Visual Dare #6
Emerging
She waited in the shadow of her portrait, impatiently
twisting the ridiculous skirt that draped down her legs, heart pounding against
the patterned bodice as a flickering light approached.
“Ravyn, sir?”
Lifting her dark eyes she couldn’t help but rise at his
predatory smile, returning it with triumph as he failed to recognise her. A slight nod to the steward and she was
beckoned forth to follow coyly after his suave tread.
Replacing any trepidation with adrenaline she was determined
to unveil any secrets this man might hold. Or welcome him with a steely caress she smirked, the blade of her stiletto knife cold against her thigh as she closed the door behind them.
Another dare I was in doubt of,
From sjp.
Another one of your stories that make me wish I could read more. =)
