Strange.
Strange and exciting this new body he'd given her.
Same one she'd had for years, never happy with it, until he traced it with his hands, posed it and painted it with kisses, stepping back to admire the mature masterpiece she was.
She now saw what he saw.
Touched how he touched.
Thrilled by what he'd made of her... without changing a beautiful thing.
