In your mutual nakedness, there is no pretense of modesty, no anxiety about exposure. Because there is no towel or sheet to get in the way, there are no areas off-limits, nothing skipped over or deprived of attention. His strong, skilled palms glide across your oiled, silken skin, kneading and stroking your muscles until they loosen and melt. The outside world, tensions, and thoughts simply drift away as you surrender to his touch and realize you are completely In His Hands.
Despite going to school and becoming a licensed massage therapist many years ago, I had never translated that part of my life into a painting until now. It is a bit odd considering how inherently sensual it is.
