His eyes glossed over her from top to bottom. Without attempting to mask the glaring admiration in his eyes, he issued his first compliment of the night;
"Pardon me for being direct, but you look absolutely ravishing tonight."
"Thanks. But, don't ever apologize for speaking your truth with me mister Alex. Be free with me, tonight- and always..."
At the corner of her mouth, Alex detected what appeared to be a mischevous grin. But it quickly disappeared as she led him into the lounge.
Considering the fact that this lounge was in an academic environment, the space was actually pretty decent. The ceiling was high. And with low hanging lights placed in intermitent distances, the illumination was just perfect. Not too bright, but definitely dark enough for everyone to mind their business and not snoop.
Alex liked the spot immediately.
