Owen laughed an open throaty sound as she took offense to his presumption of her sexual preferences. “Well, if you were an expert on beautiful women, you wouldn’t push back on my complimenting you, now would you?” He said this with enough bite to suggest that he was done defending his opinion of her beauty for the moment. She could take his compliment or leave it. She seemed intent upon leaving it.
He pulled the shot towards him with his index finger, amber liquid lapped at the digit hooked over the rim of the small glass. Leaving the shot on the table for the moment, Owen lifted his finger and licked the liquid off of it.
With a shake of his head, Owen declined to answer her question. “I’ve told you my thoughts on you and they obviously make you uncomfortable.” He said, still sour she hadn’t just gracefully accepted his opinion on her looks. “Why don’t you tell me something?”
He confiscated the shot she had poured for herself and lined it up next to his. He put his hand over both glasses showing her that he meant for her to earn the drink as he had. Never mind that she had the bottle and could just pour herself another if she so choose. She’d either play along with her own game or she wouldn’t.
Owen was beginning to realize that he was more and more at her mercy in this encounter. As he would be if and when he tried to explain who he was to her. She would either stay to listen or she wouldn't. She would either run or she wouldn't. She would accept the truth or she wouldn't. There was very little he had to offer up to her. This had always been the case. She had always been a woman who could have anything she wanted whenever she wanted and all he could ever hope to offer her was himself free for the taking. He had somehow been enough for her before. Perhaps it would still hold true.
“What are you looking for at the One Night Stand?” The name of the establishment tumbled off his lips with obvious judgment. “Your husband, maybe?”
She likely wouldn’t get the double speak, but that didn’t mean he couldn’t use it and watch her trying to figure him out.
