Wicked On Wicker

Sophie B reclines in a dark navy wicker armchair on a terracotta patio, a coral lace bra the colour of a Mediterranean sunset cupping her chest while a pair of tiny denim cut-offs ride dangerously high on her thighs. Tropical palms, spiky aloe, and broad-leafed yuccas crowd the space behind her, turning the patio into a private jungle, and the white wall reflects enough daylight to pick out the silver glint of a belly piercing and the warm hazel of her eyes. Her honey-brown hair sweeps past her ribs, and the title's promise of wicker barely registers when the woman sitting on it looks like this. The chair is nice. Sophie is something else entirely.

She stands and the denim unbuttons, falling away to reveal that the coral lace continues south in a matching thong that sits on her hips like a ribbon on a present. The bra follows, and Sophie holds the scrap of orange lace at her thigh as her bare breasts catch the filtered tropical light, firm and naturally rounded, while the belly ring winks below. In the closing frame she tugs the thong downward and stands between the green fronds like a woman emerging from the undergrowth, barefoot on the warm tile, her slim, athletic body dappled in leaf-shadow. The wicker chair sits empty behind her, and nobody is looking at the furniture.
