Net stockings over well shaped legs
recalled scenes from B movies, long ago.
I almost expected her to have a
cigarette in a long holder…
until I looked into her eyes.
Deep green, sparkling in the dim light,
they pulled at that part of me
that had no name… but I knew I needed
to please her… whatever that meant.
Her voice was low, husky, as I began
to give her my best lines… she laughed
at the right places… her gloved hand
touching mine… lightly, intimately,
then flitting away like a dark butterfly.
A few drinks and I worked up the courage
to ask her if she’d like to leave… with me.
A brilliant white flash in the darkness
was all the answer I needed and I took
her hand, leading her toward the door.
Outside, we stopped in the shadows
and her warm sensuous lips caressed
mine, her tongue inquisitively searching
the inside of my mouth.
As she pushed up against me,
her full breasts spread across
my chest, the hard nipples
teasing mine.
Suddenly, I became aware
of the heat emanating from
between her legs as she
wrapped herself around me.
Coming up for air,
I whispered…
“Please, tell me
that’s a gun…”
Author notes
The image reminded me of old movies with private eyes and gangsters and that's the feel I was hoping for... smoked filled bars and floosies 
... with a twist

Oh what a lady, what a night! Fantastic ending to a really classy, sensual write. How many guys has that happened to I wonder, not many would ever say. Brilliant and fun.

Oh my goodness, I liked this one also, such vivid imagination, you know I really liked how you related this to the movies of private eyes and gangsters, I thought that was pretty cool. I love those old movies like that, especially black and white, and sometimes the movies are so epic that you can't help not to like them.

I liked how you described the gloved hand and such, like how you described what the girl was feeling and her looks, it wasn't a downright description but it was subtle hints of what she might looked liked, and you made it classy indeed, with a hint of mystery.
Kind of like seeing a mysterious girl in red smoking old school long cigaretts who is usually up to no good, but you just know that she is beautiful and you want to know her.

I absolutely LOVE this!!!! I was soooo not expecting that!!!! This was brilliant Ken!!! I am so glad you sent this my way! I really really really needed this laugh tonight!!! You are awesome!!!
-
Lol!!!!! Wow! That definitely threw me for a loop! I sort of suspected right near the end, but I laughed my butt off anyway, because of the whole 'gun' thing. Well done! And no mistakes to be found. Absolutely wonderful timing! I needed that laugh tonight. Thank you.
-
Oh what a twist!!!! Ha ha.. Still laughing.
Wonderful imagery.
A clever and humorous take on the prompt, well done.

I'm trying very hard to stop laughing.. until I'm done with my comment. the suspense was wonderful, like a buildup, then the ending wasn't quite what I thought it would be.. lol but that makes it even funnier.. I love your take on this prompt. the imagery throughout this entire piece was outstanding and vivid. I really enjoyed reading this.
good luck
