fifteen and awkward and randy as hell. Running a finger along his jaw, she shook her head, “You tempt me but I can’t; we’ve only just met this morning.”
    “Then why do I feel as if I’ve known you forever?” he asked before he could stop himself. She was going to think he was just trying to get into her pants ….
    “You feel it, too,” she smiled, cupping his cheek and brushing her thumb along his lower lip. “Thank God I’m not alone in this.”
    “Of course you’re not,” he murmured, turning his head and pressing a kiss to her palm. He couldn’t help but wonder if she was incredibly naïve to simply accept his words or incredibly trusting. Either way, she was a danger to herself; letting strange men whisper words of fate and destiny and not questioning their agendas. And someone as beautiful as Victoria had to have spent time in the company of other men before him. That thought did not sit well with him; how many of those bastards sweet-talked her into giving them more than she was ready to give?
    “James, you look so dark and pensive,” she said with a light laugh, rubbing the middle of his forehead with her thumb. Replacing her thumb with her lips, she kissed him softly, “I won’t tell anyone that you’re a closet romantic, if you don’t want me to.”
    His frown deepened even as her lips burned his skin; she was simply too incredible. “Aren’t you going to question my motives?”
    Victoria ’s lips curved upwards in a smile, “Maybe; if I hadn’t felt that zing the first time I touched you; but, I am starting to become a believer in destiny.”
    His heart stilled in his chest as her words drifted through his mind. She felt it, too. Wow, that whole soul mate thing was starting to become even more plausible. After he paid, they stood up and this time he put his arm around her waist as they left. 
    “Tell me the color of your eyes,” he whispered thickly.
    “Violet,” she grinned.

    “So, how was your date?” Taylor asked as soon as she walked into the store at just after one the next day. She looked impeccable in cream-colored linen pants and a matching silk sheath. A diamond tennis bracelet circled her left wrist, accentuating her graceful, golden arms. Her blond hair was flawlessly set in a smooth, chin-length bob and her perfect make-up made her glow.
    Victoria ’s responsive smile answered the question; it was incredible. Even wearing blue jeans and a tank top and looking less put-together (a lot less put-together) than Taylor didn’t faze her, not after the previous night. And the heels she was wearing today were platform shoes with a little bit of a heel so her arches weren’t killing her and she still had the added height. “He took me to a little café just down the street….” 
    “He took you to Indulgence ?” Taylor interrupted, letting out an approving sigh and sounding impressed. Laughing, perhaps serious, perhaps not, she continued, “Maybe I should have shown up a little earlier yesterday – then I could have been the one he asked out.”
    Victoria smiled but it was a little fragile and she hated the little ripple of jealousy that Taylor’s words caused. Because she knew that if James could see, and Taylor was there, last night would have been spent with Ben and Jerry, and maybe Mr. Hershey. She didn’t want to dwell on those thoughts, though; they were too depressing. So she asked, “Ha… have you ever been there?”
    “Guys take me there all of the time,” Taylor answered breezily, oblivious of Victoria’s chaotic emotions.
    “I’ve never even heard of it and it’s so close….”
    “If you weren’t so busy working you would have known,” Taylor grinned. “I always order the Caramel Sex Blast; it’s like a gazillion calories of caramel and chocolate and heavy cream.” With a light laugh, Taylor added, “I can only eat like a bite before I’m stuffed and I end up bringing the rest home for Degas.”
    “Ah, so
