A line from my book: "Intake."

I like this line so I'm going to post it. A man and a woman are having sex in a hotel.

The hotel clock read 1:14 PM as the man and woman on the bed had sex. The man, 30 years old, large, lean, muscular and shaved bald, gritted his teeth hard as the naked young woman on top of him, thin to almost bony, long, dark brown hair riddled with sweat, buried her fingers, fronted by her long, carefully filed red coated fingernails, into his chest, the red paint mixing with the man’s blood and seeming to crawl up her left hand and arm sheathed in a sleeve tattoo of twisted, thorny green vines, bits of tattooed blood oozing from thorn tips like artistic violence.
