Desire

Posted on March 18, 2011 by Fran Hart

Taylor’s hand stroked the fender with a gentle, loving caress. The car, with sleek lines and curves like a woman’s body, sat low and lean in the showroom. An almost sexual longing stirred within him.

This Porsche Carrera GT, so beautiful, luxurious and powerful, wanted him also; he knew this to be true. He cupped the smooth body, tilting his head, considering the sticker adhered to the window. She was fast and tight, with six-speed manual transmission, redlining at 8400 rpm and a top speed of just over 300 mph.

He turned away, sighing, his desires unfulfilled. Maybe someday.

    I'm sure there are these clandestine affairs going on in various automobile showrooms the world over. Wonderful descriptions.

    Wonderful descriptions. I agree with Tara. There's probably not a luxury car dealership around that hasn't served asa setting for this story!

    I suddenly feel the need to smoke.

    all kidding aside (I don't smoke and never have) – well done, this piece. 🙂
