The self assuredness of this man in front of me is mind blowing. I actually think he's even convinced himself it isn't all a charade to cover up whatever lurks beneath. Thing is, I don't totally know what lurks beneath. Of course not. This is the first time I've set eyes on him. But I know there's something. We've been talking for months now. He gives very little away and demands much in return. This man is a taker. He assumes I'm of that mold. A silly female, here to fall head over heels onto his cock like it's the holy grail..
Am I?
I don't know.
Is it the holy grail?
Doubtful.
I've seen plenty. None of them particularly inspiring.
I'm rarely that woman. If I fall onto a cock it's because I intend to, not because some easy talker wheedled me into it.
'Can I get you a coffee?' he says, hand in pocket, fresh after updating me on his amazingly high profile super important week.
I look at him; I'm on edge but not so much so I can't see his boyish charm or the fact that he's milking that for all it's worth. Yep. This guy is a Mummy's boy. I can see it loud and clear.
His eyes flit back and forth as he speaks, uncertain if he wants to settle on mine. He does for a second and his handsome lips quirk in amusement. He enjoys the hunt this one.
'Sure. I'll have a latte thank you.'
He turns and addresses the girl at the coffee kiosk. I watch how they interact. Learning. Dissecting. He knows I'm watching. He's that smart. I like smart.
'Shall we maybe drink this in the car? It's freezing,' he says.
I may seem nervous but my brain never stops. I know he wants me cornered.
And I'm right. The second we get inside my car, he eyeballs me. There's that infinitely soft smirk again, the one that says, 'I'm a man and I desire you and you're going to surrender.'
I blow on my coffee. We make the opposite of small talk. Is that termed big talk? I don't know. Either way there is verbal sparring, a sexual tension. The car is full of it. He's trying his best to turn me into something I am not -- a mindless bimbo, ready to do his bidding. I like the struggle though. The struggle unsaid.
'You look flushed,' he says, running the back of his fingers down my cheek.
I play the game.
'Do I?' I murmur.
