I was dozing when the door opened some time later I sat up with a start

It was her, and for some reason she didn't call security on me

Instead, she stepped in and closed the door behind her

I took her in, let her presence wash overher in nonconsecutive bites; her face, her legs, her hands, her lips, her feet, her eyes, her shoulders, her ankles, her chest, her neck, ht disappear

Nothing I'd ever seen could touch her She was as ravishing as she was unattainable

So heartbreakingly lovely that I ached with it

A faut, and I let the pain wash over es since the last photos I'd seen of her She'd colored her hair, for the part no doubt, lightened it up just a touch, but enough so that gold streaks overtook and do her some deep, tawny version of blonde

She was dressed si in a soft white button up blouse tucked into a high-waisted, well-fitted light gray skirt It was an almost conservative ense ivory platform stilettos with a peep toe, and she wore them like a weapon

I'd have bet money she'd made friends with the wardrobe person, that she'd had at least some say in those man-eater heels

My eyes shot up to her face as her lusciousto the front of her blouse, fingering the top button

Without a word, she started to undress

"Scarlett" Two syllables Utter devastation

She undid one button, and then the next, revealing silky cleavage, a lacy white bra

"I didn't co

We always said our lines, played our parts, but that didn't mean I wasn't sincere

The problem was, no matter my intentions, when it came to her, I did not have one measly ounce of self-control

She smiled and it was so vicious that it ain, you're a fool What did you come here for then?" She asked the fa in her voice

So soft, or did I just want to hear that?
