The dark, sweaty, lust-filled, and jovial atmosphere of the bar was never really something that discouraged Iris from going. In fact, the hour-long, winding trip and every single dollar she spent on gasoline for a drink of fancy beer was worth it, or so she thought. Maybe it was just her raging hormones speaking or the fact that plenty of men who managed to catch her attention just happened to be in the same place, at the right time. As she headed to the front section of the bar, she noticed her first victim and flavor of the night. He was sitting there in his casual clothes, a pair of black Converse adorning his feet and a messy wavy mane, head bowed with a bottle of beer in his hand; the handsome and mysterious yet casual type of man that will leave her craving and wanting for more. The simple yet attractive kind of man, she thought, just her cup of tea. The women seated around him stared; awe-struck and lustful gazes were thrown at him, wanting to be noticed but he paid no attention to it. The man looked around, noticing as if someone was watching him and caught Iris' eye in the process. She smirked at the sight. She had her prey right where she wanted him. All she had to do was to play the part of a vixen and they all fall putty in her hands, wrapped around her deceiving fingers. With a strut to her walk and a seductive smile painted on her face, she went for the kill.
"Hey, is this seat taken?" Iris said confidently with her half half-hooded gaze and velvety voice that will make men fall at her feet. He kept his gaze and gave this woman who randomly approached him a once over, lust filling his eyes for a second but was quick to mask it.
"Be my guest but what's a pretty lady like you doing here?" he asked, a smirk playing in his full red lips. Iris smirked back at him. It was funny how he tried so hard to take control of the situation. Oh how naïve he was. Little did he know, he will soon be falling into a trap spun by this mischievous and cunning woman.
"Looking for a fun time," she said casually. She leaned over, fixed his creased button-up shirt and whispered, "and possibly someone to warm my bed tonight." He gulped and adjusted the buttons on his shirt, trying to compose what's left of his self-control.
"And what makes you so sure that I will be giving in to you?"
"Oh trust me, they all do," Iris whispered to him so softly and placed a kiss on his cheek, leaving the traces of her dark red lipstick on it. She closed her eyes for a moment, a feeling brewing in her and when she opened her eyes, Iris saw him physically trying to restrain himself, to not give in but she saw him slowly falling apart. She smiled knowing that very soon, she will be devouring him. Iris pulled him to the dance floor and danced like there's no tomorrow, baring her soul for the world to see.
She pulled him closer and whispered, "Give in tome and I promise you the best night of your life that you will never forget. Iwill rock your world like no other."
