You watch her lips move, but there's no sound. Her teeth show for an instant in a brilliant smile, but it's not directed at you. She runs her tongue along her upper lip, her eyes become hooded and you can feel the energy changing, turning into something darker, more overtly sexual than flirty. The prey shifts, uncomfortably, and you know that she knows that now she's won. You're the only one who can tell that the crook of her finger is lazy and the look in her eyes is triumph, not lust. The prey comes willingly, and your eyes meet for a second. Hers cocky, she's been chosen, she doesn't know who you are. You let your eyes drop to the table. She's the faceless one Maureen will be fucking tonight, you're the one who's name she'll be screaming when she slams the door tomorrow.
