come hither
Alluringly summoning closer
Come hither is an old-fashioned or literary way of saying come here, now used almost exclusively in the phrase come-hither look or come-hither eyes, describing a flirtatious or seductive glance that invites someone closer.
The expression retains an archaic charm that makes it useful for suggesting romantic or sexual invitation without being explicit.
