The painting was poorly created, but she barely noticed. They stood together at the same piece, his presence so close and intimate with her shoulders and lower back she wondered if he might get an erection, would she feel it. Such thoughts. She had become a monster of passion and desire and she hated herself for it. She'd never wanted anyone so much in her entire life. Not that that meant much in itself. But the very touch of him against her could send her into a chaos of stupid senseless gestures. Such as pushing backward just so that she could feel his prick against her spine. Even if it meant him turning away coldly and leaving her, repulsed by the taboo nature of their relationship. Though he did turn away and move on to the next painting, the sensation of his thick cock buried for a brief moment against the curve of her back was enough to leave her breathless and grinning.
...
One night she sat up for what seemed like hours while the moon glowered an opal skull in the night sky overhead and she watched him paint, waiting for a sign. Waiting for some tiny piece of evidence that he was tired, or weakened at least a little bit. She had planned all day that tonight she would take him. She would make him hard and force him to want her so desperately he couldn't possibly contain himself and he would steal her body as effectively as he might pilfer a secret diary when someone isn't looking. Quietly and calmly she waited, her nerves growing continually tighter as she watched. For hours he painted, the muscles in his arms strong and unhurt, unaffected. The brushstrokes were firmer and more dynamic the longer they both held out. it became an unspoken competition. The moment he would look at her with weakness and need would be the moment she would approach him for the third time and try to entice him to make love to her. But it never came. His eyes didn't peer in her direction, not once. She was left almost breathless, and yawning, her eyes barely able to stay open.
"You should go to bed." He said, finally breaking the silence. "You sound tired."
"No, I'm fine." She replied stubbornly and sat up a little.
"I don't see what you find so fascinating about me painting."
She raised her eyebrows and looked away. The house and the beach were both silent, but for the gushing roar of waves as they shifted. There was no fire. Summer had hit quite suddenly and it was too warm to light one. She lifted an ice cold glass to her mouth and sipped at the juice in it.
"I'm fully entertained."
He continued to paint, generously slapping the paint on with his hands and fingers, then working it through with a large soft brush. She watched the hypnotic strokes and felt her eyelids begin to betray her. Her head fell back and she drifted off into a quiet doze. She felt him lift her up into his arms and carry her to bed so that she was not annoying him or in his way. She lightly pinched his neck in her sleep and murmured.
"You bastard."
...
She was sunken, deep down and slightly comatose, in the soft folds of the bed, it's feathery arms wrapped around her intimately and graciously as she half-slept.
The air was too warm, sickly with a humidity which glued to her skin and made everything uncomfortable. The bed was stifled from perspiration and the minuscule droplets of moisture in the air, the thin sheets half thrown over her body were becoming clinging and stifling.
