For some reason, I don't think I've posted this here before, so here it is. 'Through the Gauze', an illustration I did for Katjen's AU fanfic, 'Bad Touch'. (For Day 7 of Rogue & Gambit Week, 'AU')
She sinks into the gauze, the layers upon layers making it soft as a pillow against her back. She slides her hand between the folds, looks at it through the sheer material, and suddenly his hand is there too pressing against it, palm over palm.
He understands.
His nails lightly scratch down her fingers, her palm, as he curls his hand, fisting the gauze. He lifts it just high enough for her to step under, and it settles over her body, weightless, soft. She watches him through the pale pink veil, watches him come closer and she thinks of Cody like this, his face so close, his lips so close…
She feels herself start to panic…
And then the sudden slow crush of his mouth against hers stealing her breath making her dizzy and weak-kneed.
- Chapter8, 'Pasiphae'
