For a moment before I was stripped of most of my clothing, time seemed to slow to an excruciating crawl. The only sounds were the soft rhythms played by the rain on the windows of his studio, and my own increasingly audible heartbeat. As the moment grew ever closer I began to have an overwhelming feeling that I could never go through with it, though it had been a dream of mine to be immortalized by his genius. I studied him from over the glass of water I drank from nervously ever since he had handed it to me. I knew that he could sense the overpowering apprehension that surrounded me like some suffocating aura. He grinned as he prepared his paints and brushes. My eyes were drawn as always to his hands as they twisted the caps off of different tubes; I observed carefully the way that his forearms flexed and stiffened in various fashions. God, how I adored those hands and arms.
"Are you ready?" He asked, turning to me, mask of professionalism in place. I wondered if it concealed even a hint of lascivious intent. Hell, I hoped it did. I nodded reluctantly, choking momentarily on a last gulp of water. "Here, let me help you." Effortlessly yet gingerly he lifted my shirt over my head and slung in carelessly out of sight. He unclasped my bra and sent it the way of my shirt, glancing momentarily at my stiff nipples.
"Cold?" He inquired, feigning concern as he unbuttoned my jeans. "Because you are going to get pretty hot under those lights."
Under the lights? I thought, I'm hot right now, watching you take my clothes off. He tugged them down and I stepped out of them, and as he slowly rose back upward I felt his warm breath pass over my thighs. Eventually his eyes were penetrating my suddenly timid soul. He smiled, breaking the electric gaze. "Maybe some wine would suit you better. Wait here."
I folded my arms over my bare chest and looked around, observing but not really seeing, until her returned with a rather large glass of wine. "Vintage Who-gives-a-fuck." He said as he handed it to me, back in artist mode. I followed him, drinking deeply, into the middle of the floor.
After a few minutes I began to feel the velvet tingle in my veins that is synonymous only to wine. I giggled at nothing in particular as he adjusted the lighting. "Come here, silly girl." He commanded, and I obeyed.
