"Hey."
Catherine tried to ignore the interruption as she slowly took a sip of her macchiato and flipped to the next page of her book. Her mother's admonishment that 'hay' was for horses from so many years ago resurfaced in her memories for a moment before being chased away by the scene being painted by the words she was reading.
"You look really hot!"
Catherine sighed and glanced up to find a young man maybe in his early twenties with gray cargo shorts barley managing not to fall off of his hips, a baggy t shirt with a band logo she didn't recognize, and one side of his hair down to his shoulders while the other side had been shaved close to his scalp. He wasn't unattractive even with the gauges in his ears and studs in his nose and eyebrows and she rather liked his tall, slim figure, wide chest and muscular arms. Catherine let her eyes linger for another few moments before looking up directly into his eyes.
"I've been told that before," Catherine said simply, a fingertip marking the spot in her book.
The young man stood staring at Catherine, his eyes glancing down to her skirt occasionally while he waited for her to say more.
"You're in my light," Catherine finally added when it became obvious the young man wasn't going to move.
"You don't have to be so bitchy," they young man shot back.
Catherine sat her book down and looked up until she caught the young man's eyes again.
"I don't believe 'Hey' and 'You're bitchy' are really ideal ways to get your dick wet, do you?" she asked politely.
"You're the slut wearing the come fuck me now outfit!" the young man said angrily, "I'm just trying to do some old bitch a favor and give her some dick!"
Catherine smiled broadly and shifted her bare feet just enough to feel the rough, sun warmed concrete through her soles which just also happened to spread her legs just a little wider. She continued to stare at the young man while reaching a hand slowly down to lift the edge of her skirt just a little higher. Since the black leather fabric normally just barely covered her mound she didn't have to lift it to much so that she could press the tip of her index finger against her hood to caress the hard nub of her clit beneath the soft fold of skin.
"Why would you think I want dick?" Catherine asked while the tip of her finger circled the hard nub of her clit, "Especially tiny little dick that I couldn't even feel stretching me open?"
"Oh, so you're a fucking les..." the young man began before being suddenly cut off.
"Enough," a deep tenor voice cut in, "Take off."
Catherine glanced to the side to see a tall man with salt and pepper hair and a close shaved beard and mustache that showed more white than black walking between the tables of the outdoor caffe towards the young man. He was even taller than the young man with the weathered skin and wide muscular chest of someone who spent most of their time working outside. Tiny crows feet spread from the corner of his eyes as he glared at the young man who was openly glaring back.
The young man continued to glare at the newcomer for a moment and then glanced towards the waitress standing by the door to the café who had also been watching the exchange. With a final glare at the newcomer and a lingering glance at Catherine's finger still pressed against her hood the young man turned and stormed off without another word.
"I'm Peter," the man said as he walked towards Catherine.
"And white knights are just as annoying as little boys," Catherine replied.
"What?" Peter said while feigning confusion, "Oh, no, the little shit was blocking the only free table there was."
Catherine chanced a glance around the outdoor patio which was indeed full of midafternoon patrons except for the table he was standing next to before returning her attention on Peter.
"And he was blocking the view," Peter added with a grin as he sat down facing Catherine.
"Really," Catherine replied and moved her feet again to savor the rough, hot feel of concrete against her bare feet.
Peter smiled as Catherine's move spread her legs while he stared unabashed and sipped his coffee with a small half grin. Catherine took a sip of her own coffee and returned to her book, the occasional passerby on the sidewalk stumbling with a glance towards her, a boy who might... just barely have been old enough to buy a beer crossing the street to circle back for a slow stroll past for a second much longer look.
Summer was Catherine's favorite time of the year. The beautiful sun shining in a clear blue sky, the sun warmed pavement, the bite of a small rock against her bare feet, the heat that soaked into her body that she cherished while so many others bemoaned. A perfect time to wear the shortest minidresses she owned, the most sheer tops that did nothing to hide her pierced nipples and large, dark areolas.
A time for shocked glances, lingering stares, affronted glares, and the pleasure that all of those looks gave her.
