Love Me Curvy

Part 4 - Revised

Erin

Burning. My whole body is on fire.

The way Caden stares at me, his green eyes never wavering from mine, makes my body burn and tingle as it has never done before. I want so badly to look away, but I can't seem to turn my head. Without touching me he is holding me captive, like a bird locked in its cage with no way out.

I should be scared even terrified and yet, I am not. Just the thought of being held captive by him inflames me. From the corner of my eye, I can see the rise and fall of my breasts with each large breath I take, still glad I am taking air into my lungs.

Just having Caden this close to me is making me lose all sense of reality. I have never been like this with any man, not even with Derek.

But no matter how much Caden's closeness is a distraction or how my body is burning from the inside out, all I can do is think about how red my face is at the moment. Because right now, I can literally die from embarrassment. Caden is right, I was reading an erotic romance book, but what he doesn't know is that I was in the middle of reading a juicy sex scene when he approached my table.

I was already hot and bothered, but now having Caden just mere inches from me makes me want to experience all the naughty things that were happening in the book. I can just imagine it, Caden pulling me in for a wet steamy kiss, ripping my clothes off, bending me down against this table with my legs spread wide apart and letting him take me right here right now in front of all these ---

Mentally slapping myself I break away from my sexual thoughts. What has gotten into me? I'm like some horny teenager. Heck, I'm probably worse than that, Caden hasn't even touched me yet and here I am fantasizing about us having sex in the café. I blame the damn book for my dirty thoughts. I'm never like this.

However, this doesn't erase the fact that I am practically drooling for the guy in front of me, while he probably thinks I'm a lonely single teacher who comes to a café at night to drink tea by herself. If that is what he thinks, at least he isn't wrong.

Should I lie and tell him that I wasn't reading an erotic romance book? For all he knows I could just be reading a regular romance book with no hot steamy sex scenes. No, his eyes see too much, if I lie he would know, my face would tell it all. I've never been a great liar anyway.

My eyes drop down breaking our eye contact. I turn slightly away before answering a quiet, "Yeh."

When I don't hear an instant reply, I turn back glancing in his direction.

I am surprised to see a devilish grin on his face like he is excited and satisfied with my answer. But why would he be?

Caden pulls away from me and leans back against the chair, his arms crossed. "I'm glad you like those type of books."

Once again, why? Call me a coward, but I was afraid to ask, I'll rather not know the answer at all. Maybe it's because I fear what his answer might be or the fact that I am currently too embarrassed to continue with this awkward subject. So, I did what I usually do when I get stuck in a sticky situation, I take a detour. In this case, change the topic.

I give him my best half-smile, "So Caden, what are you doing here tonight?"

I am glad he takes the hint and changes the topic. "Well, I was actually on a blind date."

"Oh really?" I'm not sure if I should ask how it went?

"It didn't go so well though," Caden says chiming in.

Relief washes over me. Relief? Was I glad that Caden's blind date didn't go well?

Before I could ponder over my own question Caden continues. "I wasn't expecting much from this date anyway. It's always like this whenever I go on a blind date with a woman my mom picks out for me."
