Midnight Rendezvous - For Contest

Midnight Rendezvous I have slept with watermelon caressed the firm curvaceousness, lustily bathed in scented come-on of baking bread, kissed gently the smooth fuzz of sun warmed, stolen, peaches, tasted the salty sting of clandestine rendezvous, darkened room, refrigerator moonlight, succulent secret moments passion’s fruit satiation’s lip licking climax dripping on my bare chest, tantalizingly tickling a depleted six-pack. The refrigerator door closes, a dark guilt follows me back to bed. 6/24/2016

There's just something about those midnight snacks, brief affairs shared in the dim light of an open fridge door. Thanks for reading and commenting Andrea, always appreciated.
