Rachel’s First Campaigner Challenge

I have joined a Writers Challenge Campaigner and this is Rachel’s.

Write a short story/flash fiction story in 200 words or less, excluding the title. It can be in any format, including a poem. Begin the story with the words, “The door swung open” These four words will be included in the word count.

If you want to give yourself an added challenge (optional), use the same beginning words and end with the words: “the door swung shut.” (also included in the word count)

For those who want an even greater challenge, make your story 200 words EXACTLY!
Well here is mine …   200 words exactly.

                               The Door flew Open

The Door flew open, she didn’t turn around, she knew who it was. A smile etched from the corners of her moist lips feeling his muscular body rub ever so gently against her back. His hands moved to the tie of her robe, undoing the knot, it slipped to the floor. A finger glided a strand of hair back behind her right ear, leaning in he brushed his lips against the small of her lobe, his tongue darting inside, his fingers made their way down her neck following the opening of the robe. Her breathing increased and her heart beat faster at the share delight of his touch. She moved her head to the side allowing his mouth to find her eager lips. His hand slid inside the robe his fingers clenched her ripe nipple causing a tingling sensation to her stomach.

  knock at the door.

“Your car is here sir”

“arr… thankyou. Be right down.” he quickly stepped back. She clasped the opening of her robe together with her hand and smiled shyly.

“Beg your pardon, madam, I must go”. catching her soft eyes as he bowed, he hesitated briefly before leaving the room, the door swung shut.

    -Aarn

  20. Christy Farmer says:

    LOL…I’m liking how people are trying to figure out the identities of this couple! I’m thinking that since he addressed her as madam that either she is married to a person in a powerful position if she is not in one herself. As for the guy…I’m thinking somehow that he is a business associate of husband. 🙂

    • LOL… I am having so much fun just reading the comments. Don’t know how many times I have nearly fallen off my seat with laughter.
      You are close, very close……..lol.

  21. The amorous parts were nice, but I was more interested in the “Madam” comment. What, exactly, is the relationship between them, hm?

  22. Tantalizing! Always that darn knock at the door. I have the feeling that the woman played that timing to her advantage, though. Good job!

  23. doreen says:

    Teaser!! Good stuff…

  24. I’ve been reading some today. I agree with Lynda – it’s a great entry (tease) for the challenge.

  26. Trisha says:

    What a tease!! hehe

  27. Jen says:

    This makes me want to know the backstory here. Good job!

  28. Wow, that was steamy! WTG…200 hundred words aren’t a lot, but you’ve got a great (grown up) scene here. 😀

  29. Joanna says:

    definitely not picture book material, very steamy, Diane 🙂

  30. Holly Vance says:

    Cold shower, here I come. Hot stuff!

  31. Catherine Johnson says:

    My mouth is gaping open! Fun!

  37. Hey love it, like a bit of a teaser – and glad mine isn’t the only naughty one!

  38. Ha! That was quite the eye opener to read first thing in the morning:) You’ve got me wondering too…who was that dude?:)

  39. Sonia Lal says:

    You are right, we do have something in common. Though yours is steamer than mine! LOL

  40. Woo! Definitely left wondering what their relationship is! Especially since he comes in ever so boldly but leaves in a timid manner calling her madam. Intrigued. 😉

  41. Intriguing indeed! Pleased you like this Amanda

  42. Risque and intriguing. I do need to know who these people are because I keep getting a disconcerting picture in my mind of certain members of the royal family… no… It isn’t is it?

    • LOL …. Oh My! thats very good….mmm no it isn’t but your close… LOL. I get more enjoyment from these comments than writing the story… Oh did I say that? *blushes*

  43. Elaine says:

    Steamy! The relationship is between the MC and the man left me wondering who had the upper hand – but I think you described that in some detail ;).

  44. Doctor FTSE says:

    Perhaps “Madam” is his pet-name for his wife? Or would that spoil the story?

  45. Really, he had to go? I kinda wondered what she had to smile about. At that point. I’d probably be getting ready to kill him. Quite a mysterious piece.
