It is soft like silk but it has a surprising amount of body in it.It is soft like silk but it has a surprising amount of body in it. His eyes were closed, his eyelids almost translucent, his eyebrows long and thin, almost feminine. The boy's lips are pale and full and they are open slightly, revealing perfectly shaped white teeth. His skin is much darker than mine, a golden-bronze from head to toe, not even a shade lighter at his thighs and hips because for the last two months he has spent almost every afternoon in the nude. He tans beautifully but he has the advantage of his heritage. His rich dark tan comes from our two months together on Phaenon. I should explain that Phaenon is our 34 foot yacht. Built in Canada in 1990 and engineered to one of the highest standards in the world, the boat is something Rafael and I treasure for the wonderful times that we have shared aboard it. This summer we spent two and a half glorious months cruising down the Inter-coastal Waterway to Florida, and then across to the Bahamas and the other islands of the Caribbean. We returned only two days ago. I decided, as I looked at him, that he is incredibly beautiful and I gently brush the smooth satin skin with my hand. |
