There was something about mahogany wood that teleported Monk to a different timeframe in the world. Somewhere medieval and old.
The desk was made out of the smooth wood, moving like silk underneath his calloused fingertips. With its rich, red grain complexion and the deeply elegant curves, the luxurious shine of its polished surface, the antique desk was truly a fine masterpiece.
It reminded him of old battles and secret love hidden from all other eyes. The graceful lines and the hard texture blending into a perfect mixture of female and male.
Too bad the damn thing cost so much.
