Chapter 2 is nearly done!

“Come here,” I said, beckoning him to move closer as I
held up the brush. “This will darken your eyelashes, though it must be
carefully applied or it will smudge. Lower your gaze.”He did as bidden and I applied the cosmetic to both eyes. “Look
up at me now,” I commanded, regarding my handiwork critically for mistakes
before taking in the overall effect. When he turned that azure gaze upon me I nearly
dropped the brush in my lap. The dark cosmetic served to enhance his eyes so
dramatically, it lent an almost otherworldly cast to his eyes.“How does it look?”
“Like the crystal ocean waters at Ios,” I whispered, so
captivated I nearly forgot to breathe.His eyebrows drew together. “Really?”
I blinked, the spell broken. “Or so I’m told,” I said and
cleared my throat.
I’m so excited for this!
