Divinely Devoured

Chapter Five- Trail of Fire

No that couldn't be right. Are my eyes deceiving me? Or am I day dreaming again? I mean I highly doubt he got those perfectly sculpted abs and muscles by eating salads now; protein shakes and hamburgers would seem much more fitting. Perhaps he was just shy or something.

"Is that all you're getting?" I eyed him skeptically.

"Yeah, I don't have much of an appetite."

"... Today" he added, probably noticing how baffled I was.

I mean which guy doesn't have an appetite. In fact which sane person doesn't have an appetite? Food is obviously one of the most wonderful wonders of the world. But ah well... To each his own I suppose.

I led the way to what had become our usual table, right in the corner, it was perfect because you had a bird's eye view of the entire cafeteria.

"Having a good first day?" Leona beamed.

At times such as these, I was quite envious of the amount of energy Leona possessed. I really  was. I mean where the hell does it come from? Just getting out of bed is equivalent to world war three for me, and in contrast to that Leona seems like the energizer bunny. Hmm... Energizer Bunny? He was damn cute, wasn't he? I think I actually have one of those in the attic.

I felt something jab my left hand.

"Huh?" I looked up sheepishly.

Leona just rolled her eyes. "Never mind Aves, your fries are getting cold."

Well that certainly got my attention, I mean cold fries are my worst nightmare.

"Whoa! Slow down Avianna, those fries aren't going anywhere." Luke commented as he joined us.

"But they ARE getting cold" I deadpanned.  I'm pretty sure both Luke and Leona knew not to argue with me regarding fries. It was obviously futile. Heck, I was a self proclaimed expert when it came to French fries.

Just as I was about to move on to my pancakes, I felt a hand caressing my left thigh.

I looked to my left to find Rylan staring at me with an indescribable intensity, his hand leaving a trail of fire as it moved up my bare thigh and oddly enough I found myself relishing in this new and unfamiliar feeling, wanting more... Needing more.

He scooted closer to me,  resting his head on my shoulder, he whispered in my ear: "Do you like it when I touch you Elora?" The seduction in his charismatic voice was enough to drive me crazy.

I felt a sharp nudge to my rib cage on the right.

"Ow! What was that for?" I asked Leona, without bothering to hide my annoyance.

"Look, we usually don't have a problem with you zoning out, but you're giving Luke the creeps" she replied in an equally annoyed tone.

Why on earth would Luke be creeped out because of me?

To say I was startled when I looked across the table would be an understatement...
