She hoped to feel guilt at the
attractive young man eyeing
her artfully exposed flesh,
eyes cast to capture her while
casually chatting with
his partner. But the curve of
her breast was created by
pride, a burgeoning of
vanity. So rather than
drawing the blue polka dot
material to cover
her lust, she caught his gaze and
smiled, one eyebrow slightly raised
to challenge his dedication
to fidelity.
