#atozchallenge: Lipstick

It wasn't the smell of unfamiliar perfume that did it. It was the dark, rusty red lipstick that stained the collar of his shirt that made her freeze like a broken down robot, the offensive collar stretched out in front of her by trembling hands. She wasn't sure what to do next, so she just stood there staring at it.

  4. Hi, I am your newest follower from the A to Z, challenge. I am number 528 on the sign up list. Interesting and steamy excerpt from your story. I think I will have to start from the beginning, to understand where you are in the story.
