<strong> Valerie Tyree (http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y200/babycakes_0765/Steampunk/Virginia.jpg) with Hector Cobblepot in the artist domain ....where they are heading is anyone's game  .</strong><br/><br/>Valerie's heart raced ..it pounded with such force that made her breath go shallow ....as the man spoke of painting her naked flesh the images that rolled in her mind . Oh it was becoming quite warm all of a sudden ...mean she half expected him to explain that was not appropriate . Instead he had seemed a bit shocked in the beginning ..and all that hitting himself . She knew not what to make of that but we each have our peculiar quirks . Biting her lip as she could almost feel the wetness in her clean panties , oh dear this was not so good. Valerie did not quite understand all her bodily reactions sometimes but indeed had the realization that she indeed wanted to feel the painters brush on her flesh .<br/><br/>Sir Cobblepot seemed to be scurrying about collecting things ....which made Valerie a bit confused . She had thought what she had proposed was an either or situation . Staying here and letting him paint her naked body or going to her chambers and having him help decide what best it would be to wear . The idea of him spilling paint in her bedchambers was just ...oh my not acceptable at all . The room had been perfectly designed by Lee Chang to fit her personality a room fit for a little princess . Smiling as she remembered seeing it when completed . She had danced about in glee up on her tip toes ..hugging him so tightly . Yes indeed Lee Chang was like a second father to her or an older brother that had stepped in to protect her from the World .<br/><br/>Watching as the man returned ...Valerie smiled at him .<strong>" I am afraid I can not allow you to make a mess in my bedchambers ...painting there will not be acceptable. But yes lets go forth ...have a drink and a bit of food , continue our delightful conversation on beauty and the refinement of it . Then come back here ....and I can disrobe and let you paint using my body as the canvas . "</strong>as she nodded her head .<strong>" Yes indeed that shall be the schedule of things ...I will put off my attendance in the Playground to another night . This has a higher value I do think . Mean I will be socializing with fellow comrade in the arts just more privately . "</strong>nodding her head to confirm the decision as final .<br/><br/>Letting him drop his wares and tools and canvas ....figuring he might like a sketch pad or what not ...of course she took the bottle of brandy from him . Soon looped her arm in his ...and proceeded to head to her neck of the woods. Opening the gate and walking in past the front outer shop ...cutting a brisk path through her own little workshop behind the curtain to a large black door as she open it and stepped to one side .<strong> " Please feel free to look about ...this is my inner most sanctuary a place I come for inspiration ...I know it is a bit rich and luxurious but I do think all women deserve to pamper themselves if they are a real lady . "</strong>looking up into his eyes hoping that he agreed .<br/><br/>Valerie made her way inside ... the fireplace grew dim but two chairs were set up to entertain company . Patting at the back of one ...<strong>" Please have a seat ...."</strong>as she placed the painting she had just purchased down . The woman's bed across the way ....the quaint bathroom area on the other side of the room everything visible . Behind two now closed white french style doors was a walk in closet that most women would faint upon looking inside as it was almost as big as her bedchambers themselves.  Valerie moved to open a small ice box ...and pulled out a platter which indeed had several cucumber sandwiches on it .  Moving back to place it on the table pulling off the lid  and handing the man a couple of glasses .<strong>" Now do tell me Sir Cobblepot ...what excited you the most and drew you into the world of painting . "  </strong><br/><br/>Taking her own seat across from him as she raised her one leg over the other ...letting the ruffles bottom of her dress creep up her thigh some . As she took a sandwich and nibbled on it waiting for his answer . Trying to remember how many niceties like sentences were needed to  be considered a nice conversation to get to know each other . As to be quite honest ...Valerie was wanting to change her clothes into a robe and get started . She must not seem to eager though as that might make the man across from her think she was not a proper lady and that was something Valerie found to be a treasure to maintain.
