didn't know either."
    "Which
one?"
    Susannah
closed her eyes and saw him, Logan, dark hair and smiling eyes. Heard his voice
again, felt him…well, enough of that.
    "The
dark one."
    "I'm
looking at the photo again. Not sure how you picked, but can I have the other
one?"
    In
spite of her confused emotions, Susannah giggled. "Sure. Tyler's one hell
of a stud. If I ever see him again, I'll send him to you."
    "Hang
in there, sweetie." There was sympathy in Sophie's tone.
    "What
are you doing? You going to the Faire?"
    "Yeah."
A gusty sigh followed. "I'm covering it again for the Gulf Meadows News.
Only this time, they're online. So I get to upload digital photos, not deal
with print anymore. Kinda cool, actually."
    The
conversation rambled a little as both Sophie and Susannah discussed the effects
of technology on their respective little worlds.
    "Got
corsets?" quipped Susannah.
    "Nope.
I'm going as something different."
    "Really?
It is a Renaissance Faire, ya know, kiddo. In case you missed the reference…"
    "Har
har." Sophie sighed loudly. "You are so funny."
    "Well?
What are you going to wear then? C'mon. Inquiring minds and all that."
    "Um…"
    This
hesitation was unlike Sophie and made Susannah sit upright in her chair. "Sophie?
Costume?"
    "Don't
laugh."
    "I
won't, I promise. You didn't laugh at me in my corset."
    "Okay
then." Another pause. "I'm wearing leather."
    "Ouch.
In Florida? I know it's February, but isn't that going to be hotter than hell?"
    "No."
    That
was much too short an answer for Susannah. "Deets, sweetie. Give. Or I
shall make your life miserable. And you know I can do it."
    "I
have a new outfit. It's…it's sort of along the lines of bondage gear ."
    Susannah
blinked, swallowed, and blinked again. "By bondage, you mean Kitten with a whip type stuff?"
    "Kinda."
    Biting
her lip, Susannah shook her head at herself. The mere thought of delicate
little Sophie Lewis in leather, studs and six inch black spikes…well, it was
completely outrageous. "Oh my."
    "You're
laughing."
    "Am
not."
    There
was a tap on her office door, interrupting what could well have been a rather
infantile exchange of insults. "Dammit, I gotta go, Soph. Sorry. But you
can bet we'll be talking more about this."
    "I
was afraid of that. So--maybe don't keep in touch." She giggled.
    Susannah
laughed back. "Like that's gonna happen. Bye." She disconnected the
call as she rose to answer the knock. Her small office suite was on the ground
floor at the rear of the building, so she couldn't always see who outside her
door. Keeping it locked seemed like a good idea unless she had an appointment.
    Today,
she didn't, so she had to click the lock before opening the door.
    "Oh…"
    She
gasped aloud as she looked up into Logan's eyes, unable to prevent her exclamation.
He was damp, his hair curling down onto his forehead and dusted with sparkling
droplets. He smelled of…Logan, a fresh male scent that seeped into her brains
and curled itself up in her hypo-something or other.
    She
wanted to strip him, lick him from head to foot and fuck him silly. Instead,
she said, stupidly, "Hi."
    "Hi
yourself." He brushed drips off his shoulders. "Can I come in?"
    She
was ready to step aside, but waited a beat. "I don't know. Are you alone?"
    He
caught her inference. "Yes. Tyler's in California. To stay. I'm alone now.
Have been since just before Christmas."
    "Oh."
    He
stared at her with something behind his eyes that made her body ache for him. "I
never really knew what it was to be truly alone. You were right, Susannah. We
had our reasons, but you were right. We'd been hiding. I'm done with hiding
now. And I've figured out what it is I want."
    She
nodded and then stepped back, inviting him inside. "I'm glad, Logan. Very
glad for your sake."
    He
watched her close the door. "I hope you'll be glad for your sake too.
Because I'm pretty certain that what I want…is you."
    "Hmm."
She snapped the lock back into place. "Only pretty certain?"
    He
grinned and her heart
