She rose up on her knees
and dipped one

perfectly manicured finger
into her wine

she ran her finger

slowly up
from her navel

to the canyon
between her breasts

leaving a glistening trail

smiling into his eyes

she moistened another finger
and touched it
to the spot
where the wetness stopped

she let the ruby red liquid
run off her finger
and watched

as two or three drops
slid down the path
she had just traced

mesmerized
he stared at her,

her eyes
her breasts
and the dark red wine
trickling downwards
into her navel

unconsciously
he extended his tongue
to taste the wetness,

and she leaned forward
and kissed him
softly on the mouth

pulling back

she ran her tongue
slowly around the
rim of the glass
and around her lips,
never looking away
from his face

she took a small sip
and kissed him again
spilling the wine
into his mouth

taking the glass
from her hand,

he wet his fingers
and traced circles
on her breasts

he raised the glass
and filled his mouth,

brushing his lips
across her chin
down her throat
over her chest

slowly
he let the warm wine
trickle out of his mouth

and watched it
run between her breasts
across her stomach
and disappear
into her soft light hair,

blending the oakiness of the wine
with her sweet musky smell

intoxicated
and wanting more,
his tongue followed the path
to that dark cellar

where her secrets lay side by side
like fine wine in barrels,
and he drank
his fill..........

Raising his dark eyes to her, a look of consternation came across Bramwells face as they both heard little Jerods voice in the background. "Mommy! Mommy!!"

Bramwell began to filter away as the vestiges of her sweet dream all but too quickly was swept away, leaving her again in her loneliness as she waited for his return..................
