Feeling sexy, but the garden needs weeding and I am pulling up bastard clovers, thistle.

Feeling sexy in the bath too small for the both of us and I can hear you making dinner, talking to

the dog.

Feeling sexy? Bending over to scoop up my knickers, rolls of stomach like cloud on thighs,

nipples touching my knees one heel raised in an awkward dance as you are watching by the

doorway anyway are we feeling

sexy?
