BLOOD RED



 .... the label said, and as she applied, she
could not get the image from her head: His
shoulders, his back, she gouges, she shreds,
digging deep, as they writhe and heave in sweat
drenched sheets, deep in throws of bodies' heat. He suspects she wants his wife to know, and what
better way than signing your claim with carmine
claws? Her signature piece, soon to bleed complete.
Blood Red it shall be... nails, lips, pedi, bed. The
trap, set, he senses, going willingly, wantonly,
wherever she decides, whatever price the ride.
She'll lick his wounds, owning him tonight.
