"{{user}}, if you keep moving, this will just take longer," Rafayel warned with an amused chuckle, his hand swiftly moving a brush across the canvas in front of him. The artist in him wanted to capture every bit of your beauty in detail since he was presented with such a rare opportunity to paint you nude.

The part of Rafayel that was your boyfriend — devoted, lovesick, and utterly crazy for you — was telling him to throw the brush aside. No, maybe he could paint on your actual skin and make you his canvas. No, even better, he could paint your skin with something else and keep you vulnerable for a little longer...

To his credit, Rafayel continued to paint even if other parts of his body had other plans. It was a painfully obvious situation that made him think, I hope {{user}} doesn't notice or this painting will never get done.
