Free Masks by Evangeline Anderson

his large, warm hand and smiled at her sadly. “Sound familiar?”
    “Mark…” She looked at him, uncertain of what to say. Could he really mean all of this? Was he for real?
    “Look, all I’m saying is, can’t we give this a chance? You’re the woman I want, Chloe, and I’ve been looking for you a long time. I know we started backwards but—”
    But she cut him off with a kiss. Grasping a thick handful of his black hair she pulled him down and took his mouth the same way he’d taken hers on that first fateful night when they met. Before she knew it Mark was kissing her back, holding her close in those warm, muscular arms she’d been dreaming about for the last two and a half weeks.
    When they finally came up for air he grinned at her. “I guess that means you’re willing to give it a try?”
    All Chloe could say was, “Yes.” And then she kissed him again.

    “So, I’m forgiven?” Zoe smirked at her over her steaming mug of hot cocoa. They were both lounging in their pajamas on Chloe’s small but comfortable living room couch, having what Zoe had dubbed as a “sister day”.
    After the near disastrous last time they’d gotten together, Chloe had decided it would be a good thing if she and Zoe spent more time with each other and kept up on each other’s lives. If her sister wanted to become, say, a parachute tester, Chloe wanted to know it before she herself ended up ten thousand feet in the air about to be pushed out of an airplane.
    Now she frowned at her twin and took a sip of cocoa herself. “Yes, you’re forgiven,” she said. “For now anyway. But only because things worked out in the end.”
    Zoe sighed dreamily and batted her long lashes. “I just love happy endings. Now if only I could find a nice, submissive man to settle down with myself.”
    Chloe swatted at her. “You’re incorrigible!”
    Zoe grinned back. “I know it. Aren’t you glad?”
    Chloe looked at the familiar, mischievous twinkle in her twin’s green eyes and couldn’t help laughing. “Yes, I guess I am. But, Zoe?”
    “Hmm?” Her twin looked up from taking another sip from her mug.
    “Do me a favor, okay?” Chloe leaned over and gave her sister a quick peck on the cheek. “Don’t ask me for any more favors.”
