We'd had one drink each and I'd been blushing progressively deeper and deeper shades of red, if the gentle burn in my cheeks told me anything. Deeper and deeper each time his eyes met mine as his hand moved up under N's short skirt and clearly wasn't idle.
With a languorous look in stark contrast to the tightly knit bundle of nerves I was feeling, N was all collarbones, smoky eyes and long gazelle legs... she parted those slightly. Covert but compliant, at ease and oozing pleasure. She looked at me through half lowered, heavy eyelids, relishing whatever she was feeling, relishing her full embrace of it; relishing her sheer abandon within the secluded booth.
And he. He positioned himself in a stance of sheer entitlement, all the while intently monitoring on my reaction.
I was flushed, my thighs clamped together in denial, but that only made me more of aware of what was also subtly responding between my legs.
I was further away, but the looks pinned me. I was almost transfixed by the heavy air of arousal, of attraction, of sex.
We'd only had one drink. And I was acutely aware of my swallow every time I sipped a cool measure of liquid. The swallow made me acutely aware of my throat. Curious that it suddenly felt so bared and vulnerable under that stare.
His mood seemed to change. He withdrew his hand from N's skirt, bringing it to her mouth, where she slowly, softly wrapped her lips around his fingers and cleaned them, all the while gazing up at him. He smiled at her act, cupping her cheek momentarily and then took his hand from her and decisively leaned forward towards me and removed my glass from between my two hands, setting it down on the table.
The remaining ice chimed in the sudden movement.
