knew she would not back out. Maybe her family and Ruth were right. It was time to finally put Kenneth and his betrayal behind her and really start living again. “No, I’ll be there.”
    He leaned over and gently kissed her lips. “Then I’ll see you in the morning.”
    She nodded and watched as he crossed the room and walked out of her door.

    Michelle’s eyes widened. “So you’re really going to have an affair with him?”
    Dominique rolled her eyes, hoping no one else in the restaurant had heard Michelle’s outburst. “If that’s your way of asking if I’m going to be sleeping in his bed tomorrow night, the answer is no. What it means is that I’ve agreed to go jogging with him again in the morning. Then I’ll see how things progress from there once we get to know each other better.”
    “But you’re not interested in anything long-term and serious?”
    “Right. I don’t want anything long-term and serious.”
    Michelle took a sip of her soda. “I don’t know, Dom; not everyone is into recreational sex.”
    “Recreational sex?”
    “Yes, sex with no strings attached as long as the partner is safe. That’s just not your style. You’re the kind of woman destined to love any man you sleep with. To you sex and love go hand in hand. You’re definitely not into having sex just for the fun of it.”
    Dominique cocked a brow. Sex for the fun of it? That sounded pretty much like another name for casual sex to her. “Is that the kind of sex you’re into these days?”
    “Are you kidding? Who’s having sex these days?” Michelle asked, sounding totally frustrated. “I haven’t even slept with a man in over six months. Not since I told Marcus to go to hell and carry his interfering mama with him. Like I said, I have issues to work out before I become involved with anyone else.” She leaned back in her chair. “Now, getting back to Jordan. Did you say he has a brother?”
    “Yes, and he’s a doctor in Atlanta.” Dominique raised a dark brow. “Why?”
    “Ummm, no reason. Just curious.”
    Dominique sharpened her gaze. Her sister was never “just curious” about anything. She was downright nosy. “Is there anything or anyone else you’re “just curious” about?”
    Michelle smiled sheepishly. “Well, now that you’ve mentioned it, there is someone else. That well-dressed, extremely sharp, very good-looking brother who’s one of Danah Fairchild’s attorneys. Am I to understand that he works at the same law firm as Jordan?”
    Dominique knew Michelle was referring to Royce Parker. “Yes.” She couldn’t help but smile. Parker had been impressive in the courtroom today. His legal skills had been exemplary. However, she wasn’t stupid. His finesse as an attorney had nothing to do with her sister’s interest. Shaking her head, Dominique glanced down at her watch. “I have to get to bed early tonight. And Michelle, I prefer if you didn’t say anything to the family just yet. I don’t want them getting their hopes up. It will be hard for them to understand that Jordan won’t be a permanent fixture in my life.”
    “Too late. Ruth has already told Gramma. She was talking to her on the phone when we left.”
    Dominique raised eyes to the ceiling. “Doesn’t Gramma have better things to do with her time than gossip with Ruth?”
    Michelle shook her head. “Not on the days Grampa goes to his Masonic Lodge meetings. It’s my guess that Mom and Dad know by now, too.”
    “Is there such a thing as privacy in our family?”
    “No. So if you start sleeping with Jordan, I suggest you play it safe and stay overnight at his place. You never know when someone in the family might unexpectedly pop up.” She smiled wickedly. “Like I did today. It’s a good thing I interrupted things when I did. Five minutes longer and he would have had you stretched out on your desk.”
    Dominique’s color darkened. “No, he would not have.”
    “Wanna bet?”
    Dominique shook her head. No, she
