Slip into something sexy,
Iridescent glass candles lit,
Light the luxurious fireplace,
Extinguish all noise from T.V and bathroom radio,
Nobody here but I now, as she makes her way to the couch,
Cannot wait to start this page-turner..
Engulfed in passion and bounteous intrigue while candle-lights flickered -

The steps to losing a child
Step One: Lose a child. Not what anyone wants to happen and nothing you can do to change it, but you can go through steps to becoming happy again. You can go through steps to loving again. You can go through steps to become a new you because after losing a child you will never be the same person you once were.

There’s no better place to read than by the fireplace while showing a bit of skin, thank you for creating this imagery.

Congratulations for making this week's leaderboard's honorable mention for most discussed stories!
I love the atmosphere you created in such few words - brilliant!
My favourite silence indeed!! Such a soothing read!! Great work Grz!
Great work, Grz. This is a little different from your usual. I like it it's somewhat twisty and atmospheric. Very good!
Sitting by the fireplace alone with a good book? Now that’s hot 🔥😍🤣
Oh wow, I did not see that coming hahahahaha. But I prefer doing this rather than what I thought was coming, lol. Loved your take on the challenge!
Onesomes are much more fun than twosomes...Hannah Moore!
Perfect, though not was I was expecting at all. Love the sneaky title. Well done.
Ooh, looked like it was going to be a twosome and then....somehow this is so much more seductive right now!
G'z-C ~ Whew ~ I prefer 'Talkers' myself..! Yer Fun..! j.in.l.a.
Yowza! This was a hot read, buddy! Your title made me laugh. Very well done! You did a phenomenal job leading us on! Love this entry! How are you these days? Hope you are doing amazing and that life is great! Spring should be right around the corner for you, right?
Ahem. When I first read the title, I was a little apprehensive as to what I might find beyond the title. But I needn't have feared as it was all about the solitary moment of indulgence. Phew!
I knew this would be fire from the title! You snapped on this G! I loved it! Classy, sensual & well-crafted.
So provocative!!!!
Let the naughtiness commence. That what you been up to. Been a while. Have fun.
A perfect silent setting for a good read. You painted it nicely!
Marvelous acrostic poem!!! ❤️❤️💕
That's one way to enjoy a good book. Good work.
Sounds like a good time to me, although I'd want a comfier outfit, lol! I really liked your take :)
