I am late getting my Tantalyzing Tuesday Teaser up. I am SO sorry. Our Tuesday challenge is for participating authors to select a photograph that moves them in some way to write a 200 word story. Sounds relatively easy, but it is not to which I can testify today.
I hope you enjoy my short. If you do, please leave me a comment below and have a visit to the other participating authors blogs indulging yourself in their quickies. You will find them all listed below like falling petals or at the link above.

She stared as he walked onstage: a towering, self-assured black
man, arms outstretched in leather to embrace the audience – to embrace her. His
piercing gaze irresistibly locked onto her, in all her radiant purity. His eyes
declared his hunger.
The opera house erupted in his full bass-baritone harmony.
He sang to no one but her as she smiled. Each note he sang strummed every nerve
in her very foundation. His musical
seduction began, and will end, in his outstretched arms.
Her petals slowly filled with her eager response and unfolded
their protection of her pearl as she answered his desire with a blush.
