Chapter 1: Lunch Down Town
Julia finished most of her shopping and decided to stop off at Marty's bar and grill for a quick bite of lunch before tackling the final items. The place was empty except for three men at the far end of the bar; businessmen in for lunch most likely. Julia took a stool at the opposite end of the bar and ordered a drink. As she looked at the menu she casually glanced at the men at the other end of the bar, a fat middle aged man and a gray haired man who appeared to be in his seventies. It was the man in the middle that caught her attention.
He was perhaps 45,tall and dark with an athletic build. Not particularly handsome in a "pretty boy" kind of way, but there was sensual animal magnetism about him.
Soon the bar was filled with lunch customers and Julia could look at this intriguing man more closely without getting caught at it. She was stealing another glance at him when the bartender sat a new drink before her.
"I didn't order another drink," Julia said.
"From the man at the end of the bar." , he said indicating the man she had been checking out..She was a bit embarrassed Had he caught her staring at him?
When Julia looked back at the man , he saluted her with his glass , nodded slightly and smiled a small smile that only reached one side of his mouth, dark intense eyes bored into hers . He exuded confidence. He gave the impression that no one ever turned him down.
Julia was tempted to send the drink back, but heck, no point in wasting a good drink. Besides if she accepted his drink she felt she would be freer to look at him. She was becoming more fascinated with each passing moment.
She raised her glass and smiled back at him. Her lips formed a silent “thank you”.
She was wishing he would come join her , but he remained where he was , content to devour her with his eyes.
His chin was resting on his hand, one finger stroking his cheek, but it was the way he was looking at Julia that took his breath away. His eyelids were lowered and his smile had a very secretive, erotic quality. He seemed lost in a world by himself. Julia couldn't tear her eyes away from his.. She felt as a bird must feel when it's caught in the hypnotic charm of a snake. As she watched him, he slowly ran his tongue over his upper lip. He never took his eyes from hers. She found she couldn't break eye contact. It was as if he willed her to look into his eyes. He pressed his lips together for a brief moment and sent her an 'air" kiss and licked his lips again.
Julia was getting a little uncomfortable with this. She wondered what kind of game this man was playing. He seemed harmless enough, but her own feelings were making her nervous. She found him way too sexy and the worst part was , she was beginning to respond to his erotic behavior. She was getting very warm, but figured it was the drink.
They might as well have been alone at the bar for he paid not the slightest heed to the other patrons, but continued his seduction of Julia. As he continued to run his tongue over his lips, he slowly ran his right hand down his chest. To the others in the bar it was innocent enough, but Julia knew what he was doing. His gaze became more intense as he willed Julia to touch her own breast. Slowly her hand moved to her breast and lightly moved down it.
He smiled and nodded knowingly. Yes, now she was playing the game even if she wasn't aware of it. He laced his fingers together and leaned his chin on his hands. Never taking his eyes off Julia's, he began to nibble on the knuckle of his forefinger. Julia did the same. Almost imperceptibly, he slid the end of his finger into his mouth and began sucking on it. Julia chewed her knuckles until they hurt. He was mentally raping Julia and there was nothing she could do to stop it.
