Escaping Wonderland Art 4

Here is the fourth illustration from Escaping Wonderland featuring Shadow and Alice from chapter 5. I love, love, love the way Shadow is looking at Alice, the grasp of his hand on her calf, and way his fingers are peeling up her stocking. ?‍? The background is so whimsical with all the glowing mushrooms. It's so pretty. ?

Scene Snippet:

He pursed his lips and furrowed his brow, making another thoughtful humming sound. He sank into a crouch, extending an arm and settling his palm on her bare thigh just beneath the hem of her skirt and above the top of her striped stocking. She sucked in a sharp breath. His hand was so warm, so soft, and yet also so solid and strong, that she found herself unable to immediately react; it felt good.

Shadow slid his palm down her leg, catching the stocking and drawing it down, too. He brushed his thumb over her knee, and his fingertips grazed the sensitive flesh behind her knee before moving lower. His hand cupped her calf. A shiver stole through her, and warmth pooled between her legs.

“What are you doing?” She couldn’t muster the willpower to pull away from him.

His hand finally stopped at her foot, which looked tiny compared to his long fingers.

“Your legs are rather shorter than mine. Though I must say, they are”—his tongue slipped out and ran over his lips—“perfect.” With his other hand, he lifted her foot and peeled the stocking off completely, his fingers trailing over her sole.

His touch, combined with his words, sent a bolt of desire straight to her core. She couldn’t tell based on the hungry look in his eyes and the flash of his fangs whether he intended to bite her or taste her, but she found both options oddly thrilling.
