“I beg your pardon?”
Adam loved when she asked in that wide-eyed, questioning way; she sounded like Mary Poppins.
“Knocking boots. You’ve never heard of it?”
Briony considered the phrase. “Mm, no, I don’t believe so. What does it mean exactly?
He grinned and pulled her to him, timing it perfectly with their arrival at the end of the pier.
“It means, my little English flower, that I want to… y’know…” he bobbed his head hoping she’d understand the meaning without his expressing the words.
Ironically, Adam’s boots stayed put as he was pushed swiftly into the icy water below.

And on that night there was no knocking of the boots… or anything else.Nice tale you’ve told here.
Thank you. I can’t stand the term myself!
Thats a beautiful one!
Thank you!
Ha! Looks like she finally caught his meaning. Great story!
Us Brits don’t take long to catch on. 😉 Thank you.
hahaha nice one 🙂 never heard of the term knocking boots and it made me cringe. lol
It’s horrible, isn’t it? Like “bumping uglies”…ugh!
Looks like his chances are slim. Nice story, flowed well.
He’s got no chance at all. 🙂 Thank you.
Excellent! I intuited from the title what he was up to. Nothing like a cold shower (or lake) to cool his ardor.

He might win her over with a rather more subtle approach. 🙂 Thank you!
Dear Brit,
I guess this would constitute a “no” on her part. 😉 Good one.
Shalom,
Rochelle
I should think so, Rochelle. Thank you. 🙂
Grim.
Brilliantly so.
Why thank you, MrBinks. 😉
Great ending to an otherwise sad story for many an unsuspecting gal. Love it!
Thank you. I’ve a feeling he thought she was one of those naive English girls… 😉
Hahaha I absolutely love this story! This is my favorite take on the prompt so far. 😀
Wow! Thank you! 😀
You’re welcome! 😀
Ack!He had it coming-knocking boots-indeed!lol!A great piece here:-)
Thank you!
🙂
Great piece! Loved it.
Thank you!
That was one pushy English rose 🙂 great end.
Ha ha! Touche!
Too bad he did not know about when push comes to shove. Nicely done.
Thank you!
The like button is broken so : Like! Tay.
Hmmm..strange. Thanks!
YVW’ earned! 😀
That took a minute! 😀
Too Long? If so, I’m sorry?
If not I’M confused!
😎
No, no…it took me a minute to figure out “YVW”. 😉
AHHHHHHHH! 😉
Wow…this is the third conversation I’ve had this week that feels like it’s gone comically round in circles. 😀
You know what they say, caress a circle and it will become vicious? You must have a knack! 😀
Clever, sharp dialogue, and an unexpected finish. There was some real heat here, some sexy flirtation. Clearly she was not in the same mood. Nicely executed, Brit. I did two this week; these boots have some intrigue! 😉
I noticed! Thank you.
PeThis is my first week on FF and I’m enjoying it so much.
Welcome to the Fictioneers!
Damn that was cold, and not just the water.
I suppose it was. Perhaps if he’d have been a little more romantic, he might have been successful.
Ha! He deserved it, the fool. Great fun.
Thank you!
