Enjoy an Exclusive Excerpt from Harold Kempka’s “Milkweed”

He tingled with excitement, thinking about the possibilities. They stepped from the car and walked toward the house. Lily stopped and bent toward a small strip of clustered, pinkish-white flowers adorning the plants growing alongside the walkway. She held a cluster of the dainty flowers in her hand and motioned for him to lean toward them.

“Aren’t they beautiful?” she asked and looped her arm through his. “They are milkweed, and butterflies just love them. Their aroma is so intoxicating it makes me tingle.”

She snuggled up against him and led him into the house. Upon stepping inside, she surprised him with a passionate kiss on the lips.

Walter held her close and ran his hands from her waist at the small of her back up toward her shoulder blades. He could feel her ribs expand and contract in concert with her breathing. Lily wrapped her arms around his neck and pressed against him. Her hot breath emanated with the flowery aroma of the plants along the walkway.

“I want you so badly,” she whispered.

Lily kissed him and slid her tongue between his lips. She dueled with his tongue and overpowered him with her passion. Walter opened his eyes and stared stunned as her nose and pulsating lips transformed into a proboscis-like appendage.

The proboscis flicked at his mouth, but before he could react. it slithered between his lips and down his throat. His face turned deep crimson, and he gagged. He fought to breathe while his stomach gurgled and bloated.
