She sashayed into the bar like she owned the joint. But she was extremely out of place. The silk blouse with the high neck, fitting her ample curves to the simple A-line skirt. Low heels. Comfortable. Predictable. Her face was intriguing, but not one of breathtaking beauty; her hair pulled back in a severe bun. Yet her presence commanded attention. Perhaps it was her mesmerizing dark eyes. Or the staid, stoic way she carried herself.
"Bourbon. On the rocks. And keep 'em coming."
Her voice had a whiskied tone to it. Men shimmied up to her, drawn in by the sexual magnitism oozing from her pours, but one raised eyebrow sent them packing. She was looking for something special. She knew what she needed. What she wanted. It was midway into the third round when she spotted him. She lifted her drink into her hand, signaled the bartender, and sauntered over to where he sat.
"Mind if a girl cools her heels here for a while?"
He looked over his glasses. He had been reading documents, but her sudden intrusion interrupted his thought processes. The first glimpse of her told him nothing, but on a longer look, he felt his pants become rather confining.
"Uh .... sure ..... please..."
She slid into the booth with ease, leaning forward to take in what he was doing. He quickly gathered his papers and stuffed them into the old briefcase next to him. She smiled, captivating him in an instant. Raising a finger, she signaled the bartender who wasted no time in getting another round for them both.
"Do you always command such attention?" he asked, amazed at her seeming ease of getting the things she wanted without saying a word. She merely smiled at him, and took another long drink of her bourbon.
"Are you going to say anything??" he asked, clearing his throat nervously.
She gazed at him with a piercing stare, almost looking through him. She reached out to touch his face, a touch that made him shiver with both fright and anticipation. She drew a long fingernail down his jawline to his chin.
"Sure," she whispered huskily, "I'll say anything you want, as long as you come with me ...."
