   Summary

   “I feel I must ask something of you,” Basil began to speak as he busied himself with the task of gathering up various paints.

   “Ask then, Basil. I hate suspense and I’m terribly impatient.” Dorian sighed, observing Basil’s movements as the man continued to sort through his paints. The care with which Basil chose the colors flattered Dorian immensely.

   “You see, In all of my art, you are heavily clothed, Dorian. I- I find that I wish to paint your natural figure.”

   Basil wants to paint his Dorian in a different light.
