They chatted for a few more moments before Dominique ended the call. What have I gotten myself into? That was the first question that came to mind when the heat of her libido had cooled and sanity returned. You’ll soon find out was the devil’s response, vying with the just-say-no angel on her other shoulder. She went back and forth between wanting to jump Jake’s bones right now and cancelling the dinner date she’d just made. As sleep overtook her, she still hadn’t decided. But one thing was for sure: Jake’s description of what he wanted to do to her had definitely whetted her appetite.

“Baby! I’ve met a man!” Reggie waltzed into Dominique’s office carrying two large lattes. They’d decided to meet at the office to check over a presentation for the following day before riding together to the Malibu photo shoot.

So did I. “Oh, really?”

“Yes, honey, and that no-good two-timing a-hole I’ve been crying over for the past month is now in my rearview mirror!” Reggie paced the room as he described his latest love interest to Dominique, the one he’d met the previous night and with whom he’d awakened with this morning.

“I’m happy for you, Reggie. But be careful. You tend to jump first and ask questions later. And while I’m not trying to rain on your parade, this sounds like a rebound romance.”

“Rebound, he-bound, what does it matter? I’m in love, sistah. I’m not hurting anymore!”

“Love doesn’t happen in twenty-four hours. You’re in lust, sistah. But hey, whatever floats your boat.” Dominique took a sip of her coffee and tried to squelch her ire. Her lack of sleep from the previous night’s restlessness had nothing to do with Reggie. “Besides the presentation and the shoot, is there anything else on the agenda?”

“I know what needs to be on your agenda.” Reggie sat and crossed his designer-clad leg as he muttered this answer.

“I heard that, Reggie.”

“No disrespect, Miss Dom, but it’s true. You’ve been snapping at me for a while now and while I’m not trying to get all up in your business, I’ll bet you ten to one that that attitude is all because nobody is on dick duty.”
