Chapter 5
âYouâre right on time.â
Adam brought one of my hands to his lips and then the other. The scent of spice wafted through his loft apartment. Whatever he had on the stove for dinner smelled heavenly.
I shrugged out of my coat, and Adam hung it on the rack in the short hallway by the door. The apartment consisted of one main room to the left of the entry way. He had a rustic dining room table with seating for six and a living area behind it with a black leather sectional, book shelves, and a flat screen TV. Behind the sofa was a half wall topped with a printed Japanese screen that looked like it hid his bedroom.
Straight ahead from the front door a windowed nook sat just off larger living area with a door to an outside patio. Adam had thrown down a canvas drop cloth under a couple of paint-splattered tables and an easel.
âSo this is where you create your artistic magic?â
He grinned. âSometimes. Sometimes itâs where a sit staring at a blank canvas and cursing.â
âIâm in awe of anyone who can create something out of nothingâwhether itâs painting or a novel. Iâm intensely uncreative.â
He waggled his finger at me. âEveryone is creative. You have to find your outlet. You teach aerobics, right? Do you have to create the routines or the movements? I have no idea what thatâs called.â
âChoreography. Same as with dancing. I guess I do create workouts for people. Still I wish I could draw, sing, or write poetry or something.â
âOh, singing. I do wish I could sing. I have the most horrific voice.â
âLetâs hear a little something.â I tugged at his sleeve.
âTrust me. That wouldnât be good for anyone.â
A stack of canvases leaned against the wall. I flipped through them. They all featured a single model in a series of portraitsâsome of them nudes.
âWho is this?â
âAn old friend of mine. She sits for me occasionally.â
âDoes she model for anyone besides you?â
âNo. She and I used to have a thing. Thatâs when I started painting her, but now weâre just friends. She still poses for me when I ask.â
âNude?â
One corner of Adamâs mouth turned upward as he shrugged. âI think it falls under the category of nothing I havenât already seen.â
âInteresting.â
I dated a photographer once. I modeled for him before and after our relationship, but not in the buff. Perhaps Adamâs artistic eye filtered the sexuality out of the situation.
One of the nude images stared back at me. The womanâs deep blue eyes were wide and round. Her plump lips pouted alluringly in a shade of rose that matched her pert nipples. Her expression was an invitation. No. Sexuality permeated the work.
I turned away from the completed paintings toward the canvas on his easel, hidden under a cloth.
âWhat are you working on now?â
âOh, Iâve just started transferring a sketch to the canvas.â
âLike an outline?â
âBasically.â He lifted the cloth away from the easel. Swooping lines and curves intersected. It looked like a face, but I couldnât be sure.
