on vacation today.
I’ll give life a sultry lingering French kiss;
When Iβm in Paris I like to do things my way.
