of the bill, he guided her out to the street and took her hand when they started to walk. Instead of heading straight home they browsed through shop windows on the surrounding streets. Their light conversation filled the quiet night air as they slowly made their way back to Isabelle’s apartment. At the door she brushed the hair from his eyes as she spoke.
    “I had a nice time. I haven’t enjoyed a man’s company for so long. I’m a little rusty.”
    Mitch laughed before his face grew serious. “I want to see you again tomorrow night.”
    “I would love to, but with Jesse ... I don’t know.”
    “I understand, I do , but I have to see you again. You have bewitched me, woman!”
    He reached forward to encircle her waist and brought her in close to him. His lips found hers and they molded together in a passionate embrace, their lips both urgent and tender all at once. Her soft lips tasted like raspberries and she smelt delicious, like vanilla ice-cream.
    His full lips felt better than she imagined , and as she touched her tongue to his, she wrapped her arms around his neck so she could bury her fingers in his hair. His kiss was beginning to buckle her knees and she felt giddy. Even though she had little to compare it to and it had been a while since she enjoyed a man in any way, she decided his kiss was by far the most toe-curling. His strong lean hands on her back burned her skin through her dress and she wanted to forget about everything and feel them against her skin. He eased back and with passion heavy lids she stared at him, puzzled.
    “Dinner tomorrow night at my house , then?” he asked with the boyish grin she could easily fall in love with.
    “Jesse goes to bed at seven- thirty. Maybe I can come over after that.”
    His eyes reflected the same hunger she felt low in her stomach. Desire had deepened their color too.
    “I’ll pick you up.”
    His lips sought hers again and with hungry lips and roaming hands they drove each other wild with passion. Seconds, minutes passed, neither of them anxious to break the moment. His hands stopped their exploration at her face and he eased her back again.
    “I should go ...”
    “I know,” she replied as softly as he had, which added a husk to her voice, sending a jolt of desire through his already racing heart. “I don’t want to be your next conquest.”
    “You are everything but that. That is why I should leave.”
    “Pick me up at eight.” With a quick kiss and waft of vanilla, she disappeared inside.

    “What am I doing?” she said in an angry hiss. Leaning against the door she mentally kicked herself for being an idiot. She’d fallen for his charms like a fish fascinated by a lure.  Yet she couldn’t deny the feelings welling up inside her. She couldn’t remember ever having such intense attraction to anyone before. What did it all mean?
    “Did you have a good time?”
    Isabelle gasped when she heard Carol’s voice coming from the darkened hall. “You scared me.”
    “Sorry. So?”
    “Yes, that is the problem.” Isabelle shrugged.
    “Why is it a problem? Are you still not sure?”
    “No, I’m not sure.”
    “You enjoyed his company?”
    “Yes.”
    “Then what is the problem?”
     
    Those were the first words that popped into Isabelle’s head when she woke the next morning. What is the problem? Carol was right. Why not just see where it took her? He didn’t appear to be a complete creep, so what could it hurt to find out? The anticipation of seeing him again that evening crept up to overwhelm her and she longed for the day to be over.
    She found Carol and Jesse at the breakfast table and was relieved to notice that Jesse seemed oblivious to the fact she had been out late. It was definitely too soon for a meeting. She had to be sure first. She had told Jesse a little white lie about her evening, which was for the best right now.
    “Hi, Mummy,” Jesse said brightly when she sat down at the table.
