Sketchy Behavior

RayVeness is on the phone when Rico walks in, sketchbook open, eyes all over her. She has no clue what he’s up to, but the second she hangs up he bolts. Next day she’s cleaning the bedroom, and there he is again, pencil scratching while he steals looks. She catches him, smiles, asks what he needs—he’s gone before she finishes the sentence. Third time’s in the living room. She’s on the couch with a magazine, he sneaks in, and this time she’s quick enough to grab him. He tries to hide the pages, but she pushes, reminds him who’s footing the bill for art school. He flips the book open. It’s all her—every curve, every line. She’s flattered, tells him if he wants the full picture she’ll give it to him. Clothes come off one by one until she’s bare. He drops the sketchbook, hands go everywhere, and the two of them end up tangled on the couch, tongues and fingers greedy, pushing every button until the room smells like sweat and satisfaction.
