I came across this entry I wrote for a competition (Faerytaleish Pin Contest) back in May 2012, hosted by Anna Meade and posted up on her site: Yearning for Wonderland, before I had this blog. I still love the tale and the photo prompt. I am reblogging it here so I don't lose it again.
NB. A bit of research revealed this is a guy called Kiwan Landreth-Smith, he is a musician (Guitarist) from Trinidad & Tobago.
Spellbound
Spellbound was
indeed what she was when those eyes met hers. The minute she was caught
by them she knew she was his. He didn’t need to lure her back to his
lair; she was more than happy when he told her he was going to keep her
there forever.
She would sit for
hours and wind her fingers in his sundrenched hair while he tapped away
on the locks that would bind her to him. She would whisper sweet
nothings in his delicate elfish ears and run her fingers along the
ornate markings on his deeply tanned skin while he wove the iron
strands into place. And she would wait for the moment he would pause in
his toil and look at her, making her catch her breath as she lost
herself in the starlight glow of his eyes. Then he would smile in his
quiet coquettish way, and her heart would flutter.
Despite
the sparse furnishings of his beach dwelling cove, he made sure her
new home wanted for nothing; providing silk cushions for her to lie
upon, and a little tray for her food and drink. Then he hung her up
high to give her full view of the ocean and they would watch the
sunsets together.
As time went on it
was the mornings she looked forward to the most, when he would wake
her with his poking fingers and open up the door. She would turn and
meet his dreamy gaze wishing once again that she could kiss his perfect
lips and feel their fullness. But alas it was never meant to be; she
could only dance along his finger and tickle them with her own
miniature set, while fluttering her tiny wings against his cheek, and
making him laugh.
