A William Drabble

[desoto_hia873]

ladywenham told me to write a William drabble, so I did. And one of the senior members of my department almost read it, as he came into my office looking for a report a few minutes ago. ::blushes::

ETA: Squee!





Title: Beneath Her
Rating: PG-13

William had to leave the party early. Cecily had been there again, looking wondrous and alluring in a gown of silk and taffeta. The pearls around her neck accentuated the daring décolletage of her dress and the lush curves of her bosom. Her comeliness sent shivers of delight to his nether regions, leaving him breathless and more than a little embarrassed by their reaction.

He lay in bed, consumed by sinful thoughts and wicked desire. He imagined her above him, wearing nothing but her pearls, pressing her warmth and softness against him.

William groaned. He wished he was beneath her.

Ooooh, I like it!

Thanks! I can only do poignant for so long and then I have to get back to the silly. :-)

Aw, poor William. He can be beneath me, if he wants. ;)

[desoto-hia873.livejournal.com]

Get in line, baby!

Gaaah. I love it. The little twist with the "beneath her" is just fantastic.

[desoto-hia873.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I pretty much write all my drabbles backwards - find the punchline and work my way up.

Oh, excellent! Poor William!

I think you've just embarassed him even more. :-)

[sandy-s.livejournal.com]

Lovely! :o) Nice use of the phrase...beneath her...hee!

[desoto-hia873.livejournal.com]

Thanks. This is about as close as I can get to writing actual smut. Which is probably just as well, given that I'm at work. :-)

[sandy-s.livejournal.com]

You did a very good job with it! :o) ;o)

[bogwitch.livejournal.com]

Hee!

Does this mean there's a third in the drabble competition?

[desoto-hia873.livejournal.com]

Possibly. Although that will mess up the order of things as I've been designated a judge for it. But she told me to write it!

[bogwitch.livejournal.com]

Oh. I won't have to break your fingers then. ;)

[frimfram.livejournal.com]

Yep, he's always been bad :)

At least his taste in women improved.

[desoto-hia873.livejournal.com]

I'm sure William was quite ashamed of himself. :-)

Will get your beta back to you today. Can you tell that I had an unproductive day at work yesterday?

Nice drabble, sweet.

Random question, but your penname is Kristina, right?

[desoto-hia873.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

Heh. Random. Right. I already got the email. :-)
