Author has written 1 story for Romance.

Previous author of "A Proper Acquaintance" (under pen name kellycc23) - I took the story down, mainly because I didn't think it was going anywhere. You may recognize a few things from that story in my new story, "Sweet is the Stolen Draught"

"Sweet is the Stolen Draught" comes from a poem by Lewis Carroll called "Stolen Waters" - obviously, I do not own this poem. Excerpt below:

'Sweet is the stolen draught' she said:
'Hath sweetness stint or measure?
Pleasant the secret hoard of bread:
What bars us from our pleasure?'

'Yea, take we pleasure while we may,'
I heard myself replying.
In the red sunset far away
My happier life was dying:
My heart was sad, my voice was gay.

And unawares, I know not how,
I kissed her dainty finger tips,
I kissed her on the lily brow,
I kissed her on the false, false lips-
That burning kiss, I feel it now!

This is one of my first stories, so I appreciate feedback!
