Learning from each other's knowing
Title: Learning from each other's knowing Author: celandineb Word Count: 100 Rating: PG13 Challenge: Free for all: Touch A/N: Afraid I'm a day late on this... hope it's ok anyhow! The title is from the song "Son of a Preacher Man."
Lank hair brushes across skin, a hundred shivers rippling. A tongue flicks out to taste a navel, then moves teasingly upward rather than down, leaving a wet trail to the pebbled skin of each tight nipple. Fingers tweak hardened flesh, then soothe. One fingertip traces a scar on a forehead young but marked by care. Another reciprocates, tracing the dark ring under a darker eye, outlining a beaky nose, drawing along the line of a stubbled jaw. The time for urgency will come; now is for wondering exploration, for touching and tasting, for learning the body of another unexpectedly alive.
