CHAPTER 9

The next morning, a bleary-eyed Dina was awakened by the sound of her mother calling from the hallway, “Time to get up, Dina. Breakfast’s almost ready.”

It took Dina a moment to remember who and where she was, but she answered by rote, “Okay. Be down in a minute.”

Lying there in the silence, the memories of last night flowed back hot and heavy and all she could do was smile. Talk about Hot Times with Morgan Todd. He took her the moment he laid her on the bed and she wasn’t mad at him. Lord. They’d showered together at some point, and then it was her turn with the ramekin. By the time she dusted her way down his body, he was all but begging for mercy. Aunt Grace had to have heard them, in spite of the soundproofing, but neither of them cared at that point. It was the most erotic sexual encounter she’d ever had, and she and Morgan had had some doozies in the past. Nothing equaled last night, however, and she was amazed she’d made it home.

More than anything she wanted to go back to sleep and wondered if there was such a thing as a sexual hangover, but Jasmine and Rick were getting married in a little over four hours. The maid of honor would be needed.

She crawled out of bed and told herself that once she got dressed and put on her makeup, no one would know she’d gotten less than three hours of sleep. Except her still-crooning body, and Morgan, of course.

After another shower and breakfast, Dina was in her room getting dressed when her mother knocked on her opened bedroom door.

“You look gorgeous, Mama.”

Lynne did a quick twirl in her long smoke-gray dress that was topped by a beaded gray jacket.

Dina was dressed in a dove-gray, sleeveless silk gown. The string of cream-colored pearls accented her bare throat. She checked herself out in the vanity mirror. “I love the color and the gown is gorgeous, but sleeveless? Did the bride forget she was getting married in November?”

Lynne looked amused. “I know. Grace tried to get her to choose something a bit more winterish, but you know our Jas. Once she gets her mind set, no one’s going to change it.” She stopped for a moment and surveyed Dina. “You look pretty gorgeous yourself.”

“Thanks.”

“So how are you and Morgan doing? He told your daddy he wants you back.”

“He told me the same thing.”

“Well?” her mother asked softly.

Dina turned away from the mirror and faced her mother. “I really don’t know. One minute I want to run to him like a woman in one of those slow-motion old-school commercials. And the next minute a voice in the back of my head is saying, ‘Slow down. Remember what happened last time.’”

“That’s understandable.”

“He told me he loves me like he loves breathing. What’s a girl supposed to do with something like that, Mama?”

Her mother eyed her fondly. “Men are a trip.”

“Tell me about it.”

“You’ll figure it out.
