PART TWO

He figured it had to be a hoax. Five thousand dollars to paint a nude portrait? Who the hell advertised for something like that on Craig’s List? Ian sat there in his boxer briefs, chewing on a slice of leftover pizza and contemplating the phone number in the ad.

He was still convinced it was some sort of joke when he pulled his Dodge Shadow up to the address the man had given him on the phone. He double-checked the Mapquest directions just to be sure it wasn’t 1313 Mockingbird Lane before he knocked on the door. He couldn’t find a doorbell.

He fully expected Lurch to answer—instead, he got Uncle Fester.

“Hi, I’m here about the painting,” Ian said when Fester just stood in the doorway and stared. He wanted to shade his eyes, because the sun was actually glaring off the bald man’s head. “I mean…I’m here to do the painting. We talked…on the phone?”

The old man gave a stiff nod, stepping aside to let him in and Ian followed, blinking around at the spacious foyer, the spiral staircase. Every surface shined, and he understood immediately that the ad wasn’t a joke, and unless this guy was into some weird sex stuff or something—in which case he was pretty sure he could outrun an old man who walked with a cane—he was actually going to get paid five-thousand dollars to paint. The thought excited him.

“Upstairs.”

The guy was about as talkative as Lurch, Ian thought wryly as he climbed the stairs, unable to shake the surreal feeling that he’d walked into the pages of some gothic novel. The old man’s gnarled, arthritic hand turned the knob on a door at the top of the stairs, swinging it open. Ian’s eyes widened at the sight of the room, resplendent, the light from the windows warm and perfect for painting.

“Beautiful,” Ian murmured, stepping into the room, and although he was talking about the light, his eyes fell onto the most beautiful sight he’d ever seen in his life. He had to blink several times to make sure he wasn’t seeing things as he took in the figure of a woman, half-reclining and fully nude on a settee. Her face was expectant, her eyes bright, as she watched them enter the room, and Ian noticed a book spread open on the seat beside her.

“My wife.” Kauffman made the gruff introduction. “You will paint her there, on that settee.”

Ian blinked, glancing between the old man and the obviously young woman. She couldn’t have been any older than he was, barely out of college, and although he had drawn, sculpted and painted countless nudes without a thought of sex, there was no doubt that she aroused him. Perhaps it was the shock of it—had she been waiting for him to arrive this way, remaining nude, waiting for the artist?

“Well, that’s fine.” Ian filled the sudden silence, clearing his throat. “Nice to meet you, Mrs…?”

The women opened her mouth, but put her hand to her throat, and it was the first time Ian noticed the black choker there, her only adornment.
