I laughed, slapping him lightly on his chest. “No, I actually finished a piece, but I don’t think I can use it.” I sighed sadly because I really did love that painting.
“Can I see?”
I took him by the hand and led him to an easel with a sheet over it now the paint had dried. Pulling it off, I stood in silence and let him take it in.
He didn’t say a word for a few minutes; in fact, it was so long that my heart hammered so loudly in my chest that I was sure he’d be able to hear it.
Unable to cope with the silence any longer, I moved to walk away, but his hand circled my wrist, pulling me back to his chest, his mouth ghosting my ear.
“Nee, is this me?”
I paused, pushing the hair that had come loose from my ponytail back from my face. “It is. I didn’t think anyone would know, but Lea recognized you instantly, so I think I should pull it from the show.”
“Do I get a say?” he murmured, pressing kisses along my neck.
“Of course. I would never use your image without checking with you first.”
“I want you to use it, but don’t sell it. I want to buy it. I want it in my house. It’s stunning, Nee.”
I blushed. Showing my art always made me feel vulnerable, as if I was tearing my heart out for the public to have an opinion on.
“You don’t have to buy it… it’s yours.”
“No. I want to buy it.”
“It’s what I think about doing to you,” I admitted. “I know you don’t want to be tied up so you can’t move your arms, but the photo you loved of that man bound as if he was offering his body to someone… God, it makes me hot. The thought of seeing you like that for me. It’s what started the idea for this painting. My only worry is I create a whole exhibition that is based on you.”
He chuckled. “Leave out my tattoos and you wouldn’t know it was me. Then you can use me as your muse as much as you want.”
I rolled my bottom lip between my teeth as I stared at him, my body pulsing to feel him inside me again.
“You don’t care what the public thinks or if the press makes it a big deal?”
“They will guess and speculate, but I’m not worried.”
“And your record label?”
“Are relaxed and open to most things. You know about Grayson from the Cosmic Gods, right? He’s married to a man and a woman.”
I stared at him, not sure what to say next, but wishing he was naked on his knees worshiping me right now.
“If you keep looking at me like that, Ionee, you’re going to make me very hard and I’ll have to do very indecent things to you right here in your studio.”
I bit down on my lip while I batted my eyes at him suggestively. “Would that be so bad?”
“It wouldn’t, but I have to go meet my sisters and sort Mum’s discharge.”
I groaned frustratedly, making him laugh.
“How about I come back to your place when I’m done?”
“Yeah?”
He pressed another kiss to my lips before biting down on the bottom one, tugging it between his teeth. “You wanna try tying me like that?” He twitched his head to the painting. “I think I’d be okay if we started with one side. You could start at my ankle and work your way up.”
“Fuck, yes,” I whispered, pleasure rushing between my thighs.
“Okay, I need to go, but I’ll see you in a couple of hours.”
