Bas-bleu? She wasn't even wearing--wait. Christ. How old was this guy? Well, older than that, probably. Although figuring out what the hell he meant wasn't actually helping her figure out whether or not he was insulting her.
Fortunately, he kept talking, which painted a much clearer picture.
Her face reddened, embarrassment and indignation both. It was just a question, fuck! He didn't have to get all... ugh. Asshole. "I didn't--that's not--" She forced her eyes closed and took a breath. Professional Bridget Corey. Even if he kept poking her with that "haha you're poor" stick.
Professional.
"Alright," she said, a little more snappishly than was probably professional. She didn't want to even try to think of what he might find more interesting. She had no goddamn idea his gauge for what was and was not interesting. He liked books and humiliating women. She wasn't going to give him any more books and he could figure out humiliation just fine on his fuckin' own.
She reached out and shook his hand. His leather gloved hand. His hand was much larger than hers, because he was much larger than her. The glove had that certain texture of leather, smooth and rough at the same time with a slight tendency to cling to skin.
Christ, she didn't even need to be sitting down and closing her eyes to be thinking about inappropriate shit. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. She released his hand as quickly as she was able, hoping that he asked her to think about something like kittens frolicking in a field of daisies.
She walked to the spot he had indicated. It was a nice little spot, a cozy little window seat that overlooked... his yard, it seemed. The window was framed with roses outside. She sort of wanted to tuck her feet up onto the cushions, but she was wearing shoes, and that seemed so rude even she was aware of it. So she just sort of sat, feet together and hands on her lap. She paused, for a moment, then closed her eyes.
