“We can’t go back, but we can move on from
where we left off, the part when I ask you to marry me. But this
time only marriage. No houses, no au pairs, and no babies.”
Flinging my arms around his neck, I smothered
him in kisses. Taking a breath, I tilted my head back to look at
him. “Guy Foreman, I would love to marry you.”
His mouth came down on mine, and his hot
tongue plunged into my mouth, rolling it around mine. His hands
tugged at my shirt, pulling it out of my skirt. This was no
schoolboy fumble as his fingers unzipped my skirt with expertise,
cupping his large hands around my bottom, pulling me into his
firmness.
Kissing down my neck, nuzzling at my ear, his
hot breath filled my body with a blazing desire of passion. Yes,
this was an experienced man, but I was right. This was the man I
wanted to spend the rest of my life with.
“Clare,” he whispered seductively. “I love
you so much I want you right here, right now.”
Not sure of what happened next, I recall
sweeping the kitchen table clear of the fruit bowl and magazines.
It all seemed to happen in a sexual frenzy of passion, lust, and
confirming our love to each other. However, the next thing I
recalled was Guy and me naked on the kitchen table, Guy on top of
me, a bottle of chocolate sauce, and a trifle Sponge Finger in his
hands. I lay with my head hanging off the edge of the table,
squealing in pleasure as Eleanor walked through the doorway.
As casual as if Guy and I were playing
scrabble she asked, “Do you two ever lock a door?”

Angel of Kindness
by Joanne Rawson
Megan Shepard was not looking forward to
Christmas. Now divorced, all she had to look forward to was
spending Christmas in Derbyshire, with her sixty four year old,
bisexual, hippie mother, and a scrawny little sapling tree,
overdressed with cheap decorations from the pound shop. However,
her friends had other ideas, like taking her to Pinkie's Night
Club, their old stomping ground as teenagers. This brought back
memories of rah-rah skirts, fishnets, and legwarmers dancing to
Madonna, until the DJ played The Power of Love, whereupon Richie
King would take her hand and lead her to the dance floor.
Seeing Richie leaning against the bar in his
unforgettable Danny Zucko pose, she knows the right thing to do
would be to walk in the opposite direction, yet finds herself
walking straight to him, and taking the advice of her
unconventional mother. Swept off her feet to the winter wonderland
of Manchester's Christmas Market, romantic walks in the snow of the
Derbyshire Peak District, and fireside dinners, she has to wonder
if Richie really changed, or has he something to hide?
