- Chapter 17
- She was standing talking to one of her former art instructors from college when her eyes yet again drifted across the room towards Isaias. He was a very good–looking man and the easy, laid back demeanor he possessed charmed the room expertly, ife was easily six feet and three or four inches tall with thick black hair, eyes dark as coal and teeth white as pearls. His teeth were crooked, She’d noticed it right away when she had interrupted him at the restaurant. His bottom teeth were not perfect, and his top teeth were gapped just a bit too much. The man had never had braces, it was certain. Yet, it added to his charm. He was debonair and suave as he flirted with the older ladies who had come in fashionably late to an art show and more than once boldly refuted the advances of the younger ones. His complexion was a golden hue she would describe as ochre. He was strong and muscular, and he walked with the lithe grace of a lion or a panther. She wondered what it would be like to be stalked and hunted by him. A strange desire to play naked hide and seek filtered in her head. She gave it shake.
- He saw her ogling him from across the room and overtly winked in her direction.
- “Is he your new beau?” Alexis, her old instructor, asked with a sleways nudge.
- “No. He’s a new friend.”
- “You should convince him to let you paint him. I bet he’d look good in golds and reds.” Alexis spoke naughtily, “and if you* missed my meaning, I meant you should use him as the canvas.”
- She slapped at Alexis‘ playful words with a laugh, “you are still incorrigible.”
- “Art comes in many forms and not all of it needs to be shared with outsiders. If I were thirty years younger, I’d have had him in the alleyway out back hours ago.” She clicked her tongue appreciatively as the man in question, still talking to the small group at the other side of the room had his eyes firmly fixed on Liesl, “though I think his eyes are only for one woman in this room.”
- “Again, we just met. It’s not like that,” yet she couldn’t tear her eyes away from him. Earlier she had shown him her paintings, discussed them and then he’d left her to engage with her guests. He’d popped in and out but unlike Merl who had stuck to her side and monopolized the conversation, often speaking for her, he had listened to each conversation. He did not even attempt to answer for her and neither did he diminish the value of her work with pronouns such as “we” and “our” like her ex used to do. It had grated on Janka’s nerves when Merl had done so when they were together, causing her friend to often loudly question how he contributed
- to Liesl’s art.
- She watched as he made his apologies to the group and headed in her direction. Alexis snickered her goodbye with a blunt comment about Liesl taking him into the alley causing Liesl to hiss at her to be quiet as the woman cackled and danced away.
- “She seems a character,” Isaias said with a smile.
- “You don’t even want to know.”
- He was bold and stepped closer to her, “what if I do.”
- “She told me to take you into the alley and blow you,” she said bluntly, knowing her cheeks were as red as the paint on much of her canvas behind her yet unable to stop herself.
- “I wouldn’t go for it,” he chuckled. “I think our first time should be far sexier than an alley. Maybe the next show though.”
- “Oh my god!” she squealed, and he laughed and hugged her to his chest. She felt his lips on the top of her head and was surprised at both the hug and the affectionate kiss.
- “You are gorgeous when you blush.”
- A
- “What are we doing?” she asked as he didn’t release her and kept her in a hug, drawing gazes around the room, and very inappropriate thrusting motions from behind him by Janka and Elsie. She quickly averted her gaze.

- “I like you Liesl. You have spunk and tenacity, not to mention talent in spades. I would like to spend more time with you.”
- “You would?”
- “I very much would.”
