      You’ve gotta dance like there’s nobody watching, Love like you’ll never be hurt, Sing like there’s nobody listening, And live like it’s heaven on earth.

      —William W. Purkey

      Chapter One

      Dante, what are you doing here?

      Odette Dubois peered through the cracked door of her apartment, the chains still drawn across the door so that it was locked. It was a Saturday morning and her day to spend at home without any stress. Stress had just walked up and knocked on the door.

      I came to see my godson, Odette.

      I told you, you’re not obligated to help with him anymore.

      I don’t ever forget my responsibilities, O, and you know that. Come on. Let me see him.

      Dante, why can’t you just go and leave us alone?

      You know the reasons for that. You just refuse to see them as valid.

      There was a tug on her sundress, and she looked down to find the culprit. It was her six-year-old, Jamison, or Jamie, as she was prone to call him.

      Momma, is that Mr. Dantee? Can I see him? Her son had learned well to not call adults by their first name without calling them mister or misses. He really was a sweet boy. He was often shy and didn’t trust easily. His trust had to be gained, and it often took quite some time. Jace had been disappointed when he’d found out that Jamison had Asperger Syndrome. He’d blamed her for it, amongst other things.

      Jamison looked up at her with his beautiful hazel eyes, and she melted. With a heavy sigh she undid the lock and opened the door wide for Dante Roberson to enter. The handsome black man seemed to fill the room he was so big. She watched as he knelt before Jamison and pulled the pajama-clad little boy with curly, brownish blond hair into his arms. God, why did that tear at her heartstrings? Because you should have married him instead of that asshole Jace Rothbart. He was a better man all the way around.

      Come on, you two, out of the hallway. I was just about to cook Jamie some eggs and bacon for a late brunch. Would you like to join us?

      He was already there, so she might as well invite him to eat with them. Her son would love it. She’d tolerate it and talk to Dante later about just showing up unannounced. She’d asked him to stop coming around because it was hard for her to see him and not be able to act on her feelings.

      Dante looked up at her and gave her his million-watt smile and once again she could feel herself melting. He could make her want him with just that expression, and he damn well knew it.

      Sounds like a plan, I didn’t eat this morning.

      She smirked. Mhmm, ‘cause you knew I’d be cooking for Jamie.

      Guilty as charged. You know I love your cooking.

      Dante laughed and picked up Jamie, tossing him over his shoulder and carrying him through the small apartment towards the small kitchenette. He walked through the place as if he owned it. With a deep breath she followed after them. It was going to be a long morning.

      He’d sat at the kitchen table and put Jamison in his lap and the both of them were so animated that some of the tension she’d been feeling melted away. She returned to where she’d been cracking eggs in a bowl by the stove, listening to their chatter.

      Dante was actually good for her son, so she didn’t worry about him with Jamison. He needed a father figure. The problem was that he wasn’t good for her. He brought a need in her that was indescribable and hard to escape. It had been a need right from the very beginning.

      Her awareness of him was at an all-time high. He didn’t even have to say anything for her to know he was looking at her from time to time while dealing with Jamie. She could feel him. In every cell of her body, she could sense him.

      Done with her prep, she got out her cast iron skillet and griddle and then began to scramble the eggs and fry the bacon. She looked over her shoulder and gasped at the close proximity of Dante. She hadn’t realized that her son had gotten up to watch the small television that was in the adjoining living area and that Dante had come in to stand behind her.

      Shit! You scared me, she hissed softly so that her son wouldn’t hear.

      I called your name; you must have been engrossed in deep thought. Why so jumpy, babe?

      Stop calling me babe and please just back up.

      O, don’t be like that. I haven’t been this close to you in weeks. What’s the problem?

      With a soft huff, she turned around and turned off the fire under the food. She could tell getting him to just stop without burning the food wasn’t going to be an easy task. He still hadn’t moved, and she gasped suddenly as he once again invaded her space.

      He put his hands on her waist and tugged her close. She could feel the hard contours of his body through her thin sundress, and the electric heat of his touch sizzled right down to her clit. His erection pressed into her stomach through his clothing. Damn, I don’t need this, can’t handle his touch.

      She pressed her hands to his chest to ward him off. It was too bad for her that his chest was hard as steel and just as hard to budge. She looked up into his handsome face and was mesmerized for a split second until he leaned in to kiss her. She gasped and turned her face away so that his full lips just grazed her cheek.

      The problem is that you’re Jace’s best friend and I’m his…

      She knew she was stretching it. Dante had stopped being friends with Jace a long time ago. She was grasping at straws to keep him safe.

      His ex-wife and he’s my ex-friend. Period. You want this as much as I do. He grasped her hand in his and placed it on his cock between them, and both of them groaned in unison. I could take you right here, so hard and so fast our heads would spin. Just think about how good my cock would feel inside you as I thrust so deep. Deep enough that as I kiss you I could fucking taste myself.

      The pressure of his body kept her hand locked against him, and he rocked into her grip. The touch of his lips to her shoulder as he licked and nipped made her heart speed up, and she whimpered. Tell me you don’t feel our connection. That you don’t desire to be fucked within an inch of your life.

      Dante…

      No, just enjoy this…us.

      Odette allowed herself to be lulled into the sexual atmosphere between her and Dante. It had been way too long since someone made her body sing like this. Truth of the matter was that Dante had a way of making her forget herself and need things that only he could provide. He was right they had a connection. She’d never denied that. What she shied away from was deepening her relationship with him. She was all wrong for him even if he was all right for her.

      You have me so hard I’m close to shattering into a million pieces.

      That was a big revelation coming from a man who was in control at all times. His dominant
