Hi, Yvette. LOL This reminds me of something from Shakespeare;s "Taming of The Shrew" Were you watching Kiss Me Kate on TCM when you wrote this? LOL very good show of bad temper here. Bless you. Good Luck in the contest. Bob

    He-he...no, not a big TV person, although that is certainly one of the stations I watch when I do. Thanx for stopping in for the read and review, Bob - always appreciated. :) Have a great weekend! Yvette

It takes all kinds to make the world go round so who am I to say different. Some are silent in their display of passion and others get physical when rubbed the wrong way working themselves into a sexual frenzy.

Yvette, this was wonderfully written. The crazier the woman was, the better she was in bed -- interesting.=) I wonder if the positive slope would also hold for men? -- in retrospect, I'd think it would.=)


Okay, this was very good flash fiction, and you convey the sexual passion erupting from a fight very well.

Two things:

1. "My love," he said calmly, seductively. ("ly" words tell, they do not show. Perhaps, something like "his voice calm, running his tongue over his lips" -- something like that?

Even if you do use an "ly" word once in a while, it doesn't seem to work in:

"Liliana screamed, stomping her foot, jostling her ample breasts invitingly."

At this point Liliana is still mad at him-- she is not jostling anything 'invitingly.' =)

Clearly, this is a couple who knows each other well. Their foreplay is a hanker the two thirst before making love. It would be an error to say that this is the norm for the average couple. This hot and steamy lovemaking are found in novels.

Your wrote this very realistically. I guess, it does take a certain kind of crazy to be turned on in a kitchen that reeks of dog shit.
I'd have thrown the poo-shoe. haha.

Good luck in the contest.

Hot passionate sensual scenes here and women can tantalise with her charms and get away with being fiesty and men often see this in a sexual way, I enjoyed your words, love Dolly x

My goodness, Yvette. You should not be wasting your time in teacher meetings. You should be writing every waking moment. In this piece, you write with abandon and passion. My son is marrying into an Italian family next summer. Hope he is in for some of the passion and excitement that you mention.
Good luck in the contest. This was awesome.

    Thank you for your input, Debbie, and for taking the time to read about Antonio and Liliana. I very much appreciate both. And I am so glad that you enjoyed it - I certainly enjoyed writing it. I don't think that my style of writing is quite what the 'experts' on this sight are looking for, but c'est la vie -- still fun, I guess. :) :)

    I am certainly glad to hear about your son -- how wonderful!! :) :) Are they having a big wedding? I remember all of my family's weddings growing up -- oh my goodness! Big Catholic New Orleans Italian weddings - oh the memories -- WOW!! :) ;)

    Again, thanx for the review and those stars, my friend -- you have certainly made my day (is it the weekend yet - lol!)!! :) ;) Have a wonderful evening, Beautiful Birmingham Friend! :) Yvette

    Oh yes. The wedding is going to be spectacular. Wedding in Stamford, Connecticut and the reception in New Rochelle. There is quite the Italian contingent in Stamford. Preston was interviewed on tv at some Italian festival because "Why you don't look Italian." I am hoping to learn a little Italian to surprise them at the wedding. I am counting down the days.

    Hey - need to try that "Babel" through Google. It's really good for learning "casual and useful" -- I've incorporated it as one of the three pillars of my son's Spanish class for this year and it's been great! It's very reasonable and you can pay for whatever length of time you like. Just a suggestion...have a great weekend, ma'am! :) ;)

The way you started the story brought us into the scene very clearly.
few suggestions:He laughed, stepping forward.-drop the gerund,venturing.
Liliana screamed, stomping her foot, jostling her inviting breasts.
A coffee mug glanced off his arm and crashed into the refrigerator,
bursting.-the way it's written it sounds like it flew into the refrigerator.
his fiery beauty-testy not crazy
Last-Liliana's passion burned hotter than her anger.
good job. Keep writing.

I enjoyed it. Always a bit of crazy involved in anger turning into sexual frenzy, but always interesting and entertaining. And who doesn't dream of the lover who backs you up against a wall and takes advantage of the heightened emotions involved in rage? Makes me a bit nostalgic for a particular lover who knew when to strike when the fires burned hot. Whew! Good luck in the contest.
