Kayo didn’t really need makeup.
Of course, there were times when wearing it was part of her cover on some assignment or other, and yes, sometimes the social responsibilities she held as part of the Tracy family called for the judicious application of makeup. Most of the time, she went for subtle hues that complimented the fine features and lovely complexion she had been blessed with.
However, there were times when the situation called for drama. Cat-eye liner and cherry red lipstick always made Virgil’s pulse quicken just a bit.
Tonight, he tied his tie and watched her outline her lush mouth with a shade of lipstick that would make Thunderbird Three jealous. Time and again, Kayo dipped the tiny brush into the pot and applied it to her skin, with just as much care as he took at his easel. When she was satisfied, she laid down her brush and picked up her eyeliner pen, decorating her lids with a sexy flare that elongated her faintly almond-shaped eyes.
She looked up and caught him staring at her, and her smile made him want to bear her back to the bed and kiss the scarlet lipstick off.
“Stop that,” she purred.
“Stop what?”
She chuckled. “I know that look, Virgil Grissom.”
He laughed and went to gather her in his arms. “You think they’d miss us?”
“Scott would be furious if we didn’t show.”
Virgil kissed her bare shoulder and started up her neck. “Mmm, he’s just jealous.”
“Probably,” she agreed, stepping out of his reach to clip on a pair of diamond earrings that had been her mother’s. “Let’s not provoke him, though.”
He sighed and caught up his snowy silk scarf. “You’re right, as usual.” He grinned. “But can I convince you to wear something special to a very exclusive after-party?”
She raised an eyebrow. “What did you have in mind?”
He turned back and grabbed up the tube of lip color, laying it in her palm. “Your ensemble for the evening, my love.”
Kayo laughed. “With an invitation like that, how could I say no?”
Rawrrr, lipstick dreaming ?
Virg is such a guy…I think this is one of the reasons we love him so much ? Lovely piece.
I always get so excited when I see a photo with your avatar beside it ? It’s always She’s been writing again!!! ::bounces and eats words with eyeballs :D::
