Comment: Thanks for your feedback, guys! :) :) First season 1 drabble alert. Inspired by Robin's sexy phone call in "The Duel". Who else thinks Barney would have a thing or two to say about that? ;)

His cologne might be the most sensual thing she'd ever smelled. It surrounded her as he invaded her personal space, his eyes penetrating hers, his lips curled seductively.

"You saucy little minx," he called her then, for the first time.

"Don't know what you're talking about," she smirked.

"Ooh, right." He leaned in close. "You still interested in that piece of white chocolate?"

Her gaze never wavered from his, but she had a funny tingling sensation in her stomach. Confusion mixed with his cologne, and she knew that his smell would forever remind her of this puzzling feeling.

He waited.
