Aniko had seen him in the courtyard before, and since the first time, she had fervently hoped to catch another glimpse. He wasn’t much to look at, objectively, but there was something about the way he carried himself that quickened her desire. She had done without for so long, since her boyfriend had left her for some bar trollop.On this day she dressed to show a little more skin, as the day was warm though cloudy, and she made her way to sit in the boat, hoping he would appear. And suddenly there he was, easily moving some heavy looking thing. He glanced over and she smiled stiffly He contemplated her for a moment, and in the next instant he was sauntering in her direction, a confident, half-amused expression on his face. She felt weak, as though she could not stand up. She wondered what would happen next, trepidation and wanting at war within her. -- source link
