Flesh

 Raw emotion and lust crawling up their skins.The hotness of the night only amplified the tension in the air and the room felt all too small for them.Pieces of clothing scattered around the floor,on the nightstand,covering the red Amaryllis on the verge of blooming.What a mess.
 The smell of alcohol was strong;probably vodka or tequilla.A muffled scream,a slap,two hoarse voices emerging from the darkness,a hand reaching out to turn on the lamp on the nightstand,a dim,yellow light slightly iluminating the room.
 "Tie me up and you're a dead man."
 *chuckles*"Really now.I am very afraid.See how I tremble?"
 "Put the fucking rope down,goddamn it.I'm not joking."
 "You know you like it."The smug look he showed her sent her mind in a rage.So when he tried to get a hold of her hands,she raised her head from the pillow and sinked her teeth into the flesh of his biceps.Hard.
"Shit.That hurts like hell." He almost jumped.
 "Liar."Now it was her time to grin slyly.
 What followed next was a mess of hands,moans,legs,scratching and biting,the smell of blood persistent in the air.
 "Don't think you are in control babe.I'll let you play some more but it's my turn now.You're not nearly as red and damaged like me and I don't quite like it."
 From above him,she eyed him darkly.It wasn't as if she wasn't aware he was tougher than her but stubborness made everything more intense.She grabbed his chin and traced a long,red nail (not only from the polish) along his lips,his jaw,the side of his temple and then,in a swift movement,scratched him on the cheek.He looked at her as if he was mad but she saw the spark in his eyes,the one that promised something better.
 "Acting like a cat now?"
 "Mrrr."
 "Just so you know,I like my kittens tamed.And you*he pushed up his body,making her back away* are a very bad little beast.Not good,not good at all."
 It was like a game of chase,the way they moved around each other on different sides of the bed.The hunter and its prey,only in this specific situation you couldn't tell who was who.
 That night was about flesh and nothing more.The taste of lust is sweet but the outcome painful if you mix together the wrong spices.Both predators;a dangerous night indeed.
