I was desperate to seduce you, to have you under my control.
You saw me from the other side of that crowded room, hundreds of people but just you and I, sneaking glances when you shouldn’t. I’ve curated this entire experience perfectly for you, a long dress with a high cut up to the thigh, my long hair almost down to my waist falls over one side of my face.
I can feel your eyes burn in to me, I take a slow sip of my drink. Every move I make a perfect show for you, a real performance. I pull the hair back from my neck and slowly put it behind my ear, looking up at you for a brief second and back away, making conversation else where.
Seated at a small table with a stranger I uncross my legs, adjusting my shoe strap and letting my fingers linger back up my leg, crossing them again.
Another brief look, this time I catch you watching me. I don’t look away- one moment of intense connection.
