Much love and thanks to Velvet for choosing my post last week. This week's prompt was "sleek".
Maggie felt the silk slide over her skin, soft as morning dew on the petals of a flower.

“That's hot!” said the salesgirl. “It makes your body so sleek and sexy.”
“Sleek?” she mused out loud.
“Yes, sleek. Sleek is good, like a jungle cat.”
“No. Sleek is....well....sleek. I don't do sleek. I'm more a 'rough around the edges' kind of girl,” declared Maggie. “Y'know? Unfinished, unrefined, undone. Never sleek. Sexy-messy. Now, that. Is me.” she said, pointing to an edgy linen pantsuit hanging nearby.
“Yeah, well. Sexy-messy never got anyone a man.” muttered the clerk.
Ha! This was great. I'm a linen kinda girl too, but sometimes sleek is good.
