Public Transit, Private Pleasures

Julian, alone in the metro car, watches as a woman enters, her eyes darting around nervously. She sits, her legs crossed tightly, but her hands betray her, fidgeting with the hem of her skirt. Julian's eyes follow, lingering on her exposed flesh. The train begins to move, and she sways, her leg brushing against his. She looks up, her cheeks flushing red. Julian smirks, his hand reaching out, tracing a line up her thigh. She stiffens, but doesn't pull away. He leans in, his lips brushing her ear, "You're beautiful," he whispers. She shudders, her breath hitching, as the train carries them deeper into the city, and their game of cat and mouse continues.
