#MWTease
An hour later, Dominic left the
Monet exhibition, and wandered along to the top room of the art gallery. He saw
the young woman the moment he reached the top of the stairs. She sat part way
down the left hand side on one of the blue benches. Dominic couldn’t tear his
gaze away as he edged closer to where she sat.
She wore a pale-pink, suit jacket
and her glossy chestnut hair fell down her back almost to her waist. Her
lightly tanned legs were bare and she wore bright pink, high-heeled pumps.
Dominic couldn’t see a skirt. Intrigued, he stopped at the painting adjacent to
the one she sat in front of, and cast a secret glance at her. Shorts, mmm,
she’s beautiful.
He passed behind the bench trying
to ascertain if she wore a wedding ring. Luck gave him a perfect opportunity as
she moved her hair from her face, giving him a delightful view of a naked
wedding band finger and her lovely profile. Dominic’s heart raced. Surprise at
his reaction to the young woman gripped him and he walked rapidly across the
width of the gallery to stand before an ocean scene and try to collect his
swirling thoughts.
