She may try to scream.
But she’d definitely enjoy it and everything that would follow.
I’m a lot of things, and confident about my sexual prowess is one of them.
For a second, I get lost in my daydream, watching her lips form words, but not hearing a single one.
Then the arms start swinging around, the forehead becomes pinched, and the eyes take on a kind of murderous glow.
I decide it’s time to perk up my ears.
“Are you just going to stand there, staring at me?”
She still doesn’t recognize me…
But I sure as hell recognize her. Damn, the years have been very fucking generous.
And while I want to look a little longer, now is the time for me to speak. So I have fun with it, keeping my cover for the time being.
“That depends. Do I need to order food?”
She makes a face. “What’s that supposed to mean?”
“Well, that’s the rule at the bar, isn’t it? If you’re gonna hang here, you need to order food.” I wink at her. “I was just making a joke.”
“Oh. So smooth. Just like your lame pick-up line!”
I furrow my brow. “Lame? I actually thought it was kinda clever, you know, since you banged into me and made me spill my drink all over you. I figured it was a good opening.” I let out a chuckle. “Guess I figured wrong.”
“You figuredverywrong!” she says, her fists clenched at her sides. “And I don’t appreciate the harassment!”
“How is it harassment if I just want to talk to you?” Her face is bright pink now and she’s angry. So I play along because it’s just too much fun watching her get all hot and bothered.
She pushes her chest against me, and fuck me if my cock doesn’t tingle a bit despite the world of shit I’ve recently been plunged into. “It’s harassment if I don’t feel the same way!”
“Chella, do we have a problem here?” A guy behind the bar wanders over, his eyebrows furrowed as he looks from me to the girl.
Chella.
I’d always loved her name. It always sounded sensual. Sexy.Savage.
And I just ignited a spark inside of her.
Let the flames roar.
She jerks around, stumbling over her words of assurance that there is no problem, that we just had a minor collision.
I’d like to make it a major one next time.
The guy lifts an eyebrow at me, nodding at my empty glass. “You need another?”
I smirk. “You read my mind.”
“What’ll you have?”
“Macallan, neat.” I give the girl a sidelong glance, feeling her glare sear my skin.
He hands me a full glass. “I’ll check on your table, Mr…?”
