This
particular avatar had been crafted into a ruggedly handsome, if
stereotypically human, male. Thick blond hair left a shade too long
framed his face perfectly; darker brows arched over eyes the most
glorious shade of deep blue she’d ever seen. He was broad shouldered and
athletic, and the thin, snug-fitting one-piece in gray outlined the
well-defined musculature of his torso in a way no doubt intended to draw
attention and tease the imagination of potential clients. A shapely
hint of what lay beneath without full disclosure, like the metallic foil
used to cover chocolate treats. Also a complete contrast to the man
she’d hoped to see, and all too perfect to be real.

ReplyDeleteIt's okay that I was thinking of the delicious Tom Hopper (Percival from Merlin) as the avatar?Yes? Marvellous!
Didn't he have his kit off in Merlin last night? In which case yes, not far off. :P
DeleteFabulous description! I'm curious to know what she is looking for?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jessica. Right now she wants a starship home. :)
DeleteOoo, fantastic 6 Pippa! He sounds delicious--uh, I mean, handsome!! teehee ;)
ReplyDeleteSo she says...
ReplyDeleteVery intriguing!
;-)
He sounds like a delicious treat. All wrapped in foil and ready. Great Six. Loved it.
ReplyDeleteoh my...what a description! Love the candy wrapper reference. If she doesn't want to be serviced by him, erm, I mean have his service, well...I'm sure there are plenty who do hehe
ReplyDeleteFantastic descriptions...Loved it!
ReplyDeleteLove the idea of service avatars and I admire her self-control. ;)
ReplyDeleteJust a little confusing having you both on SFFSat and Six Sentence Sunday and giving us stuff on SSS we've already had on SFF. You make him sound like a blond Superman in gray.
ReplyDeleteHe sounds tempting! Great description!
ReplyDeleteVery nice 6! Love the chocolate wrapper line.
ReplyDeleteHehehe. But I'm guessing that she does need, and will get, his services?
