True watched with jaded eyes and a secret smile. That one, he would be hers. Intoxicated, power flowing she focused. He dropped the hand of his partner meeting True’s eyes, bowing his head, submission in his every movement. Yes, he would be hers before the end of the night.
The season’s last revelry, the affluent of the city snap up tickets to a night of well-contained folly. Unbeknownst to them, this night will be different, this night the well-heeled are visited by Bacchus himself, their party spilling into the streets of the city, embracing the true meaning of bacchanalia.
Flash in the Pan is brought to you by the amazing Red of M3 fame

The name ‘True’ is a great one – read twice as it’s so well done!
Thanks Christy. I find I am enjoying this exercise.
Love the name, True. This flash sizzles with heat, Valentine. Wow, any hotter and my monitor might explode..
Ah True, she is someone I know a secret I keep. I am glad you like her.
So refreshing to read the word intoxicated in Spirit of emotion rather than in the alcoholic cocktails drank from Pub to Pub as they spill out onto the street at closing time
And I confess I never heard of bacchanalia!! ….
Glad you are enjoying Flash in the Pan Val.. I am enjoying reading them
Love and Hugs Sue
Bacchus, he is a treat! I am so glad you are enjoying these they are a treat for me to write.
Awesome! I so miss the Bacchus krewe. Such fun. This makes me wonder what dance they were doing. Hmm. Tango is so appropriate. <3 xxx
The Bacchus krewe and Frank Angle inspired True. Tango, no far to tame. This one is the far more down and dirty.
How fitting about a weekend with two wine events.
Frank, you inspired this one.
Cheers to me … next sip will be in your honor!
