will soon be coming to an end.”
    She slid out of the booth, grabbed her purse, and stood up. He put his arm around her and steered her toward the front door. They stopped by the passenger door of his truck. He was still grinning at her comment inside. “I don’t want this evening to come to an end either, but I promise you, there will be other dates . . . often.”
    She laughed. “You’re assuming that I’ll go back out with you,” she teased.
    He smiled and put his index finger under her chin and brought his lips close to hers. “Oh, you’ll go out with me again. I guarantee it,” he whispered softly against her lips. She felt the thrill of anticipation course through her, and she couldn’t wait. She closed the gap, and brought her lips hungrily to his. Her heart raced, as she gave in to the intense feelings he ignited in her.
    Feelings, of heat and passion, were new and exciting. Her blood felt like fire in her veins as the kiss continued and she boldly stroked her tongue with his.
    Then reality set in and she tore her lips away from his. She looked into his eyes that were dark with passion. They were both breathing heavily. “You’re dangerous,” she said, her voice was husky and breathless.
    He grinned. “You might say that,” he said and opened the passenger door to the truck.
    Her heart had finally slowed down its frantic pace. Her body, however, was still in tune and sensitive to his. She was physically drawn to him, and all she wanted to do was go right back in his arms and kiss him again. Instead, she turned and climbed into the passenger seat of the truck.
    She looked away to get her composure back. “We had better go,” she said huskily. Her voice still betrayed her.
    He opened the driver’s door and climbed in. He gripped the steering wheel and stared blankly into the darkness. His heart too, was still racing from that fiery, passion-filled kiss. He also felt the strong, physical pull, the fierce yearning to be with her only. He chanced a glance in her direction; she was still staring into the darkness. He had a gut feeling, that when she found out what he was, that she would be gone, and he wasn’t sure if his heart could take it. He knew in his heart that she was all he wanted, and he felt an intense disappointment when he realized that he had found his true mate. He felt her rejection was imminent.
    Without another word, he started the truck and drove her to the department store.

Chapter Twelve
    In the few minutes it took to drive to the department store, they both managed to get their composure back. Luke decided to let the cards fall where they may and try not to worry about the future.
    Vicky managed to get her raging hormones back under control, and made a quick decision to be more careful in the future. She really, really, liked Luke, but she decided that she didn’t want to rush things and possibly make a huge teenage mistake.
    He pulled the truck into the parking space and put it in park. He jumped out and raced around to her side to open the door. She slid out of the truck and smiled at him sweetly. “Thank you, Luke. I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again. You are spoiling me.”
    He grinned mischievously. “That’s my master plan.”
    Her eyes grew wide in surprise. “You have a master plan?”
    His eyes sparkled. “Yeah, I do.” She grinned and waited patiently for him to continue. “I plan to treat you so nice that no other guy will hold a candle to me. That if you do decide to date other guys, you’ll always come back to me because they don’t treat you as good as I do.”
    “Luke, in my eyes, no other guy does hold a candle to you. You are the sweetest, most caring guy that I’ve ever met.” She shook her head. “You really don’t have to try so hard.
    You’ve already got my full attention.”
    He grinned. “That’s good to know. I’ll let you in on a little secret. You’ve had my full attention from the moment I laid eyes on you.”
    She rolled her
