Abruptly, his eyes met mine. Heat rushed through me. My cheeks flamed, and I could feel my panties get wet. I held my drink up almost as a shield. He kept his gaze on me even as I sipped at the dregs of my glass. I turned slightly to set down my drink, and glanced back. He’d moved on, looking away from me. I couldn’t understand why I felt so disappointed.
Tom returned, and we wrapped up our discussion. He offered to take me back to the office, but I declined. I preferred to walk after most lunches, and more so when I ate here. He waved to me as his car was brought around, and I set off.

All my instincts screamed – to run from this man, and also to run to him, letting him drag me off to a cave if he wished. Neither would be good form or a good decision at the moment. I hoped I’d make it away unscathed.

Why had I stopped her? I suppose saying let’s fuck probably wasn’t a good conversation opener. It’s what I wanted to say, though. A number of times. Preferably without clothes. While she screamed my name, over and over.
