The Scent of Desire

Gal Ritchie steps into the bedroom and catches Kenzie Taylor still fussing with her reflection. She smiles at the delay. Kenzie turns, explaining she wants to look perfect for her. Gal shrugs, says she doesn’t mind waiting, then settles into the chair to watch. Every stroke of Kenzie’s brush pulls Gal deeper into a slow-burning fantasy—Kenzie bathed in studio light, spraying perfume across the tops of her breasts, across the inside of her thighs. The scene dissolves when Kenzie glances over and notices the hunger in Gal’s eyes. She asks. Gal doesn’t bother hiding it: the date can wait. She wants her now. Kenzie laughs, soft and knowing, because it isn’t the first time Gal’s appetite has rewritten their plans.
