A wee homage to Spock in 270 words, from Uhura

A/N: Hawser: a cable (often steel) used to moor a ship.

HawserIn repose, his muscles are almost all minutely softened, and she indulges herself an exploration of his molten angles. He is the most arid man she has ever lain with; the stutter of a limb over damp flesh is long unknown to her. Lying curled behind him - the reverse is impossibly

...that loose lanky lope...

[linstock]

Vivid and enticing. Brings to my mind this quote...
"The expression of the face balks account;
But the expression of a well-made man appears not only in his face;
It is in his limbs and joints also, it is curiously in the joints of his hips and wrists;
It is in his walk, the carriage of his neck, the flex of his waist and knees-dress does not hide him;
The strong, sweet, supple quality he has, strikes through the cotton and flannel;
To see him pass conveys as much as the best poem, perhaps more;
You linger to see his back, and the back of his neck and shoulder-side." Walt Whitman

I love that Whitman poem so much, it is very Spockish. Ta!

This was beautiful, and engrossing. Every word of description resonated. I loved the last four words.

And thank you for giving me a TOS story!

[spockchick]

Thanks G! ToS for the win!

I don't care how strong of a woman you are or how liberated you say you are...most women LOVE a strong man in both body and mind! Very sexy.

Indeed we do, it is such an aphrodisiac...thanks :-)

This was so vivid. I love the last three lines.
