different flavors. Callie had packed toffees, taffies and lollipops into small wicker
baskets on the table.
They took a few steps back to check over their candy display.
 Looks great, Callie said, not quite meeting his eyes.
Tobey nodded and smiled at the top of her head.  It certainly does. The table is
colorful and inviting. I m certain that Callie s Candies is going to make a huge splash
with both the locals and the out-of-towners today.
Callie walked back to the table and fussed needlessly with the display. Tobey knew
she was feeling nervous around him.
The problem was, everything was said that needed to be said, and yet none of the
important things were being said at all. Thus, an uncomfortable silence fell between
them.
It was taking every ounce of control for Tobey to keep his mind on business, when
all he really wanted to do was strip off Callie s winter clothes. It was so cold he was
starting to add intense visions about hot tubs and saunas to his previous beach and
bikini fantasies.
Not for the first time that day, Tobey gave thanks that they were conducting their
business together in the frigid outdoors. He didn t think he could keep himself from
tearing her clothes off if they were alone and indoors. Even as it was, the cold wasn t
working its magic on his overcharged libido.
Callie s pull was just too damn strong.

Callie looked at her watch and prayed that her twelve-year-old niece would show
up already. She had asked Ellen to help them sell candy as a buffer. Being alone with
Tobey was harder than she had ever thought it would be. And she had thought that it
was going to be pretty damn hard.

He was so dark and tall and gorgeous, her breath caught in her chest every time she
looked at him. She wanted to drag him behind a tree and pull him down onto the fresh
snow with her. She wanted to feel his heavy weight on her, his thick penis plunging in
and out of her.
But it didn t matter what Callie wanted. Simply put, the facts were not in her favor.
Fact: He was her hired consultant. It would be morally wrong for her to engage in
sexual acts with one of her employees. Under no circumstances did she want him to feel
that he had to sleep with her or else she d bad mouth him in the candy industry.
Fact: He wasn t the least bit interested in her anyway, so all of the high and mighty
morals she was desperately trying to cling to didn t matter for much at all. She would
have had to have been blind not to notice that since the day they had fucked in her
kitchen, he had made it a point to keep away from her. Even his phone calls were oh-so-
brief, as if he could hardly stand to talk to her again. Every time she thought about the
way she had stuck her tongue down his throat in her store, with absolutely no
provocation on his part, every time she remembered the way she had stripped off her
clothes and begged him to touch her, Callie felt more and more ashamed by her
behavior.
 Aunt Callie, I m here.
Callie spun around and hugged her little teenage salvation just a little too hard.
 Ouch.
 Sorry, honey. I m just so glad to see you.
Ellen raised an eyebrow, looking far older than twelve.  Yeah. Whatever. Hey, she
said, elbowing Callie in the ribs,  who s the hot guy? Your new boyfriend?
Callie turned a hundred shades of pink.  No, she insisted, but Tobey was already
making the introductions.
 I m Tobey, he said, as he reached out his hand to shake Ellen s.  I ve been
working with Callie on her business. I m a candy company consultant.

Ellen smiled and then looked back at Callie.  That s cool. I m Ellen, she said. Callie
thought she was off the hook, but then Ellen added,  I just thought you were her new
boyfriend or something,  cause she always goes for guys who look like you.
Tobey grinned and trapped Callie with his hot gaze before turning back to Ellen for
more information.  So Callie likes guys who look like me, huh?
Ellen shrugged.  Big. Brown hair. Lots of muscles. They usually treat her like dirt,
though, so I guess it s a good thing you aren t her boyfriend after all. Not realizing that
she d said anything out of line at all, Ellen turned to Callie,  So, what do you need me
to do?
Callie was having trouble keeping on her feet at that moment, so she certainly
couldn t open up her mouth to reply. Tobey, bless his heart, stepped in and saved her.
 We need your help selling the candy and the hot cocoa on the table. Make sure
that you tell everyone who buys something about the web site and hand them one of
Callie s cards.
Ellen nodded.  That sounds easy. She looked up and saw the web site address on
the banner.  When did you get a web site, Callie? I ll check it out when I get home.
You re practically gonna be famous now.
Callie still couldn t get any of her synapses to fire. Ellen s words kept playing in her
head. They usually treat her like dirt, so I guess it s a good thing you aren t her boyfriend after
all.
Was she really that bad at choosing boyfriends? How sad it was that she was only
getting a clear picture of her bad choices out of the mouth of a babe.
The doors to the rink opened and within a matter of minutes, Callie, Tobey and
Ellen were swarmed with skaters. People started with the hot chocolate to try and
warm up, but then after they exclaimed with rapture over the exotic flavor of Callie s
cocoa, and after the adults inquired about purchasing the mix to take home, people
turned to truffles and toffee and taffy. Tobey made several trips to Callie s car as their
boxes of backup supplies quickly disappeared. Between bites of candy and sips of
