She shrugs, looking away again. Interesting. She can't face me when she's lying. I file that information away for later.
"Different how?"
"The way you look at me," she says, taking a breath and meeting my gaze again. She holds it, refusing to look away this time. "No one ever looks at me like you do."
"That's because I see you." I hesitate for a brief moment, and then decide to go for broke. I want her to know where this thing between us is headed. She wants me too. Even if she never admits it, I know she wouldn't be here right now if she wasn't interested. "You had my dick hard before you ever opened your mouth."
A pretty blush blooms on her cheeks. She doesn't tell me to go to hell or slap me, so I take that as a good sign.
"You're not so bad yourself," she finally says, looking at me from beneath those long, sooty lashes. "You look like a warrior." She laughs a little. "I guess that's fitting, huh?"
"You like looking at me?"
She rolls her eyes. "I'm sure women are always hitting on you."
"You'd be wrong," I mutter.
She blinks at me, clearly surprised. Which is just fucking cute. The fact that she's attracted to me makes me feel ten feet tall and bullet proof.
"I haven't dated in years."
"Oh." She frowns, her brow crinkling. "Why not?"
"Until six months ago, I was in the desert. Since then? No one has caught my attention." I meet her gaze, holding it. "Not until yesterday."
She blushes again, making my cock leak.
"What about you?"
"I don't date either."
"Not yet you don't," I mutter, releasing her before I do something she'll regret and kiss her. "That'll be changing."
She opens her mouth and then snaps it closed again. I don't miss the little glimmer of hope in her eyes. Nor do I miss the fact that her nipples are hard little points in her pretty blouse.
Jesus, I can't wait to ruin this girl.
