Original X-roads-2003

    I jerked away, “What’s wrong with you?”
    He ran his finger down my neck softly, reaching my shoulder, I started trying to pull away. He slid his arm around the small of my back pulling me in to him, his lips softly resting where the strap of my shirt had been. My body began to react wildly, my eyes wanting to close and forget the whole thing.
    “Let go, Sertoff. Please let go.” I pleaded as I weakly pushed against him.
    He raised his lips to ear, “Why? Why should I let go?” He ran his fingers through my hair as he whispered. “You’re so obviously enjoying it.”
    “Any woman would.” I rationalized.
    “Not Ruby,” he ran his finger softly down the back of my neck. “She doesn’t feel anything when someone touches her like this.”
    “Jerk!” I pushed him away as hard as I could.
    He grinned. “Try again, I know that you will.” he half laughed as he walked back to the table and sat down.
    Ooooo, I could feel the anger seething inside me. No, time to put it away and try strategy number two, clinging.
    I walked back over to the table and sat down, staring all googly eyed at Sertoff. I rested my head on my hand as I sat there dreamily staring at him.
    Ruby disgustedly walked out tossing her napkin on the table.
    Sertoff grabbed my hand and softly traced around on the inside of it.
    I felt myself drifting off, I hope this doesn’t backfire on me.
