Her smile was his first clue that he was in trouble. It was her predatory smile, the same smile he imagined a cat had when looking at a mouse.
She had a twisted, very sexy scheme to turn him into her mindless plaything. A little voice in his head mocked him: if you're so upset about it, why are you getting hard?
He couldn't answer that. Maybe she was secretly programming him to want to fall into her clutches. Her evil, alluring, entirely desirable clutches.
"Do you know what I came across online?" she asked, interrupting his thoughts.
"What?" he asked cautiously.
"I found a word search generator!" Her smile grew wider.
His guard lowered slightly. Word searches were innocuous. He did word searches in elementary school. So, if they were so innocent, why is she smiling so widely, the little voice asked.
"I made a special one just for you!" she said excitedly. She pulled the chair away from the table. "Have a seat."
He sat down. On the table before him was a white sheet of paper and a pencil.
She leaned over him. He felt her breast press into his shoulder. "It's important we find the words in a special order, though," she breathed into his ear.
"Okay," he said.
"The first word on the list is 'drowsy,'" she announced.
As soon as he heard the word, his eyelids fluttered. It was as though someone had attached weights to them. Try as he might, he could barely keep them open. It wasn't just his eyes that were heavy. His whole body was suddenly leaden in the chair.
"Are you having a little trouble concentrating?" she asked. Was that condescension in her tone? "Are all the words swimming in front of your eyes?"
The moment she said that, the words grew hazy and unfocused. "Huh?" he managed.
"It's right here," she said, pointing to the word. Her breast pressed into his shoulder harder. "You're probably so drowsy, it's hard for you to pick up the pen and circle it. I'll just do it for you." She emphasized the word "drowsy."
Another wave of tiredness washed over him. She placed the pencil in his hand and closed his fingers around it. Then, she guided his hand to the paper and circled the word.
