Rule number 1: Know your prey.
I eye him as he enters the bar. He looks good tonight; like any other night. Tight white jeans, black leather belt, two chains hanging down his thigh, pink top with the face of a roaring tiger, a vest in some sort of golden and red brocade, several necklaces decorating his chest, snakebite, eyes heavily lined with thick, black eyeliner and hot pink eyelids, shiny black hair to down past his shoulders, with streaks of green. Beautiful. He is so sure of himself that the arrogance he exudes is almost palpable. My favourite kind. They are so much fun to break.
He's chatting with his friends as they head for the bar, passing me on the way. He knows I want him, I haven't tried to hide it and he winks at me as he walks past. Tease. I nod and smirk in reply, no words necessary.
I have wanted him from the first moment I saw him and I have wasted no time beating around the bush. He didn't fall for it though, just laughed at me and told me to forget it. Forget it? No way. I am a hunter and I
always
fell my prey, sooner or later.
I have been working on him for almost five months now and I know that the time has finally come; he's gonna give in very soon, all the sign are there. Oh the thrill, it will be sweeter than any of my previous victories; I can feel it. While I have been waiting for this day to come around I have seen him here almost every week and I have watched as he has seduced several of the other guests. There is no doubt that he considers himself a hunter as well, and a pretty successful one at that, but he doesn't know what a real hunter is like. He will learn though, he will learn.
Rule number 2: Always attack when they are alone.
I give him one hour before I make my first move of the evening. I see him get up from the table he's sharing with his friends and go towards the men's room. I move to follow him.
He sees me enter but says nothing, just continues with his business. I wait until the only other man has left before I speak.
"So.... You're not even gonna say hi tonight?" I cross my arms and lean against the door; effectively making sure no one else enters before I am done. He smirks at me.
"Hi"
"Good boy, so well behaved. Tell me, what are your plans for the evening?"
"Having fun with my friends, as always" he smiles as he zips his jeans and goes to wash his hands. "And sadly, that doesn't involve you," he adds with a cheeky smile in the mirror.
"Uh baby, such harsh words!" I mock him. "You have no idea what fun I could show you!"
He laughs and waves his hands in front of him to dry them. "I'm sure it would be interesting alright but my answer is still no. Now, are you gonna let me out?"
He's standing right in front of me, mimicking my pose and the side of his mouth just slightly curled into a smile, staring me right in the eye. He thinks he's in control, he's feeling powerful because I'm the one pursuing him like a lovesick puppy but he doesn't know the first thing. He doesn't know that I read him like an open book, that I know exactly when he is gonna break and surrender. He will learn though, he will learn.
"Not yet." I let my eyes wander over his body. "You look very good tonight kid, the green a new thing?"
"Thank you, and yes."
"You're welcome." I lock his eyes in a stare. He doesn't avert his gaze and he doesn't wipe off that semi-smile; he thinks it some game we're playing. It is, I suppose, but he doesn't know that he's the prize. And that I will win no matter what.
Rule number 3: Run them tired.
"So are you having fun? With your friends?"
"Very much so."
"What kind of fun are you having?
"The relaxed kind."
"I see," I nod, "not really my kind of fun."
"How sad."
"Yes, isn't it?"
"So what's your kind of fun then?"
"My kind of fun?" I pretend to think about the question. "It's the... sweaty kind... the shivering kind... the lustful kind..." I lick my lips, imagining for the hmpth time having that kind of fun with him.
"Seems like you won't be having much fun tonight then."
"Don't be so sure of it, kid."
"Whatever you say," he giggles and shakes his head.
"Can I buy you a drink?"
"You know you have asked me that question every time we have been here for the last five months?"
"Yes."
"And have I at any point said yes?"
"No."
"So what makes you think my answer is gonna be any different tonight?"
"Two reasons: You are flattered that I have not yet relented, plus you are secretly wondering what will happen WHEN you allow me to buy you a drink and your curiosity commands you to find out soon."
He laughs me right in my face, cocky bastard. "You think you've got me all figured out, huh?"
