TITLE: One Fifty-Five AUTHOR: MissElise E-MAIL: MissElise@aol.com RATING: PG (sexual imagery) CATEGORY: MSR SPOILERS: None SUMMARY: Don't wanna do one, sorry. 155 words of MSR is the challenge, I believe. If it *had* to be humour, I've failed. DISCLAIMER: They aren't mine, but the story is. Concept by Brandon. One Fifty-Five by Miss Elise ~*~ His footsteps were muffled on the carpet as he made his way down the dim hallway. He eased the cuff of his shirt back and checked his watch, watching the silent sweep of the second hand. Almost time. She would be waiting, for she had promised. He could almost taste her soft, perfumed flesh against his tongue now, slightly salty under the wet-velvet stroke. Almost time. The room would be candlelit, naturally. She would look like a length of gold, twined amid the pillows, capped with fire, waiting. Almost time. He paused before the door and as the watch hand slipped toward 1:55 a.m., he raised his hand and brushed his fingers over the door number. 155. He could smell her from here; even the scent of the candles spilled under the door and into the hallway. He breathed in deep, closing his eyes, fingers warming the gold numbers on the door. It was time.
