“Hutch?”
“Shhh… still twenty minutes to go. Center, Starsk.”
(silence)
“Uh, Hutch… believe me, I’m more centered than I’ve ever been. And I just realized something.”
“Not now. Close your eyes.”
“They are closed. I don’t need them anyway. I can smell you.”
“What’re you talking about, Starsky? I just showered.”
“I know. And it’s not your shampoo or soap, or aftershave. I can separate each one of those scents ‘cause I know them so well.”
“Then what are you babbling about?”
“I can smell your hair, babe. I never knew baby-fine, sunlight gold and silky had anything more than a tactile sense, but I can smell it. Next time I get to run my fingers through it, I’m gonna remember this wonderful moment.”
(a beat of silence)
“And your skin…. It has an aroma that’s all smooth and velvety. Makes me wanna touch it, glide my hands all over your chest, your…”
“Aroma? Starsky, you’ve never used that word in your life before.”
“Well, maybe bein’ so centered is bringin’ out the vocabulary in me.”
“You’re hallucinating.”
“Naw, Hutch, I’m serious. And your musk is…”
“Starsky!”
“What?”
(more silence)
“Open your eyes!”
“Okay… so?”
“My musk, you say?”
“Yeah. It’s subtle, but it makes me really hot. It’s heavy and sweet, like whipping cream, and smoky, wraps around me like a soft blanket. My cock’s all hard and throbbing but I’m gonna close my eyes again ‘cause we’ve got eighteen more minutes to meditate and I don’t want…”
“Starsky…”
“Hmmmmm?”
“Come ‘ere.”
When meditating
senses are sometimes heightened
Can sex be next, please?

LOVE this Pat!! So funny and plausible! And the Haiku rocks! Thank you.
Thanks so much, ks. I’m really glad you enjoyed the story and the Haiku. I thoroughly enjoyed writing them both. I appreciate your taking the time to read and then to leave your kind words. THX!
That is so Starsky! ……. Uh, two of them? Is he having an out of body experience?
Thanks, Matsir! I’m glad you didn’t think it was over the top. I loved visualizing and then writing this piece. My post-SHareCon illness produced some off-the-wall stories, didn’t it? I’ll treasure your “That is so Starsky!” Flamingo came up with an amazing pic to go with it. Kudos to her and The Elves!
Well, happy birthday to me! This was a great story and I LOVE this picture (with Hutch’s reaction)
Yes, indeed, Happy Birthday to you, Lisa! Thanks for letting me know you enjoyed my humorous tribute to meditation. I greatly admire the ability, cannot do it myself! Flamingo and the Elves must take credit for the image, Hutch’s reaction is all his own, however. Thanks, again.
Mama Bird, how did you get Starsky in the background, bringing in the pizza, and Starsky in the foreground, attempting to apologize for having melted the album? Hmmmmm, I’m gonna hafta meditate on this….. Thanks, too, for the Christmas ‘palm tree’? on the counter. GREAT image to go along with my frivolous story. Thank you!!!
Aww, I love how you kept them in character in so little space. I cracked up at “… bringin’ out the vocabulary in me”, and Hutch’s down-to-earth “You’re allucinating.” And of course, Starsky knows exactly how to get what he wants. XD This put a grin on my face.
I’m really pleased that I could provide grins for you, TSiLvY, and that you felt I kept them in character. I had a lot of fun writing it, Starsky gently pushing Hutch’s meditation buttons and definitely getting what he wants. Thanks so much for taking the time to read and then to leave your kind words.
Very funny Pat!! Loved the photo too by Flamingo. How did she do that?? Its like magic. The Haiku was great too. Thanks for the morning chuckle, Starsky does know how to get a “rise” out of Hutch!
You’re quite welcome, littlestar! I’m glad you enjoyed the story and the Haiku. Yes, Starsky knows his Hutch and just how to get him to respond. I’m as amazed as you are with Flamingo’s photo manipulation, too. It’s brilliant. Thanks for reading and then for letting me know you had fun with it.
LOL. Can just see them having this conversation. So funny. And the picture at the end is perfect. Thank you.
You’re welcome, WF; so glad you enjoyed it. This is one of the stories my post-SHareCon illness generated. Makes you wonder, doesn’t it? Thanks for taking the time to read, and also for taking the time to write and let me know it gave you a LOL.
I loved this. And that Haiku is so funny and spot on! Makes the point that few words can say much. Thanks for making my day.
I’m so glad I made your day, mvernet; you’ve very welcome. I had such fun writing the story, and the Haiku, I’m really thrilled that readers have laughed along with me (and the guys, of course). Thanks for letting me know! (I love how I can picture you now, when we ‘talk.’ That’s just so great!)
Delightful. You packed a lot of emotion and atmosphere into this little piece. Thank you!
You’re very welcome, Kat, and I thank you! I’m happy that you enjoyed it because I loved writing it. Thanks so much for reading and then for letting me know you found it ‘Delightful.’ I’ll treasure that!
You already know that dialog stories are a favorite of mine, so naturally, I like it. Starsky talks his way to another win!!
Aw, Denise, thank you sooooooooo much. I know you’re out of your comfort zone with slash which makes me even more appreciative that you read this one and enjoyed it. Yes, dialog-only pieces are possibly my favorite format and this one just came to me, whole, as the saying goes. LOVE the last line of your comment; you got it in one! Thanks so much for reading, and then for writing.
Well now I have a huge smile on my face. 😉
Thank you for this.
You’re more than welcome, Paula. I’m really glad I could give you a smile; that makes my day! Thanks for taking the time during this busy season to read and then leave your kind words. THX!
I love how it feels exactly as though we’ve walked in on them mid-mediation. Starsky is such a scamp! Love the photo too!
Thanks, CallieDoodle. Yes, he is a scamp, isn’t he? Messin’ with Hutch’s head when he’s supposedly trying to learn the fine art of meditation. Oh well, maybe Hutch’ll have better luck getting Starsky to concentrate, ‘afterward.’ I’ll always keep checking back on my stories because I don’t want to miss the chance to thank everyone who leaves a comment. Hope you check back, too!!! Thanks, again.
I love a story that appeals to the senses. Nicely done. And yes, great haiku!
Thanks, Spencer. I had a difficult time coming up with words that would convey the ‘scent’ of hair, or skin, or….. musk. Glad you felt I did it okay. And, although I’m sure Haiku aficionados would cringe, I chuckled when I wrote it, and the whole piece. Thanks for taking the time to read, and then to leave your lovely words. Merry Christmas!
Such a cute slice of our boys! Thank you! And the elves adding that picture of Hutch…ooh la la!
I’m happy that you enjoyed my little frivolous moment of Starsky’s attempt at meditation, Elaine. Thanks so much for reading and then letting me know you liked it. Yes, the image is rather fine, isn’t it? Oh, The Elves have outdone themselves this year! Thanks, again!
Another delightful gift – thank you!!
You’re welcome, Callie Doodle; I’m so glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for letting me know; that’s greatly appreciated!
Ha! So funny! Thank you for this hilarious gift.
“Aroma? Starsky, you’ve never used that word in your life before.”
Loved that line 🙂
Thanks, marianrose! I laughed when I wrote that so I’m really happy it gave you a smile, too. Happy Holidays to your and yours!
“I’m gonna close my eyes again ‘cause we’ve got eighteen more minutes to meditate and I don’t want…”
That is the best use of reverse psychology, ever 😀 Delightful exchange, Pat, thank you!
I admit, Baby, I was purely having fun with this one. I’m sure Hutch would always be so stern when trying to teach Starsky how to meditate that Starsky’s innate need to mess with his lover’s mind, kindly though, of course, couldn’t be suppressed. And I did want Hutch to have the last word. Thank you so very much for reading all my stories and then taking time to leave lovely comments. I’ll treasure all of them!!!
Love this little story! It’s so them! Thanks, Pat!
You’re welcome, Hutcherie! I’m really happy that you think I captured them. Thanks very much for reading, and then for writing. Merry Christmas!
Awww, this is so Starsky! Just perfekt! Very well written, Pat! ?
THANK YOU, Hutcherie! I’m truly happy that you think I captured Starsky. I’ll cherish your kind words.
Starsky knows exactly how to work Hutch to get what he wants! The impish elf strikes again! Great story ❤
I love ‘the impish elf’ Lisa. Thank you! Really glad you enjoyed this little bit of fun; thanks for reading and then for leaving your kind comment.
