Hi Everyone and welcome to this week's eight sentences! 'Christmas Delights' is an anthology of erotic stories with a Christmas theme. This week I am sharing from 'A Christmas Tale' a story about a young couple experiencing London shopping on Christmas Eve.
My Eight
I laughed out
loud as Mark clowned around in the toy sections of huge department stores, his
infectious laughter instilling in me some of the Christmas spirit l started out
with this morning. Watching Mark purchase a large pink teddy bear for his niece
made me feel warm inside. The rush of love l felt for him caught in my
throat.
We stepped back
out into the rain linking arms and grinning upwards at the sky, hoping the rain
would turn to sleet and then huge flakes of snow. It was 4pm. Some of the
stores were already closing their doors for the Christmas break. We crossed the
road and sheltered in a small cafe. Over our hot chocolates we planned our next
move.
