Caroline's Seduction (Montgomery Family and Friends)
told her the color and type of car he’d be driving before saying goodbye and breaking the connection.”
    Caroline looked at herself in the full-length mirror behind the dorm room door.  She’d been planning to study not go on a date with the sexiest man she’d ever met.  At least she’d straightened her hair before going to class earlier that afternoon.  Now it would be easier to put it in a simple but elegant French twist.  She just had to put on a light dusting of makeup and decide what to wear.  Not that she had that many choices.  The usual college casual attire of jeans and sweats wasn’t going to cut it.  She rummaged through her very small closet. 
    She still had the little black cocktail dress from an honors dinner thrown by the College of Education.  The shapely jersey dress with its sheer mesh scoop-neck bodice and three-quarter length sleeves with a hemline a couple of inches above her knees would be perfect.  It defiantly flattered her figure and she had gotten several compliments the night of the dinner.  Not that Kyle would be as easily impressed as a bunch of college students. 
    She gave her textbook and class notes one last guilty look, but quickly put them out of her mind.  Her grades were solid and she could study the rest of the weekend to make up for tonight. Dinner in Buckhead and a date with a man as gorgeous and intriguing as Kyle Wakefield didn’t happen everyday.  They didn’t even happen every year, at least not for Caroline.
    ******
    Kyle pulled into the drive running past the front of the dorm building that Caroline had named.  Knowing that she was a college student explained a lot.  She was probably too young for him, but he was still intrigued.  This was just dinner after all.  He never took women back to his house because of his daughter, and he certainly wouldn’t be going up to her dorm room after the date. 
    The door opened and Caroline exited the building.  She offered him a shy smile when he put the car in park and came around to open the passenger door for her.  She was just as lovely as he had remembered.  This night would definitely be a test of his endurance.  He just had to think of the bitterness and hard feelings associated with his divorce.  That would be enough to get rid of any warm and fuzzy feelings that might try to take root.
    “You look lovely,” he complimented Caroline after he’d been driving for several minutes.
    “Thank you.  I assumed that dinner in Buckhead meant dressy and my college wardrobe is limited in that area.  Too bad it’s such a long drive, but we can get to know more about each other,” she offered with another shy smile.
    Kyle wasn’t sure if he liked the sound of that, but what else could he do.  Maybe taking her out hadn’t been his brightest idea of late.  He could already see the stars in her eyes.  He’d spent all week trying to forget her and now they were confined together in a small space for at least a couple of hours round trip.  He wasn’t looking for commitment and she screamed forever after.  There was something very naïve yet sweet about Caroline Johnson, however and he couldn’t deny the impulse to indeed get to know her better.

    Caroline drove her car to Kyle’s house and parked in the driveway.  His daughter had been invited to a combination birthday and slumber party.  She would be staying with a friend the entire weekend.  Caroline had been surprised and very happy when Kyle asked her to spend the weekend with him.  She looked at the invitation as a step forward in their relationship.  They had been seeing each other for about three months, but he was busy running a billion dollar corporation, and she was busy with student teaching and other course work.  After all it was now May and graduation was just a couple of weeks away.    
    That was one of the reasons this weekend was so important to Caroline.  She knew she and Kyle hadn’t known each other very long, but
