A Painting of Orchids
Prologue
~
A blaze of crimson hair cascading downwards upon porcelain skin, so smooth, so flawless, silk to touch. A gaze of amethyst peers from within a prison of fiery tresses framed by arched brows. He gazes at nothing, perhaps into the darkness seeing what the other cannot. His skin is bare, caressed by the wind. Eyes close and sensual lips part in a breathless gasp... The other is watching, vivid gaze fixed upon the powerfully framed man, standing amidst the darkness and the wind...so perfect...
The night had grown stale, the moon tired in its wake across the sky. The stars were dimming with the beckoning of the lark and Aurora was climbing the horizon in her scarlet and gold gown.
Within a sleeping city, a gentle breeze stirred, tickling a lock of scarlet hair against dark lips, parted in sleep. A handsome form lay sleeping upon his desk, head cushioned by folded arms. And a subtle fragrance fell to his nostrils, so faint and cautious, the orchids, bowed in submission to the wind, woke him from his slumber.
He soon woke, sleep dulled amethyst peeking out from half fallen lids. A yawn stretched his mouth, rendering him comical despite frosty, handsome appearances. The sleep had shortly fallen from his face and the man awake when Aurora's golden hair, the sun, began to climb into the sky. A pale shaft of light fell upon his hair, rendering it a hazy scarlet, an angel of red. But before the morning arrived, his mind would be wandering, wondering upon his dream. Who had watched? Who had he sensed as he stood in the darkness alone?
"Who are you?" a fathomless voice murmured to the young morning. "Why do you only watch?"
