HT100 Challenge 13 Double Down: Bad

Jun 28, 2003 17:39

And the college boys were so fucking easy. Fish in a barrel. These identical little junior versions of The Man. Fast-tracking young immortal pre-suits who never thought in a million years that anything bad could ever happen to them.

Sur-priiise!

They usually met Bad at the bar first, moving back as the night wore on, into a darker, quieter space in the rear where they could "really talk." Drinks progressed from draft beer to shots, and they never seemed to let themselves notice when the switch took place. Oh, they knew they were being a little wild, doing something they didn't ordinarily--letting this guy buy them drinks. But...it wasn't anything they couldn't handle.

And this guy was charming. He seemed so interested, paid so much attention.

It was the penetrating gaze that really got them, how he leaned in across the table. Hypnotic blue eyes, unnerving and alluring, familiar and challenging, honing right in on what nobody else in their young and sheltered lives had ever really been able to recognize. The dirty inner secret they knew made them different from their friends.

It was in the guy's smile. He could see just how sexy they really were.
