The call her Circe, because she can wrap people in a spell of happiness, but Mandi lives in fear. She has yet to discover the startling power within her.
My other hand clenches his shirt studs, which are
diamond and too pricy to risk losing in a cab seat. Their hard corners gouge me
like the thorns of my hidden anger. The bear man responds by working his hips
more tenderly and pressing his lips to my neck.
The city becomes the odors left on the cab seat by the
trousers of a thousand strangers. The sky bequeaths me the rivulets of rain
making their jagged way down the cab’s windows. The plinking of tin drums on
the driver’s radio makes a Caribbean counterpoint to Devon’s steady rhythm. He
lifts, carries, and floods me. He drives to his, letting go.
Circe is available today at this link and will be available at Amazon and other major ebook retailers within a day or two,
