as beautiful
on the inside as she was on the outside. Her beauty queen looks turned heads,
but it was her personality that drew people to her. She gave generously of
herself and her time, qualities that earned her respect in the community.
Carrie was one of the very few who knew just how much of herself Brooke was
willing to give to the right person.
    She wove her way
through the crowded restaurant and slid into the seat across from her friend. “It’s
so good to see you,” she said. “You look great!”
    Brooke beamed,
and stroked her shoulder length blonde hair. “You like it? Todd says the
highlights make my eyes look brighter.”
    “He’s right. The
gold streaks match the flecks in your eyes. The man knows what he’s talking
about,” she said, squashing down the slight twinge of envy.
    “I know.” Brooke
sighed. “I’m a lucky woman.” Her smile disappeared, and Carrie squirmed under
her pitying look. “I wish you could find someone, too.”
    “Me, too.
Believe me, I’ve tried. I’ve been to every munch in the last six months and
spent more hours than I can count sitting in the social area of the Dungeon,
hoping a Dom would come in, take one look at me, and decide I need to be
spanked.” She waved off the protest on the other woman’s lips. “Hey, Marilyn
Monroe was discovered at a soda fountain.” She shrugged. “It could happen.”
    “There’s another
way to meet a Dom,” she said. “Todd has a friend.”
    Her pulse leapt.
“Go on.”
    “He thinks you
and his friend might get along. I agree.”
    “You’ve met him?”
she asked. Brooke’s gaze dropped to the menu on the table in front of her,
silently telling her how they’d met. “Oh. You’ve played with him.”
    Their gazes met
and she saw nothing but sincerity in her friend’s eyes. “Once. Only once. His
name is Jason, and he’s new to the lifestyle. Master invited him to join us to
see if he was as interested as he thought.”
    “And was he?”
    “Oh, yes! He was
masterful. Very much so for someone who’d never topped before. His commands
were clear, and his voice was kind. It seemed very natural for him. He didn’t
spare me, but he knew when enough was enough. And, Master would never have
given me to him for even a minute if he didn’t trust him.”
    Oh God. This
could be it. She wiped her damp palms on her skirt and tried to quell the
butterflies in her stomach. “And you think he would be interested in a novice
like me?”
    “I do. Would you
like to meet him?”
    The butterflies
felt more like a flock of seagulls now. She pressed a hand to her midsection in
an effort to calm the riot going on inside. This was real. All she had to do
was say yes. “I trust you, and Todd has been nothing but kind to me, so….” She
took a deep breath and let her answer out with it. “Yes. Yes, I would like to
meet your friend.”
    Her friend’s face
lit with excitement. “I’ll tell Todd, and he’ll arrange it.” She placed her
hand over Carrie’s. “I’m so happy for you.”
    “I don’t know
how to thank you,” she said over the tears choking her. “If this works out….”
    “I know. Trust
me, I know exactly how you feel. Before I met Todd, I was lonely and so alone
with my needs. Then…everything changed. I’ve never been happier.”
    Carrie nodded
and dug a tissue from her purse to dab at the corners of her eyes. “I’m sorry.
I don’t know what’s wrong with me.”
    “You’re excited,
relieved, anxious. I’ve been there, remember? Look, I have no idea if this will
work out, and you have to tell him if you don’t feel right about it. He’s not
the only Dom out there, so don’t think you have to submit to him if it’s not
for you.”
     “I know,” she
said on a shaky breath. “If it doesn’t feel right, I’ll say something. I
promise. Tell me about him. I want to know everything.”
    “I don’t know
much. Todd is a very private person. He never talks about his vanilla life, and
it’s not my place
