-Molly-
Despite the tumultuous emotions that raced through me as I walked toward Laurent and the woman behind the bar, I kept my head held high and my eyes forward. I was afraid that I would get lost in all the erotic scenes playing out around me. As it was, the temptation to stop and watch was almost too much for me to ignore. But I managed to keep my eyes forward.
The woman behind the bar looked me straight in the eye, then she leaned over and said something to Laurent. Laurent's head swiveled around to pin me with a stare. I tried not to let him see how much the power of his gaze affected me. It took all of my control and concentration to override my inherent desire to drop my gaze. I saw him raise an eyebrow at me, but I refused to back down. I wasn't doing it on purpose, but I had enough men thinking they could boss me around. I didn't need another one.
"Can I help you, ma petite?" Laurent asked.
