Chapter 1

As he sat down at the end of the bar, he got the now familiar feeling in the pit of his stomach. He didn’t even glance into the corner where he knew the feeling originated from. Looking at the bartender, he smiled and asked for a drink. It wasn’t for him, but he knew someone would want it soon.
“Hi.” He heard from behind him. “I don’t normally do this, but when I saw you come into the bar, I just knew I would have to come and talk to you. My name is Kim.”
Looking over, he got his feeling confirmed, and he was not disappointed in the least. “Hi Kim, my name is Kevin,” he said handing her the drink with a smile.
Looking curious, she took a sip of the drink and asked in some surprise, “Is this a rum and coke? That‘s my favorite!”
“Yes, I know.” He said mysteriously. “Where are you from?” He said to her, though he knew the answer before she said it.
“California. Well, just outside of L.A. I just moved here a few months ago to live with my dad.” She said in between sips. “What about you?”
“Let me guess, you were looking for a job? Not a lot out here, but more than in L.A. I imagine.” He asked, dodging her question.
“Yea!” She said excitedly, “I just got a job as a nanny for a baby. She’s still really young and she cries a lot, but it was all I could find. And the pay is pretty good, too. Aren’t you gonna get a drink?”
“I am not really thirsty right now. Maybe later,” he said looking her over. She really is gorgeous, he thought to himself. Tall, red hair, legs for days. Good lord! What an ass! She has a naughty streak to her, too. He wasn’t always able to read people so well, but, then again, she is a sensitive. Not many of those left. Must be my lucky night. In the world Kevin comes from, sensitives were highly sought after, mostly because people like Kevin could read and manipulate them easily, though sensitives tended to be strong-willed among their own kind. Sensitives are rare, because they tend to attract and in turn get seduced and turned by people like Kevin.
“Its so weird.” Kim said.
“What’s that?” Kevin asked.
“I don’t know, something about you is just so attractive to me. I am never forward, especially since I have a boyfriend, but I just couldn’t stop myself from talking to you.” It probably didn’t hurt that Kevin was extremely good looking, either. With a chiseled jaw and just a hint of stubble and dark blond hair, Kevin was the kind of guy girls flocked to anyway. It also became apparent to Kim after a cursory glance that Kevin kept in shape. At 6’ tall, he wasn’t particularly huge, but the way his shirt bulged around the arms and shoulders was proof of a strict routine. Through his v-neck shirt, Kim could tell that Kevin’s chest was totally smooth, another turn-on for her.
Kevin smiled again, knowing what was going through her mind, even as he ordered her another drink from the bartender. “Just one more, then the tab, please.” Placing the drink in front of Kim as she finished the first one, Kevin continued checking Kim out. Bet she looks great naked.
This time, it was Kim’s turn to smile, seeing Kevin checking her out. She was a little self-conscious about her body, which made it all the more of a turn-on when she knew a guy found her attractive. Though Kevin had no idea how she could be self-conscious when she had such a beautiful body, and a flat stomach like hers would be the envy of many women.
“So Kevin, what are you doing in a small town like this?” She said to him, flashing her radiant smile.
“Passing through. I am on my way to meet up with some friends in Tucson.” Which was strictly true, though his stop in this particular town was due to his premonitions from earlier, premonitions that led him into this bar.
“How long are you gonna be in town?” She asked sweetly.
“Depends, I was thinking of spending a day or two looking around. I have some time before my friends get to Tucson.” He began pushing into her mind, knowing now after two drinks she would be more open to his suggestions. You had to be careful with sensitives, push too hard and they became frightened, not even knowing why. With any other person, fear would have served his purposes, but if wanted her pliable later he needed her to trust him.
She frowned, which made her nose look all the cuter to Kevin, then asked “Well where are you staying tonight?” She wasn’t sure why she had asked that, but it seemed right.
He shrugged, knowing he had forced her to turn the conversation this way.
