Day 242 - Cheater

 CHEATER


Prompt - Cheater : Write about someone who is unfaithful


She removed herself from touching distance as soon as he approached, her disdain for his profligacy fully displayed in her bearing, her lack of eye contact, in the way in which she made him feel small.  It had only been a brief dalliance, little more than a quick fondle, but she sensed it from his demeanour, and from the scent that, to her keen nostrils and receptiveness to the slightest of slights, rolled out in waves of betrayal.

It had been such a brief moment.  Pleasant, entrancing, irresistible.  Unavoidable.  His temptress had almost placed herself in his path, inviting attention.  A great beauty, demanding her dues.  Soft and warm and welcoming, playful and yet still distant, a courtesan of the walls.  He had been tempted to stay, but he had not.  He had come home to the love of his life, and yet she spurned him.  He felt shame.

Cats could do that to you.
