• COMMISSION -

This had to be a dream. There was no way this could be happening. You gave yourself quite a lot of credit when it came to your imagination, but even that couldn't have thought this up in some dream or some coma.

Pinching yourself only confirmed what you had thought in the back of your mind the entire time.

This was real.

Your eyes found her body once again, confident that this wasn't a figment of your warped psyche, you admired her fully this time. Taking it all in. Every gorgeous inch of her.

The stockings that covered her meaty thighs and supple legs - her pink toes all wrapped up.

Tiger-Stripe lingerie, hugging her ample chest and rounded stomach. She wore it well, fitting snug around her bust.

Her full, luscious lips, plump and pink, pursed in a small pout.

The thick, highlighted hair flowing around the bed, a wave of seduction.

She was waiting for you. You were all hers now and you were all she could think about. It was a comforting thought to know that you were the single occupant of her mind.

You should have realised that to be so focussed upon surely meant that she was after you for more than what was originally intended.

Yet you were blinded by your lust for her. Thinking yourself to be so lucky that she wanted you.

Oh she wanted you all right. She wanted you real close.

She stretched out her arm lazily towards you, giving a soft sigh as her fingers curled towards her body, beckoning you closer. Her body shifted slightly, moving, making space. Opening up to allow you room. She was awful lonely on that big bed.

Your mind could only hit one gear, dulled and ensnared by her beauty. You were putty in her hands. Her plaything. To do with what she pleased.

Were you really going to make her wait much longer?

Aw you didn't think I'd forgotten about this gal did ya?

It's been a fairly long while since I put up a picture of Mary-Rose in my gallery - three months(!) - and while she's been rather active elsewhere, it felt good to bring her home.

Writing for this Hippo is always a challenge. It's not a difficult challenge or an easy one, it is what it is and it allows me to get into the mind of someone completely different. Someone that is the main reason my horizons are as broad as they are.

I am always a little worried each time I upload Mary-Rose that I will somehow be unable to put a story to the picture she stars in. But I always pull through in the end, kicking and screaming.

She has that effect on me.

Anyway, enough about how this Hippo has burrowed her way into my mind and onto the picture itself!

It's a wonderful piece that :strider_orionicon: put together with very little input on my end. The only details I gave were some references to the outfit. Other than that, I gave complete creative control up. It's something I'm finding myself doing a lot more with my characters.

While knowing what you want is perfectly fine, the surprise you receive in the end from handing over control is second to none! As was definitely the case with this picture.

It's Mary-Rose at her most natural, looking her most stunning. I love it.

Enjoy!
