Ruby
by Sparks In Shadow

Photo by Ré Harris
The jewel-toned silk sank into his memory as she strode past, deepest ruby trailing on the wind behind her, shifting in dimension, thick with shadow, catching light. Flashes of heel as the fabric rose and fell, distracted him from the strangeness of traveling on five inch slivers, igniting regard for the art of having mastered it. He followed her, drink in hand.
Turning her head to the side as if caught by a sound, she paused, waiting.
He stopped. Invite me, he intoned, silent.
She smiled, adding a barely perceptible sway, drawing him in the wake of her consent.
The prompt was “Ruby” from Julia.

I loved the palpable desire here.
Glad I got that across, Jessie. Thanks!
I can hear and feel the sizzle. Ouch. Hot!
You made me smile. Thanks!
Sensuously colorful!
Thanks, Ms. Empress!
LOVE this. i wore high heels myself – in a video once…made my legs look great. the cool/funny part of it was going to the “big girls” shop in NYC to get them – i have 11/2 feet – and all the drag queens were there watching me walk around in them as i chose a pair.
actually i posted the video on my blog. anyway, i enjoyed the mystery of this one Re. continue…
I’ve got to go look at that video, Tony. I’m so glad you like this one. (Thanks for the caps!)
Ooo I like this. Red is such a HOT colour and this piece is sizzling. Great work.
Glad I could get that sizzle across. Thank for the ooo!
Awesome! And beautiful picture, too.
Thanks, Ashley. I was lucky to come across HBunny’s photo.
Evocative. =)
Thanks!
I particularly love the visuals here. Shifting in dimension, thick with shadow but yet still catching light — this really worked for me. Great piece.
Thank you!
‘The wake of her consent’ so passionate, love it
I hoped the passion came through. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Almost poetically passionate. A great piece. Cold shower now I think …
This has such a mysterious feel to it alongside the desire. I want to know who she is – certainly no ordinary woman!
Thanks! I’m so glad you like it.
So much desire in this piece …. ignited by the sensuality and passion of that ruby red dress.
If I hadn’t written it, your comment would make me seek it out — thank you so much!
Captivating, alluring, evocative – in all respects. Who’d not want to be that man? That first sentence … wow!
Thank you, Ventahl. I’m glad you like it.
Absolutely excellent, Ré.
Thanks, Al.
Such a vibrant and colourful piece.
Thank you, Susan.
You have filled the piece with colorful intrigue…Thanks!
Thank you. I’m glad you liked it.
Love the confidence and sensual awareness of this woman. An alluring and most excellent piece!
Thanks. I like her, too!
Most excellent and well crafted.
Thanks.
How sensuous is this! Brilliant! I love the flow of the whole thing that mirrors the flow of the lady!
Thanks, Julia!
